I really wanted to come up with some sort of a witty title for this post, but in that regard wit unfortunately proved elusive. Still, there is something to be said for being straight to the point. Something of a rarity for me … but I digress. Writing that post about dragons—Fire Inside the Mountain—a few weeks back set me to thinking, especially once I discovered that Craigslist listing for a dragon slayer. Brilliant, wasn’t it? I couldn’t help imagining some of the crazy things you would see listed if internet ads existed in any of the fantasy realms. So I thought I would explore some of the options … 
Just smells of intrigue doesn’t it? I rather suspect a situation similar to that in The Ordinary Princess, where the King and Queen were so desperate to marry off their daughter, they actually discussed hiring a dragon to take her captive in the hopes that some dashing young prince would come rushing to the rescue and be forced to marry her! How about this one? 
Pretty sure I would have answered that advertisement. Not sure what that says about me though … 
Any educated guesses as to which fairy tale character might have placed this services advertisement? I guarantee you won’t want to hire this fellow. Turns out a “guarantee of future trade” is generally not such a good deal. We’re barely scraping the tip of the iceberg here! What are some fun fantasy/fairy tale advertisements you can think of?

Rumplestiltskin! :)
Hmmm, I've got nothing. Probably because it's before 9am. But I look forward to reading what everyone else comes up with!
And the prize goes to … Jenelle! Well done. :)
LOL, loved these. The last one is definitely Rumplestiltskin.
Working on coming up with one of these; I'll comment again when I do.
Wanted: To train the Chosen One, a wise mentor with lifelong experience in self-defence. Skills in magic are preferred, but not required. The ability to turn a deep idea or truth into a short phrase is an asset.
The position could be a long and difficult one, as the Chosen One is naïve and incompetent, and there is a small chance of survival past the Black Moment.
However, the reward is a great one, knowing that your (sacrifice) teaching can save the kingdom.
Apply at the Falderal Farms; ask for ‘the guy who cleans out the barn’.
This is AWESOME, Blue. XD
This is a great one, Blue! Love it. Especially the part about the pithy statements and the Chosen One's incompetence. :)
Oh, my, just love it. Your posts always make my day :) Way too creative to handle!
Glad you enjoyed it! I confess, I may have broken into a fit of laughter once or twice while writing … or trying to write … this post. I was having way too much fun. :)
I was going to comment the answer, and then I realized other people already did. :( ;)
