I personally want to go towards the myth/legend route. Basically a "historical" event which was "enhanced" "slightly" by magic or other stuff.

@PyroDash888 (There's no way I'm quoting that whole thing) it might be more relevant in Germany. I don't know, I've never been to school in Germany or been their period. I respect that it might matter to you but the fact is that even if I understand the differences you're trying to iterate (I understand what you're saying but I still don't think any of those characteristics relate to one genre over another) it doesn't really matter to me. If you want to write a story with all animals for characters you're welcome to, (though I'm not really sure how exactly that would work out). In Canada the difference between fables and fairy tales is more or less none existent, though now that you mention it I do remember feeling like I'd been hit over the head by the morals of some fairy tales as a child (The Ugly Duckling most notably). If you pick up an English dictionary (or perhaps I'm thinking of a literary dictionary... whatever) and look up "fairy tales" and "fables" you'll find both definitions to say something to the effect of "a children's story involving fanciful forces that is meant to convey a moral".

Does it have to be Western style fairy tales/fables?

Or can I go a slightly different route, I was thinking Arabian Nights for instance.


As long as I'm not hearing the story of Scheherazade retold with HOB characters you are more than welcome to conjure up a different type of fairy tale(fable).

I personally want to go towards the myth/legend route. Basically a "historical" event which was "enhanced" "slightly" by magic or other stuff.


And you are more than welcome to do that. Just try not to make it too much like a typical story. The kinds of stories I'm looking for would be the kinds of things that got told around a campfire. Generally speaking in campfire stories you wanted the children to go away content with an ending, not worried about the implications or whether the hero did the right thing.

I'm going to shut up now with the advice. Read the prompt, read what I've said and write a story. Once Judgement Day comes I'll tell you if you hit you're mark or not.

By the way, what you wrote was total gibberish.
If I'd transcribe what you said into English, acknowledging the order of the words you put, because that'd make a tiny bit of sense in English, but not in German, I'd say it this way:

"Not a big attention/respect/consideration"

which makes a tad bit of sense in English, but only because the words are in the correct order. If I'd rearranged them to make as much sense in English as they do in German the result would be something like this:

"Big attention not a"


Huh. I thought eins was One. Guess I suck at german even more.

Ein is one, two in germAn begins with an S so when you count in quick succession it sounds like Eins.

It does. But it also is a form of "a/an"

Ein is one, two in germAn begins with an S so when you count in quick succession it sounds like Eins.


Do I have to tell you what bullshit that is?
1 eins
2 zwei (sounds like tswei)
3 drei
4 vier
5 fünf
6 sechs (sounds exactly like sex)
7 sieben
8 acht
9 neun
10 zehn
11 elf
12 zwölf
13 dreizehn
14 vierzehn
...
20 zwanzig
...
30 dreißig
...
100 hundert

and so forth.

Hee hee, yup. I'm absolute Fate garbage - I can't help myself. This character started out as something else and sort of morphed into pseudo-Shirou, and for this RP I just decided to go all the way.

And Rin is best girl, for sure.

Shirou is such a newb. But I did model a bunch of Oswald's personality off of him. And how I used to be, in my cringeworthy high school days.
