What do you men out there like to see in your fantasy stories?
Anything you distinctly don't like or see as too feminine? (I'm a girl but I will not read anything with fairies in it unless it's horror....and I'm very wary of anything with princesses ^_~ ...nor will I read anything that has gladiators or scruffy wilderness guys warring with nature)
Of course, everything is subjective but I'm just curious if there's any kind of consensus.
And more specificly, I'm working on a scene in a surreal maybe victorian area like downtown Savannah and there's a bustle of street performers and vendors and such.... I wrote some characters meeting at a maypole and then was like...'wtf...there is no one in hell my boyfriend is going to read past this. He'll throw the book out the window right there...' ^_~ So I'm trying to think of an active, public activity people would meet at in that kind of setting. The dancing and music comes later (two of the people meeting are performers who perform to distract people from the doom about to be rained upon them ;p).
