(lol), and second, someone will always feel they've been mis-labeled. <BR/><BR/>So my remedy (probably more for me than others) is to use broad enough labels that at least point in a general direction the story is heading. But if someone self-describes his/her story as a certain genre, I'll try to go with the author's opinion as he/she probably knows that story better than me! :-)<BR/><BR/>But to answer your question, "sword and sorcery" in my mind, is high fantasy (medieval'ish, but not necessarily) with fighting, adventure, wizards, and quests. Does that fit your writing? What's your definition of S&S? :-)Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998346902027037420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17595589.post-81906783690483817352008-05-19T14:48:00.000-05:002008-05-19T14:48:00.000-05:00Thanks, Lyn.

I thought it was simply stories that utilized those features, but in another group, a writer much more widely read in fantasy than I had a different take on it. I've referred to my writing as sword-and-sorcery before, but now I'm wondering if that's a mislabel.<BR/><BR/>BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.com
