If they're going after a particular version (such as the Disney movies) then they're fair game. Straight fairy tales have so many different versions that it's hard to judge what's canon and what's not, so I think we mostly avoid them.
Bad Slash and such involving canon fairy tale characters could probably be PPCed, if the violations are obvious.
There are plenty of badfics and Mary Sues in the Fairytale portion of the Pit. Is there policy regarding PPCing those stories? I know that fairy tales are common property and most of the main characters are Sues anyway (Cinderella, Snow White, etc.), but not all fairy tale characters are Sues. And I've always loved fairy tales so seeing what people do to them in the Pit is extremely frustrating.
If this has already been discussed could someone send me the link?
