Your point is valid, Songs from the Catacombs, and I'll have to rethink my decision.

You see, the admins don't tend to "accept" tales based solely off the Disney version, but since you have an understanding of the history of Tarzan, and the general legend behind him, we'll dig up her page from the dead again. I say it's similar to the whole idea of using Mulan as a base. Making references to the Disney version is fine and all – but the original ballad is something completely different (and I actually happened to study it, so that's how I know).

I've read the majority of the tales by the Grimm Brothers, worked my way through Perrault and I have a grasp of Anderson. Lang and Asbjornsen & Moe are the "major" fairytale authors I'm not acquainted with as well, but I have made two OCs from two of their tales. While I haven't looked into Aaron-Thompson's classification method in full, I do know a few groups due to research done for OCs. Right now, I'm just reading about the more influentical fairytale collectors, but I plan to look more into non-European tales (and Kipling, whom you suggested).

Well, the only reason why we "limit" OCs is because this Wikia was dedicated to be an encyclopaedia of interesting and well-thought out OCs. If one wants to post an OC online, Tumblr and deviantArt suit them just fine. We do point out the more problematic OCs (such as Pocahontas) and OCs based off stories which aren't fairytales (WALL-E, anyone?).

Thank you for your time. :)
