Which time period Do you prefer for your fantasy books?

Why not a "select all that apply" poll, or have a "no preference" selection. 

I enjoy Fantasy, Urban Fantasy and Sci-Fan.

For me, it is much more important that the worldbuiling be well-done and the Magic be some flavor of Hard Fantasy (Magic A is Magic A) - not necessarily Sanderson-level hard Fantasy (few are), but at least not Undefined soft magic (LotR, First Law Trilogy). I'm fine with most time-periods/technology levels - but I will note that the Tolkien-esque ("Human-Dwarf-Elf") worldbuilding tends to be my least-favorite (e. g. did not care for Shannara much when I tried it - but that was long ago) unless there is a very different take on the setting (I did enjoy Age of Fire trilogy by E. E. Knight, despite the Human-Dwarf-Elf-Dragon setting because of how it was Dragon PoV and the worldbuilding was very well done).

Do you have an example of what you mean?

Like, either it isn't stated, or a new one that the author invented.

Yeah, but a time period. Usually doesn’t need to be stated it just is if I’m writing the fantasy where everyone’s using bronze weapons, mud bricks, and riding chariots that would be in the bronze age, even if I didn’t stated it to be. 
 

What do you mean by one that hasn’t been created yet? Do you mean like taking place in the future? that’s on the list

I suppose such a thing could be possible if for some reason humanity invested less in eugenics with horses, I think I am starting to understand what you mean
