Although Critiques is also a good one to go on for particularly, well, critiquing your writing.

A conlang is a Constructed Language. A language that is made by one or a few people for some purpose. Tolkien popularized conlanging for things like fantasy.

@jonas

Just so I know, where would the best place on the forum be for that? I’m stilling getting used to everything.

Hmmm, there’s actually quite a few places. You can go through the General Writing Discussions page, and look through the most active forums, like the Place to Share… is one, but I would probably make my own on General Writing D…[Read more]

With Dynamism, it will either be the same direction as the original object or the direction of the user’s choice. My decision will probably be based on balance. I would say Dynamism is probably the most powerful ability, so it might make sense to give it that limitation.

That makes sense, I would lean towards the limitation as well. It m…[Read more]

Wow, that is a very interesting system. I think I get it, but that might be the most technical magic system I’ve ever seen. I like how it seems that you’re basically inventing your own science for your world.

Thanks! That is basically the idea, all conventional physics I threw out the window, not to be replaced by absurdity, but simpl…[Read more]

Ok, now for yours, these sound like really fun magic systems! I can definitely see the Sandersonisms, but they’re still definitely their own thing.

The Crystal magic system reminds me a bit of my own, as it is about crystalline structures manipulating fundamental aspects of reality. I do have a question on Dynamism though, when kinetic…[Read more]

I actually started a magic system forum a while back, but it fizzled out.

Personally, I’m very much a hard magic system kind of guy. As to the magic system of my and my sister’s universe, I’ve found it hard to properly approach in explanation, because there’s so many different layers to it, and when I try to explain…[Read more]

My favorite fantasy concept would probably be something from Sanderson’s work. I think the whole background of the Cosmere is really cool.

I agree, I’m not sure what specifically I would choose, but Sanderson really has master the art of creating a good mechanic in both worldbuilding and character.

my favorite one I’ve come up with is pro…

We got another Sanderson fan, let’s go!!!!

Hello, 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 making with my sister called the Septrum.

Questions!

Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (Hard meaning more concrete def…[Read more]

@kydonandwillow

Cool! My brother is an engineering student, and he is making a sci-fi space fantasy book too! *whispers* I don’t understand half of it!

That’s really cool! Is he getting into the more engineering aspect with spaceships and stuff? Is he exploring other sci-fi concepts with a little more rigor, like with physics and biology?

Soft, m…

@acancello

Thanks! That’s good, thanks for the input!

@mineralizedwritings

Yeah, I think tricks are funner anyway, especially when you can intuitively tell what’s going on. Do you know many patterns?

Yeah, it’s basically the annoyance of having to flip them individually, doesn’t seem to hinder the best cubers though, the record being .75 seconds!

Yep, there’s been the famous 4d cube online for a…[Read more]

@acancello

Awesome! That sounds good. Do you think the prices seem fair enough?

@highscribeofaetherium

😂 Alright, fine with me!

btw, I will be happy to help anyone with their conlang:)

@everyone

Hi everyone! I started an art freelance! I will edit any image with customized mandalas, or as I like to say, I will mandalize any image! Or I can just make new custom mandalas without any image editing as well. Since this is a writing forum, this might be fun for book covers, character or concept art, or aesthetic boards. Make sure to…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

It’s so true. It’s a principle that applies to everything I suppose, but it feels like a particular struggle with cubing. I need to start getting into algs for f2l, and my cross is ok, but my lookahead sucks, except for very occasional moments in the middle of a solve.

I do solve pyra and skewb, but neither really intrigue…[Read more]
