Even then, though, you would be relating back to the academic world. This is the same problem that our good friend Lush caught me on, when I was arguing for the same thing as you. Who would care...

Not confusing at all, Lalaith. I fail to understand you only on one point. If the people of the academic world judge works to be or not to be of a specific genre, then how should we plan to get...

Very good, Saucepan, I've always thought of Asimov's books as classics in the Sci-Fi genre (my English teacher apparently thinks so too, as she makes constant refrences on my papers). The genre...

Nice link, Turambar. Apparently I've read more fantasy than I thought. I've read five books on the list, and six more related to those. (1,3,10,26,41)

That's nice that your teacher was familiar...

Carlas, your argument is completely logical. I can understand how you can think that. However, perhaps the general idea of "Fantasy", and novels classified as fantastical, have changed over the...

I understand now, Lush. Sorry for that outburst, and you will momentarily be removed from my block list (don't quite remember when that happened). It just set me off: the suttle mockery in what you...

Great posts, Lyta_Underhill, and Aragornreborn. Both of you bring up good points. Tolkien is different, but other fantasy is also different.

Lush, thanks for posting, it gave me a good...

Now, good Sandman, I must disagree. If you use an author as your template, that does not in any way mean that you will use the same writing style as them, or even (in Tolkien's case) work outside...

In reality, I've only read books by two fantasy authors: Tolkien (obviously) and the Miller Brothers (creators of the Myst computer game series).

Both involve in depth, complex solutions to...
