Listen "Ranking Fantasy Writing Cliches"
Episode Synopsis
Handsome fairies, evil advisors, rebellious princesses who are bad at embroidery...and 45 other fantasy cliches. I tier rank them on a scale from cold lumpy porridge to hot buttery pie. Also I want to change my opinion on “name day” as a fantasy cliche. I’ve since learned that they’re a pretty normal thing in some cultures. That would be such a cool thing to explore in fantasy (as opposed to just using that term as a replacement for birthday) and I want to upgrade it to 🥧!
