Twice-Told Tale	comment	Lots of works are based on earlier works. Sometimes a story is not only based on it, but really requires you to know the earlier story to fully appreciate it, or even appreciate it at all. A Sleeping Beauty story where the princess turns out to be a vampire, for instance, is missing something if you don't realize that it's "Sleeping Beauty". That is a Twice-Told Tale. When the recognition of the original story is crucial, writers can work with only the most iconic stories for this. Usually public domain works for obvious reasons. The Perspective Flip and External Retcon are subtropes. Fractured Fairy Tale may be, if it is fracturing a specific Fairy Tale rather than combining many fairy tales' characters, plots, and tropes. Many are parodies or satires, but it is not required. A twice told tale may or may not involve Grimmification, but rarely Disneyfication, since it requires knowledge of the original tale. Demythification may involve a twice-told tale if a mostly historical account is revealed to be the source of the legend. Related to Adaptational Protagonist. This generally includes Fanfics. Fanfic writers like to say that those other works on the example are critically acclaimed fanfics, too. Some fanfic authors recommend trying to avert this, actually, and make the story as clear as possible to the uninitiated. Fusion Fic is a type of fanfic that Twice-Told Tale is a critical element of, since recreating an existing story with the characters of another story is intrinsic to the concept. The trope's name comes from William Shakespeare's King John: Compare and contrast Whole-Plot Reference. Compare Historical Fiction which might expect knowledge about real events going into it.

Twice-Told Tale / int_2a842e3a	comment	Doctor Who Expanded Universe: Time Lord Fairy Tales consists mostly of specific European fairy and folktales rejiggered to take place in the Whoniverse: "Cinderella and the Magic Box" has the Eleventh Doctor in the fairy godmother role and the heroine going to the ball is part of his plan to defeat an evil vampire court, while the Green Knight faced by Sir Gawain is an Ice Warrior. Several stories double down on this trope by turning out to be retelling both a fairy tale and a televised Doctor Who story — "The Gingerbread Trap" is a combination of "Hansel and Gretel" and "School Reunion", and "Jack and the Wormhole" combines "Jack and the Beanstalk" with "The Horns of Nimon". The Third Doctor story in the Twelve Doctors of Christmas anthology, "The Christmas Inversion", is an alternate perspective on the television episode "The Christmas Invasion", and thus makes much more sense if the reader has already seen it.

In addition to a multitude of individual songs and short tales, they have three albums that each tell a different story: Once Upon a Time (In Space) is a space opera with fairytale (and nursery rhyme) characters that draws a lot of plot elements from Star Wars. Ulysses Dies at Dawn is a cyberpunk noir story that draws its characters from Greek mythology. High Noon Over Camelot is a Space Western retelling of the King Arthur legends set on a space station. The Bifrost Incident is a Space Opera and Cosmic Horror retelling of Ragnarok, set on a Cool Train.

The Lancre Witches books are mostly examples of this story type: Wyrd Sisters riffs on Macbeth, except that the witches are the Macbeth Captain Ersatz's enemies; Witches Abroad is about the witches' quest to stop "Ember" Ella from marrying the prince; and Maskerade follows Andrew Lloyd Weber's The Phantom of the Opera with some added twists and metacommentary on opera. Lords and Ladies takes a much looser approach to A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Carpe Jugulum draws on Hammer Horror movies and vampire literature in general. Outside of the Witches, Night Watch mirrors Les MisÃ©rables, notably switching the evil/good dynamic of the book, and Eric plays with the tale of Faust.

Those were "Elan and the Beanstalk", "Little Red Riding Hoodlum", "Goldenleaf", and "Greenhilt: Prince of Denmark". This continued later with the standalone Kickstarter story "Haleo & Julelan". The in-universe Framing Device for these is that members of the Order of the Stick tell each other stories starring fictional versions of themselves. And then criticize each other's stories, like complaining that Denmark, England and France are unrealistic country names.

The series is riddled with in-jokes and references to all three routes of Fate/stay night, it's direct prequel Fate/Zero, and the Fate Series as a whole, and is clearly written under the assumption that the viewer is already familiar with all of those works. Thus, for anyone unfamiliar with the franchise about half jokes wouldn't make any sense or would be missed altogether. As an example, the first episode alone makes numerous jokes related to Archer's true identity, a major reveal from later in the story, but makes no attempt to explain who he is.

Much of the book is retelling parts of those stories from the perspective of Sigmund Ausfaller or Nessus the Puppeteer, and trying to read it without knowing those stories is rather hard. On the other hand, Destroyer of Worlds does a pretty good job of introducing the Pak to anyone that didn't read Protector or the later Ringworld books, making it a lot smoother to read.

Twice-Told Tale / int_e9a9f587	comment	Time Lord Fairy Tales consists mostly of specific European fairy and folktales rejiggered to take place in the Whoniverse: "Cinderella and the Magic Box" has the Eleventh Doctor in the fairy godmother role and the heroine going to the ball is part of his plan to defeat an evil vampire court, while the Green Knight faced by Sir Gawain is an Ice Warrior. Several stories double down on this trope by turning out to be retelling both a fairy tale and a televised Doctor Who story — "The Gingerbread Trap" is a combination of "Hansel and Gretel" and "School Reunion", and "Jack and the Wormhole" combines "Jack and the Beanstalk" with "The Horns of Nimon".

Twice-Told Tale / int_fba3b3c5	comment	Neil Gaiman's short story "Snow, Glass, Apples" is a retelling of "Snow White" from the perspective of the queen; Snow-White herself is some kind of vampiric monstrosity, and the queen is a benevolent ruler who's only doing what's best for the kingdom. It would be an effective horror story without the original, but would still most likely lose a lot of its punch, due to the way it sets up the original story as a piece of propaganda invented by evil usurpers.
