    Scifantasy - combining tech and magic

    (Belated) thanks for the recs, Lunaairis! Those sound intriguing, to say the least ^_^ And good luck with your project. The portal technology used for space travel is particularly fascinating to me. Ohhh, I'll have to find that scifantasy RPG, that sounds awesome! Thanks, Reilith! And I always...

    Scifantasy - combining tech and magic

    I should have phrased that better -- I meant "based on Earth" as in "takes place on Earth," and "in some way" to include alternate universe versions of Earth (for example, Earth if history diverged in a major way at some point in the past). Does anyone know of a fantasy novel that has a modern...

    Scifantasy - combining tech and magic

    As in an original world that developed tech similar to ours today? I... don't know of any examples, honestly. I'm working on it myself (sort of; it's a little more techy than what we have, but not that much), but I'm mostly winging it. I think Brandon Sanderson will get there eventually in...

    Little Question on Mythology

    I would imagine you're fine here. Mjolnir pops up in all kinds of fiction. Hell, the Spartan armor in the Halo games is named Mjolnir! (I think they write it in all caps, but still.) Particularly with the specifications you listed, I doubt there'd be any problem. Just... maybe stay away from a...

    Assassin's Creed Trailer

    I saw the trailer before Warcraft and didn't know it was coming.... Honestly I think I was just super excited to recognize it right away. (I didn't play the games myself, just saw bits and pieces of my SO playing.) However, I think it looks awesome and I'm looking forward to it. The animus in...

    What are you Reading Now?

    I think I might be due for a reread myself! However, currently I'm reading City of Ashes by Cassandra Claire... After watching Shadowhunters I decided to give the series another try, and it's going better than the first time. (The first time I read book one, purchased book two, and just...

    Is anyone writing serials/serializing their novel on the web?

    Recently I've grown really interested in the concept of writing a serial. I mean it as an actual serial, not just serializing a novel, but I'm curious about both, to be honest. Does anyone here have experience with either of these routes? I'm curious to hear what it's been like for you. I'm...

    Writing with Color

    I've found a lot of awesome resources on Tumblr! I follow Clever Girl Helps, which posts a variety of helpful things. Writing with Color is great, I've definitely used it at least once to inform my writing.

    Scifantasy - combining tech and magic

    I recently (...ish) started combining tech and magic in my worldbuilding, and I've found that I love the setting it creates. I started on it because I realized that my world was too static -- my humans were stuck in medieval-ish levels of tech for hundreds of years. Allowing them to advance also...
