Weary Wulf[P] Something hit me just now. Earlier I spoke about how supposedly "mature" fantasy fiction is mired in bioessentialism with all the nuance and subtelty of a brick, that "grown-up" fantasy fiction relies on bigotry in lieu of any wisdom. And then it clicked. The sociopathy room-totin' neurotypical conflates bleakness with depth. "It makes me feel better 'coz my life's not so shitty! That's depth!" Um. No. It isn't. But I get it now.

Now with timestamps like X-Files.
As it seems the logic thing is to expand the first set of events into different chapters beyond the second. That means that I'm now in 2307 that will be only a scene in the past but set up a bit of the world & apparently their will now some generational time skips in the WIP.
Or I set up a Prologue?đ€
With my snails pace I'm not very keen on the idea but it won't destroy everything only explain a little bit more, which shouldn't be a bad thing.
Shipwreck, if it gets even bigger I really have to think about splitting it in books & care about publishing (after all the other fine stuff).
Sadly my RPG-DM brain is in Ultra Stress Mode & now demands cleaned-up source material like timeline, maps, etc, switching to chapter(book?) centric WIP's & to not make any lore mistakes (that's ridiculous I am the lore writing person nothing is released other than here the WIP related answers).

Do particular kinds of animals show up in your writing?
The Desolation series is set on an alien planet and I'm drawing inspiration from Devonian period (with a dash of Silurian and Carboniferous) for the plants and animals. So a lot of giant crustaceans and pre-dinosaur nasties. Fun stuff.

HatwolfWorked on a new lore article for this month, centered around one of my fantasy species, the nachtgiger. I am really proud of the art and lore of this one.
Feedback is always widely appreciated ;)
