Yeah, this brings up a bunch of questions and a few plot holes.

What I want to know and what I think you are getting at, is: how did we even get our fairy tales, especially when most of them take place in the 1980s? I always figured that when the first Curse happened, not only did our world gain Storybrooke, but it also gained all of the fairy tales.

But now they are saying that Authors record these stories? So how could they record what hasn't happened yet? Either way, what I want to know is how our world got our fairy tales and characters when

A) Most of these fairy tales only happened about 30-60 years ago in the Enchanted Forest

B) We've had these stories for hundreds and hundreds of years.

How do the Authors fit into this? And how did we get our fairy tales?!
