Realm travelers from EF. Since they have realm jumping capabilities and magical items to do so.

Something Jack Sparrow said in POTC. When another pirate said something about no survivors, Jack said "Where did the stories come from?" (summin like that)

So yeah.. story tellers. I think it is from realm-jumpers who bought us the fairy tales

and then in return,bought other worlds our stories. They may even have bought bibles.

So yeah, realm travelers. Just like Mushu xDDDDD Although it makes sense as an overall idea... How would you explain that most of the fairytales we know in the LWM take place just a few months/years before 1830? And even if the story tellers did come to the LWM, it would likely be that the only ones that could've done that were Mulan, Aurora, Phillip, Cora and the Merry Men...

Since fairytales are much older. For example, Snow White that was not even *published* until 1812. So, the only possible explanation I can think of is some kind of prophecies were made, pretty inaccurate to be honest (they told short and separate aspects of the future, without explaining the relations between them, for instance Rumplestiltskin, Beauty and the Beast, and Peter Pan were written separately without mentioning one of their characters would be the same person).

I personally like to believe that they were all part of the Dark Curse, that had always been meant to happen. That way, when the people from EF reached SB, they would know their past lives without recognizing themselves. For example, Mary Margaret obviously knows the Snow White fairytale, such as Ruby who was likely aware of the Little Red Riding Hood story, or Archie who had pretty likely read Pinocchio.
