Which Gender Prefers Fantasy...Girls or Guys? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boys liking fantasy more than girls is a fantasy. I would wager that there are more girls who like fantasy than boys, and looking at some stock fantasy books in the book store, it is apparent that more girls are writing fantasy than boys as well. I took a look at the D&D novels at Barns and Nobles and was floored by how many female authors I came across. When I first saw it I remember thinking that the Last Unicorn was a chick flick (give me a break, I was like 14 when I first saw that movie). A friend of mine told me his D&D group was half and half across gender lines, and that the girls were often the better players.
