    I wonder who this new friend is.

    Daniel?! Lover and only friend. Would explain why it took her 40 years to get over him.

    Could be. I am expecting it to be another fairytale character though. Honestly, if it wasn’t for that travesty of a “backstory” for Maleficent, this would have been an awesome time for this story to be about how Regina met and became friends/enemies with her. I remember people once speculated Maleficent was once her fairy godmother :/ If its Daniel, that’s cool too, but we already know how that story ends so I don’t think it’ll be him for that reason but it could be.

    It sounds like the story is mostly set when Regina was ‘young, pure and innocent’. So I doubt she was friends with anyone shady – unless of course, it was someone who later developed into a villain. If it was someone other than Daniel who was a nice person, I can’t help but think that we’d have heard of them. Regina didn’t seem to have many people in her life at that stage. A good friend would have been a HUGE supporting factor for her. That’s why I can’t get past Daniel. Either way, reading about Regina developing a friendship will definitely be interesting.

    Huh. Talk about minds thinking alike. I myself have a similar idea for a fic.

    Basically, my fic begins with Regina asking Cora to teach her magic. Realizing her mother uses Cora’s magic, she runs away, on horseback. But her horse gets spooked and throws her off. It is at this point, she meets Daniel, who soon introduces her to his sister. They become friends. When she returns to the castle, Henry covers for her. Anyway, toward the end, there’s a ball (yeah, I’ve chosen to ignore Regina’s line about never having been to a ball; it makes no sense) to commemorate a new statue of the goddess Ursula that Cora has spun. Daniel’s sister helps him “Cinderella” it out by making him a suit out of curtains. Although he introduces himself to Cora as some nobleman, she has her suspicions. Nevertheless, he and Regina are able to get one dance in (to “Some Day My Prince Will Come”) before he has to leave. Regina later returns to his stable for another dance, set to Disney World-like fireworks.

    It remains to be seen how similar this book will be. I paged through Red’s Untold Tale some at Barnes and Noble, but it didn’t seem that interesting, though.

    I don’t know how I’m just now seeing this. Probably a combination of not visiting the General Discussion board much and being on vacation.

    Thought I’d float this thread, since the book came out today. Tried looking for reviews, to no avail (other than user reviews).
