World enough, and time.<\/p>\n
Andrew Marvell, To His Coy Mistress<\/em><\/p>\n Just realized what an apt summary of fantasy this is. \u00a0Fantasy creates new world, one which be enough to engage the reader and engage the reader over time. \u00a0Just the author invests a lot of time in the development of a world and narratives set within that world, a reader who bothers to learn the intricacies of this alternative world typically wants more than one story, often many more than one story, set there.<\/p>\n It becomes a kind of contract between writer and reader. \u00a0I will spend my time imagining this world and what goes on it and, if you like it enough to learn it, then I agree to write more. \u00a0It can have a deadening effect, of course, always working in one fictional space, but so far, in the Tailte mythos, I’ve found it liberating and energizing. \u00a0It grows bigger as I write, not smaller. \u00a0In fact, I have to find ways to limit it so I can tell bounded stories.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Planting Moon World enough, and time.
