the blockbuster "Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, and now, author Philip Pullman's novels have been busy after the imagination, be redusting their manuscripts in the hope that they are detected, the next thing by. Theoretically, should write fantasy fiction. As a writer you have to do some 'research objective, the members of your target audience are already on suspension of disbelief that the predisposition requires the reader to your property line is not hampered by the limitations the real world and your characters do not even have to be a man.
Fantasy fiction work by all accounts should have a huge volume and a large number of writers and still is the fact That there is still a niche product that always write the publishing point that is neither easy, nor can it ever been written. This also means that the current success of Tolkien, Pullman and Rowlin Despite fantasy> Fiction is still science fiction are as 's, not to mention mainstream fiction' s step-child.
Was looking for answers to these questions, I said Hunt Thoma email in what is probably one of the rarest trade in fantasy fiction. Those who are familiar with Thomas Hunt knows who wrote the white and the shadows, not to do media interviews. He is never short of answers when it comes about, in writing or in conversation, fictionthe publishing industry and the nature of their development, which is how he and I have to go first.
fantasy fiction, Hunt says, is written on more mythical universes. His appeal goes back to fairy tales and Jungian archetypes in every culture and every person. Since the commission is at an unconscious level and most important, it is extremely difficult to write fantasy novels that reaffirms what we find familiar and reassuringFairy tales, yet new ground in a way that is fresh, without disturbing.
"It 's a bit like sex," Hunt said Thoma rather disingenuous, "to work for them, there are a certain family structure in the sense that we know about where we go and what to expect on the road must exist. E' really does not matter if the payment is exactly what we expected, or something that completely surprised or even disappointed us. It 'important that the tropicsThe work so as to obtain two things: 1 You are preparing, mentally and psychologically, the journey 2 They make us through the process of expectation and unconscious mental and psychological preparation, with all my heart, participants in society. Then the fantasy novel is a masterpiece of exploring all of the author and the reader was born. "
Thomas Hunt makes it seem easy because he is an expert and knows the genre inside out. ItsNovel, The Shadow, steps for most of the area. In his analysis of literature, culture and archetypes of Jung series of four archetypes:
The self regulation of the center of the psyche and facilitator of detection. The shadow, the opposite image ego, often with identifying characteristics are not the ego, but still
The soul, the feminine image in the human psyche
The animus, the male image in the psyche of a woman
Although the number ofArchetypes is limitless, there are some particularly notable, recurring archetypal images that come in over and over again in literature, fairy tales, epic poems, parables, short stories, novels and old:
The Syzygy
The child
The Hero
The Great Mother
The wise old man
The Trickster or Ape
The Puer Aeternus (Latin for "eternal boy")
The Cosmic Man
The artist-scientist
These archetypes are consistent with this it is evident that theremuch more than mere acceptance of the theory. authors of fantasy fiction that makes the awareness of a story without at least one of the ways in which these archetypes of the imagination of the reader and the reader's expectations are at work to fail.
"Fantasy fiction has much in common with fairy tales," said Thomas Hunt, "we have a moral and a message will be clear." Therefore, I believe, as sex is a taboo subject in this genus. "There arevery little written fantasy fiction, the real sex shows in little more than a hint, "says Hunt," this is a kind of conventions that means that, depending on how you look, it's time to live the holy cow has never been in question, or prick the bubble and see what. "
In The Shade Thomas Hunt decided to make this presentation sex between adults in a way that makes history and makes it feel almost claustrophobicinhuman protagonists seem suddenly very vulnerable and very human.
It is sufficient to raise a fantasy novel from the crowd?
"Absolutely not!" Thomas Hunt said, "if this writing, you can even begin to believe that the change of font is sufficient to give a badly written book, make-good approach. When I wrote the Shade I had to make a conscious decision of whether to join the accepted norm of sexuality in fantasy fiction or true,History. I chose the latter, aware that I have to break with convention, but in reality I mean, spend the best story possible. "
Sun Fantasy fiction writing requires greater awareness of the tropics generally, the strength necessary for watching and knowing when to stay faithful to the history of the Convention are different. It takes a story that draws the arcane archetypes of our psyche and also requires people who are reflected in thisArchetypes. Combine all these elements so that they penetrate and what you end up with is a story that is powerful, memorable and fun to read.
