    Legends of Mythrous Strange Lands

    Bonus question, is it better for the reader to think treasure and then read the book and be like, wow no that's a dragon egg - that's cool, and get both markets of readers? Or is that a stretch?

    Legends of Mythrous Strange Lands

    I just uploaded my first book to amazon and the beauty is that you can change covers with your feelings. Here is my first cover but I don't want the reader to mistake anything. It's supposed to be a dragon egg wrapped in a pirate flag but I think the egg looks like a treasure chest. I used a...

    A world without bows and arrows

    Only answer can be found in Zac's snyder's 300. Close valley canyons are the only way in and out and the armies can wreck shop by taking out a few at a time and forcing the army to funnel. Also volcano lairs? we need to bring back volcano lairs.

    The Writer's Guide to Weapons

    I googled a bunch of midieval weapons. I'm not even sure what they're throwing around half the time but the weapon looks cool if someone googles what I call it and the words sound cooler than sword, knife. My favorite. Montontae. It's fun to say and looks cool on google images

    A world caught between two suns

    There would be two days a year (Im calling one cycle around both suns a year) where the waves would be epic on one side of the planet and the best surfers would compete with one or two dying every year the surfs so epic. include that if someone does make this idea. So pitted!

    George Martin and Killing off characters

    The only thing to realize here is George Martin started game of thrones with the intention of writing something that can never be produced by hollywood. (they did and that's another story) but originally he was pissed off at the studios for butchering his work and he wanted to write something...

    Acknowledging plot similarities?

    It could work. The key here is shortness, if the reader doesn't quite get it the first read through all the better. It's more of an easter egg for the readers. Too closely and you're going to have to start referencing things and breaking your story to support another story. netardapose wrote...

    Creating characters (and distinguishing them from one another)

    adding to what crooks was saying, sometimes the easiest thing I do when I encounter that is figure out who i would cast for that part. Anyone in hollywood or your friend it doesn't matter. What matters is getting that voice in your head. Hearing their words instead of the voice that always talks...

    Where has the science fantasy genre gone?

    It's more than that. The big six all are courteous of each other. (Disney, WB, Fox, ect) and they know disney has so much invested in Star Wars that is going to sell millions without even showing a frame or page. So the others aren't going to distribute sci-fi books, films, really any media in...
