Welcome to Kingdom Pen! It’s nice to meet you!

I’m hybridlore on here, or just hybrid, a Christian homeschooler, high schooler, violinist and mostly a science-fiction/dystopian writer. I’m also a book lover and I definitely try to write high-quality stories with Christian themes, too! And I’m a little more than halfway through the Fellowship of the Ring… I’ve also read the Hobbit, but that’s about it. I’m looking forward to finishing the rest of the series, though!

Aandd a few questions for you!

What’s your favorite book/series?

What’s your WIP about?

What are your other hobbies besides writing?

Hello! Nice to meet you! What sort of sci-fi/fantasy have you read? (Most important question: have you read Lewis’s Space Trilogy?)

Hmm, I’m afraid that I haven’t read Lewis’s Space Trilogy:( I have heard of it though, and I’ll probably put it on my to do. I’ve read a large amount of Brandon Sanderson’s works in both sci-fi and fantasy. In fantasy, I’ve read from him Stormlight 1, 2, and half of 3, all of Mistborn, most of Wax and Wane, Tress, Alcatraz, the Rithmatist, and many others, I’ve also read his sci-fi, like Frugal Wizard, the Skyward series, Legion, and the Reckoners, and more others. (Sanderson is one of my favorite authors)

Other than Sanderson, for fantasy I’ve read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and a few others. For sci-fi I’ve read Dune 1 and 2, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, I started a bit of Asimov, but didn’t get into it, and started Children of time, but it was too profane and gross. And I’ve read many others, but that’s a good summary.

What about you?

Worldbuilding. . . . probably more hard worldbuilding, though it depends on what I’m writing. For my current project, definitely hard worldbuilding.

Same, I’m definitely more of a thinking type, and I want everything to be explained, even if it isn’t explained to the readers.

My WIP is kinda complicated, but here’s the basic outline: in the early days of the world (Ulvrast), some spirits coupled with humans and produced the powerful race of linya. Since then, linya have been viewed as half-demons and have isolated themselves in the mountains. For the longest time, linya and humans fought each other, as each wanted to rule the country (Brening). Finally humans won, but linya just set up their own government in the wilderness (which humans tried to ignore, since they were sick of fighting). In the present time, linya are taking steps to get Brening for themselves, while humans are trying to subdue linya once and for all. Meanwhile, monsters are slowly on the move, trying to destroy Brening. (And then there’s multiple subplots, but they’re all related.)

Sounds interesting. How would humans and spirits reproduce though? Are the spirits non-ethereal? Are the Linya unquestionably evil in your world, or do they have free will? If the Linva are regarded as have demons, then are the spirits actual demons that seduced some humans?

For your last question. . . . hmmm, I’ll have to think about that, because I think there could be a world that is homological in some ways and autological in others. (Now my brain wants to know if a world could be neither, which doesn’t make sense, but if so, how it would be.)

Well, that intuition is right. Logically, if something discribes itself, then it must be autological, and the only alternative is that it doesn’t describe itself. However, this rule is true, until you consider two words specifically, autological and homological. Are these two words autological, or homological? Consider the latter first. If homological is homological, that is to say that homological does not describe itself, but homological by definition, is a word that does not describe itself, so since that’s how it is defined, that means that it does describe itself, but if homological does describe itself, but if it does describe itself the, it’s describing something that does not describe itself, so it has to be homological. You find something similar to autological, but instead of working for neither category, it works for both.

Hello! I’m Cloaked Mystery, more mundanely known as Jonas.

I’m a senior in high-school, homeschooled piano player, composer, video game designer, fantasy writer. My main project is a fantasy universe that I’m working on with my sister, @highscribeofaetherium.

Questions (hopefully unasked):

Do you write more traditional (medieval European setting) fantasy, or more unique settings, or a mix?

Do you include magic systems in your fantasy stories? (They’re one of my favorite things.) If so, do you prefer hard or soft magic systems? (Hard meaning more concrete rules.)

See you later!
