BookDragon replied to the topic Fanatical or Fantasy? Fictional of Heretical? in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 1 month ago
This^^^
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]

BookDragon replied to the topic Word Count Question in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 1 month ago
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.

BookDragon replied to the topic Morally Ambiguous Characters in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 1 month ago
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]

BookDragon replied to the topic Dark Fantasy Among Christians? in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 1 month ago
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]

@olivia Good question! I’ll let Daeus answer the forum question since he knows that better than I do. But the emails and forum access are not connected. You’ll need to manually unsubscribe your email at the bottom of the email to stop receiving those. (:
Glad to have been with you for this last part of your journey!

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?

BookDragon started the topic Struggling with worldbuilding for a strange universe in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 1 month ago
I love fantasy novels. I love the depth and allegory writers manage to weave into their stories, and I especially love learning about God through them. However, I have always struggled to put such stories on paper. That has never been more true than recently.
I recently came up with an idea for a new high-fantasy novel. The plot is rather…[Read more]

My main character has a dilemma…
She’s part of this great group of young people who all love to write, but she’s discovered she is in a different phase of life and must move on. How can she exit the group?
Lol, all that was just for fun. I’m the main character and this is the group of writers. But ya, I’m in a new phase of life and need…[Read more]

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]

Cathy replied to the topic POV+tense for individual books in a series.. in the forum Fantasy Writers 3 years, 1 month ago
Many popular books change POV later in the series like the Divergent Series and the Percy Jackson series. It can take away from the reader’s experience in some cases but in others it enhances the storytelling.
There’s not rule either way that can’t be broken! I think if it clicks really well, adds something fresh to each book narrative and…[Read more]
