We explore the ideas in Gail Carriger's book The Heroine's Journey as an alternative story structure to the more well known hero's journey, and how that works in different fiction formats We also look at Farah Mendelson's four different types of fantasy - portal quests, immersion, intrusion and liminal - and we also speculate on what the future of fantasy will be in the current dark times. Plus Nick declares that The Epic Is Dead. What do you think?
