Question: What do you think the main difference is in fantasy fiction over adventure fiction?
Once you introduce a paranormal element, is it no longer to be classified as “adventure fiction”? If you know your stuff, please say so. If you want to quess, or even have a strong opinion, you’re welcome to answer, but I especially want to hear from those in the know.

Answer:

Answer by MOM KNOWS EVERYTHING
I think a little paranormal element can be contained in adventure fiction, (ESP, ghosts to a limited degree, “possession”) but once you get into truly “unreal” subject matter (dragons, wizards, time travel, the distant future, etc.) it becomes “fantasy” because there isn’t any reality base anymore.

Confessions Of A Dark-Skinned Pool Boy
Hired To Fill A Chain-Smoking, Seventy-three
Year-old Hag’s Pool… (tee hee if ya know what I mean)

I’M SORRY Eh’ DITOR BUT THE MIX OF
BAGELS, DIPPITY-DOO AND ELDER OIL
JUST DON’T DO IT FOR DIS PO’IT
by………………………..

Atlantic stare I swear to thee, believe!
You must for I just cannot just – if I,
Have not your trust in reason mine, puh-lease,
twenty-three on seventy-three I died

But not of elder smells or plus-sized slips,
Nor flaky folds between your angus thighs,
Nor tainted bagels He brew on your nips,
Or sunken gaping route of ships ‘fore I,

You see my thee I died because of Doo,
Dippity goo you used to tame red wool,
Of upstairs, downstairs wall to wall on you,
Like Simon’s solo Art which failed to rule,

My anglo Johnson ‘beit twenty C
M’wilts to Thee O’Hag of Seven Three

Answer by Buk
“Nor tainted bagels He brew on your nips”
Brilliant.

When someone proves themselves over and over and over and over and over and over again to be a pathological liar, that person should be very aware of what they are unconsciously wishing for.
