Yeah...I think we'll be okay (famous last words). I mean, the only genres with fantastical elements (really) are fantasy, ghost story, sci fi & fairy tale. By process of elimination, if it's not sci fi, a ghost story or a fairy tale, then it's a fantasy.

On the one hand, it's not a drop-down list--one can type in whatever one chooses. On the other hand, it would bite hard to be DQ'd on something like that at this point.

So: just put Fantasy and grit my teeth?


Yeah, kind of in this boat too...I feel like magical/mystical elements (even if not in the "traditional" sense still equal fantasy, yes?
