Xanth: Difference between revisions

What do you get when you take a rather witty American author, create a [[Fictional Counterpart]] of the ''entire state of Florida'' (with the small change of everyone having magical powers -- a ''Magic Kingdom,'' geddit?), and fill it with various parodies of fantasy tropes (as well as literally hundreds of reader-submitted puns)?

 

 

Xanth takes place in a small Florida-shaped realm that is sealed off from the rest of Earth. On Xanth, magic is real, with its own physical laws, often based on reader-submitted (and credited) puns. Billions, and billions of puns. For example -- Pineapples? They're essentially hand grenades. Cherries (Cherry bombs) are smaller, but still dangerous. Tulips (two lips) will kiss you if you get too close. Boot Rear is a fizzy soda that, when drunk, causes you to feel a swift kick to your bottom. And beware the Catastrophe -- a plaque with the back half a cat stuck into it (a Cat-ass-trophy).
