I can see your point, but, I can fantasize about alot in the modern world, that doesn't pertain to magic. Don't get me wrong, I love the concepts of magic, and the plausibilities of it's interactions in day to day life.

I get what your saying. It is still "fiction", and fantasy "setting" is what I was getting at, it's not historical fiction if it isn't in our world, or pertaining to specific historical events, (though I know there is aurguments on the topic) But is still in the medieval setting and styling. I...

Sorry, I saw this in a "simmular threads" suggestion and replied without looking at the dates.

Thank you!!! Drop all the B.S. and just write what you love. The world today is broken. Find a passion for something real, make what you want of it. No one just writes for the love of it and from a passion anylonger. Good stories stay with you. To class and sub class and worry about this data...

For me, it is setting. When I think fantasy, I don't think magic and dragons. I think medieval, dark ages, or anything prior to what would be considered "modern". Then from the time of muskets and the like generally I thought it was coined "flintlock fantasy" and so on. Although I think people...

I don't know. Having a sequel in the situation makes sense. Although, I have read older books that give hints to the world that comes after the events in the book. Moments that build anticipation for "what happens now", and there wasn't a "next book". I realized down the line that I was thinking...

I can understand the want for a pen name. Myself, I sorta fell into it, over the years I have had friends or people around that were into fantasy and magic books that the characters have the three names, a given, (the name your parents give) a taken name ( a name you make for yourself) and a...

If I loved reading a story world, I would generally start to day dream I was in the world, (adventures exploring etc.). From there, one day I wrote the day dream down and a friend and I started to talk about the stories and built onto it. My writing grew from there, learning tricks on how to...

As far as STEM in the series, there are cultures that use magic and others that don't. There are starships, blasters, bots and mechs. The magic in the series is limited to the individual(s) using it and their discipline to train. Much to the effect a scholar or a body builder would in their...

I like to hear people working "magic" and tech together. I have a sci-fi series that I am always adding to, I have incorporated forms or "magic" into it. I have honestly played with just taking the stories out or changing the elements where magic is used should I ever go to publishers.

ClearDragon coming from someone who is predominantly a sci-fi writer himself, the science is cool, and it can be fun to work your way around to making something plausible. But it is still fiction, and we do this out of an enjoyment for bringing life to our imaginations. If you want a lightning...

Prince of spires may have already said it, with they and their "strings" they have become the "Weaver's"? And I do believe you should have a pretty solid concept of the magic and it's abilities. Most can agree when someone leaves it open ended and all the sudden the super walks in and can do...

It would depend. Alot of my sci-fi characters are not saints. I tend to make characters who are people of principle and action. (Even if the princles aren't exactly perfect) and I get small bribes aren't a big deal, like they're being lazy, offer them something to get up and do something. But I...

I think it depends on your style of writing in the story, as well as the mood of the story your writing, and is up to you. If it is a deep, mystical, "enchanting" kind of story, the gibberish would make more since. If it is more light hearted then do the language of choice. if there are...

Honestly I had to look up Worf. lol
