Hello fellow scribes! Just curious if anyone here would be interested in playing an MMO that actually lets you write stories, scribe things, be a librarian, scolar, etc? The game is Chronicles of Elyria. It is akin to Game of Thrones in terms of magic and is random what you end up with. The...

my own reservation on dwarves is such that I would assume that logically dwarves would want to settle where large quantities of stone, metals, or gems would be located and especially so if there are multiple types in one area. They would eventually dig out the materials until the point by which...

I typically remember most of my dreams and many of them are mostly apocalyptic in nature so I guess they constitute as nightmares. Sometimes they seem to include a plot and other times they often just seem to happen. They take place in all manner of times or places. The first one that comes to...

Here is a wood elf, enjoy!

Well most times soul reavers, reapers, shamans, holy types all vanquish spirits or send them into the next world or whatever the case may be. But typically ghosts are known to be able to siphon energy from people and use it in various ways from polterghist like activity to crossing over into our...

How does this relate to a fantasy story weather or nor Aussies are in the correct location on such a complicated map? Or that most other maps seem to be off by so much when it would be much easier to have a flat map instead? I not trying to be confrontational as much as I am curious.

I would certainly say that yes it is quite plausable. Think about the scene description given. You mention that the village was just attacked. The first frame of mind this character would have is thinking if the attackers have actually left or if they are going to come back. It is unclear if...

IMO it is geographically intersting to leave it though I would add a touch of shading that shows a potential connection without having it actually connect that would show that at points in time it does connect.

When I was living in the suburbs near Chicago we used to take our boat out on the Fox River and due to the glacial topography around the area the Fox was connected to multiple lakes that the river snaked through. The river could be mostly dry during the summer months and maintain a lake or spill...

I can't say I am against them, but I am also typically do not enjoy them. The first thing that comes to mind about a prologue is that they almost always come in the form of an info dump or one long chapter of tell vs show in which something has already happened that is crucial to what will...

I may not have gotten as far as you op in completing or nearly completing a novel. But like you I am revisiting my work with fresh eyes and a deeper insight into understanding what it was that I was trying to convey. Which has helped to strengthen the holes I have found and to put a new coat of...

"She was freezing, the pins and needles in her numb shivering hand could barely close to grip the tree."

It should also be noted that while he did come up with some new races, Tolkien also stuck to some traditional races like Elves, Dwarves, ant Trolls. But others he created were hybrids of other races like Goblins, Orcs, Half-Elves, And Half Trolls. With the traditional races he made them...
