Fantasy is an extremely broad genre, that is actually applied to anything with magic. Even if that thing has none of the standard themes of fantasy. Like, say, cyberpunk.

Genre Mashup - War of the Worlds + War of the Ring
I have gotten very tired in recent years of typical fantasy, most especially epic fantasy. (That is the main reason I avoided Game of Thrones.) And, yet, I cannot shake the awesome appeal of so many fantasy elements. I've been scratching the itch by mashing up fantasy with other genres. Seven Kingdoms is a mashup of fantasy and supers.
Today, I'll talk about mashing up fantasy with an alien invasion. Yes, this was in part inspired by going to see Cowboys vs. Aliens this weekend. But, it also was a setting concept I toyed with many years ago.
