None of my OCs are for stories that have Disney movies (I do have two Snow Queen OCs on dA, but Frozen is inspired by the Snow Queen, not an adaptation of it) - I refuse to create OCs for Beauty and the Beast or The Little Mermaid since they have Disney adaptations. Some of my OCs have stories with other adaptations, though I try to base them on the original. I created Maria Wassermond for that purpose - her magic touch is related to something that does not even appear in the anime adaptation of the story. (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that episode of GFTC - and the prince in the episode is my avatar on dA - and he will be here soon. But originals always take precedence over adaptations in regards to EAH.)

I have a question, Emma: have you seen any Thumbelina OCs that were based on Don Bluth's adaptation? Actually, there is more than one version of beauty and the beast. I've found a story called Little Broomstick which happened to be one of (or even) the earliest version of Beauty and the Beast. The plot is somewhat the same except in the end, The Beauty's, Nettchen, sisters drown her and she is brought back to life by an encantress while the two wicked sisters are turned into pillars. I ,myself, have a daughter of Nettchen and the former beast. Technically, my OC Toutebelle Mouton is from an early variant of the story - a version by Madame d'Aulnoy. It's similar to Beauty and the Beast except that the "beauty" is a princess and the "beast" is a ram who used to be a prince. It actually ends badly for the ram - he dies because the princess broke her promise to return to him and stayed at the castle too long. The princess does not die - she simply ends up unhappy.
