Welcome to my Editorials, proof that
however quiet people think I am, in time they will
wish I would just shut up!
Fantasy (Science II)
"Unfortunately Fantasy is so often turned to as a way to fix bad writing of any type that it has an even worse reputation than Science Fiction."
Eric Bailey
If you did not read the Editorial "Science" go back and read it first!
To repeat, I do like Fantasy - if it is done properly. Bad writers use Fantasy to try and fix the problems they create for themselves.
My favorite Hard Science Fiction writer is Larry Niven. He also writes Fantasy of various types. He has said that in writing Fantasy it is even more important to set rules for the world you are creating and stick to them than it is in other genres.
