Nathair was getting bored (terrifying prospect, he knows). So he wandered off in search of Burn to annoy. He was talking to somebody new (that or Nathair just hadn’t bothered to remember the strange, masked person).

“Burn’s the only person I’ve known before…whatever this is.” Search was saying to the man.

“I’ve learned the names of the people I…[Read more]

hey. @this-is-not-an-alien. I thought this was supposed to be a one-shot story. Not Middle-Earth. lol

@kimlikesart @hannahrenner Ya’ll’s worlds look awesome!!!

*cracks knuckles* Now…to actually write my world’s worldbuilding

(THIS IS GOING TO MOTIVATE ME TO ACTUALLY WRITE THAT CASUMBRAN ENCYCLOPEDIA I KEEP MEANING TO WRITE BECAUSE I KEEP FORGETTING THE NAMES OF EVERYTHING I MADE UP ON THE SPOT FOR THE PLOT!!)

“Well Hades. It would seem most of the people in our group are gone. Why don’t you introduce us to your group.” Search smiles. “Burn’s the only person I’ve known before … whatever this is.”

Very well. This was reasonable. “I’ve learned the names of the people I was with, but as I have said I do not know anyone here personally.”

@hannahrenner – Ooh! That sounds really cool, Hannah!

I’ll just deposit this here. This is far from everything – we haven’t even gotten into politics lol. But a good start…

Name of World: This Place (Kudos to whoever gets the reference. You’ve probably figured out my plot twist.)

Time period: fantasy with modern trappings (so, phones, internet, and other pieces of modern civilization that can…[Read more]

I can’t wait to read about your worlds!

First, let me tell you what my goal is not right now: my goal is not to tear your work apart. There are parts that choked me up a bit, and I don’t think the ending is too sudden at all! Here is my goal: I want to explain how I feel as a reader. Please don’t be offended.

I think the thing that’s throwing me off a little is that I feel like…[Read more]

I love what-if stories about Scripture. In fact, I’m planning a series that plays with the apocalypse. Where I question this concept is where it concerns God’s character. Would God respond to Satan’s challenge like this? Would He even acknowledge it? Why would He?

I don’t see anything wrong with exploring life post-apocalypse, but…[Read more]

According to MasterClass, the average YA fantasy novel is about 40,000 to 80,000 words. If you plan to take this to a publisher, that would probably be a good number to shoot for. That being said, I like the other answers on here better.

I differ with a lot of people on this topic. The main reason for this is that it seems like media is saturated with horrible people that we’re told to like because their hearts are in the right place. I hate that. When I read about horrible people, I want them to get what they deserve, or to see them redeemed. When I write, I want to give my…[Read more]

Here is how I look at it: I can’t make sense of dark things unless I write about them. I certainly can’t show Christ in dark places unless I go there. In a way, literature is a mission field, which Christians can enter and tell stories of truth and redemption that lead others to Christ. Sherman Alexie wrote a really good article once called Why…[Read more]

Hey, what if Lord Amnesia throws them all into one of our characters’ worlds at some point? That could develop how the characters acted in their own element and develop worldbuilding mechanics and everything!

If anybody’s interested we could use a chart like this to introduce the world and then try to build from there?

SEARCH

Hades adjusts his mask. “I do not know any of these people personally. Do you recognize anyone here?”

“I know Search!” Burn says happily. “And then there’s Snake-Punk. And …” His brow furrows. “Search…”

“… There were still people in those stasis chambers.”

I shiver. “Can we get them out again?”

Burn kneels over the hole – hands pr…[Read more]
