Seriously, though...

Fantasy:

In a sub-genre of Urban, Epic, Chosen One, Quest, Paranormal, Euro-centric, Contemporary, Otherworldly

About Demons, Angels, Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts, Magicians, Sorcerers, Witches, Warlocks, Humans

When the main character is human or non-human or half-n-half (like coffee creamer).

And the secondary character is a hot human, non-human, or half-n-half

And the villain is an insane, megalomaniacal, just-plain-evil, human, non-human, or half-n-half.

Class, your assignment is to provide a few more sub-genres. Also, name some additional Abouts, main character types, secondary character types, and villain types.

When the list is complete, look it over and write some kind of fantasy that does not fit in the lists above.

Already written? Then provide the title, author, and a link. Explain how this book isn't using the same old tropes.

Extra Credit: Explain how the posted book that claims not to use the same old tropes still uses the same old tropes.

Can we come up with even one absolutely unique fantasy book?
