    Searching for someone to nitpick my worldbuilding

    Thank you very much for the responses. I didn't want to write too much in my initial message, but I already know what my story is about. More specifically, I started writing the first draft (didn't finish it) and hit a wall numerous times. First, the world building was flat. I had kingdoms and...

    The Lord of the Rings

    I haven't read the books, so I have no point of reference. But I had watched an interview on YouTube where Jackson had pretty much said he had no idea what he was doing with the Hobbit. Another thing that's really stuck out to me is the fact that there's so much CGI in the Hobbit... It's painful...

    Searching for someone to nitpick my worldbuilding

    Hello. I'm posting this here, uncertain where else to post it. I initially thought that I was searching for a developmental editor (note: the book hasn't been written, yet; but the worldbuilding has been completed). After asking in a writing group on Facebook (and receiving countless friend...

    !?!

    Hopefully, not all !?! at once. :LOL: I've heard that nowadays, this is looked down upon. However, each time I read a book, if I read: "Get out of here!" or "Get out of here," he yelled, or "Get out of here," he smashed the door. Well... The first one is the one that's going to yell at me.

    3 MC discussion

    Hi! :) I'm also writing a story with 3-4 MCs. I began the story with one of them who was initially the protagonist, but in time, the other characters appeared and gained great significance almost to the same level as the initial protagonist. What I do is I change the POV depending on which...

    Shameless Self-Appreciation Thread

    What a beautiful thread! Last week, I had minimum progress on my getting stuck at the mid-point of my story, but! I kept my focus on it. I discovered two major plot holes in my earliest chapters, and I had to delete (hide in a folder) the latest ten chapters as my characters had gone... out of...

    WRITING a magic system.

    So, all of your magic is elemental magic. I have a few questions about it. When you say "elemental magic," do you mean fire-earth-water-air? You said that the environment affects (decides?) what magic is mostly used (do I understand this correctly)? Can you give a specific example? I can figure...

    info dumping character?

    If this is how their personality is, then simply stay true to that character and portray them as is. You can, of course, have other characters cut them off because they already know X and Y and can't keep up with listening to a broken record.

    My top three tips for world-building

    Thank you for the tips. As I write my first book, it's also my first time building a world on such a large scale. Recently, I realized I was so caught up on getting my characters to X destination that I completely disregarded parts of the world building in order to get them there faster. But...

    How much do you delve into the darkest aspects of the Fantasy Worlds you build?

    I absolutely love the story that I'm writing, but I've never read a dark fantasy book before. I always believed that I can't stand heavy concepts in storytelling. I guess, all I have to do now is pick a dark fantasy book and find my new favorite kind of stories.

    How Can I Keep My Writing Ideas in One Place Without Losing My Flow?

    I feel like this question was branched out to several different questions, and I don't know which one to answer. 1. Even while I was at work, if a random idea popped in my mind, I always had a small notebook and a pen to write it down. Then, went I went home, I organized my notes to wherever...

    theoretically, how would you kill a god?

    Hm... :unsure: Can this God read minds? Perhaps the protagonist could somehow overpower their brain activity? :ninja: (I have no idea; it's just the first thing that came to my mind) Is there perhaps a potion/item that can prevent a God from healing? Or a weapon that can mortally wound a God?
