That’s pretty cool! I haven’t read a lot of mythology, or books with fake religions, but having a base for the mythology out of “real” history makes sense. In fact, something like that might help solve a few issues of my own, like why this other country has such a mixed up system of government and religion.

*Gazes off into the abyss*

Bye!!!

@elishavet-pidyon

YES THE TRASHGRIFFINS

@whalekeeper

Probably both? Like, I want to have a better idea of how it all works (and why it’s magic, if that makes sense. Like Wingfeather has the Stones at the heart of the world.)

But I also do want to have it kinda randomly fantastic. It all started with my twin and I sitting with our feet in a hot tub and deciding the water was heated by…[Read more]

@loopylin

Um, yes?! It was a book before a movie, and the book is awesome.

And thank you. I love the little feathery guys too. Who needs regular street rats if you can have wats and wouses fluttering around.

@godlyfantasy12

AHHHHHH! SHE IS HERE?!?!

*Ahem*

Lovely aesthetics. I have never actually read Peter Pan or seen the movie, but I did just finish a rewrite that has definitely spiked my interest.

@whalekeeper

Hmm. I do have a series with a magic system, but as it’s a series I haven’t started writing yet (just outlining and world building *shudders*) the system isn’t all figured out.

But it’s like Wingfeather or Ella Enchanted (the book) style magic where it’s more a part of the way the world works than the regular book magic (not sure if…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I was so confused………..XD

Just the fact that one of my protagonists is biracial brings up so many questions that have to be answered so I can sleep at night.

This stuff keeps you up too? XD

And oh. There’s so much. “World-building” is almost a deceivingly simple word. We’re literally making up worlds. This is micro-fictional-creation.

@elishavet-pidyon

And the fact that A_____’s captor is a bit of an infidel because he has spurned most of the religion for a form of stoicism. His wife is devout though, and it’s sad.

*Is sad with you*

@whalekeeper

XD

I suppose they are. *Nods sagely*

The evil/weird religious system in my WIP so far only has moon worship and possibly vag…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh, and then you’ll have to figure out what the gods represent, and then you’ll have to have a basic mythology, and then there’s the question of how they teach this mythology….

@whalekeeper

*Sniffles* It’s okay. I think.

I may need boundaries.

XD

@whalekeeper

*Whimpers*

Maps? I tried. I really did.

*Screaming intensifies*

Yeah, I probably need to find some natural boundaries I can stick in. I’m not trying to be Tolkien. I just don’t know where to make it stop.

Not that I don’t love it at the same time…..

@keilah-h

It’s okay Keilah. The other day I called one of my characters something like “my little wolf child” and “baby”.

My older sister looked at me with this blank stare and asked who I was talking about because “Isn’t he the soldier?”

@whalekeeper

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yesss…… It never ends …..

I actually really need to flesh out some of my cultures on these lines, but then there’s the cultures inside bigger cultures, and the random pockets of society, and this is just one tribe?!

*Screams into pillow in a mixture of pure joy and pain*

@rae

Ah yes. Some writers talk about their super organized notes, and I’m just like “I have a head. And some notes here…or maybe over there…”

@raxforge

I’m not sure what a good process is, but here’s basically what I do.

I have a doc for each of my series that is mostly just notes about the characters, the plotline, and a bunch of random culture things. And then I’ve scribbled some things down in notebooks, but I haven’t kept up with those so I don’t really know if I have that stuff…[Read more]

Thanks for joining, y’all! It was awesome to kinda actually meet you.

May your words flow easily into your WIPs and all characters do as they should.

And remember y’all, we did decide to wear light costumes of some sort this week if anyone else wants to (like nothing too nuts. I’ll probably just be wearing a hat)
