Hi everyone, new troper here and this my first thread on This Very Wiki. Have you guys heard about Deviantart user who goes by the name of Khialat (for the record, I don't know if he has account here)? Besides of creating fan-art for such TV shows like My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic or The Owl House and creating his own rendition of Ruby Gillman (utilizing the original version of the movie) he also did his own original series like Goldie (a Fractured Fairy Tale world with Goldilocks characters as central protagonists) and The Little Mermaid: Land and Sea (his own re-imagining of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale but instead set in modern day and being a full-on Fantasy Kitchen Sink due to appearances of such mythical creatures like unicorns, phoenixes, sphinxes and basilisks). But personally to me (and to other tropers aware of his work), his most ambitious and greatest project has to be series titled Myths Reimagined, series set in a world where All Myths Are True and features Khialat's own spins of classic myths and legends. What I like about this series is how it features myths from every country in the world (heck, even my home country Poland is featured in the form of his version of the Wawel dragon, the dragon that lived in the cave beneath Wawel Castle, in my family town Cracow), from famous ones like Greek mythology to the obscure ones like African Mythology. He even somehow managed to include Santa Claus into this world! Another reason why I like it, is because how it utilizes Rousseau Was Right trope - Medusa and her sisters are given a Adaptational Heroism treatment with addition of getting a happy ending (with Medusa and Perseus becoming Official Couple), Krampus is revealed to be Tragic Monster who got brainwashed by Shub-Niggurath after drinking her mutagenic milk, and after being freed by his mother Hera he becomed Dark Is Not Evil type of character, who continued to scare people only to encourage them to be more kind and be more appreciative with their families and communities. The reason why I am writing this thread, is because I hope that someone will create page about it on This Very Wiki, given that when I checked if it already has page here, and I founded nothing, I thought to myself: "Seriously, why such a awesome fan-series doesn't yet has page on it's own here?". So I thought that maybe You, people from this This Very Wiki, could create media page about it, given that I alone wouldn't be able to do it (both from personal reasons and the fact I didn't yet read all the entries of it). So if someone notices my thread and decides to accept the challenge of creating a page dedicated to this series, they can send me a message telling me that they can do it, so I could be aware of it and give my helping hand to those people by adding some information and in general familiarize them with the central topic. PS: The reason I created this thread here is because the series is technically Massive Multiplayer Crossover of myths, legends and folklore from all over the world, so it could qualify as a fanfiction.

I agree with you on wanting to see someone make a tropes page for this work.

Nice! And what if we add our Pantheon to the mix? Though we already had a dedicated thread...

Hello, it's me again. In which work should we put this series - fanfiction or web original? I want to hear your arguments for and against.
