I totally agree! Although I tend to read a lot more realistic fiction, to me, genre doesn't play as big of a role as other parts of the book do (I'm a huge character/character development buff). It's sort of like painting versus drawing, I guess. Neither is better than the other; they both just different ways of conveying, potentially, the same thing. And they can both be awful, or they can both be wonderful.

I totally get the sentiments you have about not being able to write fantasy in an academic setting. I feel the same way, which totally sucks!

Also, I wonder if fantasy takes more effort and planning to write? Along with dealing with what realistic fiction deals with, you have to do a lot of world and societal building, isn't that right?
