About

Tower of Light is a free online fantasy magazine. I will publish almost any kind of fantasy especially stories that blend genres, such as dark fantasy, science fantasy, and superhero fantasy. Sword and sorcery and traditional fantasy are fine as long as they have fairly original plots and - more importantly - deeply interesting characters. I might also consider stories that are closer to science fiction as long as they have a mystical or spiritual element. Also, I want character-driven stories. Yes, all stories are about characters, but there are differences between plot-driven and character-driven stories. For a story to be character-driven, the character must be more important than the plot. I want to explore the events and ideas of the plot-line through the eyes and feelings of the character.
