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

Hey, good question. I must have missed it. In my real world meets twilight zone stories, my characters are in a bad place telling stories to keep their souls alive-- ex, my little old lady in a nursing home is telling stories to keep ownership of her life, but she keeps getting interrupted *would do mad smiley here but it would be too harsh, what's kinda mad?*. She's currently duelling with the pill-dispensing lady, and I'm trying to think of what fierce and horrible story she will deploy to fend off those pills. In my adventures in a strange place-- I guess that's fantasy-- my characters are throwing themselves at the limits of their lives. So in the first case, 'How can I stay myself?' in the second, 'I hate death/entrapment.' Those are my two themes right now.
