Literally Valthoraxe;

In exchange for a bountiful harvest, the hive is safe. The elder one, smoke bringer and invulnerable goliath, makes it so. A strange and unknowable being, it brings with it arcane artifacts and demands we sacrifice our honey, and in return it grants protection to the swarm

About the writing craft — Masterlist

Hello everyone! Since the followers on this tumblr have grown a little since I first started back in March, I've thought about doing a recap on the writing advice / craft posts I've done.

As you know, I am quite picky in calling in "writing advice", so these are much more meant to be like a "behind-the-scenes" "take-what-you-want" kind of posts.

[Disclaimer: the posts refer to a specific fanfiction, but they can be applied to anything—and I do apply them to original stories too)

PRE-PRODUCTION: Plotting, Inspiration, Ideas, Character design

About the fear before beginning to write a long story

Designing characters: The characters and the leitmotivs

On how I plot and divide the chapters

The foreshadowing series: How I introduced clues all along to foreshadow some events in the story (Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 coming soon.)

POST-PRODUCTION: Editing, rewriting

In killing your darlings when something doesn't work—and how necessary it is

On editing (from a real-life editor): The macro, the micro, an introduction to everyone

WRITING IN GENERAL

On why Nanowrimo doesn't work for me and what I do about it

On why I don't believe in "Writing advice"—and you should just read

On the difference between fiction and reality—and how people nowadays just confuse the tw

If this is of any need to you, don't hesitate to save it or reblog it! I'm still writing about writing, but I thought there was no harm in doing a master list if anyone can find it interesting.

Also, do not hesitate to hit the ask box!

Tomorrow I will reveal a very important aspect of Alterra.

Note that I am trying to limit myself to posting about Alterra once a week, because I will otherwise never shut up. I have way too much random tidbits of information and lore and will just ramble on for 7 hours straight until nobody is willing to talk to me anymore.

That third one is very important.

It’s important to recognize the difference between “I’m nitpicking scientific facts because I’m willfully ignoring how suspension of disbelief, fantasy, and sci-fi work and just trying to be obnoxious about how unrealistic this is”, and “I’m nitpicking scientific facts because there are actually some intriguing worldbuilding possibilities if we use them that can add another dimension to the story”, and “I’m nitpicking scientific facts because considering the real-world implications of how this would happen are FUCKING HILARIOUS”
