The Fantasy Novelist's Exam The first six questions: 1. Does nothing happen in the first fifty pages? 2. Is your main character a young farmhand with mysterious parentage? 3. Is your main character the heir to the throne but doesn't know it? 4. Is your story about a young character who comes of age, gains great power, and defeats the supreme badguy? 5. Is your story about a quest for a magical artifact that will save the world? 6. How about one that will destroy it?

Is your novel thicker than a New York City phone book?

Very fun link. This proves to me why I will stay far far away from writing fantasy.

(besides the fact that I just couldn't come up with a decent plot line)

Thanks for sharing I loved this one: Does your novel contain a character whose sole purpose is to show up at random plot points and dispense information? I have seen that sooo many times in fatasies... The scary thing is I'm actually writing a fantasy, and my bad guy is the mother of one of my main characters...

*lol*
gosh I know how you feel - in the one fantasy story I ever wanted - and still want to finish writing - lol someday - whatever - it's all about a profecy and a chosen one *giggles* even though I like to think it has a little twist, but still... chosen one's bad!
*sigh*

but it is hilarious!

--------------------

Some say the world will end in fire / Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire / I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice / I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice / Is also great / And would suffice.

I don't think that is too bad. I mean, honestly, nothing is totally original anymore. george lucas copied star wars from the king arthur tale, history (Nazi Germany) and ancient greek philosphies - and people still love it. so? means the WHAT isn't as important as the HOW. I'd buy the most stupid clich� if it seemed plausible. so... don't let that discourage you -------------------- Corrupting the Incorruptible My new Equilibrium fic - (click here) Requiem for a Lonely Heart My Phantom fic - (click here) Must Reads: Airefeaiel, Ambrosia, Celandine, Han, Jaime Girl, Jewelz, Jim, Laila, Mena, Sammi and Skilos
