Answer 2

Often, fantasy stories take place in other worlds. Magicians are also sometimes involved (other good names for magicians: wizard, sorcerer, sorceress, mage, witch, enchantress) and very rarely does a fantasy book not involve a King or Queen, especially ones with great characteristics. Also, prophecies are good; especially something that just spells doom! I suggest adding interesting creatures (dragons, elves) and keeping the plot for a fantasy story believable yet awe-inspiring. Good luck, all you fellow budding fantasy writers!
