RE: The World I Want To Create -- A Description Of My Novel In Progress -- A World Long Sundered
Tolkien is my absolute favorite if he falls under this category. But I do have to catch up with some other authors from these genres.
Absolutely! I love Tolkien's work especially when we look at the time frame of when he wrote. People attribute Tolkien to being the founder of fantasy since there was so little of it written then. I believe that Tolkien was actually of friend of C.S. Lewis and they would banter ideas back and forth. Now, as fantasy and sci-fi writers, we have a lot more sources to draw inspiration from. Which makes it that much more amazing that Tolkien and similar authors created what they did. Their writings withstand the test of time.
