Okay. Will do. Thank you so much for your input. :)

Got it. Will definitely take thay into consideration when brainstorming more about the setting. :) I will ensure that I will try as I might that I won't get stereotypical with the Imperial Rule. However, possibly I will post more information about the politics of this world to make sure I...

Ah, this is embarrassing, but I really don't have much access to Chinese culture and Taoism. I'm a person of color, but not Chinese or Asian nor am I Taoist. The only access I have to Chinese culture are various books on the culture for research, me being a mythology geek, and learning about it...

Oh, I will be definitely researching dynastic China along with multicultural societies as well. The cultures that are going to appear side by side with Chinese culture in Kunlun are: Korean, Japanese Indian, Middle-Eastern, African/African-American (apparently, during the Tang Dynasty, Chinese...

Oh, dear, I forgot to mention the specifics of her mercy. D'oh! :redface: Anyway, you guessed right. :) She showed mercy and allowed entrance to these people because they were facing persecution. And I didn't think about the first emperor being a relation to her, but it would fit as there were...

As the title of this thread suggests, I would like some feedback and opinions on the world I created for my fantasy story. I'm open to all suggestions. :) The world I'm created is based on the Taoist paradise of Chinese mythology, Kunlun, which is also supposed to the abode of Xi Wangmu, an...

As the title of this thread suggests, I am rather curious to see if my main cast of characters, who are of different races, is too diverse or rather, if having a lot of them come from different non-Western/non-white cultures is unfair and offensive (according to what someone who read the...

And the girl escaped the foul clutches of real life responsibilities and read the good goblin's advice. She found the advice sound and good, and vowed to herself to follow the wise goblin's words. And she also smiled at the goblin's offer for tea and entered the forum doors, the welcome and the...

Oh dear, I apologize for responding to your post so late (real life always manages to get a hold of me and refuses to let go). I'm working on an urban-fantasy/action-adventure fantasy novel that is also supposed to serve as a coming of age story as well. :)

I was searching for writing forums that were mroe geared towards the fantasy genre and I discovered this wonderful site and I decided to join. :) Very glad to be here. :) I'm a 22-year old, aspiring urban/modern fantasy writer who wishes to improve my writing, learn how to develop my...
