TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Character Party! in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
This seems fun, a masquerade would be cool because we won’t show the character’s face, allowing us to show them in an either more hidden light, where their true character is behind the mask, vs a more open light, where when there face is hidden, their true colors and personality can come out. I might add a character here…[Read more]

Fun idea! And nice strategy!

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 1 year, 2 months ago
Sorry, i’m not good at explaining things, especially my stories! All I know is that Earth is the same Earth, and I think that Adam and Eve don’t exist either in “stories” or anything. I think that I’m trying to make this story for the secular world to speak truth (i think sometimes if the world knows that somethings from the…

@whalekeeper @savannah_grace2009
Yeah, as you said Whale, it definitely works, I’m just trying to figure out what the actual structure is in relation to reality, as real places such as earth are mentioned. Your answers Sara are still throwing me off because “I think that Rishona is literally Eve in my story, and Earth is the same earth we know…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 1 year, 2 months ago
Yes, Rishona does represent Eve in the prologue.
Right, she represents Eve, but is she literally Eve? Is Earth here the same Earth we know, and therefore the story of Adam and Eve is really just a translation of Rishona’s story?
And I do agree that I use flowery language excessively. I love your ideas, because you have helped…

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic God in Our Stories in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 2 months ago
Great topic as always! I agree with Trailblazer’s comment, because when it comes to sci-fi/fantasy, really anything goes, you can have one God, or you could have many, or you could have none. So when it comes to that sort of thing, the question should be less of whether or not you have “God” in your world, and more of what is…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Project Elites in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
Interesting. So for the question of whether or not you want Christianity in it, all I can honestly say is that’s entirely up to you. If this were me, I would put in all sorts of Christian themes, and perhaps even correlations to the atonement, but I wouldn’t get into it deliberately. It simply depends on what you want as a writer, and who…[Read more]

No worries about the quotes, it’s legible!
Oh wow I never thought about it like that! I was just thinking that the prologue would be how the world of Andromeda took a turn and how evil was let into the world. No, Earth and Andromeda don’t represent Adam and Eve, they’re just two different worlds. I’m not sure if that answe…

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic My Work In Progress in the forum Novel Critique Requests 1 year, 2 months ago
I have just read the prologue, and yes, it is very much just the events of the fall, but still intriguing. I’m curious, since this is referred to as Earth and Andromeda, are these not just allegorically, but literally the events of Adam and Eve, just called by different names, then upon being written, oral tradition shifted it…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Hi from Sara! in the forum Start HERE 1 year, 2 months ago
Awesome! What do you like about math?
That makes sense, I definitely prefer hard worldbuilding, but when done right, soft worldbuilding can be really cool.
I haven’t read Eragon, but I’ve read some of his more recent books, like To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, but they’ve been getting increasingly more adult in content. I don’t…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Hi from Sara! in the forum Start HERE 1 year, 2 months ago
Hi Sara! Welcome to KP!
I’m the Arcane Axiom, I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and my current project is a universe I’m working on with my sister called the Septrum.
Questions!
Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (hard meaning…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic How to create new, yet beloved characters? in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
Yeah, that’s the thing with mechanics, you can force it, so sometimes you need to take a break and come back to it. This doesn’t only apply to things like worldbuilding, but really everything. Math problems I struggle with for example seem to suddenly fit together rather simply if I take a week off from it.

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Worldbuilding and Character: List of qualities vs a Good Mechanic in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
Lol! Yes, I would greatly advocate templates if they weren’t abused as much as they are.
That’s awesome you had the same thought, it’s still a rather simple what if, because it is a simple inversion of a binary concept we encounter daily, but that alone can still lead to incredible worlds of a completely different nature, with…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic How to create new, yet beloved characters? in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
Yeah, if an iterative process like that works for you, then that’s an excellent way of doing it. It would help with refinement, allowing you to perfect the writing, as long as it isn’t too much revision that no progress is made.
If you want to make a strong cast, and your not worried of over attachment, then I would say it works…[Read more]

Yes! You’ve worded it perfectly Whale! It’s definitely not something you can control, I personally find it fruitful to just talk about it, and think openly with others, but my best ideas just kind of come to me randomly.
There’s ideas that could never be on a template, like: What if there was a world where light and dark switched…[Read more]

Congratulations Freedom!!!!!!!
That’s amazing! Any completion of a book is a victory well earned, and you deserve it!
What’s your intent on publishing?

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic How to create new, yet beloved characters? in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
This is something I’ve wondered myself for a while. Because any character I develop enough to be interesting, I suddenly want to follow as a lead character. For characters important to a story, I would once again go to the idea of mechanics. I’m not sure if you’ve seen that forum I started (I can link you if you want), but I go into…[Read more]
