	Fantasy Reading List - FCPL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Since some fantasy is classified as regular fiction, and some is in science fiction, check both sections of the Library, and don't forget to check the New Books section of the Library for the latest by the Current Stars.
		Laurell K. Hamilton: Hamilton's series of modern-day vampire tales are hard to classify, borrowing from the hard-boiled detective and horror genres as well as those of fantasy.
		Terry Pratchett: The Discworld series is possibly the longest series in fantasy, full of wit and life, often brilliantly satirizing the fantasy genre.

	Final Fantasy WarCry™ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is noteworthy for several reasons: It's a much-desired follow-up to Square's popular 1997 strategy role-playing game for the PlayStation, and it's also the first Final Fantasy game to appear on a Nintendo console in many years.
		Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is neither a sequel nor a remake of the 1997 PlayStation classic, though it is similar.
		The story of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was apparently inspired by the famous novel The Neverending Story--or maybe even more so by the 1984 movie of the same name--since this story seems skewed for younger audiences but is suitable for all ages.

	Epic fantasy
		Epic Fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy and very similar to high-fantasy where a seemingly average person undergoes many trials and ordeals which develop him or her into a hero capable of heroic feats needed to thwart challenges of an epic scale.
		The ancient greeks elevated the epic fantasy to new heights and the predominat theme in these epics was that of the boy who was rightfully king but through deceit of others was not allowed to take the throne.
		Another classic epic fantasy tale by William is The Wood Beyond The World This one is a tale of a hero named Walter and his epic sea voyage.

	Article: Quality in Epic Fantasy, by Alec Austin
		Ultimately, the problems which plague many epic fantasies are not a result of the exhaustion of the traditional elements of fantasy as much as a symptom of the inexcusably crude manner in which they are used on the page.
		If all the elements of fantasy and fiction in a work are fitted to their purposes and combine to create a moving story set in a convincing world, that work will presumably be a masterpiece.
		Since clichéd fantasy conventions such as prophecies and powerful companions swarming around the main characters undermine a sense of real danger, they should be dispensed with, or else used in such a way that their goals do not necessarily correspond to the main characters' best interests.

	Final Fantasy II - Final Fantasy Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Final Fantasy II (ファイナルファンタジーII Fainaru Fantajī II) Originally released for the Nintendo Family Computer in Japan in 1988, there was some initial talk that either Nintendo of America or Square Soft (Square's North American subsidiary) might localize the title for American audiences as had been done with its predecessor in 1990.
		Final Fantasy II is notable for being one of the first story-intensive RPGs released for a console system, and for being the first game in the series to feature many elements that would later become staples of the franchise, including Chocobos and a character by the name of Cid.
		Because of the popularity of the series in America during the 1990s, Final Fantasy II was one of the first games to undergo fan translation, in this case by NeoDemiforce.

	The Haunted Bibliophile- Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series
		The brainchild of Betty Ballantine and her husband Ian, the series was edited by Lin Carter who was brought onto the project due to his in-depth knowledge and love of the genre.
		Unlike the successful Tolkien titles (which inspired the creation of the Fantasy Series) the series at best enjoyed mediocre sales, which makes the five year run all the more impressive (I believe the Ballantine's felt the series was a "good thing" and continued on despite the sales numbers.
		Something else worth noting is THE LAST UNICORN and THE MEZENTIAN GATE state "A BALLANTINE ADULT FANTASY" on the front cover by the spine in their first printings, in apparent anticipation of the start of the series proper (the agreement for Carter to edit the Series having been signed 11/22/68).

	Ballantine Adult Fantasy series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series was never considered a money-maker for Ballantine, although the re-issue of several of its titles during and after the series' existence indicates that a number of individual works were considered successful.
		In 1975 both its fantasy and science fiction lines were relaunched under the Del Rey Books imprint, under the editorship of Lester and Judy-Lynn del Rey.
		Meanwhile, the series' lapsed mission of restoring classic works of fantasy to print was taken up on a more limited basis by the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library, which had been launched in 1973.
