Fountain of Knowledge

Look, everyone - I have an actual genre this week.

But it's never that straighforward. This time I thought we'd discuss fantasy.

Like...what are the sub-genre's, who should be credited with it's origination, is JRR Tolkein really all that, did the movies ruin Lord of the Rings, is anything with fantastic elements considered fantasy, where does urban fantasy fall into all of this, is there such a thing as suburban and rural fantasy...

and of course, anything else you want to say on the subject
