Some Important This and That

Well, I hope you’ll think this info is important, because I do.

There is a fun way to support EC indirectly on Facebook. If you are a lover of classic fairy tale pictures, you will love my Facebook group, “Classic Fairy Tale Illustrations.” By joining the group, you see beautiful images, mostly from the Golden Age of Illustration, posted by me. You can post too! But not if you don’t join.

And the images don’t just have to be from fairy tales. They can be fairies or angels or goblins or gnomes or any other enchanted or folkloric subjects. I do ask that they be on the upbeat side (no serious horror) and that they be suitable for any age. (Also, just based on personal taste, I loathe sexy fairies, angels, goblins, witches, etc. Ugh.)

My other important info concerns the angel card readings. They are extremely time consuming. Also, they don’t seem to promote any interaction with the site beyond reading the angel card post. What’s more, I get inundated by people convinced I’m promoting satanic behavior by using “divination,” even though I unambiguously state I’m not doing divination! I’d love to know what you all think about the angel cards. (I’m not doing the cards this week because I’m reading submissions.) Please comment below. 

Last, but not least: I am keeping track of interaction with the site. I’m concerned that EC is lost in a much larger world of fairy tales on the Internet. I’m also keeping track of page views, and right now, the amount of page views EC is getting is low. That’s with heavy social media promotion and a lot of time and effort on my part. Not to mention, significant expense. Please promote the site! Please read the stories!

That’s all for now. I would tell you who the illustrator was for this image, but I don’t know who it was.

Update: Thanks to A.M. Offwanger for letting me know the artist for the Goose Girl image is by Elizabeth Curtis and published in 1817.
