Hello! Nice to meet you! What sort of sci-fi/fantasy have you read? (Most important question: have you read Lewis’s Space Trilogy?)

Hmm, I’m afraid that I haven’t read Lewis’s Space Trilogy:( I have heard of it though, and I’ll probably put it on my to do. I’ve read a large amount of Brandon Sanderson’s works in both sci-fi and fantasy. I…[Read more]

I don’t think that I’m killing off any characters without reason. I think the main ones I talked about killing off were Arvolis, Dalaman, Ridril, Thulac, Cadmus, and Edward. For Ridril, Cadmus, and Edward, their deaths are in my mind the perfect conclusion for their characters arcs. I already listed several reasons why Dalaman’s death makes…

Hi there! I think I would probably lean more toward the soft worldbuilding category, but I’m a pretty healthy balance of both I’d say.

As for learning languages, I don’t try learning many, but I’ve been learning Danish on and off for about a year now (I can never practice, though, so I’m not very good at all).

I’ve tried a…[Read more]

Yeah, there are the nagas who have a great skill with knives and a whole bunch of other stuff, but I zoned out at that pint of his explanation. The Metamorphs (I named them) who are shape-shifting metal aliens. The Dragons (no idea if they have another name yet) like half human and half dragon. Oh and homosupero, basically the superhero part.…

Welcome to KP!

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

Questions!

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

@acancello

I copied and pasted it! Hope it works! Thanks!

Hi! I don’t know how to tag people yet, so hopefully you get this!

My favorite book series is probably The Lord of the Rings, but there are so many others.

I don’t do sports, but I do take music lessons, which I absolutely LOVE.

I try to write once a day, but Writer’s Block (bet you’ve never heard of it or experienced it 😉 is quite good at…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

So based off of the language that you were going to help me create, can you help me devise a word in Andromedan for “Mother”? That would be most appreciated, haha. I am not good at creating languages, so I’m stumped, lol.

@whalekeeper

I agree, reading books has helped me so much!

I’m not sure if I know a lot about plot structure. I just try not to be cliche, have good character arcs, and attempt to make an outline. Emphasis on the word attempt, lol.

I know that there’s seven main ways to plot, like “save the cat”, “the hero’s journey”, the “three act”, and…[Read more]

P.S.

Also, forgot to mention a couple of things:

I’m also homeschooled (actually, me and my three younger sisters do Classical Conversations), I’m a Christian, I live in Georgia, and I love to swim and imagine with my friends.

To answer everybody’s questions:

I’ve been playing viola for one year now, but I started playing violin when I was eight, so I usually say I’ve been playing a ‘stringed instrument’ for five years.

I’ve tried historical fiction once or twice, but it usually flops about a page in. I love reading it though.

Denmark is gorgeous, and the language is…[Read more]

@jonas

Ok, I have just gotten around to reading this, sorry I took so long.

I really like this! It actually feels a bit nostalgic for me, bearing much more of a classic medieval fantasy vibe from the setting to the characters to the plot itself.

I didn’t guess that Gwidigrand was a wizard, but I was close, guessing that he was along the lines…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

That makes sense. Good advice!

@acancello

It is so perfect for him!

I also use Canva, I just add a bunch of photos to make it chaotic and only add photos, no clipart. I don’t use a background, and I just google search/canva search.
