what's your favourite aspect of the world you're creating?

for me, it's the mythology in the faery realm about 'the archer.' it's a constellation in the shape of an archer (and similar to orion's belt, the three original queens are the stars in the belt, being the brightest ones in the sky). in their lore, the stars appear when celestial fairies are born, and grow brighter when they die. in the first novel 'the fallen star' nova was at the tip of the arrow pointing down (symbolizing her fall from grace), but at the end when she finally became queen, her star moved to the crown, and tara's star moved to the arrow's tip, but this time pointing up (obviously ends on a move positive note). the archer can be seen in both the human realm and faery, meave's star guiding the way for nova throughout most of the story.

i just really like stars ⭐️

I am obsessed with systems and logistics.

I'm not a very good writer. I don't really enjoy creating characters. I couldn't tell a story even if my life were on the line, but I can explain how mail gets around and how governments work.

Also, I enjoy creating fantasy creatures because the creatures don't have to make any biological sense.

Everything, goddamnit

I'd have to go with my worldbuilding. I love creating new cultures and societies, and sketching up maps and clothes. My current story is the most in-depth I've ever written about a world, and it presents so many unique challenges!

My favorite aspect of the world I'm creating is the long history of wars in and around the regions where my characters will have their adventures, and the resulting political intrigue because of it. I also have many different stories lined up that all take place in the same world, but are separated by a lot of time.

Hmmm. I'm not sure. There isn't really any one thing that sticks out to me as super great. Wow that actually sounds kind of sad now that I think about it. Oops.

Cheer up chap, I'm sure it's wonderful.

I love my villain group the most honestly, 'Angelus Reprodi', I also feel quite proud of how I made the main four character meet up, they are some of the most humane characters I've written.

I love creating characters after character and throwing them in a world. I also love logistics: my favorite thing right now is figuring how the calendar system works between the different races.

The time travel system.

I really love the scenery of my world! There are lots of mountains and rivers and waterfalls and I really want to live there!

My favorite part of the world I'm making is the fact that there are a lot of myths, fantasy things, religious beliefs, and old stories mashed into one!

My favourite part of my world is probably… the Circus. That sounds super weird, I know, but basically the main character is on the run from the murderer and joins a traveling Circus to hide himself.

The eight Houses of the Ketyrei (elves).

Fantasy obviously. Each House have their own emblem, obvious physical feature (they're all related), lands and slightly different laws but all follow the High King which is from one of the Houses, Perlintë

I'm weird in that I take a lot of joy in creating the little things that make up my universe. Like the clothes they wear and the sports they play. They kind of music they listen to. What kind of trees are planted outside of my protagonists home. My main characters favorite food. The little things are just really fun to me.

I like creating culture, and having that moment when it all ties together, and it makes sense that (a) led to (b) and so on.

I love my magic system and how it ties into my races! Basically, Dragons can have all magic, Humans can have one quarter-ish magic, Wyverns have no magic, and Half-Dragons have half magic.

Same. Like the really major stuff is decided but the minor stuff changes all the time

Personally, I love to create the histories of my worlds, ranging from nuclear devastation to a demonic genocide. I also particularly enjoy creating maps.

I'm writing a lot of different things at once, but I would have to say that my favorite one would be my book Void, where every creature is extremely intelligent in their own way, but most cannot communicate with creatures of a different species. Species that can communicate with other species eventually end up banding together and forming large and powerful kingdoms all across the universe.

Probably my favorite aspect of my world is a pair of immortal beings in the lore of the universe. One was an extremely powerful and kind-hearted water mage when she was alive, wandering the world and using her magic for good whenever she could. When she died, her soul was so powerful that it became the seed of a world tree that sprouted, tearing the world into five separate worlds, all supported by the tree. Other mage souls added to the tree over the centuries, but it was always primarily her soul holding the universe together. Over time, she grew exhausted from the responsibility she held, from the simple everyday parts of life extended over millennia. She decided to, as many of the smaller parts of the tree had done, leave. She had made up her mind to will herself out of existence, the only way to escape her pain, when a new soul arrived at the tree. At first, she took no notice of them. But they took notice of her. When she finally announced her departure to the souls, they were all shocked, disgusted, appalled. They told her she had to stay. All except one. The new soul separated themselves from the crowd and told her that she didn’t have to stay. But that they wanted her to stay. That they would never let her feel that pain again, not alone. That she just had to let them try. And so, she stayed. And the two of them shared the burden together until the end of time, enjoying every second of it, together.

I love it all!!! But especially the religions and myths and races and cultures. So much fun. I enjoy the fact that I created 12 religions out of 3-4 pantheons… and everyone believes the same general creation myth, but different religions worship and place importance on different pantheons and aspects. If anyone has questions, just message me (if you can do that on here?)

I currently love my God systems. In my world there are different Gods for Life, Death, Love and even Insanity! I also have core Magic systems who also have Gods. But my favorite out of that branch is the “Growing Gods” where they select certain magic users to be Demi-Gods for a while. Usually they are in pairs, and once one passes away the living one takes the others magic and uses it for their future Godship! Edgy as hell but lol, I really like it.

I also like my magic system. Basically Magic is so powerful that any being that has it in them will die (maybe with an exception here or there), so the gods blessed areas and certain items. People have learned how to use magic through these items and areas and stuff and yay and whoopdeedoo

I'm actually weirdly proud of the food/agricultural aspect of my world. Since it is a completely different planet and landscape, all of the crops, plants, and animals are very different from Earth. Creating new edible/unedible resources is difficult, but surprisingly fun! Since my protagonist's family works in the food industry, it is a big part of her history. She lives in a society where children inheriting their family business is the norm and pursuing her own interests instead of her family's is considered very abnormal. This means I can have fun creating new plants and animals that not only work with her family's business, but also match the landscape, weather, and atmosphere of the planet i'm creating. It is actually the most detailed I have ever gotten with world building!

I like how all of the settings are very spunky, like if the general sitting in my story was a person, they would be very angsty and energetic and colorful.

My favorite aspect of the universe I'm creating is I can finally keep all of my ideas right in one place with an intricate system in place to fit and use all of them the way I want to use them. I get to experiment with so many different genres and characters and plots with an overarching plan I never quite reveal to my readers. I want to show them. Tease them with everything I have and then withholding right at the end to leave it for them to interpret. I absolutely love this flexible system I have created, it allows me so much more freedom and creativity.
