1| Do NOT steal any art; this practically goes for ANY shop. Our artists work hard to create these images, as well as the ideas that go into them.
2| Do NOT steal any ideas; writers work hard to create their ideas for a certain Fable (as do the artists -- stated above), and they don't appreciate THEIR work being stolen either. x: So don't do it.
3| Play nice with other kiddies. I don't want to see emo/angst in my thread at each other. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between play fighting and real fighting, so please make sure to not take it too far, or take it to pms.
4| Respect us. We're not telling you to call us God or anything, but we do want respect, but love questions. Don't tell us our place; we KNOW our place. Repeated offenses can result in Greylisting, and then in blacklisting with child-rehoming.
5| No chatspeak. It's really hard for us to read. x_o; Thanks.
6| Brackets; Not needed unless a roleplay is going on. x3 I'm sure you can figure it out.
7| No whining if you lost; we all hate to see a sore loser, and you WILL get one eventually. The more one works on their idea (and sets up a quest thread), as well as talking in the thread/letting us get to know you, the more chances you have of actually getting a Fable.
8| No whining about growths; We're actually working as hard as we can to get things organized, but as we have different artists, they work at different speeds. This is much different than sending a concerned letter - by this we mean whining in the thread. Just don't do it.
9| No bashing; Concept or otherwise. Constructive criticism is okay, but only if it's wanted.
Fables
Where, exactly, does a fable, a tale, a myth come from? Some might say from dreams, others from a twisted past. They come from the oceans and the desserts, from the trees and from old spirits. They come from the soul and from death. There is no white or black in a fable, only shades of grey, for nothing is without purpose, without meaning, and they are constantly changing.
The Pied Piper, tried and true played his wooden flute, but not for rats, for the souls of myths. He led them from their homes, in punishment, for adults who forgot their value. They had cheated the Piper, for his good deed, and he took their history, their stories, their fables.
Adults, in their busy lifes, didn't feel the real pain of the loss, yet the children of Hameln did. They, the youth, treasured their tales, and after their worries did nothing to inspire the adults to pay their debt, they fled in the night to find their myths.
Now in the common tale, The Children of Hameln followed the Piper's song, to punish the adults, but I, Fable, know the truth now. Before I was confused about my memory, but an old... Friend... Has reminded me of what I had forgotten. The fables followed Piper, and the Children sought them out. Piper, not caring where the legends scattered to, left them at the crossroads, surprise on his face as he found Hameln's youth spliting up at the roads, to find and capture a fable to bring back to their home.
But there are hundreds of fables, and one generation of children cannot hope to find them all. To take in the tales, living, changing things of the soul, each child had to take it into them, to live it, and therefore, couldn't handle more than one, without losing themselves completely.
So every hundred years, the children of Hameln would leave their homes, to fulfill their old quest. Soon enough, the adults could no longer procreate, and the city began to die.
And that is when our poor, misguided Piper returned, finding the deed to the town, and telling his own version of this strange tale. When one is the fairy godmother of every tale, it's hard to keep track of the past completely accurately, without assistance. My old accquaintence, Q'pid, has joined us at my request, and together, we formed our own idea of the truth.
The items we have been attracting these wayward children with are momentos of their old childhood, and the ones who haven't lost themselves completely to their tale, return. Some sooner than others. The only problem is that these myths are so powerful, that some children become them, and are no longer who they once where. However, those that come to us still have a shred of their original self, and can make the choice.
Will they give me their story, and continue as they once were, or will they... Become a Fable?

Why Fables instead of Children of Hameln? Though they are still children of Hameln, they did not originally come from Hameln itself; they did reside there at one point in their life, however.
So... what, are they the actual fable? No, they are not. It's true that they do have an item, but as to being the actual fable, they 'get lost in the story', so to speak. For those that are active, their Fables (from teen to adult) can choose to quest to become their version of the Fable, or remain a child of Hameln to guide the others in their growth. They will, however, keep the item and the bit of Fable they already are. However, if they become unactive, they will revert to being a child of Hameln, and lose their abilities.
What about the real legends? ... will you take the red pill, or the blue?
Wait... what? What about those who remember bits of their life? Okay, let's take Joan of Arc, for example. If someone achieved a Fable of her, she would remember bits of who she was, but until she grew up she wouldn't realize that she was indeed the 'real thing'. Believed to be reincarnated. The way that they're able to remember is because of the item they possess (whether or not it's drawn for you). Only the Piper realizes and knows this.
So... what is your definition of 'active' and 'inactive'? Hi-mi-tsu~
What was / is Hameln like? To be described later x:
What is the Pied Piper's purpose? No one but him knows.
Okay... what is Fable's purpose? ... she's the Fairy Godmother. 8D
How much are flatsales, and how do they run? Flatsales are held for two to four days, depending on what the staff's schedules are. In the flatsale, you answer a prompt to describe your Fable, and distinguish him / her with your own traits you insert into the actual Fable. :3 The price for them is 20k.
So what stories can we create? Any that exists; you can go from Aesop's Fables to Sherlock Holmes, Myths from the World (Ireland, Greek, Indian, etc.), Old Folk / Wives' tails... and, we may even stretch it to certain tales which aren't known as fables or well-known stories; you'll have to ask about those.
What don't you consider a Fable concept? Harry Potter, Dragonball Z, etc. I would consider some cartoons or anime able to be used as a Fable concept, but there's a very fine line, and you'd have to ask either Kanth or Indubitably.
So... we can make our own story? From scratch? We would prefer it if you didn't; we like to see twists of already made fables, as written by previous authors. HOWEVER, you are able to twist a story as your own, from a kid, with elements of both of the parents. This will not be available for a long while yet.
I can't find a story to use!! This link as well as this one should help some. ;3 Also, if you can find old wives tales, those would work, too.
How exactly do the items affect the Fables? With some, it's more extreme than others, but it basically changes their appearance, and gives them abilities that they didn't have as a normal Hameln child. The change doesn't turn them into the actual Fable, in example, the Big Bad Wolf may not be a full wolf, but he could have a wolf pelt, as well as a wolf tail.
What's with the items? It calls them - they do not materialize from the item, nor are they created from the item. They already exist, and the item is sort of like a whistle calling for a dog to come home. A dog can't survive without a master in most cases, as the Fable can't survive for long without the item.
What powers do they get, exactly? Any you feel that is up to your imagination.
Can we change the gender from the original fairy tale to suit the Fable? YES. Your concept is yours, and I would love to see gender changes fit the current Fable, and how the story is twisted. >3
How many Fables can you own? Limitless. You have to wait until your current Fable(s) grow up to adulthood, though. It makes it fair for others. :3
Do you allow pet trades? We're only looking for the ones on the list under Staff, but if you want to, you may offer a pet trade. Just pm your offer to the Fables mule. Just note, some of us are very picky. ^^;
I want one right now!!! Can I bribe you?! Yes. The artists have what they would like under their bribe lists. ;3
OMG that's too much D: You whine too much. :p
By CUSTOM, how CUSTOM are they? Meaning, you can design the first stage, and suggest what items/how they look in future stages in roleplay.
Roleplay... hmm, how often do we have to do it? Roleplaying and journal entries should be written once a month, or so. Nothing too big, but you must have at least a paragraph (four to five sentences) within a month's time. n_n; You don't get to lose your Fable if you don't rp, but if you don't rp that often, they just won't grow. ;3 Nothing big, yanno.

Yes, but I'm going to have to be selective. Immediate acceptions are Fa'e, GMFC, IoDM, and Tall Tales. HAHA! Like I'll ever get any one of those in my life XP
Customs?
They're always open, but expensive - 300k for semi-customs, 400k for full - because I'm pretty busy due to school <3 And when I have something to draw, I usually get distracted and draw it during science class XD

Do you do bribes?
Yep, gold and donation items are all good, and it really helps if I like your fable... my only thing would be not to execpt donation letters until after they're able to be opened... just so I know what I'm getting and all... of course, I'm also quite fond of miscellaneous shop items too, so be sure to offer things....
What about Pet Trades?
Actually, I've never owned a pet. Ever. So pet trades are a bit iffy. The quality has to be good, of course, but it also has to have a good story. And something that involves roleplaying <3 Oh! And I'd really like it if they were human... or at least, human-ish... I don't really like animals too much... though if it's really good, perhaps I'd think about it ^__^
Customs?
Of course! The actual price depends on what you want done... though if you make an offer on it, I'd be happy to consider it.. I'm not out to make people broke O____O" My only requirement is that you provide a good enough description of what you want done. If you're going to be paying the extra money, I'd really like to know that what I'm drawing is what you want....
