Thanks for the input, I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to introduce everyone without info dumping

It’s a struggle

Yesss, I understand. It’s so hardddd 😭 But you’ll get better at it the more you keep writing. Like, I read a ton of stuff about writing and I watch a lot of videos about it, but I don’t really get better unti…[Read more]

Welcome to Kingdom Pen, Marie!! I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, fiction-writing, God-loving, teen girl! I’ve written fantasy and dystopian, but I have ideas for books in the genres of historical fiction and contemporary.

Time for questions!

1. Since you’re a semi-avid reader, 😉 , wha…[Read more]

Oh I love it!! Totally gonna be participating! This is gonna stretch me a bit, but it’ll be fun. 😏

@mcmuffin

Greetings!! You may call me Bridget, or by my *flips cloak over shoulder* AWESOME EPIC KP NAME!!!! HighScribe.

I’m just your average homeschooler who sometimes goes slightly insane and has an obsession with swords and knives and fire and reads an average of one five-hundred page book a day and is, in theory, a writer.

Anyways, I…[Read more]

Hey, Marie! I’m Bridget! Welcome to KP! Like Jonas said, I’m his sister and we’re working on a fantasy universe together.

Haha, that’s funny I once made a MASSIVE list of names that I’ll probably never use because I write fantasy and make up my own names XD

Questionsssss!

1. Is it soda, pop, coke, or something else (it’s sod…[Read more]

@mcmuffin

(btw, can I call you Macguffin instead of Mcmuffin?)

I have so many, but here is one that I can think of… one of my characters uses compressed gas that orbits around him, as a way to take out his enemies.

Ok, cool! So does it function sort of like an non-solid sword?

No, it is not unfair.  (In my opinion)

Alright, fair enough!

@jonas

Ok, that makes sense

@jonas

Ohhhh, interesting, but makes a whole lot of sense. I would assume that I’ve seen that by now, but I don’t know. I’m in the middle of Warbreaker, going to read Rhythm, then Lost Metal, then Sunlit, then I will have finished the Comsere, so if it’s in any of those, it’s probably the first two. Didn’t Hoid give Kelsier a good beating? Unless…[Read more]

@everyone

I don’t think Ontological arguments have been talked about on here at all yet, would that interest anyone?

@kathleenramm

Hey Kathleen! Did you ever want to pick the conversation back up? I did say a bit much, didn’t I😅

@jonas

Yeah, Invested Art is basically the in-universe term for magic system. I haven’t read LM either. I think Harmony was talking about having a difficult time acting due to the conflicting intents in the other WaW books.

That’s true. He did make a point that in character, he favors preservation, but in nature, he must yield to balance.

Oh w…

@mcmuffin

I try for hard worldbuilding.

Cool, me too!

Well it’s based around a battle in a land called Extroit… it’s supposed to be intense… but I don’t know.

Sounds interesting! You’ve come to the right place to develop it if your not fully sold on it’s current draft.

You know, I don’t really have one that’s a hard one, I like everyone and…

@jonas

Oh, also, is it the orb in Secret History? If not, could you at least mention where it’s found?

@jonas

Does invested art mean any of the local magic systems? Like Allomancy? I didn’t realize that Harmony was having trouble, is that in Lost Metal? Yeah, the scale and importance of Roshar would lead me to think it likely.

@jonas

Destruction tends to be a bit…messy, but you probably could get it precise enough to do that. These powers are going to be just being discovered in the story this is for, so I will get to explore the technological effects of them. I think these are going to give you nearly perfect technology in a lot of areas.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Welcome to KP!

I’m the Arcane Axiom. I like math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and currently am working on a universe with my sister we call the Septrum.

Questions:

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

It does make a lot of sense. I just wonder what the Dawnshards are in relation to the shards in terms of what they can do in the first place. The shards are wells of investiture, whereas the Dawnshards are only spoken of as “commands” as you’ve said, and the sleepless seemed terrified of the prospect of them getting out into the world, so…[Read more]
