What We Did to Ask Your Opinion

[mrissa]

Please note that I am aware that most of you have not read this book, so you are not being asked to comment on whether the title works well for the specific book I've written. (Although if you have read it, feel free to e-mail me with opinions on how the title worked for you.)

Also, if you ran across a book called What We Did to Save the Kingdom, what, if any, preconceptions would you have about it? (Funny, serious, high fantasy, swashbuckling, sword-wielding protagonist, lots of boats, whatever.)

I wouldn't think it had to be a light fluffy fantasy, nor that it had to be a comedy. I would not expect high fantasy, but rather something quirkier and more grounded in things that happened after 1900. I might expect a kind of memoirish or didactic tone, but wouldn't mind being wrong. Or right! Memoirs and fictional didacticism (as opposed to authors' getting carried away with what they know and MUST TELL YOU) are delights.

Fictional didacticism. Oh yes. I didn't do that this time, but I should, because I like it too.

It's one of the things I like about the Aud books.
