: Re: The Art of creating Subplots What are the ways of creating Subplots in fantasy genre that really catch the reader's attention? Should there be a conflict in the subplots? Please explain.

As you introduce the main character to the world, you will also introduce all kinds of other characters that interact with this MC. You introduce your setting, your world, your universe.

And sometimes the universe you create is so large that all kinds of things happen even while the MC is not around. Some of those things might eventually even become relevant to the MC at some time in your story.

You have to build up to those relevant things. And this build up will be your subplot until eventually it becomes part of the main story line.

To answer the question. Is there conflict? I sure hope so, otherwise the subplot will be tedious and boring for the reader. And how do you keep the readers attention to the subplot? Make it relevant to the main plot line.
