It seems to me that there is still a very large contingent of readers that bash stories as "unrealistic" or over the top in magical contexts, which is enough to make me want to tear out my hair and scream, "DID YOU MISS WHERE IT'S FUCKING MAGIC?" It's a story, anyway, and I've seen plenty of stories where magic is involved in breaking the usual obstacles to the hero's goals (often sex, but also money and power..even a revolutionary goal or agenda of some kind). Most people don't seem to have trouble with this concept, but there are some folks who seem to dismiss or attack stories as "unbelievable" when magic is involved. Um, no, this kind of story is escapist fantasy on my part and either magic, tech, or both is used to overcome the usual silly hang-ups that society rams down people's throats. Anyway, end of rant. It's just annoying when people overlook basic details such as the story codes and description of MAGIC.
