Except in Sword & Sorcery where Odd Tales of a Hero still find homes in magazines (wish I could write those), and there you need some powerful magic, preferably on the bad guys' site. *grin*<BR/><BR/>I admire writers who can create interesting worlds. I'm a lazy sod and filch existing ones even for Fantasy, and just add my own twist of a magic system, a bit like Jacqueline Carey. Because if I try to build a world, it'll look like Roman or Mediaeval Europe anyway. :)<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your Fantasy story collection.Gabriele Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-68477752862795447092008-04-15T22:57:00.000-04:002008-04-15T22:57:00.000-04:00I am just happy that you are putting these early s...I am just happy that you are putting these early short stories in collections for us to enjoy!Big Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866756029868111330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-42954875708964692892008-04-15T22:28:00.000-04:002008-04-15T22:28:00.000-04:00Wow, I feel like this is a huge treat!
