What is a Fairytale? It's a highly moralistic story - usually warning. It's often completely unrealistic. This includes myths/legends.
Three main types of
fairytale-run-offs
Mirrored: exact same story, 300 times longer (i.e. goose
girl, by Shannon hale)
Twisted: same story, basically follows the same thing, but
it’s from a different character’s point of view, or it has a twist at the end. (i.e. once
upon a time – little red riding hood is also the wolf, so it’s a twist)
Fractured: more rare type. Everything is completely
different (i.e. just a few elements.
i.e. "Cinderella" character has two step sisters, but she’s an arson assassin – everything else
from the fairytale story goes away at some point).
