Shouldn't Fairytale be spelt Fairy Tale (with a space)? -- Renduy 20:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC) reply

Certainly not with a space. Compound nouns used as adjectives get at least a hyphen, and sometimes get stuck together -- as in "fairytale", which is a common adjective. Goldfritha 00:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC) reply

As far back as the Brothers Grimm, transcribers and retellers who were specifically aiming at children were editing the stories for that audience -- Disney is merely a part, and a fairly late part, of the process. And as for the early ones being "unsuitable for children" -- many were told to audiences including children in all their gory and immoral glory. It was a matter of opinion what is actually unsuitable. Goldfritha 17:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC) reply

The list is getting very long. Unless someone objects, I will split it off soon. Goldfritha 01:11, 6 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Why is listing The Journal of Mythic Arts as an online journal of fairy tale fantasy considered spam? It has been online for ten years, has published many critical works on fairy tales and fairy tale fantasy, and is cited as a reference and an influence by the two other journals listed, The Fairy Tale Review and Cabinet des Fees.

It seems to me to be odd and anachronistic to describe what is most commonly referred to as "literary fairytales" (which emerged in the late 18th century) as a subgenre of the fantasy genre (which came to be defined only in the mid-20th century). And in anycase I don't believe that "fairytale fantasy" is the WP:COMMONNAME of the 19th century genre of literary fairytales. ·ʍaunus· snunɐw· 21:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC) reply

There is a huge difference between a fairy tale and a folk tale. Example: Fairy tale- Beauty and the beast. Folk tale- The greedy spider....For more information please contact me 071 089 1103 or Facebook me: En Hle or WhatsApp me:071 089 1103 41.116.75.221 ( talk) 14:37, 27 July 2022 (UTC) reply
