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.

@hybridlore

Hmmm, have you read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini? It’s semi-clean, but still very adult at the same time, but it has some fascinating concepts.

Summary:

During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she’s delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22 @freedomwriter76

I know, I’ve been really bad with the RP, sorry😅 I’ve been doing alright, it’s been quite busy, I’ve trying to get into freelance business lately, so that’s been taking a lot of my time. How about you?

Uvah sneezed, slamming her head into the woman, causing her to stumble back. “Run!” she cried,…[Read more]

@pixie

Thanks! I would be happy to answer any questions about it, or even to just discuss those different concepts!

Yeah, that makes sense, so they follow the classic fallen angel arch type, they are cast out, disembodied beings that can possess other bodies. I really like that you put emphasis on the idea that having a body is a responsibility…[Read more]

@pixie @keilah-h

We’re discussing the concept of 4 dimensions? I’m tracing your conversation back to understand what lead to it, and your getting me excited. So you want to make a Interstellar inspired story with more Christian themes mixed in, and now you’ve mentioned bring up the 4th dimension.

To clarify Keilah, extra spatial dimensions in…[Read more]

@pixie

That’s very true, how much do we really know? I think one of the few things we can know is that for now there is a lot we don’t. There is so much in all creation, and it really is foolish to believe we have any idea how it all really works, unless it is revealed unto us by the Father. But it is very fun to entertain different ideas and…[Read more]

@pixie

Probably hard; I enjoy whimsical storytelling, and have indulged in it. Off-the-cuff, in the moment stories. But when it’s something I really care about, I have to organize the ideas, compare them to my fundamental beliefs, figure out how they correspond to God’s way of thinking… I admire Tolkien quite a bit, even if I don’t plan to worldbu…

Hi Ariana, welcome to KP!

I’m the Arcane Axiom, I love math, finding fundamental divine truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and I’m currently working on a multiverse with my sister called the Septrum.

Your faith in the Lord is so beautiful! Your sister is in our prayers; God really is…[Read more]

@magicalstories0611

Fun idea! Personally though, I would ask if it needs to be a Rapunzel retelling. It is obvious that it isn’t a retelling of the classical Rapunzel story, but specifically the film Tangled, because it’s missing pretty much all the original details that really defined the story of Rapunzel. It is clear where your deriving a lot…[Read more]

A forum all about questions… where have I seen that?🤔 Eeh, probably nowhere, right?😂

I would say that it depends on who you are. If you are say, Brandon Sanderson, then handling 10 books at a time won’t overwhelm you, but we are not all Brandon Sanderson. If you are J.R.R Tolkien, then using your life to perfect a single project is won’t cause…[Read more]

@folith-feolin

Interesting, that makes a lot of sense. So it was basically a different dialect of Latin from a different era.

@folith-feolin

Yeah, Nelson’s I just like sharing, it’s a topic that I don’t really think needs to be extrapolated any further, it simply needs to be known.

That’s really interesting, is that actually how it was historically? Did that actually serve any purpose to pronounce words differently when sung? Now I’m just thinking of worldbuilding…[Read more]

@folith-feolin

Oh no! I’m so sorry that happened, it’s so annoying when KP does that😅

That’s cool, I’ll have to look into that! Is it sung in French? Because that would be cool to listen to.

3D modeling sounds really cool, I’ve always wanted to get into it myself, but have always been too worried about crashing my computer. Are you required to…[Read more]

@folith-feolin @kathleenramm

Hi Folith, Hi Kathleen! How’s life been on your sides? I really don’t enjoy pestering people, but I’ve been wondering if either of you are intending to continue our conversations. It has been well over a month now, and the longer you don’t do something, the less likely your going to do it. I understand completely if…[Read more]

@calyhuge

Greetings! I’m the Arcane Axiom. I love math, searching for fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I’m currently working on a sci-fi/fantasy multiverse called the Septrum.

My story is about a young princess “trapped” in a tower who embarks on a journey to defeat a half-dead evil queen and free her land from a emb…

Happy fourth of July!

Since it seems that it is going to be quite a bit longer than I expected for a few of the conversations I’ve been in to continue, would anyone like to discuss any other theological subject?

What about some of these:

What happens to those who don’t have the opportunity to learn about the Savior in this life?

Where is the…[Read more]

@ava-blue

Of course, happy to help! That’s all good XD! We’re all on our own paths towards our Savior!

Thanks! I’m really glad that I’ve been able to break some of those misunderstandings, there is really so many similarities between our faiths, and if we simply take a moment to understand one another, we can find strong neutral respect! I’m…[Read more]

@esther-c

So this comes to the problem of originality. You want to know the secret? It’s all been done. No matter how wildly you change the story, you will find parallel elements to some other existing story, and despite common belief amongst many writers, this is ok. Don’t sacrifice your creativity for the sake of originality.

Both examples…[Read more]
