: I think that fantasy is on the level with other genres. It usually deals more with the "What if?" than other genres, though, which is why I read it. s'why it's called speculative fiction. Fantasy engages my imagination. : I'd suggest that fantasy authors don't overdo the genre any more than other genre authors do. Just like any other, fantasy has superb authors and it has terrible authors. One just has to find the best ones. : -Olorin Okay, so I used the wrong word... I think that most fantacy novels are pointless, and made for the 'young reader'. Tolkein's work being fictional, but based on lore of this earth may easily be called mythology.
