After the film, the success of "Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, and now is the Philip Pullman fantasy novel authors are busy redusting their manuscripts in the hope that the next thing will be discovered. Theoretically, Fantasy fiction Should be easy to write. As an author, you have little to do research in fact, members of your target audience are already on suspension of disbelief that predisposed Reader plot is not hampered by restrictions of 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 publication 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 or science asFiction 's>, let alone mainstream fiction' s step-child.
He was looking for answers to these questions, I said Hunt Thoma e-mail in what is probably one of the rarest trade in fantasy fiction. Those familiar with Thomas Hunt knows who wrote the shadows and white, not do media interviews. He is never short of answers when it comes, whether written or fiction to talk about the publishing industry and how it developsAs 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 fiction, but says that things that are familiar and comforting stories and breaking new ground in a way that is fresh, withoutdisturbing.
"It 's a bit like sex," Hunt said Thoma rather disingenuous, "to work for them, there is a certain family structure in the sense that we know roughly where we go and what to expect on the road must exist. And '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 tropics are working in order to achieve two things: 1 Prepare our mental 2 and psychologically before they make us travel through the process of expectation and unconscious mental and psychological preparation, with all my heart, participants in society. Then the fantasy novel, a joint expedition between the author and the reader, and a masterpiece was born. "
Thomas Hunt makes it seem easy because he is an expert and knows the genre inside out. His novel, The Shadow, steps for most of the area. In his analysis of'Literature, culture and archetypes of Jung archetypes to create four main areas:
The self regulation of the center of the psyche and facilitator of individuation. 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 of archetypes is limitless, there are some particularly noteworthy,recurring archetypal images that appear again and again the fairy tales, epic poems, parables, short stories, novels and great literature:
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 there is much more than mere acceptance of the theory. Fantasyscience fiction writers 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 is very little written fantasy fiction, which shows real sexlittle more than a hint, "says Hunt," one of the conventions of this genre is that, depending on how you look, it's time or a sacred cow, never in question, or puncture the bubble and see what resources happened. "
In The Shade Thomas Hunt decided to make this presentation sex between adults in a way that makes history almost claustrophobic feeling and makes the main character seems almost inhuman, suddenly very vulnerable and very human.
If theenough to raise a fantasy novel out from the crowd?
"Absolutely not!" Thomas Hunt said, "if this writing, you can even begin to believe that the change of character is enough to give a badly written book, to do good approach. When I wrote the Shade I had to make an informed decision of whether to join the accepted norm of sexuality in fantasy fiction or remain faithful to the story. I decided to go with them, but aware that I was breaking with conventionwant to tell the story best as 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 on the archetypes of our psyche and mysterious characters that also requires the expression of these archetypes. Combine all these elements so that they penetrate and what you end up with a story that isTo read powerful, unforgettable.
