Okay, so, usually when one is writing a story that incorporates elements from a fairy tale (Ella Enchanted comes to mind), certain details can be changed because fairy tales tend to change with every version. But right now, I'm writing a story that uses elements from Pinocchio, which, while considered a fairy tale, was published as a book with a very definite storyline. Now, I realize the Disney version took a LOT of liberties with that storyline, but I'm just not Disney. So my question is, if I have to fudge details here and there for the sake of the storyline (like stretching the amount of time between Pinocchio's creation and when he wanders off), am I going to get burned?
