	COMICON.com: Modern Tales: Call For Submissions
		Modern Tales' success lies in its low-budget, indie-focused strategy: while other comics-related "dotcoms" were raising millions and millions of dollars in investment capital, Modern Tales' founder, Joey Manley, was plugging along quietly and carefully, spending his own money, and never risking more than he could afford to lose.
		As a result, Modern Tales is solid, and not subject to the whims of the public stock market, or the greed of VC's (aka "vulture capitalists").
		Modern Tales Presents is open to works of all genres and styles, from the avant-garde to the traditional, from the least mainstream to the most.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.05.07
		A typical chapter in the main part of the book begins with a general description of a tale type as it is found in later oral tradition (and sometimes in medieval or early modern sources), and follows this with detailed summaries of two to four representative modern texts.
		Such religious tales overlap with fables, as in the account of the man who lost his axe and was rewarded by Hermes for his honesty because he did not claim a gold or a silver one.
		The tale of Cupid and Psyche (AT 425B) is here, along with a Hellenistic ghost story matched with a similar tale in which a wife goes to hell to redeem her husband (AT 425J, but unfortunately, both numbers are missing from the index of tale types).

	Pulp and Dagger -- Editorial #6
		Yet, the modern Weird Tales claims it is the direct descendant of the original Weird Tales and never misses a chance to remind its readership of that.
		If they can dish it out, I think they can take it, don't you?) The modern editors have indeed read the original issues cover to cover, especially the very first issue and, in the Anniversary introduction, we are told things did not look hopeful for the newly born pulp.
		The editors of the modern Weird Tales seem desperate for respect, so desperate they have forgotten the very roots they were supposed to be celebrating.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.03.23
		In contrast to modern tales, which are often abundant, ancient sources seldom include even a few versions of a single tale type.
		An early tale mentioned in connection with Aladdin seems perhaps more compelling: "Gyges...is a shepherd serving a royal master; he descends underground after a landslip and recovers a ring from the body of a dead giant inside the doors of the belly of a bronze horse.
		Occasionally, Anderson mentions in connection with an ancient tale that no one seems to have noted it as an analog to the modern tale, but he rarely credits earlier scholars for their recognition of such analogs.

		Manley has many thoughts on webcomics and webcomics publishing, but his core belief, on which he founded Modern Tales in March 2002, is that certain people will gladly pay for content if given the chance to do so.
		From this and from Modern Tales’ current success, we can further conclude that the webcomics audience is still elitist at present--not as elitist as superhero fandom, perhaps, but more so than the motion picture audience.
		Not only are the spin-off sites increasingly specialized, but Modern Tales has continued to roll out new features that increase its accessibility: a "Swapmeet" merchandise section (paralleling Keenspot’s Keenswag, but with a higher stake for cartoonists) and RSS feeds and a "syndication" feature.

	The Cinderella Complex - What do modern fairy tales tell us about our culture? By Jill Hunter Pellettieri
		Both films are updates of Walt Disney's well-known take on the classic fairy tale, in which a passive, preternaturally good young woman is saved from a dismal life as a scullery maid by the arrival of her Prince Charming.
		Historically, fairy tales have reflected the values of the society in which they were written or revised--mirroring its preoccupations, obsessions, ambitions, and shortcomings.
		The Bachelor, perhaps our most horrifically explicit public enactment of the fairy tale, thrusts its young female contestants into an environment in which they're all vying to be "chosen" by "the one"—just as the prince in these fairy tales must "choose" his bride from a pool of eligible maidens.

		From the heroic romance of "The Knight's Tale" to the low farce embodied in the stories of the Miller, the Reeve, and the Merchant, Chaucer treated such universal subjects as love, sex, and death in poetry that is simultaneously witty, insightful, and poignant.
		The tales are linked by narrative exchanges and each tale is presented in the manner and style of the character providing the story.
		I remember slogging through The Canterbury Tales in Middle English when I was in high school and although the language is beautiful, having to take time to decipher it all did diminish somewhat the enjoyment of a terrific collection of stories.
