| Post subject: | Lend your world? | 
| I am currently writing a slightly odd novel, and some of the things that will be included are – your worlds. * malicious grin * But I'm am going to be polite (and legal  ) and ask y'all first.  I won't be using your world much – you can tell me how much you want it used – I won't be changing much – except in creepy ways  – and I can send you the bit of the story that it will be used in if you want (once I write it, of course). I don't know how many I will use, but I would love to have as many as I can. I would put acknowledgments in the book (I'm thinking they will be at the beginning of each chapter that includes anything acknowledgeable) to whoever let me borrow their world. And I will ask them lots of questions and try to get it as accurate as possible (as far as I mean to be accurate).  Help please? If you have any questions, please ask. (Oh, and if you have any plot points or characters you wouldn't mind me using in a slight way, that would be extra-and-specially nice!) | |

| *laughs* Hmm... I don't think any of my fantasy worlds are developed enough for this yet, but I am fascinated by the idea.  Maybe when I have a more developed world you can use it.   | |

Maybe when I have a more developed world you can use it.  Unfortunately...that up there is my story as well. ^  But if you told me what parts (inhabitants, cobha, terrain, etc) need to be specifically developed maybe I could work towards getting it to the point you'd want to borrow it.   | |

Full of monsters and things...   How much do you have? * straight face * Lycanis Mimetes wrote: This sounds cool!I'd love your worlds! And about development...well, it's more up to you two. It would actually be helpful to have a world that is not developed fully, but, if I used your worlds as such, there would then be a (possibly) published novel that portrays your worlds as not developed completely – which, considering the rather limited tools I'll have for doing any explaining about the worlds I interact in, might easily be taken by readers as 'not developed well' instead. * wry * Especially with the kind of main character I have. Soo...it's up to you. I can always do necessary explaining in all those book frills, but not everybody reads them of course. So I wouldn't blame you if you want to stick with Lycanis's idea. I'm perfectly willing to go with that too. Suiauthon Mimetes wrote: Hmm... I don't think any of my fantasy worlds are developed enough for this yet, but I am fascinated by the idea.

| You can feel free to borrow anything from Eartea. Actually, it would be really cool if you did. | |

Okay.  Well...I think in my  case my world isn't developed really enough, but I can't tell since I'm not sure how you'd use it.  Problem is, you probably don't know much how you'd use it since you don't know a lot about what it's like.   | |

| Hmm...I'll admit, I'm quite intrigued by this idea. Can I ask how you'll be using our worlds? I might be able to lend you one of mine, but I'd kind of like to know how it's going to be used first.   | |

| This sounds like an extremely interesting concept. I've toyed with the idea due to the fact that I have many universes in my book series that can be traveled between... Anyway, let me know how you will be using it, and I can certainly give you information you need. Only one of the continents is really developed, so if you stick around there it will be easy to give you information, but if you want to visit anywhere other than the continent of Vitarentel, then it may be a little interesting.   | |

I'm just revising, so my brain is muddled.That is up to you a great deal. I could use it very little, a lot, only mention it in passing, or anything in between. And as for what I will use them for, they will merely be settings, and nothing that occurs in the novel will have occurred in your world (the cobha of where my story is set in makes it possible). I will not change them...in so far as details...but I will have to -- * pauses * Let me put it this way -- it will not actually be your world, it will be an immersible portrayal of your world, in another place, a place where my novel is set. Which means that it will conform to the various standards of the place it is portrayed in. Anyway, I will give you veto power over the portrayal of your world -- I will show you what I write, and you can tell me if there is something you object to. And if you want I can write up a random excerpt of the sort of idea of what the portrayal of places will be like. Novadar Mimetes wrote: This sounds like an extremely interesting concept. I've toyed with the idea due to the fact that I have many universes in my book series that can be traveled between...* grins * Thanks. And about undeveloped places...as I was mentioning to Suiauthon and the Wolf, if you would not mind me portraying your world, or whatever place in your world that I happen to get landed in, as undeveloped, that would be a great asset. The only reason I would not want to use an undeveloped world is because you might not like it, like I said here...

The more I can use the happier I'll be.   | |

| Count me in.  Out of my four fantasy worlds we can probably find something to work with.  You would think I could combine a few of my plot ideas, but noooooooo.  The plots have to rely on completely different sciences and/or cultures.   | |

| Sure, I'm game! My world is pretty developed, other than the lack of a map (I'm working on that tonight, hopefully; maybe I'll bring it to my friend's birthday party tomorrow and have him help--he's a good artist, unlike me). It's called Solarii; if you have any questions, PM me.   | |

| How 'bout ideas? I have so many that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to write books for them all. If you want, you can search the vast stockpile stored away in my brain and see if there's anything useful, assuming that I'm not planning on using it anytime soon.   | |
