	I don't actually think that the fantasy market would have ''crashed'', as such. People would still want that particular kind of escapism, with fantastic worlds that have different rules. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AirportFantasy Airport fantasy]] would survive in one form or another, for instance. I do think things would have shifted, maybe travelogues would resurge. There would always be a market for fantasy, even if many of the authors would have shifted to fiction. Not a lot of other genres have the usual high fantasy combo of really epic scale, clear good against equally clear evil, prophecies, fantasy archetypes, a different world which is unlike our own. Space opera would endure too, I'd think, though Star Wars itself wouldn't. But hey, speculation. shrug --[[User:Joysweeper\|Joysweeper]] 13:54, 29 December 2008 (EST)		I don't actually think that the fantasy market would have ''crashed'', as such.

New page

Cool. I'm guessing you took out the hooves to streamline the story? ... I laughed a few times. Been on the Internet too long, I guess, since anguish is funny. I liked that they didn't get together at the end, which is open enough that for all we-the-readers know they hooked up slowly, found out they were cousins, became really good friends, or let it slide.

Now for some teal dear.
