@Shadowlight Um, vaguely? I may have stopped paying attention to it at one point. XD
As for Red. Her profile is coming. I need to get my butt into gear and go do that. OH! And Boy got me season one of OUaT. He's amazing~ <3
I'm not sure if I want to bring in Emma/Henry into this since it would lead to, for lack of better terms, a Mary/Gary Sue. The main plot would be centered around those two characters along with a few others dragging along, and I don't want that; I want all of the characters to have an equal piece of the plot at the beginning. In addition, they're not exactly classic fairy tale characters or would be easily tied into the fairy tale world like Cora. Furthermore, people who aren't familiar with the series would be somewhat confused.
I didn't want to exactly follow the OUaT plot line anyways (hence the lack of new identities and long-term amnesia), so I'm going to say a savior isn't needed to lift the curse. And maybe Regina didn't cast the curse! (I'm going to have a villain WFP open later on to discuss and plot.)
BUT! That doesn't mean I don't want to rule Emma or Henry out entirely. If someone wants, they can play them; you just have to somehow incorporate them into a fairy tale (again, like Cora). Their role wouldn't be the same as OUaT, but their overall character would be the same.
I told this to Dreamy earlier (and this applies to @Elinor Brynn who's also playing a princess), but you can just "NPC" the prince until someone fills the slot. You can play him as you want until the real person comes along.
