^^ Planner

But the story sounds really interesting!

[liyahsdiamond]

Oooh. I believe I have this in my drive. I’ll bookmark it, thank you!!

Heyyy @Writers! I remembered this post in a NaNoWriMo group which is treated like a thread where people ask about worldbuilding things! It’s fun because everyone can ask questions and answer them, and it really helps!

Is there already a thread for this? If not, I’m thinking about making it and a form where everyone can submit their questions that the writers can answer. If there is… well, of course I’m not going to

[idiot.exe]

There’s a thread where people make a world together, but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for

[WolfGamerGirl37]

This is the thread that @idiot.exe was talking about. It’s run by @CrazyCaliope.

World Building Game

This is a World Building Game in the sense that it is just for fun. Creating a world together with a few words/answers at a time. I’ll ask questions and ANYONE can answer them, just one at a time. If I ask for seven answers to a question then seven users please answer it. Let’s world build together, @Discussions and @Writers! One world will take quite a while BUT when/if it is completed then anyone is welcome to use and worlds that we all create and implement them into their own stories. I’m …

[CrazyCaliope]

CRAP! Will get back onto this in the next day or two.

[Nil]

Ooh, yeah! Apparently, I remembered that moments after I posted that question I’m really sorry, Cali!

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Lol no worries!

[WolfGamerGirl37]

It’s okay because we helped to remind Cali about it.

[CrazyCaliope]

Sorry? Don’t be sorry.

It’s okay because we helped to remind Cali about it.

HAHA. This is true. Though it was Shannii’s ads that actually reminded me last week 'cause I saw the World Anvil ad and thought about developing the world further on there. Just continue with my stuff first.

[WolfGamerGirl37]

Lol nice!

@Writers

any new endeavors or random writing scenes you’d like to share

[Danielle318]

Hmmm…sure.

I am trying to envision one of the characters in my book and I am not sure whether I should give him a black ring on his finger or not. Thoughts?

Also should he have 2 mothers or be an orphan? A single mom wouldn’t work because my MC has only a mom(and I don’t want him to be exactly the same).

[katabasis]

Well I think 2 moms would be super cool becase diversity and representation. The orphan thing is kinda overdone imo in the media but it could work out! As for the black ring, does it have any signifcance or would it just be a pretty accessory?

[Danielle318]

@katabasis

does it have any signifcance or would it just be a pretty accessory?

I was thinking it could have been his uncle’s ring and he ALWAYS wears it because his uncle saved his life.

Ooh, I like the two mom idea too, thank you.

(I really like it because, it could/will make the character more open minded. Now the struggle of having 2 mom in 1947 will be…)

[katabasis]

That could be a really good reason and another way to add depth to his character!

That could be a subplot in your story, as they are probably going to be affected and find a way through it.

[Danielle318]

Ooh, thank you so much!

[katabasis]

No problem! And may I ask what your story is about?

[Danielle318]

Sure!

I’ll PM you.

[katabasis]

From what you sent to me, it seems really complicated but very interesting!! I would love to read it when you publish it!
