So I haven't read fantasy in a while. It's been at least six to seven months since I last picked up a fantasy book, and now that I'm getting back into it, I'd like to take a look at some good examples of Dark Fantasy. It's something that really intrigues me, and I'd love to write it myself someday.

Hey there everyone. I was part of the Mythic Scribes community waaaay back when it was still a relatively small and burgeoning little pocket of fantasy goodness. I think it had less than 100 members! And I, obviously, fell off the wagon for a long while. Life has been busy as of late. I sort...

Maybe it isn't the story that is your problem, but perhaps the main character. You say you don't like your main character, which might lead to the entire story growing weaker because of it. If you are having more fun with a certain character, perhaps you should find some method of shifting the...

I just wanted to ask it and get everyone's opinion on the topic. I myself roleplay on an almost daily basis in the video game world, primarily on World of Warcraft or Guild Wars. I find it to be an interesting and intriguing method of expressing myself and showcasing my writing, especially...

I get this sort of mood with my writing too, don't worry. The only reason I get it however is usually because I think of something else that I would like to write about, and instead of simply continuing on with the story I was developing before and storing the idea away for another day, I scrap...

I really cannot wait for this game to be released. The game itself looks stunning, and the soundtrack itself is absolutely amazing. The music in itself makes me want to buy the game right now, just so I can enjoy the orchestral score. I've been a fan of the Elder Scrolls series ever since...

I know they are, believe me. My social life ends when Old Republic is finally launched. And yes, I know that Lord of the Rings Online is available, but I meant something akin to Dragon Age or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in that it isn't online, but it has all the qualities of a...

Voilà! Here are some links to video that you might be interested in watching. The official trailer: YouTube - Lord of the Rings: War in the North Trailer Development video: YouTube - Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Untold Story Video Brutal Combat: YouTube - Lord of the Rings...

I happily wore my Jedi robes to school yesterday.

It was mentioned by someone in the NaNoWriMo forums. I was curious enough to click on the link and travel here. I forget what I was googling at the time--I think something about creating a fantasy world--and then it linked to NaNoWriMo, which linked to here!

I asked myself this question when I was outlining for the novel I plan on writing in the June Novel Writing Month, and to be honest, I think it's a worthy topic of discussion for this forum. I only wondered about this subject because I'm intrigued by the idea of a darker ending to my novel and...

This. After I completed my 50,000-word novel in November, I just couldn't seem to put the pen to paper as well without the presence of a deadline. Sometimes I would just tell myself that I wanted to write a page before the end of the class period, but it didn't always work. I'm going to try...

I don't know whether or not people would consider this an art, but parkour is something that I love writing about in my stories. If you don't know what parkour is, try typing it into YouTube or Google. If you've played games like Assassin's Creed or Mirror's Edge, that's parkour. Aside from...

Actually, now that I think about it, there always was that little Facebook icon near our login at the top of the forums...

Interesting, interesting. This probably means that in fifty or maybe even one-hundred years, they'll start becoming pricy relics of the olden days.
