High Fantasy

misia is asking people to explain why they like High Fantasy. papersky has answered beautifully (and I still say that Papersky gets more out of computer games than any other ten people combined). I answered part of what Misia's asking here and here, but the big question still remains.

I have a fairly confrontational and highly critical relationship with High Fantasy (there's a very good reason my recommendations for reading were extremely limited, and I am biting my tongue very hard to keep from posting my opinions of other people's recommendations). What in the name of God's garters am I doing writing it?

( Short answer: Fucked if I know. )
