Fun With Anachronism

Why go through all of the trouble to make fantasy sound anachronistic?  Because that’s the point.

To write fantasy in a way that makes it seem modern or current day is a huge wasted opportunity in a genre tailor-made for anachronistic fun.  What good is it to create a time and place with swords, sorcery, and a healthy dose of medieval if you don’t use it?  It’s why I went through the trouble to make the writing sound archaic in The Stonemaster series, and will do the same with the next one.
