He did such a good job with his little fantasy book -- maybe a few of you have heard of it -- that people have been too scared to do anything different since. No Hispanic Kings in Lord of the Rings? That must mean there are NO HISPANIC KINGS IN ANY FANTASY WORLD EVER. JUST BECAUSE.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314617048592538691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-40358112564367247582011-04-28T14:42:21.555-06:002011-04-28T14:42:21.555-06:00The point you have on racism in fantasy is very in...The point you have on racism in fantasy is very interesting to me. When I write, I tend to write what I know, and sadly I am a pretty whitewashed individual. I have tried to incorporate multiple races into my recent works, but I always feel a bit odd because I don't want to typecast a race and upset people unduly.CBame13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03840123235372295715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-92086400342980625912011-04-28T13:17:35.029-06:002011-04-28T13:17:35.029-06:00You have to admit, a handful of us are getting to ...You have to admit, a handful of us are getting to be better than before when it comes to diversity. A lot of us were scared of differences but I have been more simpathetic with them than angry. It was not so much the fault of one individual. Parents did that to a lot of us. That is why a lot of young people want an open minded person for a spouse even if it took forever for them to find one.MunirGhiasuddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232362559666320301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-31753056403930955642011-04-28T11:23:28.315-06:002011-04-28T11:23:28.315-06:00Steph: Oh my.

They have basically three shows and they just copy them over and over again to fill out the schedule. Look at all the sequels, prequels, reboots, etc. for movies. No one really wants original ideas because that's risky. Better to just stick with what works.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-7536922062851037872011-04-28T07:30:29.825-06:002011-04-28T07:30:29.825-06:00Yeah, I'm thinking of a few books I've rea...Yeah, I'm thinking of a few books I've read over the years fit some of these descriptions.<br /><br />I've also heard to make sure your world fits neatly on a square map and has every sort of terrain and climate known to exist in same small square.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-33616530136622363272011-04-28T07:30:19.888-06:002011-04-28T07:30:19.888-06:00Actually #3 and 4 are probably still true.
