I’ve never heard of a Fen before
-
That's cuz ya basic like one :)
-
Fen the wetland type or fen the plural of (sci fi/fantasy) fan? Or had you heard of neither?
-
Sounds like it could be the name of a Hobbit. But no, never heard the word used before. I’m from Georgia and live in Virginia. Never been to a mountain wetland or to middle earth
-
I think I have only heard the term in:
- The plural of fan: sci fi stories set in the distant future of 1990, also in early internet fandom
- The wetland: stories from the UK, embedded in British place names, having a British parent
I wonder what sort of wetland my local one is, and the nearby swampy grasslands. Both are watered by rain or snowmelt. Both are marked as wetlands on maps

You are not reading enough fantasy books, then.

That’s because the old Something Awful forums ruined fantasy books back for me in the early 2000’s when the big series was ASOIAF. Going from GRRM to Sanderson, Hobbs, Abercrombie etc… just doesn’t hit the same. It’s like going from crack to whippets.

Martin is crap compared to Sanderson
-
We can go settle this in the parking lot
-
Nah let's have a space dogfight about it. I'll pilot one of Sanderson's many awesome spaceships, and you pilot something Martin wrote.
