--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on February 17, 2007, 05:19:26 PM ---Good point!  It's so true too.  I'm not extremely well-versed in fantasy, but I know for a fact that Star Wars incorporates the psychological archetypes (the hero, the old wise man, the dark villain, etc.), and Harry Potter is full of references to mythological creatures and characters, astrology, astronomy, etc.  George Lucas and JK Rowling didn't just make everything in their stories up; they did a lot of research too.  I'm sure it's the same way with a lot of other fantasy writers, and writers of all genres.

Star Wars is also based on Feudal Japan and samurais. :)

honey:
i hate doing research! Maybe thats the real reason I always write romance... Not that I know a lot about it... I've been married for more than 5 years... the romance is long gone haha but it doesn't take much research either. :P

MellzBellz:
This is a great idea! So many times I'm asking my friends for random facts that I don't know. I'll prolly find something to use this board for!

DragonStar:
I think we'll all end up using this board at some point! I know I will!

RokofAges75:
I almost used it tonight!  But then I just Googled LOL.  Figured I'd get my answer faster that way. :P  But it's nice to see so many people posting in this thread - I think it will be helpful!
