I had a creepy nightmare a few nights ago that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. I was in my childhood home, and it was during some kind of invasion. The invaders were beings from some other dimension. They were human shaped, but they were slightly twisted. Their skin was metallic and...

In my fantasy world I have one other race that coexists with the humans. They are generally pretty similar to humans but have a few noticeable differences. To start they have fur covered tails that match their hair, which can come in a few extra colors, like green, blue and purple. And their...

I've been doing some thinking on the magic system for my fantasy world, and I've started bouncing around the idea of magic given to people by their gods. Regular prayer to a god would ensure that a person keeps their magic. But the snag I'm hitting is that I have a few different religions in my...

I'm not sure if this has been asked before and just buried in the long list of threads but here it goes. I need some advice on drafting my story. I don't know if I should write out my entire story as a single rough draft, and then go back and make changes and edits and such. Or if I should...

In the world of my story I have a monarchy with a queen as the ruler. She is Queen Vivia, and she has a son that she names Sterling, so he would be Prince Sterling. And then Prince Sterling has a son that is named Sterling as well, so he would be Prince Sterling II (the second). When Sterling...

Thank you for the replies. I was rushed toward the end of my post and didn't get to add more details of my magic system. To start, it isn't the actual soul of the caster that is being used, but the power of the soul. The soul inside the caster is generating the power that the caster taps into to...

I've been working on a system of magic in my fantasy world. It isn't fully hammered out quite yet, but this is what I have so far. I would love some thoughts and opinions on this. Magic is being able to use the power of ones soul to affect the world. The magic user, called a caster, can pull...

I can't decide if this should be posted in world building or research, so I'm taking a shot here. I'm trying to come up with a quick mode of transportation in my fantasy world. They don't quite yet have the technology for planes or trains, and horsedrawn carriage isn't that much faster than...

I would like to thank everyone that has replied and answered my question. You all have been a great help to me.

Thank you very much. Maybe not, but it was worth a shot to ask. :D

I've recently joined this site and it is very useful so far. I had a question about a character in a story I'm writing. This character is a minor antagonist and when I created her I gave her chakrams to use as a weapon. I went with chakrams because I thought those are a unique weapon. However I...

I just joined this website, and I was hoping for some tips, advice and opinions. I've created a fantasy world for a story I'm writing. I think I've put a lot of thought into this world. I've even drawn out a map, although it isn't to scale. But there is one thing that has been bothering me...
