1. My current theory is that Henry’s father is Hook. I’m not sure on the exact rules of fairy tale characters existing outside of Storybrooke, but I don’t want to believe that Bae is the father and we already have a lot of new and returning characters so I’m hoping it is someone already announced. My second pick is Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk.

"The Uncertain Places" by Lisa Goldstein is a book that unfortuntally doesn't quite live up to the promise of its summary. A description of this book certainly hightlights its strengths--this is a story that works with fairy tale tropes in such a way that seems imaginative rather than derivative. The tale follows a young man in the early 1970s who ( Read more... )

So the latest episode of Once Upon A Time only solidified my belief that the baby in the traditional Rumpelstiltskin story would have been better off with the magical imp rather than that being raised by a mother willing to bargin away her child ( Read more... )

This weekend is the "Alice" episode for "Once Upon A Time" and I am happily bouncing in anticipation. While Rumpelstiltskin has been my favorite character since almost the moment he first appeared on screen, that doesn't mean I'm not also thrilled to get another version of The Mad Hatter. I'm laughing that we're going to be getting yet another tea ( Read more... )

I hope to do a better job about keeping up with all the wonderful fic coming out for OUAT, but here are a few of my favorites so far.  I'd love to hear what gems other people are enjoying!

Cyprith http://www.fanfiction.net/u/454361/ is turning out tales at an amazing rate, but these are finely crafted little gems where each sentence shines like a ( Read more... )

Alas, this coming weekend brings no "Once Upon A Time" (giving all of us Belle/Rumpelstiltskin shippers an extra week to form theories/catch up on the wonderful fic lighting up the internet/actually talk to our families....)

However, fairyland isn't gone from TV all together:

Friday Grimm is back.  Is it just me or does it seem like this show is ( Read more... )

As I believe there are a few new names on the f-list, I wanted to post a bit of an introduction for myself and the cast of characters likely to show up in this journal.
I primarily use this journal to talk about things that I'm reading or watching. Right now I am utterly delighted in the fact that the latest Hollywood fad seems to be fairy tales. As ( Read more... )

So after "Skin Deep" I've been plotting on how to get Belle out of that hospital and wondering how she would manage to get word out Mr. Gold that she's still alive.  So here's the result.

Title: A Memorable Detail
Fandom: Once Upon A Time
Character: Belle

Every madness needs a memorable detail.

She remembered a princess conversing with a horse's skull

Wow, this post has been sitting in my e-mail in-box for a few weeks.  Should probably go ahead and post it...

As proof of the level of insanity in my life, I offer up the fact that I didn't get around to watching Sunday's episode of Once Upon A Time until Tuesday evening. I wonder if The Littlest Black will ever appreciate the sacrifices I make :)  ( Read more... )

I seem to have gotten into a rut where I feel as though I can't post anything because I haven't posted in a while.  Well, that and I've been rather busy...

The Littlest Black arrived safely about 2 months ago.  While labor was long, I'm ever so grateful that I did not have to get an epidural--not because I had any desire to experience natural ( Read more... )
