    Medieval Mountain Warfare

    Hey all, I'm trying to realistically arm my human army that's stationed at a fortress at the base of a mountain. They're there primarily to keep enemy orc forces from coming across on foot and frequently travel up onto the mountain to route the enemy or chase them back to the other side. My...

    Places to Post Your Serialized for Free?

    Does anyone have any websites or platforms where you can publish your work for free consumption? I know of Wattpad, but that seems to be geared toward a younger audience.

I’ve got...

    What Monsters Would You Like to See More in Stories?

    Thank you all so much for sharing your thoughts. The collective feel that I’m getting is that the type of monster is much less important than a) the character/characterization of the monster and b) the authenticity of its nature and how that relates it to the rest of the world. This latter part...

    What Monsters Would You Like to See More in Stories?

    I’m drafting a fantasy story from the perspective of the monsters and while I’m brain storming I thought I’d reach out to my fellow fantasy writers and see what monsters interest y’all the most? Are there any particular creatures you’d like to see more in books? Anything with an old favorite...
