Many people seem to think that fantasy literature must be set in other
worlds, real or imaginary, but many of the best ones are set in our
world. Most have a mysterious relic (object, site, or person) from the
past.

Some of my favourites in this genre are here

"Fanyasy"?
Is "fanyasy" a different thing than fantasy, or the same?
"The same, actually."
In the sense of outlandish stories you tell people hoping they will believe them, or pleasant fictive dreamscapes of another world?

Many people seem to think that fantasy literature must be set in other
worlds, real or imaginary, but many of the best ones are set in our
world. Most have a mysterious relic (object, site, or person) from the
past.
Some of my favourites in this genre are here

"Fanyasy"?
Is "fanyasy" a different thing than fantasy, or the same?
"The same, actually."
In the sense of outlandish stories you tell people hoping they will believe them, or pleasant fictive dreamscapes of another world?
"---"
"It's a subtle difference, actually."
Too subtle to detect?
(---)
"Oh, no."
You're sure it's not like what they call "logical hair-splitting"?
Does it have something to do with what is called "yay"?
"Why yes, it does."
Fantasy literature... not so much.
"Who do you think you are, Robert B. Jordan? Oh wait... scratch that."
"And furthermore, cocaine and fantasy have a lot to do with each other."
Not in this sense, no, not in the sense of the literary genre.
"Okay, just spell it 'fantasy' then."
I do, that's the only way I'd spell the word. (No, "fantasia" is another word.)
"What's a fantasia?"
A sort of choreographed group delusion, I think.
"I don't think so."
Maybe you're right.
"You just can't argue with 'fanyasy'."
Perhaps that is what turns out to occur, yes.
"How do you mean?"
"Nonsense words" permit you to proceed with them as one likes, generally. "Fantasize".
Sometimes people call that *ignava ratio*, I guess.
"I don't believe you."
Do you think it would be up to you?
Another word: *Unsinn*.
"I like it."
You're crazy, a little.
"The runabout inference ticket" was an idea logicians batted around in the late 1940s, etc.
Again, about made-up mince-words like "fanyasy"...
