Tired Fantasy Themes...

Stolen from Pub Rants

1. Your main protagonist is the “chosen one” and only he or she can save the world.
2. You have a lost magical amulet and that search alone is driving the story.
3. When your main protagonist is waking up and getting ready for the day in the opening chapter.
4. If you have to go through the portal to actually begin the story.
5. If your Mom & Dad are dead (and on top of that, they are dead wizards or something similar) that the protagonist must live up to.

I actually have committed one of these taboos. #3

  1. eeek....chosen one is definately my problem. does it count that she's "the chosen one" if she's not really the chosen one, in fact it could be her sister that prevents the war.....yeah...because she's a princess and she would have to marry the other nation's prince to stop it...does that count as the chosen one?
