Ah, fantasy. That hallowed genre where dragons fly, mermaids swim, and hobbits meander in New Zealand for 9+ hours (more if you count the new trilogy.) The complexity required for works to succeed in fantasy is deceptively difficult to achieve- there's a reason I stuck it at the Semis instead of earlier. 

You've made it this far. Do you have what it takes to reach the Finals?

Pairings and Prompts

Amanda and Hannah

Can you find the magic in the mundane? Write me a story set in the modern era.

Shay and Annie

Let's take a step outside our comfort zone: write me a story which is not set in the West or a fantasy world inspired by it (i.e., steer clear of fantasy set in ambiguously medieval Europe.)

Eliminations

This round will be quite similar to the last; however, with only two pairings, I will only be able to select one winner, while the other goes up for votes.

Due Date: Friday, November 23 at 10 PM EST. Happy Thanksgiving!
