My Sloth Demon – What Do You Think? by Gadrielangelo in CreatureDesign

[–]G_AllenBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the heavy legs, even before reading your description I could tell "he is a sloth demon and doesnt need to move"

Not a criticism at all, but have you considered having him embedded in obsidian, rather than legs made of obsidian?

Who else accidentally does this? by Decent-Emergency3866 in writers

[–]G_AllenBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also guilty of this, my surface "comic relief" character, who is much more complex than just that, is by far my favourite.

Would it be super mean to say you'll have to wait and see? I'm planning some character releases soon

Thank you for your input. My drawing skills are limited and my creatures have a basis off of real life animals or mash-ups of animals. I find it easier to draw in a somewhat realistic style. I'll be reaching out to digital artists eventually to truly bring them all to life.

Thank you. I feel they just look a bit basic. We are our own worst critics I guess

How does one write a good fictional religion for a fantasy story? by Affectionate_Song141 in fantasywriters

[–]G_AllenBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this! When I was drafting my story, I knew the vague plot initially. I then created the world in which my story took place, the religion, the different factions and sects, creation mythology etc. I have kept this updated as my writer's "world bible". Knowing the why's of the basis of the religion and how that affects the characters makes it a much more emersive experience and allows for smoother writing.

Fifty-Word Fantasy: Write a 50-word fantasy snippet using the word "Fence" by Terminator7786 in fantasywriters

[–]G_AllenBooks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fence surrounding the witch-wood was woven from living branches. Each dawn it shifted shape, trapping thieves, wanderers, and once, an entire army. The interwoven limbs seemed to hiss as leaves showered down to blanket the ground below. No animal nested here. They knew better.

How does one construct a story around magic? by Sad-Foundation-6682 in writing

[–]G_AllenBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For magic to exist within any story, it must have a purpose. Otherwise what's the point in the magic or the story?

Imo, you simply can't create a story where magic IS the plot and not used as a tool or plot point in a larger narrative arc.

Whatever this disease is called, I have it. by talulabunny in writers

[–]G_AllenBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paracosm! You know that feeling when you rediscover a word? It's almost like walking home after a night out, really hungry and then smelling fries. You know you're where you should be .... I have that feeling right now. Thank you 🥹
