Fountain of Knowledge

Personally I think it already exists--IMO Shardik is character-driven fantasy; I mean, sure, Adams is making a bigger point about slavery and religion etc. etc., but the trip that Kelderek takes is only incidental to the internal changes he makes.

I don't see why it wouldn't work---if people like to read character-drive stories, heck, why not a charactter-driven fantasy story? It's like saying, "would people read a character-driven story if it was set in Des Moines? Even if most of the audience lives in New York?" If it's a good story, setting should be incidental.

I've even got a venue for you--Beneath Ceaseless Skies. They say they want fantasy stories that use literary devices like unreliable narrators, etc.
