For your cliche-free reading pleasure
Whew! I passed the Fantasy Novelist's Exam, answering "No" to all 75 questions, which are meant to ferret out fantasy cliches such as:- Is your main character a young farmhand with mysterious parentage?
- Do any of your female characters exist solely to be captured and rescued?
- Did you draw a map for your novel which includes places named things like "The Blasted Lands" or "The Forest of Fear" or "The Desert of Desolation" or absolutely anything "of Doom"?
- Do you see nothing wrong with having two characters from the same small isolated village being named "Tim Umber" and "Belthusalanthalus al'Grinsok"?
- Is this the first book in a planned trilogy?
