Author has written 4 stories for Essay, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy. Name: Winterfox Age: N/A Profession: Nitpick Bot My LiveJournal: contains some random stuff, including rants about writing and fanfic, snarkage of books I find so godawful as to be hilarious, and so on and so forth. Some fantasy tests by yours cynically. They are not the objective be-all-and-end-all, and obviously are subject to my personal preferrences and experience with the fantasy genre. The Hero's Fantasy Cliché Meter The Villain's Fantasy Cliché Meter Note: neither essay archived here is ever quite finished. I update when I feel ranty, have banged my paws against the keyboard, and judge the subsequent result sufficiently articulate. | |||||||||
