Dragonero blog by Luca Enoch

I was reading this blog http://ian-dragonero.blogspot.co.uk/


What struck me was how a story is born. In the last post is about the figure of a dwarf and the story that hides his ax.
I remember, as a child, each one of my soldiers, playmobile and figure was for me a character with a story and features. I was used to build stories with a complex background. I invented landscapes, build cities and ships. A whole world. The game was just it, to build worlds in which to move soldiers and various figures.
What I'm trying to say is that, it's fascinating as each individual uses his creativity, some draw, others write a piece, others just a game.

Christopher Paolini

I just start to read Inheritance. Indeed I haven't read the other books, just saw the movie few years ago. I hope the book will be better.

The Picture of Dorian Grey: Fantasy?

I think that sorcery is essential for a Fantasy: what if not a spell can trap the soul of Dorian in the painting? Perhaps the painter used magic paints?

Raistlin

This is the secret of a good writing: the writer doesn't say if the character is good or bad. It's up to the reader to decide it.

Dragonlance: Raistlin

This guy is the coolest of the group.

DMZ

One of the best comics I have read recently. It's not a Fantasy, I know, but I believe that a good comic may also have space here for a discussion.

Lady Hawk as movie of the day

Lady Hawk (1985) directed by Richard Donner, with a beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer, a young Matthew Broderick, and the Rutger Hauer in one of his 3 best movies.
