Yes, another poll. 
Call me unimaginative, carpetbagger, or whatever, but this new poll function is so cool, I gotta try this.
When you think of fantasy, what do you come up with? How did you think of fantasy in that way? What has influenced your view of what a generic 'fantasy' should look like? This doesn't necessarily have to be what other people perceive fantasy should be, though it could be same, but what YOU perceive it to be.
1. Myths and epics (Homer, Virgil, Hercules, Beowulf, Norse sagas, et al)
2. Chivarlic tales and poems (King Arthur, Tristan und Isolde, Roland, El Cid, Spencer, Boccaccio, et al)
3. Lord of the Rings and its progeny
4. Pulp tales (Conan, Lovecraft, Leiber, Amaziing Stories or Tales, et al)
5. American cinema (Mummy, Conan, Excalibur, Dragonslayer, FotR, Harry Potter, et al)
6. Modern fantasy literature (Jordan, Harry Potter, Shanara, Witchworld, Katherine Kurtz, et al)
7. RPG novels (Drizzt, Elminster, Raistlin, Legend of the 5 Rings, et al)
8. Anime/manga (Record of Lodoss Wars, Ninja Scroll, Sorcerer Stabber Orphen, Ruroni Kenshin, et al)
9. Foreign cinema (Once Upon a time in China, Storm Riders, Brotherhood of Wolves, Seven Samurai, et al)
10 Other (let us know what it is)
Of course, it would be nice if you could explain as to how you've arrived to your choice.
