How many of you have included or intend to include an origin story into your work? How have you / will you go about it? What do your origin / creation stories comprise of?
I’m toying with the idea of including a whole section of ‘creation / origin story’ into my narrative. I guess it’s just a case of ‘see if it fits’. If not, I can always remove it.
In my current WIP, the planet the story takes place on pretty much all believe that they know the truth of the universe, although it's only vaguely hinted at or explained what their actual supposed 'knowledge' is beyond a few key details. By the end of the book, the reader learns that clearly these people have no idea because some of these 'truths' get revealed as either misunderstood, wrong, or flat-out lies from the Ancients or Spirits Above themselves. They aren't all wrong, and this becomes apart of the underlying thread connecting all the novels in the series i have planned. Ill take some time and try to type up a short primer on what the agreed upon Truth is and then some tidbits on how this gets changed throughout the story and/or why it gets changed or was wrong to begin with.How many of you have included or intend to include an origin story into your work?
