I'm curious.

What sort of fairy tales do you have back in your original worlds?

Comments

[mysilenceknot]

We had a great many fairy tales where I came from.

[raven_daughter]

Such as?

[mysilenceknot]

Grimms fairy tales, the works of Hans Christian Anderson. There are many books of collected fairy tales. Or do you mean, examples of titles?

[raven_daughter]

I'm familiar with both. Anderson's are particularly beautiful.

[bukapintu]

...So we're all from different worlds? Damn, this is sounding more and more like a sci-fi flick.

Um... guess I can't say 'the usual' Mother Goose stories, huh?

[raven_daughter]

Of course you can.

[bukapintu]

Then the usual.

[raven_daughter]

How simplistic.

[thebestnation]

Ones that involve cowboys...Or people turning into animals.

[raven_daughter]

Cowboys? What about cow girls?

[thebestnation]

It all depends on how you tell the story.

[raven_daughter]

So yours are open for variations.

[shrunkensaiyan]

Well most of the ones I know are based on true stories. Like the legend of the Dragon Balls, the Sacred Water of Korin Tower or the Demon King Piccolo...

[raven_daughter]

The Dragon Balls were mentioned before, here. An interesting tale.

[shrunkensaiyan]

So you were speaking to Gohan then? He's my son.

[raven_daughter]

... Your son?

... It become difficult to define what a "fairy tale" is when the world you live in could be considered a living fairy tale all its own. Be that as it may... I read mostly fantasy fiction in my library.

[raven_daughter]

Even those kinds of worlds must have their own version of the fantastic.

[wizardoftheweek]

Legends and myth and the like, yes. One particular legend that fascinated me was that of the "White Lotus Saint", a being that was considered a savior to Youkai almost a thousand years before Gensokyo was even established.

[raven_daughter]

It sounds beautiful.
