I'm of a mind that the word "Epic" has a tendency be misused slightly in the fantasy genre. It seems it's come to simply mean huge word- book-counts, anymore. I like to think there are some stylistic requirements to be met as well. I've read some stand-alone books that felt just as "epic" in scope to me as several of the more massive tome-filled series. Sure... that's probably pretty rare, but still... I just think there should be a distinction between "Epic Fantasy" and "Really Long Fantasy Series Full of Giant Books." *shrugs*
