    Arguments for and against nonhuman peoples

    My world is populated with a huge variety of non humans. The major races are, 1) Humans 2) Elves 3) Dwarves 4) Mer 5) Nagas 6) Aves 7) Centaurs 8) Dracolytes 9) Orcs 10) Gargolyes I only focus on a FEW as some of my main characters have non human parentage/ancestry, and the rest I introduce...

    Psionics Vs Magic Vs Real World Physics

    So in theory you need to telekinetically push at the air to block the fire? I see... fascinating. Also using this theory, a fire shield can "block" a bolt of lightning then, using the same principles to diffuse the heat right?

    Psionics Vs Magic Vs Real World Physics

    I've been trying to craft as "realistic" battles as much as possible between my protagonists and antagonists, incorporating as much real life physics/chemistry when possible. However I am very stumped by the concept of shields. Example in theory, my psychic is blocking an earth mage with his...

    Naming Chapters how?

    I want to go this route too. Would it be too wordy? Cos I do have 4 letter words chapters

    Naming Chapters how?

    I did thought of naming the chapters after the POV of that character as I cycle 5 main POVs. Hahhaha Im just tempted by every idea and thus undecided on what is the best. Can I ask for example for you, if your chapter is named Red Sky, how did you decide on it? Does it come about because its...

    Naming Chapters how?

    Hello! As the title of this thread says, how do you guys name your chapters? Do you simply title them as Chapter 1, 2, 3 and so forth? Or do you summarise the particular chapter into 1 or 4 more words(or even longer)? Initially I just numbered the chapters, but then I thought to give readers...

    Gods, Domains and Alignment

    Neutrals were the ones who voted to destroy the losers actually

    Gods, Domains and Alignment

    Mortals in the world classified them under Light and Dark due to the last war in the heavens where the gods fought against each other. Light were the winners. Losers deemed as Dark, especially since the ringleader was imprisoned.

    Gods, Domains and Alignment

    Hello guys, I am a little stuck on the religion aspect of my world, and I would like to pick your brain on it. Currently I'm having slight trouble with dividing my pantheon into "Light", "Neutral" and "Dark" I am basing my pantheon of nine gods with them representing aspects of human/mortal...

    How much do you plan your series?

    I have a basic idea of the ending, and a basic structure of how to arrive there. But I tend to let my characters and plot develop organically as I progress. Especially my characters who might deviate from what I initially had planned for them cos it either just doesnt make sense or the...

    In a World of Gods

    In my world, the first generation of the gods are physical manifestations of the world. Sun, moon, sky, night, earth, and also abstract forces like creativity, desire, torment. After a huge war between them, they depart the earthly realm, but not before giving rise to a pantheon of deities who...

    How do you handle writing Time?

    Thanks for the tips and advises. I've thus employed several of your tactics to try to differentiate the past and present flow of time. It's harder than just plain old italics but it's more fun creatively!
