Introducing #FANTASYMONTH

 By Jenelle Leanne Schmidt

I started February is Fantasy month back in 2016 for multiple reasons: 1) I love fantasy, and I thought it would be fun to take a month to celebrate the genre, 2) February is often a month during which many people sort of feel "down", especially in the Northern Hemisphere where the days are dark and dreary, the excitement of the holidays is over, and the end of winter still seems a long ways off... 3) Valentine's is fine, but does it really need to dominate the entire month? and 4) Alliteration.

It all started as a blogging event, and bloggers are still invited to join the link-up with any fantasy-themed blog posts they feel like writing during the month of February. Following the weekly theme or hashtag prompts for their blog posts is certainly acceptable, but is not in any way required. There will also be a game of Tag and a super-short story challenge throughout the month.
