Question about Fantasy Writing
by fota on Sun Feb 10, 2008 4:22 pm
This is P.J. I have a question about Fantasy Stories. I've noticed with Lord of the Rings, there is a quest. To get rid of the Ring of Power. Yet, with Star Wars and Harry Potter, there doesn't seem to be a quest at all. And yet, those two stories are considered to be fantasy adventure despite that Star Wars is a sci-fi. I don't understand this with those two stories, if Fantasy stories are always suppossed to have a quest in them. Because I didn't see that with both Star Wars and Harry Potter films.
When George Lucas and J.K. Rowlings made up their own societies, George used the senate in his and J.K used the ministry of magic in her's. So what does a writer have to know in order to create their own societies and how much practice does a writer have to have in order to move his characters along very well in a story? I have a lot of questions and I was also hoping that I could write some short stories and post them here for a reply.
Please help with Kristen's request and my question. Please be as specific as possible in discussing the differences so I can understand everything on all of the details. Thank you.
