Usha Reddy comments : Very clear thinking and put across brilliantly.
Ashini J. Desai comments : Nice article, Vandana! I think your enthusiasm and logical arguments have made a short fiction writer like myself pause and consider Imaginative Literature as a possiblity. However it seems so daunting - to create another world. I suppose reading those authors you suggested would be one way to introduce myself to this genre. (Btw, I always remember you as LeGuin's "disciple" ;-)
Ram comments : Nice article on imaginative literature ! Let me be frank & admit that I belonged to the group of people dealt with in the essay at the beginning. The points you made were quite insightful & I am taking away a lot with me.
P.S:I maintain a website too (http://www.bubble-media.com), but like you might have guessed,is very much in the realm of nonfiction.

Yosh comments : hi there vandana,actually u r totally rite bout imaginative-fantasy litt. its a grt thing n am a fan myself,though i dnt have much time for the moment.but i think that TOLKIEN n other fantasy writers have had a veru open-broad minded view of reality(or fantasy),n they have reached a certain point of understanding things which is actually happening or is to happen!!!
Anna comments : I really liked this article!! I am a fantasy writer (sort of) myself. I dabble in a little of this and that. But my main thing is gothic fiction.
Jason Przybycien comments : This is a great essay in support of well-written science fiction and fantasy, and its ability to change the world. As an aspiring writer, it energizes me to hear someone talk like that, especially since I recently had the idea to create a mother as the hero in a contemporary fantasy novel. To bridge the sci-fi/fantasy gap, let's use the most popular example of the bridge: Star Wars. What if Amidala had lived through the birth at the end of episode 3? What if she had two twins who were tempted by the dark side, one of which was turned, or worse yet killed, by Darth Vader or the Emperor? If she had powers comparable to Vader, what would a mother's revenge look like? Now I'm leaning toward fantasy instead of sci-fi, but that's the direction I'm headed in.
YOUR GAY comments : READING IS FOR HOMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA boi..............
