Is it really wrong of me that I have no desire at all to read any of the Harry Potter books? I liked the movies and all, but I am just not interested enough to want to read them.
Sure, I want to find out what happens, but when I do, I am sure it that my reaction will be 'Huh. Cool.' and I will move on with my day to day life. Though, I must say, I can probably figure it out without having to be told (![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
firefly_124 's ending comments kind of gave it away).
The one thing that Potter-mania does do for me is make me long for stories that I can get lost in. I may have to re-read Mysts or even the Witching Hour again. Or, maybe I will storm my brother's apartment and steal his LOTR movies again - LOL
Speaking of epic stories, I have decided that once my novel is finished, I am going to write one. I have some basic ideas for culture and a general situation for the main character, but other than that, I am drawing a bit of a blank.
WD says that it is really important for an epic tale to not be lost in the wonders of the fantasy world. It needs to focus on the story and the characters. Anyone else have any tips for what makes a really great epic story?
I'll make a C&P post later with some of the details that I have already worked out - I think that I have the spark of something that could be really incredible (my Aquarian idea maker is in overdrive! Now, I just need to get more follow through from somewhere!).
