Memorable Characters
To be successful, a fairy tale needs to have characters that readers can relate to. Generally, a fairy tale needs both a hero and a villain. The interaction between good and evil is a critical element in the success of your story. When learning how to write a fairy tale, keep in mind that your characters don't necessarily have to be human. Plenty of fairy tales have been created using animal characters as a starting point. Remember The Three Little Pigs? Elves, goblins, fairies, witches, and other magical characters can also be incorporated into a fairy tale fantasy world. In this type of writing, the sky is the limit!
