I've recently stumbled upon an article talking about a little marine worm that happens to have its biological clock synchronized with the moonlight. I thought it would be interesting, even useful, for those mythic scribes that may happen to be writing about creatures that have behaviors related...

Thanks for your offer, Super Fantasy , but I still have to work out the many other details of my setting, like factions, characters and so on. Also, I must warn you that I don't plan to write cyberpunk stories in the usual "neon noir" style that's so much in vogue right now. I'm going to try a...

Yes, and that gives me plenty of room and elements to use when creating stories set in this world building. This (hopefully) reduces the chance of my stories crashing into narrative corners.

That's the plan, Queshire . I'll keep my characters and factions ignorant of many things, my stories "narrow" initially and my readers wondering! I just wanted to share the overall setting here and get some opinions that could help me make improvements, or even give me some new perspective on it.

For extra information, know that I started older threads on the World building forum about variants of this setting or to talk about concepts related to them, and we got a bit of a debate on each thread. About the Pyrocene Age: a previous version of the setting shown in this thread. It shares a...

After a long hiatus and some good rethinking, I think I finally got the basic setting I needed for writing epic cyberpunk/scifi stories with a dash of dark fantasy vibe. Find it in narrated form after this introduction and let me know what you think of it with your comments! Myrias aberrant It...

Sorry I didn't noticed your answer earlier, StrawberryCat . I'm glad you liked my setup! Earth hasn't fallen per se, it's "just" a much harsher place to live than it was centuries ago due to the extreme climate and the scarcity of an increasing number of resources. I imagine that the...

Good reminder. I was thinking of leaving those tasks to the dominions mainly (through their missions), although also the lineages could do environmental restoration "charity". On the other hand, in my setting is not about loving tech and hating nature, so no faction would feel contempt at all...

I've written a sort of narrated summary of my setting, in which I've tried to condense the essential major themes, plots and players present in it. The idea is to use this as my "guiding star", beyond all the research I've already done, to which I can always come back to when I get "lost" while...

Eventually, some of those web publishers will realize that there's a market for stories set in any place and culture of the rest of our planet. Just have to see the success of korean or japanese contents (movies, music, comics) for instance.

After consulting the entry for "novel" in wikipedia, I'd say your teachers were right. My mistake was thinking just in the word count limits that have been used to classify different works of fiction by their length. I concur with you, but I also see kind of a paradox there: something becomes...

Yes, web publishing is just an evolution of that serialization process, with the advantage of not being limited by the physical formats. I was trying to say that thinking in terms as "book", "novel" and such don't really fit fictions (or any other content in fact) written in digital format. On...

If there's no record or remains whatsoever from that empire, you cannot even tell that they were an hegemony or how they were known as! Also, if there's nothing left from them, is the same as if they never existed at all and, therefore, it'll have zero relevance in your worldbuilding. This begs...

I think you'll find interesting the article I link right below that talks about the web novel industry. Werewolf erotica is the latest global gig work trend. A few takeaways I've got from this article are. Pulp fiction never died, just changed its format. Stories don't have to (rather, they...

Many thanks for your inputs, now I know what to expect from this author. I'll stick to the latest versions I can get of his books then. I suppose that it's Moorcock's way of veering away from Tolkien's influence in fantasy fiction, which is still going strong even today. I read some time ago...
