    Your Most Hated Tropes

    I have never hated any trope except maybe one. Of course it would be nice if the rest were all well written. The one trope I dislike is the Love Triangle or the Love Corner. Call it what you want. It's used in a lot of YA books and since I am almost 30 years old I just can't be bothered with...

    Your Most Hated Tropes

    This made me think of Harry Potter at first but Harry and Ron are both dumb goofballs. Would you mind explaining? According to LotR fanboys every fantasy series out there copied Tokien and is therefore bad and its author a fraud. I don't want to get mad making up a scenario where you have said...

    Question about age gap

    My guess is because there are so many real life examples of older men dating young women where it can be seen as predatory. Immortal beings is just fantasy where everything (to a limit) goes.

    Is Originality Even Possible?

    I'm sure it's possible in some areas. Just don't forget that someone will accuse you of stealing from Tolkien anyway.

    Writing a Fantasy Character with ASD/Asperger's Syndrome - All Opinions Wanted!

    It really annoys me when people try to blame my Asperges for something that I did wrong. Once I was supposed to tell a receptionist my phone number with my mom around. I may have started off too fast or I mispoke or something and I had to say my phone number twice. My mom later blamed my...

    Writing a Fantasy Character with ASD/Asperger's Syndrome - All Opinions Wanted!

    Don't feel bad about writing about someone with Aspergers who doesn't care about it, tries to work beyond it or gets annoyed whenever someone brings it up. Of course this probably won't fit everyone with Aspergers. I have it but it's mild so ppl with stronger symptoms may feel differently about it.

    Naming + Placing of Land

    Well for the sake of realism, even in fantasy, it should affect something. I'm really hoping that way I can make the "ice in the west and desert in the east" thing work.

    Naming + Placing of Land

    What if I say that the sun rises in the north and sets in the south? Would that work or is this unrelated to each other? What other impact would that have?

    Naming + Placing of Land

    Hello there people of the internet. So I wanted to write something for the first time so I sat down and drew a map of all the lands my story is supposed to take place on. I'm even quite happy about it so that must be my first accomplishment. And yet my very first problem is the naming of...
