You know, I'm not really much into reading Epic Fantasy any more these days -- I read it so much as a kid that I practically glutted on the stuff *g* -- but these days, I'm a lot more fond of urban fantasy. Stories where our world blends with the supernatural, I am so there I was reading it yesterday. *g*

(Fairytales, obviously, don't count here. Fairytales are awesome no matter what they are.)

But that doesn't stop a piece of fairly epic "high fantasy" music from totally getting to me, to the point where I can see the white castles and dramatic swordfights between masked men and women in black robes and bird-masks and the sky on fire.

Guys, guys, I love the music I'm listening to right now. o/ (A piece by Immediate Music called "Electric Romeo.") It makes me want to write things. LUNCHBREAK CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH. \o/

P.S. Senpai! I watched the first two episodes of Storm Hawks last night. :Db I WILL BE WATCHING MORE, I THINK /o/

My brother watches Storm Hawks every morning here! I think, anyways. XD It looks pretty spunk & awesome, from snippets I manage to catch before heading out to school. I haven't watched a single episode fully yet, aha.

Re: fantasy genre-- YOUTH DENIES ME OF JOYS. ALAS, I FIGHT. D: I've never really... touched this hood of imaginary before, literary-wise, despite being ridiculously infatuated with the genre-type grâce à la Japonaise. But since quasi-exampunks are now over, I decided it's time to feed this malnourished innerchild. It's kind of going awkwardly, but I'm trying to say the least. |Db (ON THIS NOTE: have you heard of the manga Yami no Kodou? It sort of pinged back when you mentioned supernatural coalesced with some form of ah, reality.)

(Also, hey! This is versine, on her new journal. XD)

Heh, I'm the opposite. I read a lot of urban fantasy while in high school, so right now I'm going through an epic fantasy phase. Though that's dwindling down now.

Got any recommendations? *in desperate need of new fantasy books*

I'm...pretty much the same on the fantasy thing!

Then Scott Lynch wrote The Gentleman Bastard Sequence and I was SUNK. Though probably, you could argue that those series of books has less to do with magic than it has to do with PURE AWESOME, PLOT AND CHARACTER.

o/ WATCH MORE STORM HAWKS.

Storm Hawks! \o/ Watch Finn be a consistent ball of adolescent self-centered FAIL, yet still manage to be awesome in spite of (because of?) this! Watch Junko be the sweetest and most considerate heavyweight juggernaut in the history of ever! Watch Stork prove once and for all that you don't have to be a bishie to be the fandom woobie! Watch Radarr take the title of "token animal sidekick" to a whole new level of badassery! Watch Piper and Aerrow hit inte_grit_y's OTP kinks sixteen ways from Sunday with their simple understated working partnership! Watch Master Cyclonis be the most frighteningly capable evil overlord since Azula from Avatar! Watch the Dark Ace combine the ever-thwarted cartoon villain archetype with occasional moments of complexity to great effect!

Basically, yes, WATCH MOAR! XP
