Leaves room for more space and variety for them to work with, and I honestly don't care if fairy tales showed up in our world before they "happened".

And that gives way for SB characters to double as classic Oz characters so, yeah. Well, Rapunzel said she was trapped in the tower for many, many years. So she could have been trapped before the first curse, and then frozen for 28 years, before Charming freed her. So that means her story did already happen and could have reached LWM before Storybrooke came into being.

Wrong again.

In that case, half Rapunzel's story happened before, and the other half-the more important half, with Charming, the fear, etc. happened recently.
