Discussion: Dirty Worlds
Today’s tpic comes from QSFer Hank T. Cannon: How dirty is your fantasy world? I remember being fascinated by “Ever After” starring Drew Berrymore, and “The 13th Warrior” starring Antonio Banderas because the worlds depicted were rather filthy. I’m not asking if you get scatalogical, but do you address issues like urban infrastructure, farm waste management, and societal health issues, or do you hand wave it and stick with the story and characters?
