Is your novel thicker than a New York City phone book?


Very fun link. This proves to me why I will stay far far away from writing fantasy. ^_^ (besides the fact that I just couldn't come up with a decent plot line)

Awsome!!! Thanks for sharing comeon

I loved this one: Does your novel contain a character whose sole purpose is to show up at random plot points and dispense information?

I have seen that sooo many times in fatasies...

The scary thing is I'm actually writing a fantasy, and my bad guy is the mother of one of my main characters... :blush:

*lol*
gosh I know how you feel - in the one fantasy story I ever wanted - and still want to finish writing - lol someday - whatever - it's all about a profecy and a chosen one *giggles* even though I like to think it has a little twist, but still... chosen one's bad!
*sigh*

but it is hilarious!

well... I think you don't necessarily have to take it all too seriously.

I had to answer "yes" to nine out of 75 questions... I don't think that is too bad. I mean, honestly, nothing is totally original anymore. george lucas copied star wars from the king arthur tale, history (Nazi Germany) and ancient greek philosphies - and people still love it. so? means the WHAT isn't as important as the HOW. I'd buy the most stupid cliché if it seemed plausible.

so... don't let that discourage you ;)
