@SALLYSTONERULES Maybe something that's short or sweet. You could also go on the long side with lots of descriptions. I would add a spark of magic in the story, just at least some type of magical thing. The magical thing that happened can be bad or good. Just thinking about some quick classical fairy tales, most of them turn out bad. Ex: Snow White, The Princess and the Frog But magic can be good too. Usually the ending is a happily ever after, unless you're the villain. Which is kind of sad to the villain. There's always this moral at the end of a fairy tale too. Ex: Beauty and the Beast which is, well I'm sure you already know. Personally I would add romance throughout the book which ends up with the ship sailing. It's included in most fairy tales, but you don't have to add it in if you don't prefer romance. Also if you're not exactly the fan of "true love saves the day." Well, I hope if this helps you.
