The Bridge

High fantasy (also referred to as epic fantasy) is a sub-genre of fantasy fiction, defined either by its taking place in an imaginary world distinct from our own or by the epic stature of its characters, themes and plot. Quintessential works of high fantasy, such as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Worm Ouroboros, have both of these attributes. Accordingly, works where the fantasy world impinges on our world, or where the characters are concerned only with adventure or personal goals (as in sword and sorcery fiction) are less likely to be classed as high fantasy.

@Fluttershy The build link was enough for me to approve it.

@badp Yeah, that's fine. But the bulk of his edits have been like... Adding a single apostrophe, or a comma.

badp

That's... not a whole lot

Fluttershy

@badp 100 of that rep is from an association bonus.

So it's more like 60 out of 241. Which is a pretty good amount. <_<

That reason is best used when, like, a suggested edit doesn't fix all the typos in a post, e.g.

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy It's made for when there are bigger problems not fixed or if ther problem wasn't really a problem.

badp

@Fluttershy You can improve and reject if you so desire

The system already prevents you from making "too minor" edits; the bar is "changing less than 6 characters" AFAIK
