	Fantasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fantasy is a genre of art, literature, film, television, and music that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of either plot, theme, setting, or all three.
		The genre is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by overall look, feel, and theme of the individual work, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (collectively known as speculative fiction).
		In the 19th and early 20th centuries, much fantasy was published in the same magazines as science fiction (and often written by the same authors).

	glbtq >> literature >> Science Fiction and Fantasy
		On the one hand, as genres of popular literature, science fiction and fantasy often seem even more constrained than nongenre literature by their conventions of characterization and the effects that these conventions have on depictions of sexuality and gender.
		In science fiction, these conventions originated in the boys' adventure stories of the late nineteenth century, a time when technology was transforming industry and promising to transform life for the better.
		It provides science fiction with a quality that Darko Suvin has called, "cognitive estrangement," the recognition that what we are reading is not the world as we know it, but a world whose change forces us to reconsider our own with an outsider's perspective.

	Harcourt Trade Publishers - Ursula K. Le Guin's BookExpo America Speech
		Some assumptions are commonly made about fantasy that bother me. These assumptions may be made by the author, or by the packagers of the book, or both, and they bother me both as a writer and as a reader of fantasy.

		Fantasy is a literature particularly useful for embodying and examining the real difference between good and evil.

		My most frequent sexual fantasy is to watch my wife or girlfriend (I have neither at the moment) have sex with another man - actually, sometimes it's a teenage boy.
		I think this fantasy means you enjoy the idea of a well-hung man or two fucking your wife or girlfriend.
