Otherworldly Historian

@sarafini

Oh, sorry, lol. I take the jargon for granted. Hard worldbuilding means a more concrete flushed out world that the readers can understand, whereas soft worldbuilding is more open possibilities where anything goes.

@spinner4him

It would probably be best if you started your own page. You can do that if you go to Forums: then look for Critiques, then Novel Critique requests, then you should be able to make one. I hope that helps!

@spinner4him

Here’s the apologetics page if your interested! It’s strayed from apologetics more and has entered general discussion on reality, so I thought you’d like to check it out.

@sarafini

Ok, have you given my questions much thought?

@hanako

Well…non-fiction in the sense that I like to write about my thoughts on American government and real world topics.

Interesting, so your getting into a lot of political history and theory?

I’m working on a essay called American Leader. It’s about the qualities a leader should have and how those qualities are developed. What do you think…

Okay, I’m using mani/mahnith. Thanks!

Your welcome!

@sarafini

Cool! Sounds like a whimsical Brandon Sanderson novel like Fugal Wizard or Alcatraz, is that an image you want to go for in the world? (Though I don’t know if you’ve read any of his writing to have a frame of reference.)

So to start, what do you want out of the world? Do you want hard or soft worldbuilding? Setting that up now will…[Read more]

Hi Sarah! 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!

When you say non-fiction, do you document things about nature, history, biographies, ect?

What are you…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Yes, I agree with that as well. I’ve grown up in a charismatic church, so I also believe Holy Spirit still speaks to us today, and I do agree that feeling or sensing the Holy Spirit is different that our own emotions and feelings, and yes, it is a process of discernment to distinguish between the two.

And going back to the subject o…

@sarafini

Ohhh, conlanging! Yeah, I’d love to help prep!

@sarafini

Oh, thanks! I can help with worldbuilding. Me and my sister’s favorite method of growing ideas is simply talking about it, and that jogs our minds, and we walk away with a lot more developed ideas then when we didn’t. Do you think that would be a good way for you, or would you rather some other method of developing your world?

@highscribeofaetherium

Yeah, potato works🤣 potailento! If I used ipa standardized pronunciation, I would write it like “ei” not “ai” or po”ta”to, so day is actually pronounced like dei and potato is pronounced like poteito😂 But yes, you got it right with potato and day!

@kathleenramm

Dude! This is incredible!

With how immersive the world and writing style is along with how much intrigue and mystery was jam-packed into this excerpt, I’m blown away! Why didn’t you tell me you were this good at writing?!

The first section was actually breathtaking. I could feel each word as if they came alive within my body and…

@kathleenramm

Wow, a lot of sudden activity in the short time I was gone😅

It’s been going really well! I’ve been working, doing some writing (obviously,) and preparing for a two year mission that will hopefully start earlier next year. How have you been?

I was just catching up on the most recent posts on this Apologetics forum as there always…

@kathleenramm

Hi Kathleen!

I noticed you were online, and out of curiosity, I’m wondering if you are planning to ever continue our conversation. I’m afraid that because so much time has past, it might be stale now, but just thought I’d ask.

@jonas

The “tail end”??How many stories will there be in each era??

🤷‍♂️ Honestly I don’t know. Each era is worth centuries of time, at least in my septer, my sister’s eras are a bit shorter. That being said, I haven’t developed very much in my first era other than what’s taking place in Lucid, because it is the most earthlike, and I want to explo…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Thanks! That seems to be the overall consensus. “confusing but the good kind.”

@jonas

Oh yeah, this is actually part of the tail end of the first era of my septer. So civilization is sufficiently advanced in many ways, but it has degraded to dystopia and war. The ones referred to as the phantoms or simply “They” were…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Thanks! Yeah, I’ve played with the concept for a long time. As far as characters go, I feel like I’m getting better. I’m not too much of a people person, but I find psychology really interesting, and I’m intrigued by different ways one could suffer, so I think that’s my strength for characters.

@highscribeofaetherium

Ah, lol, mission accomplished I guess?

@highscribeofaetherium

I love this so far. It definitely is confusing, but the good kind that makes you hungry for more.

That’s good! Definitely my goal with it.

Oh man. That place where Tailen is… I’m panicking just thinking about it right now 😅

Which one? The Void or the Wraith?
