Yay for making the deadline! And the linkspam! I totally want a food carnival too. <3
But in the end, I personally am less interested in carving out chromatic spaces in white European mythologies. I would rather re/claim the stories that aren't explicitly coded, the blank "universal" narratives (e.g. superheroes or space explorers or cops-and-robbers capers), than expand upon the ones that were never mine to begin with.
*nods* I can't quite shake my fascination with white-European fairytales and 'what if' scenarios, but yeah, ITA about 'universal' stories.
