I couldn’t help but notice you guys talking about cubing! Me and Min chatted about it a little while back. I’m about the same in terms of average and personal best: 30 and 17, though one time I got 12, but that was on a specific scramble a friend wanted me to do, so it doesn’t really count. I haven’t been…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

😅😅😅 About 3 years. since Covid really😂

@grcr

I really love the depth of your cultures! It all sounds so cool, and I am definitely still interested! How did you come up with your conlang? I really like it!

Thanks! Which one?😅 They each have their own, though I’m assuming you mean Lasi’el? Lasi’el is the most developed of my languages, and one of my favorites. I wanted a language made of…[Read more]

@hybridlore

No worries! I enjoy long responses, but I’ve been busy the last couple days and have been struggling to get just a few posts done.

I honestly haven’t spent too much time worldbuilding because I’m a hard pantser XD but I could definitely see myself working on some sort of solar system with extreme worldbuilding sometime soon. I’m just…

@highscribeofaetherium

Oh, my apologies! Breaking people was never my intention😂

@grcr

Thanks😅 Yeah, there’s a lot of unique perceptions of reality that would occur in each of them. Era five specifically though, I realized would create a very sad worldview in everyone, and it would become very worldly for many different reasons. So I’m thinking…[Read more]

@grcr

Sorry this is so late of a response.

Well, what I meant was, in Extroit (and probably Ethrin too) there are stations areas you can go to that, like, can literally portal you into… well… McDonald’s Island. Have you ever seen McDonald’s Island on the map (irl)? It’s a tiny island-thing near Antartica… well, thats where the portal sends the c…

Your welcome! Sure! (I’d love to hear about your universe too, if you want to tell me about it! :D.)

For sure! I would love to talk about the Septrum!

I like the names! And all the different peoples sound fun. What were you alluding to when you said they could access earth? I’m intrigued. Also, Conlangs!!! Are you a genuine conlanger? I love m…[Read more]

@grcr

Hi!! (sorry for the wait)

No problem, I gave you a longer one😄

A universe? Wow, thats cool! My siblings and I are trying to further develop a world, but hey! A universe is really awesome!

Thanks! Can you tell me more about this world your working on?

mmm… I like hard worldbuilding.

Yeah, me too. Soft worldbuilding has great value if done r…[Read more]

Hi Julia! 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 I’m currently working on a universe with my sister called the Septrum.

Questions:

Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (Hard meaning more concrete rules for the readers to…[Read more]

@rattie

I shall now introduce myself to none other than a rat. 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 I’m currently working on a universe with my sister called the Septrum.

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

@godlyfantasy12

Yeah, absolutely. As I explained to HybridLore, I still personally don’t like to use templates, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be extremely useful, and if used correctly with a good mechanic, it can speed the process up significantly. And a template that still keeps things open as you say I think would work the best.…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Hi! Yeah wow, it has! It’s been really good, actually. We started school back in May. My WIP Healer is now above 50,000 words, too! Also I’m getting ready to do an online writing summit tomorrow and Tuesday, so that should be really cool!

That’s an awesome accomplishment! good luck with the writing summit!

Yep, worldbuilding is…

Hi Solfyre! Been a while, how’s your summer been?

Yeah, defiantly, it adds a level of believability when you ask those questions, and then ponder on the natural repercussions. I think another layer of it as well is to think about the whys and hows of your mechanic, but strangely enough, I think those might be more secondary to…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Lol, that’s fair, glad it makes sense though😂

@hybridlore

Yeah, it’s ok to to use an algorithm every now and then. I personally shun it more often than not in preference of finding a mechanic, and then building off of it in all directions, thus finding all the aspects and eventually answering all the questions the sheet system wanted you to answer, but in a far more natural way that feels…[Read more]

If anyone enjoys writing competitions, I just won one ran by the Author Nicole Born with the prompt ‘Yesterday’, and there will be more in the future.

Here’s the link to her newsletter ( h ttps://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/477200/91068962383594694/share ) (delete the space after the h)

My story will be featured there Sunday morning if your…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

You didn’t tag me, but I thought I’d bump in😅

So, if we are accepting the generally accepted definitions at least, this would formally be called a “magic system” even though in world there is a distinction. This happens a lot in fantasy actually. Tolkien for example did this, where the hobbits talked of elf magic, but to the…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Well, I don’t think the fourth will be so dark that you can’t read it. Sanderson is very tailored to his different audiences, I’m just assuming he’s going to dig a little more into into it theme-wise, and all the stakes will all be set out. Again though, the third is significantly less dark in my opinion, which is ironic with the…[Read more]

@hybridlore

No, I haven’t–what does semi-clean mean? Lol, I guess what I mean by clean is no sexual stuff, language (depends on the words they’re using and how often it is), and I’m usually ok with violence if it’s not extremely graphic. And I also usually don’t read books with dark magic or possession and stuff like that, if that makes sense.
