Light bulbs. Always good for a laugh.

Via karenmiller, who got it from a friend's blog:


How many fantasy characters does it take to change a light bulb?

Epic Fantasy Writer: How many you got?

Traditional Fantasy Writer: One. There can be only one Chosen One.

Quest Fantasy Writer: One, but s/he must form a party of adventurers to retrieve the magic pliers first.

Romantic Fantasy Writer: Two, but they must do it while sharing a passionate kiss.

Erotic Fantasy Writer: Three, but they must do it naked while sharing a passionate kiss.

Dark Fantasy Writer: One, as long as it's done with a tentacle slithering from the bottomless pit.

Urban fantasy writer: Three. A werewolf, a vampire, and a chick in leather with a gun.

Literary Fantasy Writer: One, but it will take me four pages to describe it.

Slipstream Fantasy Writer: Is the light bulb an allegory for birth or death?

SF Writer: Who uses light bulbs? Honestly...

Should read:
Two, but as he screwed in the lightbulb with his capable hands, she gazed up at him, realizing for the first time how she had come to rely on him, how she had learned to trust him, and how desolate her life would be after he went his own way. She couldn't let that happen. She must find a way to keep him by her side, until the Dark Lord lay dead at their feet...and even beyond. It was at that moment that she knew, without any doubt, that she loved him, and they were meant to be together forever.
