My wife and I were having a discussion and I figured I would post it here and maybe I can get some insight.
If you like "real" fiction but hate "unreal/fantasy" fiction, why?
Why are you more interested in made up things that are just a step away from the real world as opposed to made up things that are on another land or planet?
Why do you want to read a story about a lonely farmer's daughter whisked away by a dashing warrior in Scotland, but have no interest in a story about a lonely farmer's daughter whisked away by a dashing warrior in Faerun?
Making all things equal, if both are comparatively well written, why would you say "Ewww...Wizards." or "Eww...Robots" and go "Oooh...teachers!" or "Oooh...housewives!"?
