    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Ooh! Radiation. I love a nice bit of radiation. In terms of intelligence how do all of the races compare? Do they have different strengths and weaknesses or are they all more or less the same?

    Worldbuilding Discussion

    TES I never really put species other than humans in my work. I'm not sure why. I'm always interested in works that do have other species though because there's just so much potential for interspecies politics and conflict. Hooray! How did Darcy make his new race? Horrific breeding experiments...

    Worldbuilding Discussion

    Wanted to start one of these. I'm guessing there's a few of us here who worldbuild (whether obsessively or more casually) and like talking about it. I also find it enjoyable to read about what other people are doing! My current project involves (mostly) a planet named Ellos by its inhabitants...

    I always feel uncomfortable when people say "the Wachowski brothers", but then I correct them and I feel a bit better!

    I think the cons of criminalisation are far outweighing the benefits at the moment. The war on drugs isn't working for anyone except the people selling and trafficking drugs! Moving growth and sale and transport out of the hands of criminal gangs is a good thing, surely? If you have a moral...

    It's based on a number of different tutorials and techniques but isn't quite any of them, but I used this tutorial the most and if you follow that you should get basically the same result. haha yeah I've tried to consider winds and plates and stuff for Ellos but it keeps looking like too much...

    haven't written in ~days~ but I do now have this: That's a basic map of where the novel mainly takes place. Gogrom will be where a major confrontation happens mid-way through the novel, and the northern Vordrim Territories will account for the next major happening. Korash and Kavesh are...

    I think it took so long because we got civil unions not that long ago. Kind of like, "there's no rush for marriage because we gave them civil unions".

    Excellent progress for today! I've written ~2700 words today, which is the same as I managed on the first so that's pretty good. I'm almost at par for tomorrow, which is fantastic. The world and story has taken on some new aspects and dimensions since the writing started and that's fantastic...

    Post your synopsis! (Or: what are you writing about?) Here's mine: Centuries ago Ellos burned. A terrible war lasting generations savaged the planet. Billions died and society crumbled in its aftermath. The fall of civilisation brought about a terrible dark ages of savage, brutal individualism...

    I got 2700 words yesterday. Hoping for another go like that today, since every bit extra I do is going to save me when November gets busier.

    I have managed to ignore the crippling need to worldbuild more and just write. Although my world is set in a post-post-apocalyptic world where technology is all mismashed and anachronistic and blah, I still wanted to know what sorts of things I could expect where. Now I'm kind of making it up...
