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

Not like this contributes to the subject at hand, but while at my job of babysitting, the child was watching a fantasy called 'the Dark Crystal' they had on video. It is an amazing fantasy unlike any other I have ever seen before.

It dosen't have the traditonal big bad evil guy with elfs and some humans and some thrown in dwarfs like some other fantasy's. Every single race hasn't been used before, clearly created totally from the writer. No elfs, no dwarfs, no nothing used before. 100% original.

I don't know why I had to post this, but I loved the movie so much, I just wanted to see who else had seen it or liked it. It might even be (in my opinion) even more original than Lord of the Rings, though Lord of the Rings is deffinantly the best!
