Are fantasy books supposed to be formulaic?
Q. I like to read but the stories seem to be similar. In fantasy for example: seemingly average protagonist finds out he/she is not so average after all and can do magic OR is destined for something great. Good vs. evil. Bad guy is purely evil and has no redeeming qualities. Good guy beats bad guy in the end. World order is restored. Ending can be bittersweet: some major characters are killed off along the way. Do you know more "original" fantasy stories I can read?

A. You don't specify if you prefer teen oriented or adult fantasies. The teen stuff, at least what I have read, tends to go by the formula, unless it's vampires/witches/etc, which is a different formula. Fantasies for the adult market can be just as formulaic. (Terry Brooks, McKiernan, David Eddings, Goodkind have all made successful careers out of redoing the Tolkien formula not as well as Tolkien did it.) But they can also be quite varied. Here are some of my favorites: Little, Big (Crowley) - a strange and sometimes confusing fantasy, entirely unlike anything else you've read. The Darkover series (Bradley) - A long series with both fantasy and science fiction elements, in which a human colony on a distant planet, cut off from all off- [cont.]

why are manufactured bands/music so bland and formulaic? eg: the saturdays, girls aloud, and others ?
Q. I am very cynical about it all. A lot of music is so boring and has nothing distinctive about it. Why is it only young, thin, beautiful, barely dressed/heavy make up ,gyrating their bodies, seem to be in these bands. Does anyone actually buy their songs?? I am a grumpy old woman. Well i'm 26 Music was better when I was young!!!

A. Manufactured music is boring, dull, and stale because it is not driven by someones vision, talent, or passion. It is driven by a room full of producers and executives that are trying to emulate something that has sold records before. Music is best when an artist or band works on their craft by touring and living and struggling. Most of those bands never make it now-days because the music that is crammed down our throats now comes from reality tv shows and over-hyped pretty faces. As for the visual side of these bands you are talking about you can thank the impact of TV and videos for the change...

Do Catholics ever give up on praying because the prayers are repetitive and formulaic?
Q. Not trying to offend, but I was just thinking that if one repeats the same prayers over and over, they might lose some or all of their meaning or importance to the one who is reciting them to God. I'm not intentionally being offensive. I am asking an honest question.

A. No offence taken! Yes, some prayers may be repetitive or follow a formula.This happens not only in the Catholic Church but in all faiths, particularly in a service. It does not lose any meaning because of that and sometimes is more meaningful and important when thousands of people are saying the same prayers together. We don't give up on praying, and other times we pray to God in our own words and listen to Him too. God bless

How can i paint one of those pictures i see on ebay of film/rock stars or cool cars?

Do you need a projector or a light box? what's the technique? it's obviously fairly formulaic as there are a lot of artists out there with a similar product.

Is there a browser game similar to Travian but not so warlike or negative?
Q. I've played Travian twice now and am getting bored of it. Its too warlike and everyday just seems like more of the same with very little scope for any co-operation.

Whas the opposite of a formulaic action shonen?
Q. What would you consider the exact opposite of a formulaic action shonen? Like, lets say a shonen series where the main character is a woman (not the "fan service bimbo" type) but a warrior...and she's actually the real "villian" but you don't find that out 'till midway in the story. There's no damsels in distress or power upgrades or fan service but action & unusual/unique story with rich character development. A decent action packed story that breaks the ropes of a sterotype shonen series by taking it to a higher level without the chiche'. (although formulaic action shonen series types aren't nessisarily a bad thing, to some extent) Anyway, those are my thoughts...so what do you think?

A. Those are wierd questions to have removed, I agree, but I didn't see any aditional information the asker may have posted that may have been cause for removal. I think a lot of questions are removed because they are not meant as actual questions that people want answers too but are asked to start debate or express opinion. The Obama one may have been removed for that reason. But I have posted legitimate questions that could be considered reasons for dissent so you may have a point..either that or the moderates don't pay attention to questions that get reported and just remove them without looking at content.

The Obama one may have been removed for that reason.

In most cases, it's just their ignorance and inexperience showing. My husband and I are each other's best friend. We know each other inside and out and are committed to encouraging, supporting and loving each other unconditionally. Sex is an important part of the relationship because it's the most intimate and revealing expression of love that you can have with another individual. Because we know each other so intimately and so well (and choose to… [cont.]
