| Moria says, 'Actually, this was a legit one, although I'm still rather fond of Anne Rice's version. :) Roshani Anandappa proposed it; the father in the story was a ship-builder whose fleet was lost along with Beauty's sister's one-true-love. It was especially cool since Beauty wasn't actually supposed to be pretty. (Yay feminist reinterpretations!) Anyone else remember this?'
