Huh, I wonder if a morally grey fantasy world would immediately be labelled as Dark Fantasy or if it requires something more than that. I'm also kinda baffled by the exact differences between High Fantasy, Heroic Fantasy and Low Fantasy, since it seems that some of my own story ideas seem to have some traits from two or three of those at the same time after having a look around TVtropes on the matter. Then again, should I even be worried about such labels in the first place?

And oh dear lord I suddenly understand the Law-Chaos war.
We're not the heroes Westcrown needs, nor are we the ones it deserves, I think.
I think we're just a bunch of bumbling strangers who happen to have stumbled onto the right clues in approximately the right order.

hi everyone,
back home after a long day in the hosptial
The Dwarfling and his mommy are doing well, Sabine could take him oit of the incubator and let him lay on her body for almost an hour, she maybe can do it again later this evening
Huzzah! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. That skin to skin is awesome bonding for mommy and baby.
Gah, I'm falling into melancholy again...
Speaking off snow....read a FB post from a former co-worker back in Philly. She already had 4 inches this morning, with more of the evil frozen sky water coming down. HA!
Nyah Nyah Nyah! Ain't no snow for me!!!!
Got some yesterday after work, but it didn't stick and was mostly gone this morning, except for a few traces on the windows of my car. Thank goodness.
As a fellow hater of the cold, I recommend it on the purposes of much preferring the weather. I enjoyed most of the eight or nine years I spent out there.
That said, the job market in Arizona is still pretty wretched, last I heard. So if you don't have something already arranged that you're pretty sure will stick, it will likely be very difficult to find work.

I say to you no, no, a thousand times no! Labels have their uses, but TV tropes has gone far beyond providing definitions to outright bad-girl-Weaver level calcification. Blend the genres, blur the lines and cross the streams. Make your world live.

Hey, Freehold! How's that snow coming along? We still don't have any down here! :)
It's coming along wonderfully. Once I discovered that CH was safe in Amby country, I stopped holding back. I am a hero to children everywhere.
Could be a bit of both.
I do hope she's alright.
Yeah, I'm tempting the Fates to hit me with the white stuff, but what the hell.

How can I penetrate Orthosville but not Amby land? Hmmm...
In other news, I discovered whilst 3/4ths of the way to work that my job was closed today. My supervisor was amazed that I hadn't called her or anything. She seems to be forgetting the time I was chewed out for being late during the last day it snowed. Ah well. I have business in Manhattan town anyways. Will take a few pics for ppl if this train gets moving...

Mountains.
I currently have around 5 inches of the white stuff outside, with the forecast calling for another 4-8 inches over the next few days.
It's almost enough to make me give serious consideration to moving to Tempe with my brother.
See, I bring families closer together! No need to thank me.

*ahem*my love for buxom women preceeds me....
In fact, I prefer cool or cold to hot. Arizona would likely be miserable for me. I know north Florida was.
Ah. In that case yeah don't go. You and I are quite opposite there.
I quite clearly prefer the cold. Heat makes me sleepy, then cranky, then crazy.

GURPS Fantasy 4th edition had a page or so dedicated to describing distinctions between various fantasy subgenres. I don't recall exact differences betwen High and Heroic at the moment but Low Fantasy is distinct by both scale and type of characters present.
You don't have to be worried about the labels until you reach the point where critics opinion will start to influence sales of your books. And even then you can get label of refreshingly new (or crappy) by breaching barriers between subgenres.

Watching Frozen again with my brother.
I've been hearing great things about that movie from a diverse range of sources

It's awesome, go see it =D
The first five minutes are kinda heartbreaking though.

Yeah, a lot like that.
Caught a bit of the Blade movie on last night....the first one. Good movie, but that whole vampires as a race and you can be born as one was really f*&%ing idiotic.
It's an old trope (maybe even going back to the original concept of vampires), just a pity they didn't pull it off well.
Anyway busy last couple of weeks, even when I have had time haven't really had the motivation to keep up with the forums :(
Well f#$&! The wife and I heard from a college friend - her brother was shot and killed in a carjacking the other night. I hope they catch the sonofab#$#* who did it and gut him like a f+*&ing fish.
Zombie, Calm down before mistakenly eaqt someone's brain.
And positive waves to your college friend. Looking as a cabbie now, I feel like the next tiem I step in a cab could be my last.
Salisbury Steaks!
WOOT!
It's for Dinner!
Gotta turn on the Oven!
