Ouat is about fairy tales, myths, Disney stories and fantasy , so are there any tales you would like to see covered in the future? Camelot has been hinted at but not covered (im not up to date hence why I didn't post this in the season 4 thread). Madam mim could be a great baddie.
I would like to see a proper dark version of the black cauldron and sleepy hollow

I would like some Native American legends explored. Especially, mysticism.
The witches by Roald Dahl would be a good fit. Grand high witch vs Regina
I know it's not exactly a Disney/Fairy tale thing but I'd love to see it.
At the end of series three when they were hunting at all the snow etc I hoped it would be Narnia but alas is was Frozen. Not that I didn't enjoy the Frozen arc.
And as above, anything Roald Dahl.
I especially loved the moment when the Conductor arrived back on earth from the monochrome afterlife and said 'Ah - in heaven, we are starved of Technicolor ..'
The Conductor would make a good character - and he does use magic.
If they decide to spawn more male villains they could go with Shan Yu or Jafar. And King George was also left hanging after his Storybrooke persona was apparently imprisoned, he could one day come back into the show and causing some trouble.
Hunchback was by Victor Hugo.
But most Disney stories are based on a book to be fair. Like frozen based on the book by Hans Christan Anderson.
Jafar was the villain in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
I'd like to see a few more of the "traditional" fairy stories covered. The Frog King/Prince could be good, although I suppose they'd have to go with the Disney version in which case I don't think it would work so well. But also things like the Elves and the Shoe Maker, the Golden Goose, Bluebeard, perhaps Snow White and Rose Red (obviously it would have to be a different Snow, as it is in the story). Actually one of my favourite fairy tales as a child was The Magic Porridge Pot, but it is a very short story so I don't think you could do much with it. I'd also like to see Goldilocks, but that story would take some tweaking as well.
I have to say I was disappointed in how they covered
I think that's a great idea, perfect way to tie it in.
