Hey guys! I haven't been very active lately due to work and school, but spring break is in a few days. That is when I hope to get back to making some artifacts I have put to the side.
Lately I have been reading Grimm's fairy tales, and there are a lot more than most people know about. In their book collections, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Kinder- und Hausmarchen, they collected hundreds of stories. Some were pointless nonsense, like Clever Elsie, and others had morals and messages, like Godfather Death and Mary's Child. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimms%27_Fairy_Tales#Volume_1
I also have just finished reading this manga: http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Kataribe-no-Risuto
In the story, the brothers Grimm had based their famous stories on magical items. The items related to the stories in mysterious ways, such as Aschenputtel (Cinderella), being able to turn back the clock.
It made me think about the artifacts in the warehouse. Did the fairy tales create the artifact, or the artifacts create the stories?
Anyway, I propose an interesting challenge. Out of the 201 original stories from the KHM, we have created several on the wiki. How about we fill in some more blanks on the list? It might seem daunting, but we have knocked out quite a few already. I just need to put the links up to the corresponding story.
