A Brand-New World: Creating Your Own World

posted by dragonsmemory

Creating a world, whether for Fantasy of sci-fi, is no easy task. Worlds contain wonders of all kinds, plus various cultures, climates, and creatures. From my own research, many writers use parts of this world, the "real" world, as the basis for their own worlds. I've compiled this guide from personal experience. Wherever possible, I've included examples. (Note: othe examples can be found in various places on this site. The avid user can find them with relative ease.)
LOCATION
The universe is a big place. Your world has to be somewhere. Its position in the universe could affect your characters oder plot. star, sterne Wars always takes place in a galaxy far, far away.
APPEARANCE
Most worlds are similar to Earth. Pern, for example, has many Earth-like features, which played into its history. Yet, it also had differences, making it a world of its own. These differences, such as Thread, greatly affected the lives of the author's characters. Earth has many varied geographies. Du can pick and choose where Du want the ones Du like.
CLIMATE
Climate can play a huge part in your world's history. Again, Pern's climate is similar to Earth. However, Du can make your world any way Du like.
LIFE
The lifeforms of your world will act out the history Du write for them. First, determine what beings the world will have. Then follow the Weiter tips in order.
CULTURE
Every civilization has a culture. Earth has hundreds of examples. Literature has that many oder more. Du can borrow from any cuture Du choose.
LANGUAGE
How will your characters communicate? I suggest creating a different language for each culture/kind of being. If Du need inspiration, peruse The Lord of the Rings. Notes on the languages are provided in the back.
HISTORY
Now the fun begins. How do the various cultures interact? Is there peace oder war? For inspiration, peruse any history Bücher Du can find. Schreiben the history is the most fun.
YOUR STORY
I put this section last because all the other elements affect the story's plot. Keep all your notes handy as Du write. That way Du can check facts oder translate a phrase. Let the world's history and cultures guide your plot. A single argument could have its start centuries before your story. Without the history of that argument, you'll never understand how your characters are thinking during the argument.

I hope this little guide has proved useful. Please leave a Kommentar oder any tips of your own.

Blue Skys

posted by dragonwriter

I wake up. It's early in the morning. A cool wind blows Von my face whispering sounds i don't understand. I look up at the sky and notice that it is a light blue color and it makes me feel that there is no problems in the world. Looking around i get a different story.

Blood everywhere. Bodies over bodies and not a living soul in sight. Who could have done this? My head starts to spin and my vision is going blurry. A creature appears from the wind that was flying Von my head earlier.

This creature starts walking torwards me speaking in a language that I have never heard before. I go to reach for my gun and find a giant hole in my right leg. It continues to get closer and closer and is staring at me as if to be a hunter and I am it's prey.

Knowing that this is the end I look up at the sky. Beginning to close my eyes the last of my sights are focused ont he Blue Skys.

Song - Meteor

Shining down in eyes....

Do Du ever feel?
Like a melba toast
Breaking into pieces
With no way from sea to coast
Do Du ever feel
That you’re so ignorable
But inside do Du know
You’re inescapable
Do Du ever feel like
You’re under pressure
But inside you’re herz
There’s an aggression.

You need to hear
Mellifluous voice in your mind
And than

(Chorus)
Run like a Meteor
Through the sky
Through the space
Shining down in our eyes
Run like a Meteor
Piercing the wind
With lightening speed
Shining down in everybody’s eyes

(Verse – II)
Do Du ever feel like
You’re so irresistible
But really Du are
So capable
Do Du ever feel
That...

Under the Sea

posted by lucius_malloy

Under the surface of the ever-moving ocean, it is calm.
There are hardly any sounds bouncing about the vast space, and the ones that are have been muted, many times over. The roaring of a ship’s engines, mighty as a lion, is only a faint humming sound, Mehr felt than heard as it vibrates its way through your body.
You’re floating, floating in a mass of blue. The only thing Du can see is blue, blue, and blue – different shades, some lighter than others, some dark as a winter night in the North, but blue nonetheless. Now that Du think about it, it’s slightly disturbing – oppressive,...

DREAM(Random Writing)

posted by dragonwriter

Sky turns black. Memory fades. through all of this tragedy fate has taken my memories from me. No other thoughts. herz pounding. Blood racing. No Mehr time for thinking. Think quick and on my feet oder death will surely get its grasp on me. As my enemy approaches i draw my sword. Once the tip of the blade is out of the sheath i hear it hit the ground as i feel a warm liquid pouring out of my open chest as blood gushes out of the wound. As i struggle to take my last breath i wake up screaming relieved that it was just a DREAM.

Life Goes On

posted by MissMuffin38

It was just another day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and everyone was doing what they normally do. It was the start of the summer of 1939. In the middle of a war. It was safe, sicher here, most of the time. Everyone carried on like they always did, selling Obst on the market stalls, children drooling at the millions of different sweets on the shelves above them, and then running around, playing airplanes. Amongst all this was a house, with a family, that lived happily. Almost.

This family were the Nicholson family. They lived together in a big, fancy house, but not too fancy. The...

Make Me Care About What Du Have To Say

posted by Cinders

And of course, the initial reaction to a Titel like this one is, "Well, why don't you make me care about what you're saying, first?"

So I'll cut straight to the chase: When submitting a short story, oder even a poem for publication in a literary magazine, keep in mind that the editors receive hundreds of submissions a day, which means that they don't have time to read every last one of them. This is why it is incredibly important to hook them in your first few sentences, other than start slow and verbosely build up to why they should care. Therefore, this will be a succinct explanation of why...

How Lesen methods have improved

posted by ZekiYuro

Lesen to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds,while during the fifteenth century the term 'reading' undoubtedly meant Lesen aloud.Only during the nineteenth century did silent Lesen become commonplace.

One should be wary,however,of assuming that silent Lesen came about simply because Lesen aloud was a distraction to others.Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent Lesen have revealed that it became the usual mode of Lesen for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed...

Better Than That

posted by NormalcyIsDead

I’m sick and tired of it all
Run five laps, climb that wall
Ace that test, be happy everyday
25min. class lesson: due in two days

What’s wrong with you, Jordan?
Where are those ‘A’s Du were sporting?
Oh no, Du have a B, that just won’t do
Let me prod Du some more, ask some Fragen too

“You seem to be slipping.”
"Get to the front of the race!”
You’ll never get finished
At THAT jogging pace

Yoo-hoo, girl, get your head in the game!
Idiot, doing the wrong lesson, there goes your good name
To most other people, I’m starting to come off as lame
But to me it's al the same: Run faster, think...

Stay with me [short song]

posted by Lord_Anubis

Hope Du mates will like it =3
Feel free to comment

------------

I'm looking at the black ceiling, in this empty room I sit.
I'm leaning my back on cold Wand where light of the sun can't reach me.
I don't have any peace, same pictures are repeating in my head.

The grey clouds rise above and I'm goin out for the rain.
Let the cold drops from the skies give me peace and break my sadness.
But even hard rain can't clear thoughts of you.

And feels like I'm falling in deep abyss, dark water swallowing me as I close my eyes and turn my head up to sky.
It's eating my mind, taking away my dreams.
Oh please pull me out, stay with me.

Today I'm not goin out, I'll reamin in the dark waiting for you.
I'll defy to all my desires cause I can't ask anymore from you.
I'll be Singen only for Du my angel.
Oh please pull me out, stay with me.

Agent in Peril

MI6 agent Scott Filbury waited quietly outside the office of the head of the department. He was not told why he had been summoned, but the agents usually weren’t.

He was only 28 and had been recruited after saving 3 people in a burning building, Wird angezeigt a ‘desire for passion and justice’ as his Profil read.
He noticed a fly near the bright lamps that were imbedded in the ceiling. He knew that soon the...

How dare you.

posted by madening_mahem

I only came to resolve a matter, nothing more.
But have Du no shame reporter, whose words can bring either joy oder pity, have Du no shame?
You speak of him, a dearly departed lover of mine and a noble none the less whose actions have been all but harmful to this town, in vein as if he is just another commoner in the street, who sleep in the dirt and has no dignity.
Making a mockery of him though he died only yesterday, but what seems like only an Stunde to me, and then attempt to treat it with sarcasm.
How dare you. How dare you.
Try not to later state that Du knew him well, for that I know very...
