Are You Writing Serious Fantasy?

[Lila Bramble]

In my lighter tales the emotions and characterestics I have discussed in earlier posts are used, but in my more dramatic stories there is war with torn feeling and feelings of abandonment, cruelty, weariness, fear, and many more 'fun' elements to work with.

One of my favourite ideas is to make a devestating and bloody war between two rival races, but in the middle is a cross-race (man/elf, meejah/kala, vammpire/man, ect...) romance that makes things a whole lot harder, espically them. I'm trying to pick between a few different groups of characters to pair that idea with, but its hard because I love all my character! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I also plan to write a story on a 'vilaniess,' one thought to be cruel but has her own emotional reasons for her actions, but now I ahve to figure out what they are! I have drawn two outlines for her, either a futurestic modern-fantasy vampire or a pre-modern vampire. Hmm...I'd say pre-modern because it would be fun sicne there are no guns and other things to weaken her. And its fun to have a rampaging femal vampire cauign destruction until an assasign mission to kill her leads to an unexpected romance...

Argh! I gotta stop that 'forbidden romance' stuff in my stories!!!
