Ten Items that "make for a good contemporary fantasy" (Read: Cliched, irritating and unoriginal fantasy), by David Eddings
Excerpted from The Book That Put Me Off David Eddings - The Rivan Codex, In Which He Sounds Immensely Smug and Self-Satisfied
1. A choice of Christianity vs Paganism
2. A Quest
3. An All Powerful Magic Item
4. A Hero
5. A Resident Wizard
6. A Heroine
7. A Villain
8. A Group of Companions
9. A Group of Ladies for the Companions
10. Other Cast
I take issue with many of these items.
