Citing the performance hierarchy from "Family Guy": legitimate theatre, musical theatre, stand-up, ventriloquism, magic, mime.
Is there an associated hierarchy for literature? Music?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😵
Dude, you really crack me.
The debate actually is if fantasy fiction is in the bottom next to religious pamphlets or in the 2nd worst.

Originally posted by rwingetti suppose Homer's Oddysey is an example of fantasy literature of a high order, and there are other classical examples, but the modern dungeons and dragons stuff? well, i haven't come across any. i think writers who want to write about 'serious' themes, and actually have something new to say, just avoid the genre. maybe there's just something inherently non-serious about writing about dragons and things in this day and age.
