Personally, I think the fantasy genre has been made into another cliche label like the  romance genre. To hold the attention of a reader anymore it seems that you must either 1. Write something so strangely new and exciting that the reader cannot help but be drawn into. Or 2. Write something cliche with a minimally different storyline to appeal to the readers that love the cliche and predictable.

For an author, (I only profess to be an <i>aspiring</i> author, not a completely proven one yet.) I would rather create something imaginative and new that can’t be dropped for something else. I’m sure most if not all of us have read a book that we couldn’t put down after beginning, that is my goal. The fantasy genre has been so over flooded with bad fiction like the StoryEmbers homepage says of all Christian fiction, I want to be one of the ones the same as you guys do that writes the new Invisible Man by HG Wells or Dracula by Bram Stoker. The modern fiction has been dumbed down and is no longer as intriguing as the old. I want to change that.

Its all about how deliberate you are.
