Do you mind if I add this one?<br /><br />It's a very good point that fantasy is not supposed to be "believable" in the sense it could occur in OUR world. It only needs to make some type of sense in ITS world. (Suspense of disbelief gets one so far, but readers often like to see some type of logic when it comes to invented magic.)<br /><br />I also really love Tolkien's idea that fantasy could help us see our own world, which we can become blinded to with familiarity, more clearly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471028991399505320.post-58853713202035070342012-12-07T12:23:26.665-08:002012-12-07T12:23:26.665-08:00Like Coleridge's willing suspension of disbeli...Like Coleridge's willing suspension of disbelief, only Tolkien and Lewis seem to find the responsibility of disbelief suspension on the author, and I agree. If an author is able to make a compelling world in a story, whether of the primary world or a fantasy world, this is the beginning of crafting a powerful tale.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107748184124761940noreply@blogger.com
