Crown Duel and Court Duel by Sherwood Smith (two books but available in one volume) is awesome. Great blend of action and court politics that actually deals with the aftermath of revolution that many stories don't have the guts to confront. An engaging female heroine and lots of different female characters in various roles. Lovely YA feminist fantasy.

Madeleine L'Engel's books Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time are more science-fiction than fantasy but deal with the struggles of growing up and daring to be a nonconformist. Classic books that still feel contemporary and remind us of the value of being independent in our thinking.

The Arthur Trilogy (The Seeing Stone, At the Crossing Places, and King of the Middle Marsh) by Kevin Crossley-Holland are excellent reads that mix Arthurian legend with actual events of the Middle Ages like the Crusades in a very creative way. Lots of knighthood training stuff that will remind readers of Alanna's and Kel's experiences as pages and squires. The protagonist is a male character, but there was an effort to include female characters with different personalities in a variety of roles. Gerald Morris's retellings of Arthurian legend for teens (beginning with the Squire's Tale) are also fun.

The Wild Orchid: A Retelling of the Ballad of Mulan by Cameron Dokey is a fun read for those who would like another story of a woman hiding her identity to fight a la Alanna. Also cool to read a story set in ancient China.

So glad someone else enjoyed those books. I read my copy (I was lucky enough to buy them in one volume) so many times it got tattered, and I had to get a new one. If my book tatters, it's a sure sign that I loved it.

For adult fantasy, I recommend The Novels of the Twelve Houses by Sharon Shinn. Senneth, one of the main characters, gives me some Alanna and Sabine vibes and Tayse and Justin make me think of a mix of The King's Own and the Riders. Plus there's magic, romance and political intrigue.

I'm always willing to ready good adult fantasy.

For adult fantasy, I have to recommend the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams. The books are doorstoppers but very well-written with what is in my opinion the best world-building I've encountered in fantasy and a take on elves superior to Tolkien's.

Lisa: I just noticed that my rank is one that isn't even in the Rankings chart. Woohoo for being so talkative 10+ years ago!! XD Oct 30, 2021 1:29:45 GMT 10

Kypriotha: Lisa yeah we had to make a new one for you, because you exceeded expectations! Oct 30, 2021 10:53:02 GMT 10

Rosie: And there’s a new rank that nobody has reached yet! Oct 30, 2021 17:22:09 GMT 10

Seek: Oh now that's interesting

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown! Nov 4, 2021 5:04:36 GMT 10

oskarshai: Random question but does anyone know if images with transparency show up as transparent on proboards? Nov 16, 2021 16:10:18 GMT 10

Hopeless: Where can you find the ranking chart??! Nov 22, 2021 2:24:44 GMT 10

Kypriotha: Hopeless, the old ranking chart is here: fiefgoldenlake.proboards.com/thread/41563/ranking-system Nov 22, 2021 16:31:02 GMT 10 *

Kypriotha: We haven't updated it with the new rank yet...we'll probably get around to it at some point. It's mostly correct, it's just missing the higher tier one Lisa is referring to. Nov 22, 2021 16:32:14 GMT 10

Kypriotha: oskarshai, sorry no idea! I can't remember how images work on proboards, since I made my avatar in 2011 and have never changed it... I assume they do? Nov 22, 2021 16:33:01 GMT 10

oskarshai: Okay I guess I'll just have to experiment and find out lol

rae: Newbie here! In the rules for Fanfic, specifically "Multi-chaptered fics should all be posted in the same thread, in as few posts as possible." What if it is a work in progress? Could it be posted chapter by chapter in the same thread? Feb 8, 2023 19:21:56 GMT 10

Seek: rae It has been done that way before, with members just editing the thread title to notify when a new chapter is posted. Mar 6, 2023 6:13:39 GMT 10
