Hi all,
This idea's been on my mind for some time, and I'd like to share it with you. Recently, I've really been into Lovecraft (Not fantasy), and I enjoy the way he sculpts his bizarre material. So, I thought: Why not merge this bizarre stuff with fantasy? I don't really know if this has been done before, but I have never came over such stuff.
It all starts with someone becoming mad and beginning to perceive the world in a twisted way. His hallucinations lead him to view nature, people and life in general in a totally different perspective. And so, he enters a new world where everything is different. The sun, the moon and every other natural aspect are alive and take part in the story. Oxymorons and ironies can be used too to increase the oddities i.e. Flying eyeballs, donkey men, cat heads with chicken bodies etc.... Moreover, the guy with the hallucinations becomes the protagonist in this world and has to do some great task. Magic in this world is Yood Sushai, and religion is basically the gods worshiping their created.
Well, it isn't exactly fantasy as it borders on science fiction, but many fantasy elements can be infused.
