Okay, the Land Without magic knows Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Peter Pan, Merlin, etc, but the stories everyone knows differs. Authors are supposed to travel realms and record stories. Issac's immediate predecessor was heavily implied to be Walt Disney. With these facts in mind, what if there are other versions of the EF characters in different realms that other Authors wrote about and brought them to LWM? Nice theory. We'll never get the answer on that anyhow.

My opinion on that theory is that it's fine, but it would devalue the characters if they led multiple lives. So far, none of the realsm have shown to repeat characters in some parallel universe cycle.

I would just leave it up to plot hole or never knowing because Isaac referenced Cinderella when he hadn't yet seen Cinderella in the EF and yet his world knew about it.

I guess the only character that truly predated his story is Merlin.
