Animal fiction, much? I'm planning a story with those oh so popular beasts:
wolves. Plus a little "magic" which is really the characters fooling around.
It's all good.

I, Fantasy. :3

Fantasy and Sci-fi have been my deepest loves since I was... eight. Sci-fi that is. Fantasy appeared at ten in the guise of the fellowship of the ring.
And then at 12 Zelazny, Moorcock and Howard became very close friends.
I tend to rant and gibber about fantasy, what's good, what's bad, what's quality and what's soap opera, but in the end - all fantasy is welcome. The more the better. With and without elves.

I have always loved fantasy, and science fiction to a lesser extent (though I absolutely adore steampunk). I didn't really start reading until I was about eight and discovered the genre, so it's always sort of stuck with me. As such, most of my own work ends up being fantasy set in a vaguely steampunkish society. Usually my worlds are also complete crapsacks because it's completely legal to take out my sadistic urges on fictional characters. If I'm feeling really malicious I'll shoot for dystopian.

Not really a high fantasy guy but I do love gritty, dark fantasy

That's the same with me, I love the Hunger Games and that style of fantasy. I love A Great and Terrible Beauty and The Mortal Instruments as well!

I wrote a novella of the fantasy kind once, about far off lands, princes, trolls and dragons and such.

My current writing project is a mixture of Victorian and urban fantasy, about immortality and guardians etc.

I'm more of a sci-fi person myself, though my Nanowrimo had some mystical elements to it. I like reading urban fantasy especially, but I seem to fail at writing it.

I have an idea for a fantasy novel, but I really need to read more fantasy to get "in the mood" to write it.

Fantasy is the best!
