Writing Stories (Outside MLP Fictions) · 2:52am Oct 4th, 2012
I want to write. I mean novels. REAL stories. Ones that will end up in School Libraries and store shelves. I have an idea for how I can get an early start on that career. You. And this website. I have two big questions for you guys.
1. Does anyone know a website where I can type up a chapter at a time and post it (the way I do on this site) but doesn't require me to write about a certain cannon. If no one has anything I can use, I do have alternative based on this site.
2. Do any of you want to help me with... well anything? I need help creating characters, regions, nations, races, and all that whatnot, so ANYTHING you have would be welcomed (as long as it isn't retarded or a half-assed joke).
Here's some basic knowledge about the lore:
The world is called Mythos.
It is a post-apocalyptic fantasy story.
I have decided upon an array of races (both self-made and generic):
1. Dwarves: Chest height with men. Skilled Craftsmen. {Competitive Rivals with Tu'Nari}
2. Nari: Look like men but with different skin color, eye color, and pointed ears (Elves, but with an actual name) {Names work with the type name then 'Nari i.e. Que'Nari}
A. Que= paladins and healers (High Elves)
B. De= Thieves and black mages (Dark Elves)
C. Gil= Hunters and druids (Wood Elves)
D. Tu= Craftsmen and warriors (Basic Elves) {Competitive Rivals with Dwarves}
3.Drii: Bestial races. {Names work with the type name before 'Drii i.e. Ari'Drii}
A. Avi= Lion people. Politicians, beserkers, and merchants.
B. Ari= Bird People. Sneakers, mages, and warriors.
C. Urs= Bear People. Vikings, vikings, and vikings.
4.Chi'D'Sturn: Sturn for short. Robotic race.
Then there is the two main characters:
1. John: Main character. Naturally talented mage and trained soldier.
2. Merydia: [Mery for short] Love Interest. Rogue and werewolf (Unwelcome curse, but uncurable).
I have also designed a wide array of regions and areas, but I won't mention them here because there's too many. If you want any additional information, just ask in the comments and I'll be happy to reply in a comment with additional lore. Please give me any ideas you have. There is a LOT I couldn't mention here.
Forgot to mention that I have some help with certain things from TheAtlas. He is mostly focused on the Sturn as they were mostly his idea to begin with (but I have full right to pick and choose what to do with them
)
I would love to help! I have experience with stories because me and my friends role play in our own little universe and such. I might be a help, you never know with me, but I will do my best if you allow me.
401038 aight. what do you want to help with?
I do have a lot more established in my personal notes than i do in this blog post btw
401046 Well, I can help with names and such, some races, and probably backgrounds of some characters if you ever need me to.
401049 do you have any ideas right now? Id love to hear them... although i need to hit the hay soon so you can just say it then ill read it in the morning.
401071 Give me some time to think and I'll get get back to you when I can
For a site like that, I think Fictionpress would work. As far as I can tell, it's just like FanFiction.net, and done by the same group, but it's original works.
401223 oh cool, thanks
401223 Damn... I should've done this two days ago. It has a two-day wait before new users can start stories (reduces spam). I'm not complaining about that, I'm complaining that I was tossing this idea around for a week and didn't decide to do it till just now. It would've been nice if I could start today, though, because my school has a four day weekend, and that's a great way to start a story.
