Author's Notes: Puss's Boots

Puss's Boots. This story is over ten years old, over 475 years old, and over thirty years old. As a child, I fell in love with a picture book of Puss-in-Boots; I loved the simple, colourful, elegant faux-Medieval art designs even more than the story. Years later, I studied history thrive fashion, and this one book still lives with me. I wrote this story three times; it was my first original fairytale, and my first original queer story.

Now, it has been rewritten to the form that now next represents all the fairytales that have come after it. In many ways, this story is a bridge between my Queering Fairytales series and my Fairytales in Space series; the characters are aspects of the ones thar would later go into space and makeAlicante and Zero their home, but it's heart is the more traditional Fairytale.

This story has the usual queer twist that all of my stores do, but there is also a bit of a twist in this story. I will credit you in the comments of chapter seven if you guess it correctly here.
