OP here, everyone's giving their shitty OC donut steel emoticons when all I asked was which was better of the two.

>lit capstone course assessing fairy tales and their morphology
>majority of the class is made up of dumb broads who don't even seem to like their major
>always talk about fairy tales in a feminist context
>finally get to a paper
>get a 100
>teacher's response is "I'm so glad someone wrote an essay that wasn't about gender!"
>tfw

POST-UH SUKSCESSU!!

Why do so many teachers say no sci-fi/fantasy?

Last year I was basically the only good writer in the class, and all I wrote was sci-fi / fantasy. The teacher loathed fantasy, yet he begrudgingly admitted I had notable mastery over the prose compared to my classmates.

Because I can only assume you're going to try and get this published, here goes nothing:

1. "I'm awake but I'm still a little groggy and stuck in a fugue" beginnings are overdone. A few minutes on Google will confirm this if you doubt me.

2. "it's hard to describe, you just sort of do it" is probably a better description than any expository, semi-lyrical horseshit you could dream up. If you can't find the words, write about the experience honestly.

3. Dreams are boring. There's a reason you have a hard time remembering them after you wake up. Stay away from them.
