What Genre is This?

jaeladarling · Jan 5, 2012

I have a WIP that involves a contemporary character transporting to a fantasy realm. The story takes place both in the fantasy realm and the real world. Basically, things happening in this world affect the character as he is in the fantasy world.

Is this still considered just fantasy, or is there a genre/sub-genre that it would fit into?

It might be some form of Contemporary Fantasy or Urban Fantasy.

I'd just call it fantasy. Contemporary fantasy could work too, but to me, that term implies that the story will mostly take place in the "real world" with fantastical elements included.

LOL Okay, I'll just stick with "fantasy".

Thanks, all.
