Talk:List of high fantasy fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Number of items on this list

What is the Harry Potter series doing on this list? It's not even high fantasy!

The point of splitting off the list was to allow it to grow. Removing items because they are not, in fact, high fantasy would make sense, but removing them because you think the list should be shorter is hard to justify, and should be justified, if at all possible, here.

I don't think it should be allowed to grow. IMO 20 exemplers are enough. I think that only the most famous and best selling exemples should be listed. Otherwise, there are million of High fantasy books up there. I don't think that we should make an "exception" for every god damned piece of shit, that is delivered to the market.

I know this would require a major edit, but would the list not better serve, listed by title rather than author. If the purpose of the list is to become increasingly expansive, and thereby illustrative of the shape of the genre, then listing by title would easier provide an interesting and informative overview of the similarities between chosen names. Also, it would make for easier reading. Furthermore, the title of the article is List of High fantasy fiction, and a List of fantasy authors' already exists elsewhere.194.217.231.252 11:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC) I'm kind of dissapointed with this page. A lot of these works are more science fiction than High Fantasy like the 'Wheel of Time' series.I guess, from other various articles that no one has come up with a way to categorize most of these. Maybe it could become someone's hobby.(just a joke!)Anyway, I've got this craving for a good High Fantasy book, along the lines of the classic 'Lord of The Rings', but I've a sneaking suspicion that it doesn't exist. Do any of you know of GOOD High Fantasy that's not on this list? I'd appreciate your feedback and comments! Thanx! 70.135.56.7 (talk) 17:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC) Theodore from California
