Re: Fantasy fiction

[(Anonymous)]

As a lifelong reader of fantasy fiction - a lot of it is the appeal to the lowest common denominator that bugs me. The power fantasies for adolescent boys, the unexamined personal biases of the writers, the pendulum swing between grimdark and high fantasy (like some shitty blend of Tolkien and WoW), the subsitution of worldbuilding for actual storytelling... and even the worldbuilding can be critiqued because so often it's just shallow and samey.

Fantasy as a genre has the potential to do so much more than it's doing right now. Anything can happen! Anything at all! That's what bugs me. I mean, there's nothing wrong with fun and light fantasy novels with dragons and magic swords. But that doesn't mean it has to be STUPID, you know what I mean? And neither does it have to be overly edgy or preachy (which is what a lot of the grimdark stuff does.)

(Also - being a writer and going to medical school isn't an either-or game.)

Oh my god THIS! I won't even read fantasy now unless recc'd or obvious it avoids a lot of this.
