What Does 'Fantasy' Mean?

'Fantasy', as I have previously mentioned, can be interpreted in many different ways.

'Fantasy is a genre of fiction that commonly uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary plot element, theme, or setting... Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes' - Wikipedia

This is what I meant when I said that 'the genre itself can be interpreted in many different ways'. Whilst 'Medieval Fantasy' might be the way most people see the 'Fantasy' genre, and probably often view 'Sci-Fi Fantasy' as regular 'Sci-Fi', it is a version of 'Fantasy'.

With this in-mind, I have a lot of freedom within this genre to explore many different kinds of sets and imagery.
