2) Combine stories. Don't be shy. Cinderella might work well with "Mein Kampf."

3) Cross genres - as in 2, use other stories - but why not look at the Classics? Authors like Horatio Alger, Herman Melville, Jack London, Willa Cather and Alan Greenspan.

4) Change names, gender, age, locations - maybe even everything? (That would be another tale altogether (don;t tell anyone I told you).
