I had way too much fun with this, I think. As for your set of settings, I will <i>always</i> take more of The Woods... have a story idea I'd love to set there myself. Boarding School novels never seem to get old, and I'm also fond of The Farm and The Wilderness, so yeah--great picks!Jenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-31712512940883924802013-01-25T07:44:54.339-08:002013-01-25T07:44:54.339-08:00I am loving all of your recent posts Jenna. Like, ...I am loving all of your recent posts Jenna. Like, in the "I'm keeping these unread so I can respond to them later" sort of way. When this came up in my feed, and I eventually read it through, my imagination and emotional memory kind of exploded. I love that you've named and described these landscapes from my favorite kinds of stories...so much so that when I finished reading this and went to bed, I was thinking through all of my favorite stories and aligning their settings to your categories. <br /><br />I couldn't think of anything in the high fantasy/sci fi mode you've depicted here to add... Instead my way of thinking about the question focused in more on a different level of setting, which can exist in both fantasy/sci fi as well as stories set in our world and reality. So settings like: The Woods (Gathering Blue [sequel to The Giver], many parts of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit), The Boarding School (Harry Potter, Ender's Game), The Farm/Homestead (Anne of Green Gables), and The Wilderness (Hatchet, My Side of the Mountain) came to mind for me. <br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to leave something here to let you know I love the way you've described these. :) <br /><br />[Last up--your Les Mis review <3 this I am saving until I really have some time, so keep an eye on that post for a response from me soon ;) )Donna Witekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609991179829134157noreply@blogger.com
