Carolyn Turgeon already twisted the story, by having Rapunzel become Snow White's stepmother. Fairytale character might be public domain, but that book's plot is copyrighted.

Considering how popular the Tangled animated series is, it is unlikely Disney would even allow that type of twist. Whether fans like it or not, the Disney inserts are probably the only thing, keeping ABC from cancelling OUaT. That's just a general idea though. Carolyn can't say that any book, movie, tv show, video game, etc. that features Rapunzel becoming evil is because they stole the idea from her, because making a good public domain character evil is not that far of a stretch.
