Joshua Scheele replied to the topic What is the most bizarre creature you have created for your WIP? in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 3 months ago
The Kragvora have a mixture of skin and insectoid carapace, this is because they were made from humans/humanoids with experimental crystal bio-tech. I am still ironing out the details but they operate on a hive mind. The vampiric parasitism is just a venomous ability as they can not reproduce. Their master is a…[Read more]

Those are awesome creatures! My world has a lot of dragons and dinosaur-inspired creatures.
Most of my evil creatures are all lab creations, created for a great war. The evil side lost but their creatures melted away into the shadows and have spread across the world.
One particular favorite is my Kragvora. They are humanoids…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy @obrian-of-the-surface-world
Thank you for the great advice! It definitely helped. The most common themes and words I have noticed so far are dawn, knights, hope, and champions.
A few ideas I thought of so far: The Rising of Valor, The Fight for Hope, From Desolation to Hope, The Call for the Valiant, The Valiant Few, and The…[Read more]

Yeah, certain dragons do. There are eyeless dragons much like them who live in caves as part of their ecosystem and can use sharp piercing sounds as a weapon to ward off the bludryx when they get bold with their numbers. Bludryx just use their endurance, jaws, and numbers to overwhelm large prey. Smoke and heat is the best way to keep them at bay.…[Read more]

That’s an awesome creature you have there. I haven’t gotten around to my aquatic creatures yet but I will definitely have some small to leviathan size predators. I would say most of my creatures are pretty normal-ish for fantasy.
I have a lot of underground wildlife. I would say the most bizarre of them is the…[Read more]

Thank you, Joshua! Do your dragons breathe fire? Seems like your dragons could pretty much clear out a cave of “bludryx”, if so. What would make a dragon fear a “bludryx”? Is there another quality they possess that could bring down a dragon? If a dragon belches smoke, does the smoke overpower their sense of smell? If subtle noises agitate…[Read more]

Hey Everyone!
It kinda annoys me that I have no title for my first book yet. I am hoping y’all can give me some suggestions.
It has been difficult to come up with a name because the series or specifically the first book, do not exactly revolve around one character or item.
The first series is about the journey of many races coming together…[Read more]

I love the world-building aspect as it gives me excuses to research cultures and history. Plus it is super satisfactory to see how well things fit together once they are crafted. My favorite part about writing it, is seeing how I can challenge myself to make it better.
I am but not sure what I should go for yet. I am…[Read more]

Joshua Scheele replied to the topic Good Greetings! in the forum Introduce Yourself 4 years, 4 months ago
It’s going well because God is always good.
Well, it seems I did not make the candidate list. However, I take it that it is not part of God’s current plan but I pray for a future opportunity.
Yeah, it is definitely going to be interesting as I have not read a book that has done this before. So far I have plot lines for 3…[Read more]

Welcome to the crew, Josh! I am Josh too! We Josh’s need to stick together! XD
If I had the experience, I would love to be an article writer too. I did apply for the Pinterest Manager position and am excited to see if I make it for that position.
I look forward to seeing what articles you come up with especially if it is to do…[Read more]

I agree it does. I hope to weave Christian moral applications into my story with the main focus to show why it is always important to do what is right no matter the cost. I will also be using the story to explore morals of honor, integrity, and faith and why those are important as our world is losing sight of them.
I am…[Read more]

Fantastic Article! It has given me a lot to think about for my story. It is a bit difficult to not have good people die in a world where everyone must fight to survive in a war-torn land. I have been struggling if that would be realistic if they all make it through. They will be victorious in the end but every victory has its cost and sacrifices.…[Read more]

Sorry I have not been participating much lately. By the time I come back from work, all the characters are done. 🙁 If you could save one or two every so often for me, I would be happy to do them.

Hi, I was wondering what you think of this approach to building up the anticipation and surprise to where the reader would meet the big bad villain in my first novel. Spoiler alert below.
The characters don’t see the villain in the first part of the novel, but they can feel this intense instinctive feeling as if death itself is near. They also…[Read more]
