Haha yeah I feel that. I also feel that nowadays a lot of medieval fantasy feels like a LOTR ripoff.
IT’S TRUE!!!!!!!!!! If I have to read one more book with knock-off not-elvish and the destruction of a dangerous object by way of fiery quest I’m going to start throwing things.
And/or writing my own book.
Which is what I’m…[Read more]

I’m not good at anything besides English and Latin, and the language I’m trying to make up but is unfortunately for a different world and I don’t want traveling worlds, lolll

THAT IS A MOOD I decided that it would be a smart idea to create like 5 different languages for one world.
Trust me.
It was not a good id…[Read more]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! That is actually pretty amazing. (I WISH I HAD THE SKILL TO MATCH MY LANGUAGE OBSESSION, but I’m the sort of person who’d love to learn all the languages in the world, but can’t because I just can’t learn any languages. 😭 I have learned Latin, and I know English, but besides that what I know is just words o…

Kilied
“Are you alive, Comrade?”
Shut up.
Balorico shifted beside him.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”

Denali Christianson replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 6 months ago
(Is this like a line by line role play, or a scene by scene role play sort of thing?)
It’s definitely more like paragraph by paragraph. Since this is not on a crazy active forum (as in everyone spends every minute of every day writing posts) please don’t wait for someone else’s character to act. 🙂 That’s how we spend an enormous amount…[Read more]

This is a fun little thing that we do on my other writing forum!
Basically, people throw their characters into a castle and then their characters interact with other peoples’ characters. Trust me when I say it helps with character development IMMENSELY.
Here are the rules so that utter chaos does not ensue. XD

Heheh sci-fi in medieval fantasy is honestly better than regular ol’ medieval fantasy. It’s really quite overdone.

Denali Christianson replied to the topic Thinking alone vs talking with others. Which gives you more story ideas? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 6 months ago
Oh this is such an interesting question!!!
I would say it’s about equal. I get most of my character and world-building ideas from thinking alone, when I’m out on a hike in the woods or sitting in my room listening to epic cinematic music. (I’m obsessed…)
However, I get the majority of my plot points from talking to people. I find if I don’t…[Read more]
