I didn't realize Tolkein set the rules for other fantasy writers to follow. What scenes are you talking about? Though judging by your comments on Morgan I take it you like your fantasy written in black and white and squeaky clean? In other words pretty devoid of reality and drifting over the more vulgar aspects of human character? Rape, mutilation, torture etc...
Well to answer the first point, no Tolkien didn't set any fantasy rules nor did I intend suggest he did, I'm just pretty certain he wouldn't like how some of its turned out.
I'm talking about the rape-scenes involving Kylars friends while also being underage. Which raises the question should books have a parental consent and warning? Would you like, for arguments sake, a young relative of yours to read such scenes? But I digress.
Concerning Morgan, I dislike constant swearing in any novel really let alone fantasy where for example - would they really call each other 'fecking cnuts' in a 'fantasy' world? From a personal perspective I also feel swearing almost constantly is desperately trying to make up for something.
You wonder I liked my fantasy devoid of reality, which also I didn't mean, fantasy is fantasy and sometimes the further from reality for me personally is better, but torture, mutilation, rape etc cannot be escaped and nor was that my real gripe with Morgan, I just don't want to read about two gays laying in bed fecking each other. Personally.
