I want to nominate Janghwa Hongryeon jeon or The Story of Janghwa and Hongryeon, which is a Korean folktale. Do I use the complete english translation of the name which is: The Story of Rose Flower and Red Lotus or the one that keeps their Korean names?

I did a google of each title, and even the Rose Flower and Red Lotus brought up Janghwa Hongryeon jeon first. So go with Janghwa Hongryeon jeon, it seems to be the most common name. HOWEVER, if you wish, a lot of fairy tales in the archive are done like this:

original title | translation name (fairy-tale) or or similar. And then the characters are original name | translation name (fairy-tale's title tag)

It can get long, but it's very precise! I encourage you to do this.

Thank you for the quick and detailed response. :) I did just as you suggested-- just in case. ^_^

[crantz]

awesome! Thank you!

There's a folktale I want to nominate (the Fenian Cycle's "The Loathly Lady and Cup"), but I can't find a version of it online aside from Wikipedia. (I read it in Celtic Mythology A to Z.) D: Any suggestions for where else to look? Thanks!

[crantz]

I just looked it up and the wikipedia version is complete enough I feel comfortable putting it in as the source link. Feel free to nominate it without fear! There were also some other things I can (and you can!) link for more general information on it.

:D Hooray, thank you! I was hoping the Wikipedia page would be enough, since I searched high and low and couldn't find anything more substantial than that. On that note, what other things can I/you link?

[crantz]

http://www.maryjones.us/jce/loathlylady.html was apparently all there was extra. I misread another link!

Sorry for taking so long to reply - I had to leave town for a day.

Thanks for hunting down that link! (Somehow I missed it before, whoops.) Stories about Diarmuid (aside from his elopement with Grainne) are harder to find than I thought...

It's alright--now it's my turn to say sorry for the delay!
