That’s awesome! Fanfiction is so fun, and there are pluses and minuses to both fanfiction and original work. And retellings are a great idea! Thanks for mentioning that.

Another tip is to take a classic or fairy tale that’s in the public domain and re-imagine the plot or retell the plot on a different setting using different characters.
