WARS

[SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨]

Also to clarify, I’m working on figuring out wars for Outcry (my main book with Sef and Lilitu and all them). What I just posted was for that book and NOT a new one. Sorry if that was confusing!

It’s interesting and seems well thought out. I really like the detail of the Erstonian court voting on one of the King’s brothers if the prince isn’t 21. Things like that make by brain excited for some reason lol.

Is Wadsat involved in the conflict at all?

This is really good, Sara!! It’s not like super confusing with a ton of political stuff going on that doesn’t make sense, but it’s not so simple that it’s not realistic. I actually think it’s really realistic and something I could totally understand happening in our world (and I think it actually has before… War of 1812 anyone??)

I don’t really have anything else to add! I can tell you’ve spent a lot of time on this and it’s been fleshed out really well!!

Thank you!!!

I like it because it makes sense–they don’t want a child ruling their country and it’s something that I haven’t seen a lot of fantasy books incorporate.

I’m still fleshing out how Wadsat connects to all of it. I’m thinking that maybe some Paynes are so poor that they have to sell themselves into slavery to pay the bills, and some come to Andromeda to find work.

In this new draft, I’m adding a twist–Paynes aren’t the only ones that are poor. Some Andromedans are poor as well, but Paynes are the new immigrants that can be exploited by the rich.

Also–I’m changing something else too. The Paynes are now a seperate race, and my book won’t mention humans at all. They’re simply a race of people that don’t have powers, not a mix of Andromedan and human.

There’s several reasons why I did this. I’ve realized that the conflict where literally everybody hates Paynes seems a little extreme and doesn’t make a lot of sense, plus it’s very cliche and a lot of other fantasy books have this setup where the powerful people HATE the people without powers, and the people without powers are being exterminated or worked to death. I want to make it so that other non-Paynes struggle too. I just feel like it makes a lot more sense that way.

Thank you! I’ve been working pretty hard on the setup and worldbuilding. Recently I’ve read a couple fantasy books that quite frankly belong in the trash. The worldbuilding was horrible, the characters were so annoying and it inspired me to write better than that XD

Thanks for the encouragement!!!
