When last we tuned into ABC’s Once Upon a Time, Mr. Hyde — through a deal with Rumplestiltskin — had laid claim to Storybrooke, so that those from the Land of Untold Stories could relocate to the Maine burg.
But what exactly is an Untold Story, other than one that didn’t merit inclusion in the first volume of Henry’s storybook?“It is a story that has yet to play out,” Once co-creator Eddy Kitsis told TVLine as part of our Fall Preview Q&A. “You’re going to see that a lot of people went to the Land of Untold Stories because they wanted to literally push ‘pause,’ like they were watching their own life on TiVo.”
So whereas Season 1 explored what happened after the fairytales people know and love came to a close, “This is a tweak on that idea,” says co-creator Adam Horowitz. “What happens to some of these stories if they don’t quite finish the way we thought they did, and were suspended midstream? And what would make characters want to suspend their stories?”

This is an interesting idea but it brings up some questions (that have been circling around for awhile…) about how if Untold Stories have been paused then how do we have the complete stories here in our realm?
Example: Jekyll and Hyde is a complete story with a beginning, a middle, and an end by an author in our realm. So how does that work?

Well it seems most of the OUAT fairytales only happened a few decades ago despite the stories being known to us for centuries in our world. Maybe some characters managed to get a glimpse of how their stories were supposed to end and were unhappy with it, and wanted a “pause” button to keep it from occurring, which the article goes on to say.
With Emma (maybe) having therapy sessions with Archie, I wonder if she’s going to go through that. Aladdin doesn’t seem to be happy with his savior role. Maybe Emma wants a pause button herself. Honestly, I can’t even properly predict anymore for this show.

Questions which are pointless. 😀
If you think about it, this entire concept (and possibly the concept of OUAT itself) raises deep, philosophical (and obviously pointless) questions. Do all stories exist in a parallel universe? Is there any such thing as imagination, or is all fiction based on something that really happened? What is reality? What if multiple stories featuring the same character contradict each other?
Anyway, I shall stop with all this pointlessness now, and just state that I am curious about what made these people want to ‘pause’. I do hope it’s more than fear of not having a happy ending. That makes them seem a bit spineless.

Stop it you’re making me long for things we can never have! I remember a time, feels like an age ago, when we would ponder how they’d explain how these stories came to be known in our world 100s of years ago. But LOLz nope, it just all happened 30 years ago and whatever don’t ask questions. Oh, the concepts they could have explored and the questions they could have asked and the stories they could have told to explain how the whole universe fits together. *sigh*
I’m attempting (and obviously failing) to not get bogged down by questioning the logistics of it all, because a few things have made me ever so cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season. It’s just if I actually try to think about it too much, the whole show concept falls apart and I just end up bitter and annoyed all over again.
To make matters worse, it gets really confusing when we have “fictional London” and “real London” — what does that even mean? Did some author use his/her imagination to make fictional London? If so, doesn’t that fly in the face of the “every story you’ve ever known is real” motto from season one? Hence, does that make Wendy Darling, who’s from “real” London somehow “more real” than say Alice or Cruella — both of whom are from fictional London? I know, my questions are pointless.

Unless this world isnt the “real” world at all… I think i made a thread about that. I dont the LWM is the same as Our world v_v Wendy being a real character within it is a big proof of that.

I think the whole reason they ended up making the Darlings from the real world is because they wanted Baelfire to meet them, and go to Neverland from there. However, they had to stay consistent with the fact that the bean sent him to the Land Without Magic. It had to be the same world, because that was specifically the world Rumple was looking to get to for centuries. Still doesn’t make it any less confusing. I remember when several people asked if the Darlings and Alice were from the same world, back when Wonderland first started airing. Adam had to keep telling people that they weren’t.

Just to complicate the already pointless question, Cruella and Alice aren’t even from the same Fictional London! So there are really two (or more?) fictional Londons that are apparently less real than Wendy’s London. So why are there multiple fictional Londons? Is one Fictional London more real than another?

Or is there only one Fictional London that just changes time periods all wibbly-wobbly? In other words, did the events of “Sympathy for the De Vil” somehow cause 1920s London to regress to a Victorian state? Or do different boroughs reflect different time periods?
