We all have fantasies, of course... Sometimes 'Fantasy' can reflect a simple desire... people can fantasize about owning a pet, for example, so the cat they may have in their mind is a fantasy...

But what do we consider "Fantasy"? What defines the genre to you? What, beyond an entry in the dictionary, makes something "Fantasy"?

Does it need dragons? Mythological creatures? How would you define it?

If you had to describe what "Fantasy" was to someone, what would you tell them?

Fantasy, for me, is anything that does not have a direct connection with/cannot be explained within the boundaries of reality and, therefore, relies on some kind of unjustified assumption to make it "believable".
