And here we are -- 1 January 2024, with a whole year of possibility stretching before us.

In terms of what I've planned for the first of every month, over the past few years I've covered:
- Romance (2019)
- Worldbuilding (2020)
- Magic Systems (2021)
- Heroes (2022)
- The Band of Brothers (2023)
So-o, I'm thinking 2024 just might have to be the Year of the Villain -- in Fantasy fiction, of course, that being the unifying strand for each of the (above) themes.
Sauron: The Lord of the Rings |
.Not anti-heroes or lovable rogues, straight-out villains is where I'm heading.
Voldemort: Harry Potter |
Every protagonist needs an antagonist, after all, and Fantasy has plenty on offer, from Sauron to Voldemort, Littlefinger to Mrs Coulter.
Littlefinger: Game of Thrones |
.I'm looking forward to checking at least twelve of them out in more detail. :-)
Mrs Coulter: The Golden Compass |
.In the meantime, Happy New Year!
