No offense, but this has nothing to do with you personally.

As to religion, that should be saved for another thread that is more approariate to discussion.

All I wish to state is that fantasy writing can be very narrow minded or very open in style. It can be the fairy tale or it could be something more thought provoking. It can be redundant or it can be something new. It relys purely on the preference of the author.

Tolkien chose to take up a more epic style. I chose to do something with a more historical feel, something that could have happened, but never did.
