I feel like too often, especially in fantasy, everything has to climax with a big battle scene of good vs evil. And I get it, big battles are cool. But I like my stories to have a more peaceful message. My stories tend to climax with the main protagonist confronting the antagonist and uses reasoning to find a diplomatic solution to the problem at hand. Themes of Good vs. Evil are not in my stories. I don't believe that a person can be truely evil or truely good and not everything is black and white. I reflect my beliefs in my writing. I am a pacifist, and my main characters tend to be as well (although not all the time). While battles do happen in my stories, my main character is usually a civilian trying to escape or an onlooker watching from afar. They rarely combat, often choosing to use a voice and not a sword.
