Is Fantasy stuck in the mud?

[chongjasmine]

I think fantasy is more diverse nowsaday than before, although I prefer to read epic fantasy.

Fantasy will never be stuck--only fantasy writers. It consists of nigh infinite possibilities.

Agreed. Fantasy is nothing new, and humans' brains are wired to have storytelling practices, so fantasy will always be there and as established by Thor's adventure with stolen mead, some bards (writers) will be fantastic (pun intended) while others may be crappy ones. But the stories will go on, so the genre as such will not, imho, be stuck in a mud. By the way of which, have you heard that Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickmann are to release some new Dragonlance (classic era) content?

And D and D is not going away.
