    How do you avoid having the reader assuming your character is a conventionally white person?

    Neil Gaiman had an interesting way of describing a character from 'American Gods', Shadow, his ethnicity was never set in place. Instead he made the characters say he looked white, black, Asian etc but only briefly and it was never explored. I listened to the Audio book presented him as a black...

    Prelude to BeastMagjek, Languages & Virtues!

    Greetings, It has been quite some time since I last posted on this site. Don't worry, I still get emails people posting in what fantasy world they would live in! I am writing this today and nearly night when I should be resting to ease whatever cold I have and sorting out my clothes from the...

    I seen a YouTube ad for something called Udemy, now I have seen some ads for sites like Udemy before with their streaming service for various different things like Curiosity, Masterclass and so on. I saw an ad about drawing from Udemy, I decided I was never good at drawing and felt it wasn't...

    How should i start my fantasy story?

    If I was going to write that, I would possibly try and start off the story with the protagonist walking around wishing she could go to a magical world which gives a chance to go into detail about what we need to know about the protagonist, the place she lives in, lifestyle and situation briefly...

    How will Covid-19 change fiction?

    I don't think it will change everything but it will definitely have a strong impact on a lot of people, staying home, virus, etc. It could make people write different things, events, scenes, how life is affect by something like this and how we can go back to think 2020 is a special year, it wasn't.

    How to plan a story when plot is not really that important?

    I'm not a good storyteller I believe despite my fanfiction, but I've always been inspired by stories from video games most of all, the best example I like to pick out is Mass Effect 2, the game that truly made me realise how characters can create something truly special. Let's be honest, the...

    Making Fictional Languages

    Thanks. I think I'm convinced by what you all have said, I have no skill in languages and me trying to do it would make it a death sentence to the story. Im going to write it definitely in the perspective of the main character not understanding and a lack of knowledge, only hearing theories like...

    Making Fictional Languages

    Okay, that is very helpful. And I'll be considering how to approach the languages of other races in my world since my thoughts were the Sky Elves would speak their languages to each other commonly but when the main character approached who has no idea what they're saying. They would speak...

    Making Fictional Languages

    I will admit, in my previous thread, I did admit to having a terrible understanding of the English language and understanding the details of the literature. As much as I wanted to create my own languages, I realised when having a chat with users, it wasn't going to be easy. I have tried...

    Why did you start writing?

    I was always a lover of drawing instead of writing, I loved drawing really bad comics with simplistic words and story for many years until one day when I was drawing, I had this moment where I just couldn't think or understand how to place or balance them anymore. So I quit drawing for a very...

    How did you discover Mythic Scribes?

    I typed the worlds 'human male and female elf romance novels' and one of the sites was this once, I became interested in the site and thought maybe this could be a good place to learn and share written work.
