I'd just like to add that going for setting austetic in Once really isn't important. While others go with more mantra "it happened when it was created unless otherwise said" Once is having much more wide fun. Since otherwise it's very ahistorical that Snow White could be coexisting with Robin Hood, Lancelot, Cruella De Ville, Pinnochio and some others.

But I personally consider that a very GOOD thing. As sticking things entirely to the previous mantra limits creativy for cross overs. I like the chance some story you might not expect to be in the Fariy Tale World. It does throw some theory fun right out the window without a logic of "this should be here", but I think it's worth it.

But while we're on the subject, with just "fairy tales" there are a magical apple tree full of stories to incorporate. Beyond that the things in the public domain are even more trees. Plus all the books Disney has picked up movie (and possibly tv rights by extension) rights, they already have enough to keep the show going for many seasons before they probably go seeking out others.

But then of course looking at this from the other perspective. Once is filling that audience gap as it is now even thought playing very close to the Disney fence so far. I'm sure the bigger people at Disney aren't overlooking that fact. It might work very well in the show's favor if comes time for a spin-off or sequel series. Since they've already got a world started, and going to further fictional realms might very well get the show even more of a audience.

But yeah I wouldn't expect many things not under the public domain or Disney banner on the show. Unless of course the writers are REALLY a big fan of it and want to try and make some of that Disney magic happen
