I remember reading somewhere one time that the faeries were mischevious and could be evil while the fairies were good...

Folklore is a set of beliefs, stories, traditions handed down through generations of a culture, usually by word of mouth. \n\nFairy tales are stories, usually written down like Grimm's fairy tales, Hansel & Gretel, Cindarella, etc.  They are usually considered part of folkore. \n\nThere are some native american ones at http://www.pantheon.org/areas/folklore/folktales/\n\nOther american fairy tales include Paul Bunyan and Babe, the blue ox, pecos bill and Jonny Appleseed.  You can find some of them here - http://www.americanfolklore.net/\n\nHave fun!

Hmm, I've written short stories about both. Fairies are more fun for children's stories, but angel stories are interesting even to adults :)

Okay, let me start this off by saying that I am a paranormal researcher.  And I do this with purely scientific methods.  Which means that to date, I have found no prove of any mythical or paranormal beings.  This being said I shall put forth what I have found on this subject.  \n\nWhile there has been no actual accounts of fairies in scietific history, it is a very common theme in many cultures.  You have Leprachauns in Ireland, fairies and pixies throughout europe, the "little people" of native american myths (varying in temermant and discription from tribe to tribe) to other sightings throughout the world.  The closest thing to any proof of "small" people to date (excluding those who have dwarfism) is a recent discovery of proto human remains in indonesia dating back some 13,000 years.  These remains are actually similar to that of the homo erectus, but reaching demunitive stature. On average of three feet tall.  This species is known as Flores Hominid

Actually it is a misconception starting with the fairies them self. They aren't the cheerful little peps that everyone think they are. But yes fairytale where somewhat urban leagans meant to keep not only kids but everyone out of certain places or keep them away from certain people like pagans for example, Why are the witches the bad ones in most tales?.. Or to express their dislikes for members of the royal families, lord and people of higher class, the giant and orgers of the tales.  A lil something to think about, how long would it be until people like Bush or Bin laden have their own tales.

Well, it depends, but two clear literary and folkloric candidates for queen of the woodland fairies would be:\n\nQueen Mab---often a "negative" figure, Queen Mab is one Queen of the Fairies in English folklore and myth.  She is a woodland queen, associated with ideas of chaos and unreason, both in negative and positive aspects.  One function she has is to be a thief of children, which reflects her origin as the Cardea Goddess archetype (the Goddess as Protector of Children/Devourer of Children).  Her origins are as the Celtic Goddess Maeve or Mabbe in ancient Wales, and like so many Celtic goddesses in Britain she became a "fairy" after the Christianization of that part of the world.  She is associated with dairies, meadows, flowers, and appears in plays such as Ben Jonson's *Entertainment at Althorpe*, and is mentioned in Shakespeare's *Romeo and Juliet*.\n\nQueen Titania---the Queen of the Fairies in Shakespeare's *A Midsummer Night's Dream* bears more obvious signs of coming from further East than Mab, in that she traces her ancestry back to the jealous Mother-Goddesses/Divine Wives of the Mediterranean Basin (e.g., Hera, Juno, Jana).  Through her magical association with Bottom, the man with the head of an Ass, she is also a clear literary reference to Apuleius' *The Golden A*s,* which tells the story of a man turned into an a*s (think donkey, but with censorship by the always-vigilant Yahoo Answers) by witchcraft but healed and restored to human form by the Goddess Isis.  Titania is more eroticized than Mab, and has fewer menacing characteristics.

They are really different.  Irish has a softer brogue with a lilt at the end.   Scottish accent is harder, clipped sounding.

Dont listen to people like cheese!! There are fairies in Ireland and Scotland. That is basically where they come from and live at. My aunt went to Ireland/Scotland and she was in the stone circles and she had her arms out and the energy that was in the circles was coming out of her hands she got it on picture. If i can ill send it to you. The fairies are very mischeavous creatures and they live under the lochs in the sea. They also live in oak trees, especially when there are holes in the bottom of the tree, they also like to play in fairie circles "mushroom rings" dont ever step in one at night because the fairies will take you to their world and what seems like maybe 7 minutes will be like 7 years here. And one more thing dont ever eat the food there because then you are their prisoners.

In English folklore, Queen Mab is a fairy. She is memorably described in a famous speech by Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, in which she is a miniature creature who drives her chariot across the faces of sleeping people and compels them to dream dreams of wish-fulfillment.

Both are fiction.  That's like asking me if Snow White is more believeable than Cinderella.

Fairies actually WERE real, the people that inspired the Fairy archetype were the "Tuatha De Daannan" of ireland and scotland, a very fierce population that didnt like outside contact and hid a lot, they had this particular "height" (they were short) and they were called by outsiders "The Fairy People"... then a lot of misticism was constucted around them, because they were thoght to fly and so other things, they worshipped the goddess dana, there comes their name.\n\nAbout mermaids, dont know.

Imp is a term for a mythological being similar to a fairy, frequently used in folklore.\n\nIt's the least and weakest form of a Demon, and is more mischevious then dangerous.
