Just sayin'...

Because you don't have half enough to read:

here's Guy Gavriel Kay on writing and reading fantasy;

and here's M John Harrison on the same subject.

Needless to say, they are not entirely compatible; needless also to say, I agree entirely with both of them. I'm like that.

Thank You

... for the links. I, too, agree with both of them, but I feel like M John Harrison is talking directly to me.

Yup, I do know that feeling. It's just complicated by the other feeling I have, that some of my favourite fantasy writing - including Kay's - would not pass Mike's filters.
