+1 They're just so out there and not what you see in the real world so it's great to read about them because it's kind of an escape from reality in a way.

This contest looks fabulous!
ReplyDelete+1 I think immortality for vamps and some faeries. To be invincible really intrigues humans, I think. The powers are also a perk, and as humans we are curious about things that aren't like us and that we don't understand.

Thanks! Great contest!! Amazing list you put together!
-All fantasy beings are fascinating to me. The biggest thing that really amazes me is when beings are able to shift and morph into something else. That amazing ability gives them the chance to totally be something else. I'm totally jealous lol

P.S. Congrats on all your followers Tina!

+1 because they're myths, and there's SO much to learn/so many stories to know about them. they're so unlike human beings & animals, that they fascinate us. in the stories, they hold so much power and magic, and they're almost a source of entertainment for us.

+1 I think that they're so facinating because they can do things that we can't: Live forever, have super speed/stregth, use magic etc. Also because naturally you want to know more about them, but since they're not real there are so many ways to portray them, and every way is a little different. Now that I've given you my 4 point extended response answer...:D

oh, and I would choose Shiver, Tear Collector, and Wings. One for each species ;D Congrats on 400!

Congrats on the followers and thanks for the wonderful contest. :)
ReplyDeleteI think anything supernatural is fascinating because of its' otherness.
Vampires are seen in a romantic light in some cases and then the flip side is preternatural killer.
Fairies or Fae are royal in their bearing and in some cases they watch over humankind as protector - but the flip side is that they are envious as well.
Werewolves and shifters are two natured in reality - some times they retain their human intelligence - but the flip side is when they don't and they give in to their beast.
I love them all. :)

+1 They're different. They let me imagine the world in ways that most people would see as impossible. They're also an excellent escape from the read world. AND, they provide a lot of inspiration for aspiring writers-such as myself.

I think supernatural beings are so fanscinating because, first of all, the idea of them is so darn interesting. You can't help but wonder: "what if"... what if I had these powers or could do this or that. What would life be like? Also, I love to read books that are realistic, but it is kind of nice to escape from reality every once in awhile. That is often why I read - supernatural books make that much easier! Plus, the guys in supernatural books are often hotter. :) Just kidding... kind of!

I think they're so fascinating for me in fiction because I always wish they were real. Reading stories that involve the supernatural set in the everyday, ho-hum world around me makes it a little easier to believe it's really possible.
ReplyDeleteAh, the lure of delusion.

I can't believe you asked that question xD Let me direct your attention to the phenomenon of True Blood and Twilight if you want Vampires. They have this bad-boy vibe going on but ehh fallen angels can have that too coughcoughPatchcough

Faeries are the X-factor. They can be almost anythingggggg

Wow-- great contest! So many wonderful books to choose from, and their all from the genre I love! Really, what's not facinating about anything that howls at the moon, flies around with magic, or bites people's necks? LOL. Well, okay, putting it that way it just sounds weird, but for me, if it's non-human, it's my kind of character!
ReplyDelete+5 for being old follower.

ReplyDelete+5 Old Follower- BreiaB
Great contest!
ReplyDelete+1 I think supernatural beings are fascinating because they are so different from fragile human beings. They have immortality, supernatural powers, and experience human emotions with an intensity we can't. Sometimes, the lack of human emotion makes them that much scarier/alluring.

+1 Comment - What's so fascinating about these superatural beings?
ReplyDeleteJust being a part of these strange world is fascinating to me. They all have these special qualities that make them their own person - or er, creature - and I think that's pretty cool.
Definitely Betrayals by Lili St. Crow! That series is fascinating!
ReplyDeleteBlood Promise because vampires, dhampirs rule and Strigoi drool! ;)
A third choice?? Hmmm...The Awakening because Kelley rocks!
Supernatural beings are just so fascinating because they appear to be just like us ordinary humans if they choose to, and then suddenly an extraordinary secret about them arises that just fascinates us! It's all about loving the unknown! At least for me. These creatures of myth and folklore, all that good stuff, it's just amazing to see authors bring this about in a way that is realistic, the whole concept that these beings live among us! Oh I could go on and on, but I think I wrote enough already!
I am already a follower!!
Will post this contest info on my blog momentarily! Just need to put it all together, will be up by tonight!!

Gotta speak particularly to vampires here...my specialty, LOL. Interacting with vampires in fantasy lets you explore issues that otherwise might seem too threatening, strange, or socially unacceptable. Everyone has their dark side, but it's not something you want to indulge in everyday life! Vampires are like the embodiment of our dark fantasies in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest!

+1: Be both the writer and reader to answer this question: They are feast for the imagination's appetite. Imagination needs both freedom and limits to truly experience itself. Creatures like these never cease to be what they are, vampires, werewolves, fairies. But those limits open millions of possibilities to explore: human tendencies; moral dilemas; supernatural powers and limits; interactions with each other, with mortals, with other races; limits to test; limits to give. The imagination never has to stop.

+1 What makes these supernatural characters so fascinating is the idea that there is something more to our mundane world. Just imagining the possibility that something which we shy from an believe to be non-existing being a reality is exciting.Not only that but they're romantic and different.

+1 I find supernatural stories so intriguing because I've grown up hoping these being could be real. Life would be so much more interesting if you were late to class because you had to fight a vampire or something like that.

+1 Supernatural beings are so fascinating to me because of they're not something you see in everyday life. And when you read about them, it feels like they're real and a little part of you believes that they exist. It's interesting.

+1 I love reading about supernatural beings to escape from reality. I also like to get a little bit scared(LOL) when I read, to sit on the edge of my seat biting nails(okay, I don't really bite nails but you know the feeling). Last but not least there is something really attractive about supernatural beings and you can't help but to wonder sometimes if they really do exist(even if it is just some kind of childish thought).

+1 - I personally find them fascinating because when I was little I used to believe that fae existed, I still feel that way today. As for Werewolves and Vampires, I find them so interesting because they start out as normal humans .. most of the time, and become these creatures that are totally diffrent.

ReplyDelete- The idea of humanlike creatures having powers is something that fascinates me. They are human, but due to some unforeseen circumstance, they now have super powers, or curses depending on how you look at it. How they have to balance their new identity with their old is fun to read.

ReplyDeleteWell, they're different, but since they aren't real you don't have to worry about actual things like laws and rights, and more than just humans commiting crimes. And I like to think about - if I was like them and in their situation(s), I'd be able to handle it better (with their capabilities or quirks) than my own real life. When they win in the end of the story, it's my victory too.

+1 I think what makes these supernaturals so fascinating is they embody what we secretely want to be; immortal, scary-beautiful, powerful, and mysterious. These books allow us to be those things and more for a short time, to step out of our own vulnerable skins and into something dangerous and new.

I think the reason I find most supernatural beings fascinating, especially vampires, is because they're strong, fast, graceful, most of the time beautiful, and more often than not-deadly. Yet the ones in (most of) these books choose not to be, they choose to love instead.

I think that vampires, werewolves and fairies are so interesting because they aren't something most people expect to see and so it gives them a mysterious factor, plus that makes it a good way to lose yourself into them.
