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

[(Anonymous)]

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.

There's some of that in Roger Leloup's Yoko Tsuno comics. In the very first volume even.

I found a book called Hollow Earth by David Standish at a used book store not long ago, and it's an interesting run-down of the history of hollow Earth as a belief and also in fiction, listing a lot of fantasy/scifi books that use the idea. There was a Tarzan novel and an Oz novel about going to an underground/hollow Earth world.
