What is Fantasy?


Fantasy is the realm of things which, in all probability, don't really exist but are fun to imagine. This could be the thing itself which is a fantasy like mermaids or a whole civilization such as Atlantis or a complete universe where reality is changed in some major way as in the "Lord of the Rings" where magic is a controllable power and other intelligent races exist.

This forum allows for all types of stories, and reviews dealing with "Fantasy" except for the "erotic fantasy." Some may ask what the limit is so let me put it like this. My own personal boundaries here are stories that get more explicit than what we can find in the Bible.

Yes, that is a restriction to what can be posted. It requires imagination and a solid understanding of euphemisms to bring some elements of a story to life when the story turns towards romance but it is worth it.

Not convinced? That's okay, it's my board and that's the best way I know of to keep from violating Runboard's TOS so humor me and go along with it.

So... can you think of a "fantasy story" where magic exists but monsters don't?

Want to try collaborating to create a story? We would have to self-publish as a ebook but just think of the challenge to actually get something written that has your name on it.

Re:


Who says Monsters aren't real?

Collaborating on sounds fun but I'm not that good. I just write for fun. :)

Re: What is Fantasy?


What is "magic?" I read a definition such as this one:

1. The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.

The definition is circular, the stated idea of influencing events relies on undefined concepts and ideas.

My thought on magic is a controlled connection with a person's "life state." The ability of the individual to harmonize or disrupt their surroundings using the force of life, emotions, and stress to achieve a resolution to a perceived problem or threat.

The ability to use magic is related both sympathetically and harmonically.

Example #1: the charismatic leader who convinces a crowd their view is correct no matter what evidence exists to the contrary.

Example #2: the actor who can cause emotions to manifest themselves by the force of their acting ability.

Now think of how things would be if the terms we use had a basis it magic realism. I could be "burning with rage" and by projecting that "burning emotion" I could set things on fire. Perhaps I feel like "I want to disappear," and the magical energy would cause me to vanish!

I think this idea of magic is a decent foundation to build upon for my "fantasy stories."
