On fantasy that rewards, and fantasy that fails...
LJ writer ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
superversive has written a series of essays about the roots of current epic fantasy, discussing JRRT and his roots and inspiration, as well as what was wrong with some other famous (or infamous) work, what The Simarillion expansion that Christopher Tolkien has written might be like, and so on.
Here's the latest essay: http://superversive.livejournal.com/47255.html?view=349079#t349079
The previous four are all worth reading. When Superversive finishes his own work, I'll be interested in what develops. Thanks tosartorius for posting the link and devouring an hour of my time!
