Are You Writing Serious Fantasy? II - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

the guy who be short: Nar classifies Tolkien's - and therefore your story - as immersion fantasy. The reason for this is although it's our world, it's a different time, thousands and thousands of years removed from our own such that it's tantamount to a different world. Of course, there's plenty that is familiar and feels like "home", but that just makes it all the better. It's still immersion fantasy.
