    JK is no longer new. In fact, she's finished. Make way for McVean, McVean coming through. Thank-you.

    James just for ye.I spent two years on a Saturday spending time wi four pals on the days of Dungeon and Dragons.We were seen as some as geeks and weirdos.Couldnae give a tosh,ma imagination was developed in these two years.Fair enough I grew out of it cos I met girls and beer.Still rate Boris Vanjello as one of the greatest artists ever to live.I still love fantasy,cos Peter Jackson did the best in Lord of the Rings than ever could be perceived by J.R.R Tolkein.The Harry Potter Films..............good.But the books are brilliant!!!

    Ced...

    I have never played D&D but am a newbie on WoW online...and I have NEVER read JK Rowling...But saw one or two of the films...

    I take most of my Inspiration from reading LOTS of authors and not just fantasy either...I love thrillers to - John Connolly, Stephen Leather, Jeffrey Deaver...to name but a few...Recently I rediscovered Stephen Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant...He has a new series out...the first in 20 yrs...The Last Chronicles of Thomas Conenant....Really superb stuff...Also really rate A.A.Attanasio for fantasy and Scifi

    Cheers

    James
