What is the best fantasy written in the last 25 years?
Remember, we're just narrowing down the field here. These titles are not the whole poll, and in fact if you have voted on every round so far, you've probably seen less than half the titles. This isn't even the quarterfinal round yet. We just need to cull a few titles off the lists. So if you don't see someone you're sure should be on here, they're probably in another part of the poll. Keep checking back and they'll turn up.
There have SO many nominations for Best Modern Fantasy that we are going to have to do a round before quarter finals. So in order for this not to drag on for months, I'll be running these early rounds for only THREE DAYS EACH.
I want to clear up a mistake I made on the last poll. I wrote 25 years on the nomination post and then thought I had said 15 when I wrote the latest culling round. So Harry Potter and Song of Ice and Fire are back on for the quarterfinals, and I'll try not to make that mistake again. My brain is not the best place for numbers on a good day.
I also want to remind everyone that I'm currently on a job with a dog I can't really leave alone for very long and a spotty internet where I don't even get cell phone signal, so I'm doing the best I can to get some content offerings sacrificed to The God of Pageviews™ but it'll be Tuesday before I can reliably post. I start doubling up at another job WITH internet on Friday, but there's going to be a lot of back and forthing. I should have some posts ready to cut and paste though.
Back to the poll: There is no way to "rank" votes, so use as few as you can bare.
The poll itself is at the bottom left, under the "About The Author."
Note: If you see a title that is "breaking the rules" (older than 25 years) please let me know. I did not have time to cross check all of them.
Don't choose poorly.
