    Hi @devastate-lasting

    I have two brands of fantasy I guess?  At the least I have two fantasy worlds.
    One is more of an urban fantasy akin to Percy Jackson or Supernatural; all the myths are true and teams of Hunters go around killing monsters to protect humanity.  I do still take some liberties with the mythos of various cultures, or certain concepts.  The story focuses on a small(ish) community of various Hunters, magic users, or mythic beings in the fictional city/county of Monarch, Montana.

    My other world is the culmination of my ideas on magic and fantasy.  It has something of a d&d theme to it I guess, steeped in legends and mysteries and secrets.  There are many different countries and cultures that each have their own perspectives on the world and magic.  I like to use older or unusual words in the prose to give it layers of depth like there is something ancient beneath it, but not in the dry and textbook manner of Tolkien’s works.  I’ve adapted or come up with dozens of little traditions to make the world feel more lived in; the prose is full of little details and comments to add to the world.

    I don’t know if any of that made sense, but I hope it did.  If you’re curious about either world I’m happy to share about them.
