Fantasy Conversion Kit

[kate_nepveu]

My entry in the genre conversion kits discussion is very belated, but here it is all the same (I came up with a list of titles back when the discussions were going around, and then didn't have time to add reasons to the list). Since I'm not up-to-date on science fiction

When I saw the title "Fantasy conversion kit", I thought you meant instructions on how to change any book into a fantasy book.

Step 1 - change the main character's name to something you just made up. the more odd the name the better (i.e. Frodo, Rincewind, or Phedre). Repeat for all characters.

Heh. Perhaps I should edit that . . .

I'm really liking that idea, though. Start with Wuthering Heights, and end with Kushiel's Dart.

Or, you could take the easy route, and start with The Four Musketeers and end with The Phoenix Guards.

Except that you make the characters nicer.

I haven't read _Wuthering Heights_. Or _Kushiel's Dart_.

But both Frodo and Phedre are real names.

Phedre's a bit more common, I admit.
