Welcome to the 2nd Annual Fairy Tale Fortnight!! For those of you who participated or read along last year, welcome back; for those who are just stumbling upon FTF, welcome! This page will tell you all about what to expect, as well as have a daily updated schedule of happenings.
This year, you can expect lots of reviews, giveaways, author and blogger guest posts, interviews and much more! You are of course welcome to stop by whenever and just browse, but because we know that this amount of awesomeosity can be overwhelming, you will find this button on every page:
All you have to do is click it and it will bring you right back here, where you will find the event schedule, which will be updated daily.
For those of you who are not content to just sit back and
Before I get to the schedule, there are a couple of small changes this year. To keep things streamlined, MY main page (ie this one) is only going to list my schedule for the day in full, and will provide a link to Ashley's schedule, along with a brief list of what you can find there that day. I will also be linking to Bonnie of A Backwards Story in each day's schedule, as Bonnie is awesome and has decided to share something FTFy with you every day of the event!
The 2nd change is that there is a form page for entering giveaways. With so much going on and so many giveaways flying around, it can get a bit crazy, so this year you will simply fill out the giveaway form once (rather than on each giveaways individually) and then will only have to comment on the giveaway page to win. Hopefully this will save you guys some time and confusion in the giveaways! :)
Now, let's let the magic begin!

Post-April but still awesome goodies!
Due to some trouble with blogger and/or evil fairy tale villains, a few posts went missing. I am attempting to recover them (which in most cases means rewrite), so as that happens, they will be added here.
A big apology to Megan, whose post was lost (but is now found!); if you had an FTF guest post that you sent me but don't see on my or Ashley's blogs, please email me so I can track it down!
