But I find that a general audience gets the term high fantasy much better than they do trad fantasy or secondary world fantasy, so that's mostly what I use on the web where the audience is hopefully a broad one.Kelly McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399122960869198042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-20512890952812689132010-10-21T10:30:52.558-05:002010-10-21T10:30:52.558-05:00Congrats on the doneness, at least!Congrats on the doneness, at least!lydamorehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193266008038604325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-23127181315337277572010-10-21T10:17:13.126-05:002010-10-21T10:17:13.126-05:00It's the rarefied atmosphere at that altitude....It's the rarefied atmosphere at that altitude. That's why I'm sticking to "low" fantasy (to borrow Naomi's term for it) as opposed to doing the "high" stuff. :pDouglas Hulickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04221190213829107139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-59924803245752435622010-10-20T22:48:35.971-05:002010-10-20T22:48:35.971-05:00Sean, it's not really an unpleasant feeling, j...Sean, it's not really an unpleasant feeling, just kind of weird. Should be much better by Monday.<br /><br />X, not sure. I think some of it is simply that high fantasy is a hell of a lot harder on some levels than contemporary, at least if you're going to do it right. Not sure about the rest, though I suspect that some of it is just that with every book I expect more of myself and try to push myself a little further beyond what I've accomplished to date.Kelly McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399122960869198042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-9614216934562794812010-10-20T21:12:29.480-05:002010-10-20T21:12:29.480-05:00Interesting.
