I almost spit my drink.I don't run across too many either, but it's sure a challenge not to run over them.
I just, like 20 minutes ago, joined a group called 20 books to 50k. We'll see if the genial streak continues. lol

I have a facebook but it is of no use to me. I find it is good place to find all the off putting things your online friends might say about politics, which mostly I find unpersuasive. I find the lack of being able adopt the filters that others are looking through curious and disappointing. The group function of facebook has never appeared as clean to me is a regular forum group. So... so far at least, its not for me.

Anyway... facebook aside and fantasy back on, how does one write fantasy?

One writes fantasy by starting at the beginning, muddling along for a bit until arriving at the end.
Writing fantasy *well* is left as an exercise for the student.

Add swords.
And dragons. It's not a proper tale without dragons.

Magic is almost required for fantasy.

Still another reason to prefer forums over social media: no placards.
I am very much at the end of my patience with that one. It does not make the point more persuasive. Yes, it does get your post noticed, but it's becoming like one of those loud parties where everyone keeps having to shout ever more loudly just to make themselves heard.

Social media is all about gaining followers and having the instant satisfaction of people acknowledging your comments seconds after posting. Doesn't matter what is talked about as long as it gets noticed. Think I can make a magic based social media for a fantasy story and see how bad it gets. Now to see if the gods have access to this new medium.
