so I'm quite into world-building

and recently I decided to make a wiki for my latest """"project"""", because it's an invaluable way of managing all the sprawling information, not to mention it makes it all look very 'official', which gets my creative dick hard

i'm completely bored of elves, dwarves, dragons and all that, which have been done to death and by far more talented writers, so i set out to create all my own races, and tried to put a bit of a science-fantasy spin on everything. even made up the solar system, because i'm a slut for astrology. i'm trying to lean more towards planescape: torment and the like, but it's still pretty nebulous at the moment. i haven't avoided every cliché, but it's a WIP

i've been doing this for a while now, purely for fun, and i've started getting curious about how it would all come across to someone who's never seen any of it. if anyone's interested, i'd love to know if any of this is fun to read. anything and everything here is subject to change, and there's plenty of 'lorem ipsum' fillers and other unfinished bits, but there's a good amount of complete stuff too:

http://sojourn-mythos.wikia.com/wiki/Sojourn_Wiki

i doubt i'll ever write a full story around it, i just find it a fun exercise and have kinda structured it as if the story already exists (with quotes and such), which it doesn't. but yeah, is any of it interesting? or should i really clean it up more?

(that other story I was working on is shelved for now until my inspiration returns)

this looks pretty interesting man, i've considered doing a similar thing myself with Kos (my ongoing nonsense psychotic magic post-apocalypse). i'll check this out & tell you my thoughts

When I was in my late teens/early 20s I was really into online roleplay and with a friend created these massive, sweeping storylines full of dozens of characters of all different kinds of races and shit like that. Everything had a history dating back hundreds of years, there were family trees and shit...fucking nuts. All for something only the two of us ever read.

Miss doing creative shit like that.
