Re: What is Cardiel?
I'm not sure that "Postmodern" is all that useful as a label in general. On the other hand I think I prefer narrower genre lables than broad ones. Sure Meiville writes "Postmodern fiction" but really so does Stieg Larrson.

Re: What is Cardiel?
I prefer narrower labels too. But sometimes it's important to point out that there is (at least) one flaw in LOTR.

Re: What is Cardiel?
Or as I think of it, medieval fantasy without most of the "annoying medieval stuff." ;-)

In any case, I don't think "modern fantasy" simply equals "modern" + "fantasy," any more than "steampunk" equals "steam" + "punk" (a lot of steampunk is not "punk" in any meaningful sense).

Re: What is Cardiel?
According to at least one of Ken Hite's "Suppresed Transmissions," that's redundant...
