What genre isn't Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? We've already talked about how it's steampunk, and now it's cyberpunk too!By wtfolklore@gmail.com (What the Folklore).

It's that time of year again, everyone. The d'Aulnoy train has been speeding toward us for a year, and it has finally arrived.

A content warning: this story kinda involves sex trafficking. We have agreed that we have to talk about the daughter in question as an adult, and the trafficker is a magic bear prince, but it's still a little uncomfortable at moments.
