@Rolena-Hatfield No, it’s for a fantasy newspaper/blog series I’m starting which make fun of various fantasy cliches. Magical swords is my first one; here’s what I’ve written so far (though it may change before all’s over).
Ever hear about Flameslayer? A great, two-handed black blade, quenched in dragon’s blood and of unbreakable steel. It, or…

Ok, magical swords. Kirin, my realm leaper from (currently, though the title isn’t set in stone) the New Fantasy Times is researching an article on magical swords and telling the truth behind the legends. I don’t know if it will exactly be satire, but it will have a sarcastic tone. Anyway, what magical swords, or otherwise unbreakable or glowing…[Read more]

@anna-brie Ah, American elections. Let’s see. 🙂
First off, the government is broken down into two main groups, the nation, and the state. On the national level, we elect a president, a house of representatives (the amount of representatives being proportionate to the population of the state) and a Senate, which has two senators for each sate. At…[Read more]

@bluejay I know drop bears aren’t real…apparently, according to another Aussie friend of mine, it’s something some Aussies try to trick newbies with. Though it’s a quite frightful animal (if it were real) that I’m going to put in a book someday…a writer’s revenge for the single day I actually did believe her. 😉 It’s somewhat similar to what…[Read more]

Also a question for the Aussies (@bluejay, @anna-brie) any of you care to explain what a drop bear is? 😉

Some more fun stuff…I’ve six pages worth, but have cut down to the interesting parts while keeping most of the categories so anyone interested in worldbuilding can see all the different things one can address (and I’ve not been exhaustive in the least; every month or so I remember something I’ve forgotten to add).
Traditions and ways of the…[Read more]

@dbhgodreigns Realms Reporter…that could work.
My website is http://writinginthelightpublishing.com/ Though I’ve not written the stuff about the realm leapers or yet. That’s something I’m getting ready and will be putting up towards the end of this month. 🙂

Let’s see; I’ve three…no, four fantasy worlds. But my most extensive one is Cember Earth.
There are 6 official Cember Earth nations, five in a landmass plus an island nation offshore (and a hidden, currently undiscovered city-state deep into the desert in the east.) Many of these nations are monarchies of various sorts, though some kings have…[Read more]

Does anyone have any good ideas for the title of a fantasy newspaper? I’m writing a series of blog posts where an undercover realm leaper researched facts behind legends and clique fantasy things, like magical swords. And, right now, I just need a good title for the newspaper.

Oh, and we get to hear wild dogs at night. Or coyotes; I’m still not sure what they are. We don’t normally hear them, only a few times a year, after dark, and then for only a few minutes (we live in the country). But they are one the creepiest things you’ll ever here. They almost sound human, but not quite. High, chilling, a mixture of a wild…[Read more]

We really do celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks, hot dogs or hamburgers, chips, pop, and watermelon; at least some of us do. It’s not just stereotype.
Basketball is a fairly large sport here in Indiana, not just football.
Indiana is the Hoosier state; meaning, yes, we call ourselves Hoosiers. There are many stories of where ‘Hoosier’ came…[Read more]

Well, for a bit my climax was frustrating me. I had my characters in a situation but couldn’t figure out how to get them out without killing one. 😉 I did in the end though, thankfully (figure it out, not kill them).
