Are You Writing Serious Fantasy?

Whoa! Good stuff here, folks.

Thinyandoiel:

I think a good fantasy idea for a culture like that would be for some typical evil lord to come up and turn everyone immortal, and their resulting struggle to live without what they honoured most. *muses* Huh...muse is at work now. Great. I'm off!

So, can we expect a new plot twist in your fantasy? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lila:

The main thing in my story isn't really "How can I survive?" but more of "How can I get what I want?"

Good point. You remind me that Tolkien said fantasy is about desire. Both questions you mention reflect that.

Oh, and I will be getting back to your story after the other priorities that keep leaping into my schedule. Consider it a promise. Heck, why wouldn't I? It's too fun (anachronistic) and interesting to leave alone.

Nar:

but then what do we say about Star Wars?

Um, freedom from tyranny? Heh. That brings us full circle to the question of liberte, fraterneti, egalite. I think my answer was "yes". This confirms it for me.
