Hooked on fantasy art?

Interesting. There are bits of it that don't quite scan. I can't put my finger on why in many cases, but one that stands out to me is the use of the definate article with fantasy. 'The fantasy' suggests a specific fantasy, rather than a specific type of fantasy. FANTASY in capitals just irritates. For the American or English reader you can achieve the same effect by simply capitalising the start of the word:
'fantasy' is an abstract noun. By capitalising 'Fantasy' you change it from that very general abstract noun, into a proper noun, a name. 'Fantasy' becomes a genre, an art-form or a category.

Be careful accepting proofreading advice from someone who mis-spells "definite"...

Luv ya really Dana
