Can _ be a heart-tale?:
A good rule of thumb is long as it has a narrative, it can be a heart-tale, therefore something like a video-game, a song, poetry, myth, legend, a real world event, etc. Any and all definitions of story can fall under a heart-tale.
Thank you for reading this. It’s been 2 years since I coined this and I honestly feel the exact same about white fang and unleashed, I hope many more find this label useful. 🙂
