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

If you haven't guessed already, Laiedheliel, my standards for serious fantasy are pretty high. If it starts out as fanfic then takes off and becomes truly your own, then in my pov it's serious. I guess part of the standard for me is that the subcreation is coming mostly out of your own creativity and does not depend for its very existence on someone else's subcreated system.

By the way, welcome to the Downs, Laiedheliel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
