...well, I don't know. I'm sorry! Here are my two schools of thought, and you, dear friends and readers, can help me decide.
On the one hand, I kind of agree with Writtenwyrd and Erin that "The Frog Prince" is the most reasonable option. It is, after all, a retelling of the story. It also tells the reader what to expect, but keeps them guessing as to how a frog will actually factor into the story.
On the other hand, I like "The Goat, the Princess, and a Big, Fat Lie," and "The Princess and the Goatherd," for exactly the opposite reason--they don't give away the fact that this is a retelling of the fairy tale, so that aspect of the story would come as a surprise.
I liked all of the entries. Every single one of them was better than "How Helena Kissed a Frog and Made a Prince," which was the only alternate title that I came up with, but reminds me too much of "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," which I've neither seen nor read.
So, please vote: "The Frog Prince," "The Goat, The Princess, and a Big, Fat Lie," or "The Princess and the Goatherd."

The Frog Prince is very familiar, I think it might have been used.
I like the Goat, the Princess..."
The Frog Prince. The others are too long for my taste.
The Princess and the Goatherd
. . . hey , what kind of competitor would I be if I didn't vote for my own? :)
I like The Goat, the Princess, and the Big Fat Lie. But take the comma after "big" out. I'd like to read it, but I couldn't get in the door. They said my name wasn't on the list, and then I think they made fun of my shoes.
I vote for "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." Wait, was that an option?
Sorry, Blogless, I'll reopen it.
Also, as far as I can tell, you aren't wearing any shoes. I'll have to speak to my bouncers. If they are going to insult you, the insults should at least be true.
I'll go with 2. The Frog Prince is a little dull — and cliched.
I still like The Frog Prince. I am glad my off-the-cuff 'joke' offering was actually liked by you, however.
I'm going with Big Fat Lie...I like the idea of someone in your story being fallable from the get-go. ;o)

Hey, thanks for letting me slide under the rope. I'm off to read it now. In the meantime, I'm tagging you.
