Greetings, from CreatureofLegend! We are a group of experienced fantasy writers who are dedicated to our chosen genre. We want to find the myriad of great fantasy stories that we know are lurking about here somewhere, but are as of yet undiscovered. We also want to promote good fantasy, so that it can gain a decent readership here in this website filled with romance and teen fiction. The goal is to do interviews with accomplished fantasy writers on Wattpad, to host contests to get people to write fantasy, and to post anthologies of fantasy short stories.

What we're looking for: High quality stories of the fantasy genre. The definition of "fantasy" will be primarily left up to you, but some examples of Fantasy sub-genres are High Fantasy/Sword & Sorcery/Urban Fantasy/Dark Fantasy, though the genre isn't limited to those. Definitions for them, as well as for many more, will be posted later.

What we're not looking for: Stephanie Meyer, Twilight-ripoffs. I think you probably know what I mean. If your story contains any of the following, you probably shouldn't bother suggesting it: Vampires who sparkle in the sunlight, Vampires or werewolves who fall in love with teenaged girls at first sight, Edward Cullen, a title resembling "I'm in love with the Alpha wolf, but I already have a mate!" in any way. This may be your personal fantasy, but it is not what we want to read around here. Please, save it for someplace else.

So, if you think that you have a high quality, original fantasy story, go ahead and drop us a link and we'll be sure to have a look. If we like it, we'll promote it! Be ready for some contests that'll be having you writing short stories, or a request for an interview if we really like your writing.

Also, don't forget to check out @ForbiddenPlanet, if you're a sci-fi fan!
