    Yeah, that's exactly what we've got to do!

    Magic Idea Criticism

    My story's magic revolves around the soul and the heavenly bodies too, it's a brilliant idea and as far as I know, it's rarely used in stories.

    Non-human Main Characters?

    I second what writeshiek33 said.

    Why do so many people use elves and dwarves?

    I think it's laziness, yeah they may be overused but if you can add a few tweaks here and there, they might just work. I personally avoid using your generic fantasy races and I've decided to come up with my own :)

    Bartering or currency?

    I say with great civilizations come great systems; currency is a definite.

    Dealing with Dumbledore

    My story includes a mentor of some sort. He's not your typical Dumbledore though. Well to start off, he is young; just a few years older than my main character, he is still learning, he shares his limited knowledge with my main character. I'd say it's all about the tweaks, in most stories, you'd...

    Dream Sequences

    Dreams shall play an important role in my story too, my main characters experience very vivid, bizarre dreams that they struggle to distinguish from reality and fantasy.

    Expanding My Vocabulary!

    We must remember that if we use words that are completely unheard of like in this case, those new words you've been learning then people are going to have to read a dictionary as well as your writing simultaneously. Think about it.

    Angels as a race in my world?

    I really like these ideas guys. These winged-beings or should I say the Seraph race shall play a major role in my story. I will really take into consideration on the ideas you have all suggested, now to work on their typical characteristics.

    Angels as a race in my world?

    @demented-tiger: It's similar but at the same time, quite the opposite. Final Fantasy is a series of fantasy video games each set in a different world, mine is a bit like the one in Final Fantasy X and XII. Oh thanks for the video.

    Angels as a race in my world?

    So I've been in doubts as to whether I should include angels as a race in my world, they wouldn't be called angels or serve the same purpose as angels... so we'll water them down to winged-like beings, my world is a bit like Final Fantasy XII's only that it isn't completely, I did say it was...

    Starting your story within a dream

    So I've just about completed the skeletal structure for my story-eth. I've got a great handful of characters, places and events and what not. Though I shall continue to develop-eth my story, I haven't really thought about how I'm going to write it... It shall start within a dream and that's for...

    Creating Interesting Cities

    At the moment I see The Imperial City of TES: Oblivion and the Imperial City of Archades from Final Fantasy 12. I will need to move far from these... I've got an idea of what my cities shall look like, I plan to develop them for a long time. My first concept for the five super cities were for...

    Is magic always "Fireball Throwing"?

    My magic is mystery, spirit and pizazz rather than fire or deep-freeze. The magic in my story shall have something to do with the soul, a planet (yet to be named) and fireflies... Though fire-ball throwing and what not shall be included in my world, the main focus for magic is the mystery of it.
