About Fantasy
Secondary worlds, sword-and-sorcery quests, and fantasy AUs that relocate a modern cast into kingdoms, guilds, and enchanted forests. The tag covers both fic set in canonically fantastical worlds and full genre transplants.
Fantasy hands writers unlimited scope — any character can be a knight, a witch, or a dragon — and readers get the comfort of familiar dynamics inside brand-new worlds.
Common scenarios: A modern friend group reimagined as an adventuring party, or an original quest through corners of a canon fantasy map the source never visited.
