I wonder if the guy who wrote this sold million copies of his epic novels. Very funny read.

Re: write your own epic fantasy novel
Personally, I have never gotten into the loser turned hero guy. I mean, I like my hero's to have some wrongness to them, but I like a real, true blue hero. One who isnt a wimp. I can't stand wimps.

Re: write your own epic fantasy novel
Well if I turn my gaze back to some of the books I read (and enjoyed!) as a child then it's pretty accurate.

Two series which leap to mind straight away are The Belgariad & the original Dragonlance trilogy

Re: write your own epic fantasy novel
That article is a riot! It just shows how cliched the genre of epic fantasy can be. This would be the perfect formula for doing the exact opposite if you wanted to be fresh and new.

Not bad, but I still prefer the Fantasy novelists exam. It'll be another useful resource when I get around to doing my parody novel.

Is it bad that I would probably enjoy that book?
