All right, I don't mean the ones about the girl in the next row, I mean the genre. A lot of agents seem to be very stern in specifying 'no fantasy'. This disheartened me a little as fantasy happens to be what I like writing, however, I noticed Christopher Little is among these. And I would have thought that Harry Potter fell, broadly, into a fantasy genre.
What makes fantasy, then? A quest, a dragon, mountains and armies? Or wizards and goblins sat on toad stools, driving around in little yellow cars?
First of all, you have a nice sense of humor, man. That's a good point for a fantasy writer.
Well. I'm also a fantasy writer, if you think I could be trustful... read the following points:
*Fantasy, is bringing a world that just exists into your head to the paper.
* Do not be restricted to dragons and armies ... create your own creatures and purposes
* I guess the best type of fantasy are Dystopias, cause they're original anyway (read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystopia )
*Trust your work. Faith on it, man! When we talk about Fantasy be prepared to feel like quitting many times. But get over it, and keep on writing your project.
Hope I could help you. Good lucky.
