What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[(Anonymous)]

Enough of those generic european forests.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[(Anonymous)]

Deserts and underwater caves.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[(Anonymous)]

Definitely more Asian inspired settings, though I'm up for any non-European culture.

+ one million

[(Anonymous)]

this is all I want in life

I just picked up Black Tides of Heaven and it's pretty good.

Try Wheel of the Infinite, by Martha Wells, which is Cambodia-esque, and fun.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

Civilizations in the air

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[(Anonymous)]

Things that are based more on relatively recent historical/social settings. So more stuff drawing from the 18th century and forwards, really.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Broken Time Blues is a nice anthology. And then there's the Craft Sequence.

Equatorial jungle

Plains/prairie/steppe

During an ice age

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[philstar22]

More based on places besides Europe- Latin America, Africa, Asia, don't care. I want it all.

Just more fantasy with well thought out worlds that don't feel like a copy but are unique and feel like a fully fleshed out world. I'm fine with the traditional settings if an author can make it interesting.

Fantasy/scifi crossovers are great.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[kaijinscendre]

Urban or space. Is space fantasy a thing?

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[morieris]

I'd say so. I mean, there's stuff like Star Wars, and even though it seems kind of basic, I'd love to read some more shit about an ecumenopolis city-planet.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[ill_omened]

Yes.

You've got the hard/soft sci-fi divide, but there's definitely something further then that which is pretty much fantasy with spaceships. Star Wars and everything in that vogue where you could change the setting to fantasy earth and it would hardly make any real impact on the story.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Saga is good, if a bit long.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[ill_omened]

Pretty much anything.

There was an alright anime a few years ago that was set in an Aztec esque period and that really jumped out to me as unique and gave the whole thing an interesting vibe.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[feotakahari]

I like an early 1900s feel, a bit more modern than steampunk.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought of another one - steampunk that's actually well done with substance as well as style.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[mimi_sardinia]

I happen to like generic European forests - maybe it's because it's exotic for my Aussie tastes - but for a bit of variation on the theme, snow-capped mountains (not much of them in Australia either, and those that are, are seasonal), sub-arctic and arctic regions, temperate and sub-arctic island communities, and giant floating rocks like the ones in Avatar.

Maybe the generic European forest can be traded with generic Asian or North American forests. Pines and maple trees would be nice.

A semi-specific thing I realised I want more of, but things like the movie version of Howl's Moving Castle, that sort of hybrid sunshiney alternate 1900s sort of vibe. You know, cities and streetcars and court wizards, warships and fire demons and bakeries and gossip. Things that feel like there is a whole functioning planet out there, accessible by rail lines and magic portals and airships, so you can travel around and have a bit of everything.

Also, tundra. I remember reading a book as a kid, I can't for the life of me remember what it was, but it was about a girl travelling to school by train across the tundra, and I think there was something about it, about the vast empty spaces, the snow, the long nights and long days. Magic in the silence.

Huge caverns and hollow worlds. Journey to the Centre of the Earth was another early read, and the idea of vast spaces and seas and civilisations underground really caught me. Not dwarves, in a lot of fantasy dwarves seem to be ... almost a dying race? Underground is for dead things in a lot of fantasy, I think. There could be more. Travelling down into darkness to find wonders. Crawling things. Lightless things. Bioluminescence. Artificial suns. Vertical civilisations. Things dreaming in the dark. A different view on time.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Weird West.
Jazz Age and fantasy Dieselpunk.
Non-"Historical" worldbuilding.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[soldatsasha]

Dieselpunk/weird 90s cyberpunk stuff. (Like FF7, The Matrix, City of Lost Children, etc.)

Also, I want to see more Asian stuff that isn't just "generic fantasy Japan/China". Like, I want to see fantasy Russian Far East, fantasy Manchuria, fantasy Kazakhstan or Mongolia, fantasy India, gritty modern fantasy inner China, fantasy Thailand or Myanmar or Laos, fantasy Georgia or Turkey.

I want more stuff to explore the weird mix of eastern and western cultures, more stories about indigenous people that aren't focused on America, more stories that explore how different religions and cultures view things, etc.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[cakemage]

Wild West steampunk.
Urban fantasy set in any African country, but preferably Kenya (what can I say? I still have fond memories of living there as a wee one). Bonus points if it involves the Masai.

Re: What kind of fantasy settings do you want to see more of?

[greghousesgf]

I want to see fantasy based on American Indian mythology.

North Africa, the Middle East - I just love the aesthetic of traditional Islamic architecture so much, and I'd love to see mosaic'd domes and tessellating pavements winding through water gardens about 12,000 times more than "Probably Somewhere In Ireland Version 99.9"
