I love to read lots of different genres but one I always avoid is fantasy. I don't know why, I just feel that I have never been able to 'get it' or appreciate it. In fact, I usually roll my eyes whenever I hold a contest and see a fantasy entry!
So this contest is a bit different, I want to learn to love fantasy like so many of you do!
Your job is to submit a story and try and make me like it - love it would be even better
Under the heading of fantasy I am including stories such as:
Vampires
Werewolves
Mythological creatures of any kind
Magic/Sword & Sorcery
Any fantastical fantasy lands you have created
Comical fantasy
Dark/Horror/Supernatural fantasy
Romantic fantasy
Erotic fantasy
Superheroes
RULES
Prewrites allowed - fresh writes encouraged
Make sure you label anything with swearing or erotica as adult
Word count 500-2500
Make me love it - change my views on fantasy!

I think I'll try to write out a new story for this if I have the time...

Hi! I entered a synopsis, actually, so you're free to DQ it! I'll try and whip out something, though

I was gonna enter this one story, but you already gave it a trophy. Now I feel pretty stoked about that, since you don't really enjoy most fantasy.
I entered something else you haven't commented on.

Sorry, i entered Rising From Death but removed it. I'll see if i could enter something.
