I love reading fantasy books.
I like playing fantasy videogames.
I usually don't care to watch fantasy movies.
Pretty much video games, film, and television outside of table topping. I cant stand fantasy literature.
I feel ya on the literature. The good fantasy books seem so few and far between that I've pretty much given up the genre and stick with Fiction and Sci-Fi.
I play fantasy video games,admire fantasy artwork and enjoy the good fantasy films that occasionally pop up (not that they pop up very often).
I'd be happy to recommend some fantasy authors (Brandon Sanderson's anything, Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet, Brent Week's Black Prism, Steven Brust's Taltos series, Kameron Hurley's Mirror Empire...I could go on).
If you've tried those and don't like them, then I guess you really don't like fantasy literature rather than being exposed to poor authors.
Films usually suck, sadly, and I don't like audio books, but everything else for sure.
Books, film, not so much video games but I do play once in a while, world building etc.
Also keep in mind, that I classify science-fiction as a sub genre of fantasy.
Careful now the Hard Sciencei-fiction fans may crawl out of their labs after you rabid well educated bunch they tend to be. ;)
I avoid films though I can be surprised every once in a while.
Books I used to consume voraciously before I got caught up in writing, life, and everything that entails.
Fantasy games have evolved a great deal and run from wonderful masterpieces like Planescape:Torment to cringe worthy schlock fests like certain bits of the WoW lore.
Also keep in mind, that I classify science-fiction as a sub genre of fantasy.When it's actually the other way around. Because Fantasy was a subset of Science Fiction from the start.
Please don't summon Asimov from his grave. He was not the most open minded of men.
If you weren't a woman or a realist.
Asimov was awesome.
Yes he was. Especially his non-fiction.
Books, video games, movies, TV shows.
If you weren't a woman or a realist.I'm neither. But I meant his writing.
Same here.
meh.
when it's on TV, then maybe.
I'm a Science Fiction Guy. But I love D&D

Books (mostly Discworld and A Song of Ice and Fire at the moment - I read every bad piece of fast-food-fantasy when I was younger, this has ended) and video games.
There are few good fantasy series if you don't count the science fiction/superhero stuff and even fewer good movies. Most are either horrible adaptations of good books (Inkheart, Hobbit 2+3) or horrible adaptions of horrible books (Eragon) or just plain horrible (Maleficent). Though I don't watch that many movies in general.
Some folks may find this hard to accept, but both fantasy AND science-fiction predated both Issac Asimov and Gene Roddenberry.Asimov was awesome.Yes he was. Especially his non-fiction.
I never said otherwise. In fact I have read a lot of fiction that predates them both.
Video games and long running shows from both sides of the Pacific Ocean mostly. Books are on the hard side for me to do (I get lost in the text and often mix up lines from how freaking tiny the words are) while movies are too short for me to get that attached to the characters.
I write it. I read it. I watch the occasional film but only if I feel reasonably certain it isn't horrible or mishandling the source material.
There are some good podcasts Fear the Boot & Know Direction....
I have stopped reading fantasy - I have lost interest and I don't know why.
Books; comics (Thorgal, the Gail Simone written Red Sonja, some of the pilpier episodes of the Scandi-version of The Phantom); moving pictures; audio plays (Pathfinder Legends!!), podcasts, primarily Podcastle; the occasional video or computer game; paintings (digital and physical both); if someone knows of some good fantasy photograhpy, feel free to tell me where to find it.

Oh, I suppose I should include webcomics! Order of the Stick is a staple.
