AAAhhhh fantasy.... I know that it takes a certain type of person to enjoy it, though I'm not at all sure what that type is. My father absolutely cannot comprehend fictional writing. He can explain to you most anything scientific or philisophical that you like, but tell him that a unicorn has a horn on it's forehead and he will give you a blank stare and say, "I don't get it... what's the point?"
I however cannot live without reading all kinds of fantasy. If I finish the first book in a series and I don't have the second, I usually freak out. I have always had an untameable imagination, and not long ago I discovered the channel for it. I'm now writing a fantasy novel, and I am determined to make it good. It really sucks now, but it gives me great joy to dream and think of names for places and wonder how things come together for my beloved protagonists.
Fantasy has become something very real to me, and I believe that you must let go of all your inhibitions to enjoy it fully. I like to act and sing too, and many of my friends do the very same things and love Tolkien.
And I'm sorry, but I'm a hopeless romantic and I find all the love stories positively beautiful...*sigh*
A rare breed, we fantasy lovers are...
