Well, I just brought this up in another thread and I think it just might be worthy of discussion. Now I will never write in high fantasy, unless of course I'm gonna get paid for it
I think with crappy teen novels like Eragon, maybe Twilight, hey, even a good number of Jordan's books, uhh...Harry Potter, I think High Fantasy has really gone down the drain and become a cesspool of MSM entertainment.
I still enjoy High Fantasy though like the Lord of the Rings (except I can't say I liked the movies so much). And to me High Fantasy has really become apart of the the MSM and has had what was once, as I perceived it, its Germanic spirit of artistic beauty torn right out of it.
When I tried to write high fantasy, I just couldn't do it. Time and time again I close my Word in frustrationI only managed to finish two pieces of work of high fantasy, everything else I just ended up deleting.
So, I think High Fantasy is overrated nowadays.
