lwhitehead Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi folks this Fantasy series and setting which is inspired by Song of Ice and Fire, the Accursed Kings, The Fall of the Knight's Templars and Hundred year War. This world had old gods and the Human race had a First Crusade against these Old Gods by a Charlemagne like man who at his dead was deitfy by his army and followers, His Church is based on Sol Invictus. and there Order Militare which there Templars are called the Shining Ones. There Enemy is not based on Middle East but Asia more like a Samurai culture, I would like some help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 OK, I won't be a dick, for once, here's some advice 1. There's a thread for writing advice 2. "I would like some help" isn't very helpful 3. Be careful how you solict/present things, cause someone could steal your idea/you might get sued for taking some one else's 4. OK, here is me being more of my typical self: Your post....the language...not so good. Maybe try and learn how to form sentences in basic forum conversation before you write a 1000 page book of it.

The Marquis de Leech Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 At least he's got the forum right this time, though he still hasn't figured out the writers' thread yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriele Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 13 hours ago, lwhitehead said: I would like some help OK, if I build a word for you, will I get 50% of the millions this grand epic is going to make? Seriously, you need enough imagination to do your own heavy lifting. You can start out with a vague idea about the world, populate it with interesting characters and a bunch of nice conflicts - aka the plot - and build the details of the world as you go (it's what I do for Kings and Rebels, and I think GRRM started out the same way). Or you can build a world with all those cool details (like Sanderson has a dang book worth of notes for the magic systems, ecosystems, critters and whatnot for his Stormlight Archives) and then find characters to throw into the fun. The second method is tricky for some people; I know one guy from a writing forum who built several worlds by now, but can't come up with characters and plots to bring those worlds alive. Feedback and help only works for details. You can ask if something makes sense, if your evil archwizard-villain-nemesis may be too powerful, if someone's acting out of character; you can ask specialists in biology, physics or whatever if that cool spiderdragonwhale critter you invented could exist in the first place and what the tides will do in a world with three moons. But you have to do more than tell us you have gods (doesn't every dang Fantasy world? ), humans, Charlemagne and a crusade, and expect others to create a world - and/or a plot out of that.

Darth Richard II Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Poe's Law in effect. I mean, this is what his 12th, 13th "idea" fur a series? And all he ever wants is non specific help. He's either trolling the fuck out of us or 13 years old. Or maybe Paolini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeping Sore Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It could be a story about an omnipotent being that is creating a universe but sort of has writer's block and there are big misty continents of the vagueness all around. Then the being is asking for ideas on how to make his world better through an inter-dimensional rift and these snarky avatars start saying all this bullshit to the being, and he decides to suck them into the universe and they all stand around looking exactly like their avs but they have to fight off bacon vampires and ninjas and obscene monks and all the bullshit they were spouting comes back to haunt them mwuh ha haaa.

Darth Richard II Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 He's not asking for ideas how to make his world better, he's been doing this for 2+ years. He has some post about HELP ME WITH MY XXTH CENTURY FANTASY SETTING PLZ then comes back with a new one a month later. And he never asks for anything even remotely specific. Just I NEED HELP MAKE QUICK MONEYS PLZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this situation, will it help to have a badass avatar or will that only mark you for extra horrible death? I repeat my advice from the other thread: Love Triangles! The kids love 'em.

Larry of the Lawn Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 The Samurai-like should all be castrati except for a few 'brood fathers'. In fact their culture maybe makes that a requisite for holding a military title. Their religion should be based upon dolphin worship. The castrati are allowed to have sexual relations with dolphins. This will give the world some depth and back story. The dolphins and their castrati lovers have a powerful navy. Sadly, its Achilles Heel is hypothermia, as wetsuits have not yet been created. This is the tragedy of its time. Probably a good love triangle would be the wife of a Templar knight escaping to live with a dolphin and samurai couple, would be a great opportunity to contrast the cultures in a neat way. Eta:. Might want to have a lawyer peruse this if you use it, might be I've lifted it from Vivian St Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
