    @sarah-inkdragon, Ah! That’s so cool that your favorite thing is royalty. I really struggle with coming up with how government and such works. Most of the time I just don’t worry about it, but other times I feel like it could add to my story and be helpful to know. And the layouts of my castles… Yeah, I struggle with that too. 😛 So I’m like, “Where would the royal stable be?” Or “Where would you go to get to the royal dungeons?” Do you think you could offer any tips or advice? 🙂

    What I really enjoy about fantasy is how flexible the world can be. You can have two books in the same genre, with comepletely different world and characters.

    What I don’t like is the cliche plots, charaters, themes, etc. in Fantasy.

    @kari-karast, I wouldn’t say you’re 100% evil. I like it when MC’s face their worst nightmare too. But… does that mean… I’m 100% evil?

    And yes, I agree about the “happily ever after” ending. Bleh. I mean, you have this character that has just gone through a lot, and they’re not even left with a touch of sorrow or pain from what they’ve been through? It’s just not realistic. They can still be happy and changed, but it seems more realistic if it’s more of a bitter-sweet-happy. (I actually really love endings like that. I’m not sure why though.)

    @ericawordsmith, Ah, thank you for putting that into words. I think I’ve sensed bad worldview in books before, but I’ve never really thought about what it actually was. I’ll have to keep that in mind, because I agree that it can be dangerous.

    (@eden-anderson, Don’t tell anyone else, but I sort of agree with you about dragons. I prefer phoenixes or griffins. But you may not like those either.) Also, I’ve seen that Faramir is an ENFP too. (Yay for ENFPs!)
