Who are your favorite authors?

Rumiko Takahashi
J.K.Rowlings
Brain Froud
Peter S. Beagle
Don Rosa
Carl Barks
Lewis Carroll
Roald Dahl
Tolkien

I do a lot of just picking up fantasy books and reading them, and have no idea who half the authors are! I see a book and think "Oh, I like the faeries (unicorns, dragons, elves, wizards, whatever) on the cover, I guess I'll read it." I end up reading all kind of fantasy paperbacks based totally on the cover art, and than never stop to think about who the author was!

Only if the book stands out as one I really, really, really like a lot, do I remember the author's name. Like Harry Potter. I really, really, really liked Harry Potter, odd, because it's not the kind of fantasy I normally read.

and these are sci-fi, but I classify sci-fi as a type of fantasy ;)

Keith Laumer
James Blish
Orson Scott Card

Can I call Stephen King fantasy too? :)


How long have you been a fantasy fan?

I wrote my first fantasy (a short story) in 1978...
I'm old, been a fan a long time


Why are you a fantasy fan?

uhm... no idea... I never thought about it actually. It's not just books, cause I'm into all the fantasy movies too; my faves being:
Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
The Princess Bride
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I just like things that could never really happen. It's like being in a dream world, where life is (usually) better than the real world.

and besides, gives me loads of great guys to fall in love with! I got thing for pale skinned elf guys with long blond hair a cute pointy ears! :)

Where do you come up with ideas?

I answered that question here. It's a bit too long to copy and paste it all on this post, but basically from things that happen in my own life. Just ordinary every day things, inspire all sorts of imagination in me.
