    An old writing I recently edited for garble... maybe it will turn into something

    A portfolio of small works and writing exercises. This features aspects of the world building I am currently working on to complete a novel or perhaps a series of novels. Many of the writings will follow a gentleman named Hasser. He is a priest, a student, and an adventurer. A Colorful Situation...

    Why arent story settings/worlds like Shadowrun, Bright, or Avatar: Korra where scifi-fantasy blends

    Personally, iam kind of tired with the basic fantasy and scifi setting in the past (medieval) or the future (scifi). When I saw Bright, that concept of modernized fantasy setting was a breath of fresh air (although it had a LOT of stuff to be worked on). I mean how cool is it to see an high elf...

    Hi, I'm new to Mythic Scribes and, as a young author, I am trying to write my first novel. Genre: Fantasy. I have always really enjoyed reading fantasy novels, and would love to know if anyone has written a fantasy novel before? I'm really enjoying the process so far, but I'm not sure I'm doing...

    Hello, everyone! I'm new here. not only to this forum, but forums in general. i'm a relatively social person irl, but i tend to be more of a reader/lurker than an active participant online.

    Chapter 27 - The Growing Spark

    Once back at her house, Ashlyn had Damien lay down on her mother's sofa. His head rested back as Ashlyn knelt down beside him. "Perhaps you should open your shirt," she said, resisting the redness creeping into her cheeks. Giving a pensive stare, Damien undid the buttons on his shirt and let...

    Super Violette: Burnt Sky

    This a preview of Book 2 of a super hero series: Book one is being proofed now, and still has some edits to do but is 98% as far as I am concerned. Book 2 I am furiously writing right now, and this is the first pass writing... so its a bit skeletal. The second pass is when I put in more...

    What are all the races of elves?

    Hi, I have no clue if this is the correct place to put this, but, I'm making a fantasy game with humans, elves and maybe orcs. Problem is, I don't know the races of elves. All I know are high elves, wood elves, snow elves, dark elves and void elves. What are all the races of elves?

    Chapter 23 - The Raven's Circle

    Ashlyn reveled in the sound of the rushing stream, the pure light glinting off the water. She had missed this: standing in the cool riverbed as the current gently pushed against her ankles. The pebbles and stones beneath her feet were smooth, softened by moss. Bending down, she picked up a...

    Creating Fantasy Characters

    What approach do you favor more, using existing characters like 'werewolves' etc, or creating your own characters? Do you find yourselves liking a book that shows deep knowledge of it's genre by using characters in folklore and all, or do you appreciate originality more?

    Magic Language?

    I'm wondering what makes more sense to use. Let's say somebody is a magician of sorts and uses a certain phrase to summon their power. Should it be based off the language I'm writing in, which is English, or should I make it up entirely? That might mean I have to actually flesh out a whole...

    Back in the comfort of home, Lanara tended to the bloody wound on Damien's cheek. Around them, the winter feast had turned into heavy celebration. Kallus, Naelen, and Calda all sat by the fire to warm themselves. Calda had a wool blanket wrapped around her shoulders and a mug of hot tea...

    Floating islands and days lengths

    In my d&d homebrew, the story takes place on a series of floating islands about 6-10 miles high. This is a fantasy world that doesn't work like a real planet would, but the sun does rise and fall like normal, 24 hours. My question is would days on the islands be longer/shorter than somewhere on...

    Some of my Fantasy/Scifi/Humour works

    I've been churning cra... er, highly intelligent writing for a while now, so thought I'd share some of it here. Why not already. I mostly write fantasy and scifi, though with some tongue in cheek humour thrown in as well. Also some works that are quite adult. And I don't generally hold...
