Patricia C. Wrede's Worldbuilding Questions

[jhmcmullen]

Mods, please remove this if it's a common repeat or if it's in an FAQ that I haven't found. I haven't seen it yet, and I think it might be useful to some people.

Patricia C. Wrede has a set of fantasy worldbuilding questions that you might find useful. These are not, "Oh, you must answer all of these" questions but rather, "Here are some questions you might ask to shake yourself out of assumptions" questions. If you don't need one or any, skip it.

It is, as she says, a starting point for you to compile your own list of questions.

I remember Wrede from way, way back. She had several intriguing fantasy novels set in the same world.

I've seen that list elsewhere but not here. It's a bit like writing prompts for world building. Thanks for the post.

Yeah, I think I vaguely remember that set of questions, but it was one of things from so many years ago, I had forgotten about it.
