After all if it is a fantasy piece, it must be fiction. Now her stories that are fiction without the paranormal aspects are well developed and believable. It is just when reading something that is considered sci-fi or paranormal(vampires, mermaids, etc.), we as readers need to understand that it is not reality. It never will be reality. As far as I know there are no mermaids, aliens are not abducting people, and vampires are make believe-so while the main story line is going to be believable and realistic, the reader needs to remember that there are going to be all sorts of elements added to enhance the story line but they will not necessarily be things that you know will happen in real life. A vampire story may have chapters of material that is very realistic but feeding on victims, changing them to vampires, burning up when in the sun, etc. are all fantasy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474806843032242081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325450497513303272.post-85023194204740892112012-08-02T07:13:04.211-07:002012-08-02T07:13:04.211-07:00Hm...I personally abide by the realistic principle...Hm...I personally abide by the realistic principle. I like my fantasy fantastic and my realistic fiction realistic. :) Mainly because I think that some stories are written as realistic fiction but then the writer gets lazy. It's so much easier to put in a detail or characteristic or sequence of events that helps out the author, rather than something that is true to the characters and true to the sequence of events. Even fantasy needs to make sense according to its own rules and terms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
