Gothic'Verse

Been writing in this universe and permutations of it for... aeons. It is a supernatural being based conspiracy/shadow war world with a coming Armageddon. My main protagonist is trying to win the unwinnable and also hedge his bets with an off-planet exodus.

Like with various prompt and card communities, looking to use this community's tables to flesh out bits and pieces; however, I have a fluid canon at this point, as I continually tweak bits and pieces to better suit. It's a near-Earth. Most things are familiar, but some have changed due to differing histories and cataclysms.

Also, thank you for this comm and HI!

Setting/Universe: "Etreverse"

Etreverse is only a codename for the world's history. The actual world is unnamed. There are five main races coexisting, along with a few others living on their own. The planet is divided into many nations, usually with around six superpowers. Each of the five races has a "Ketirra", a sort of godlike being, and each one of them backs one of five of the six superpowers.

There are two periods in history that I'll be detailing. The first one is about the rise of the most famous Ketirra who had the longest reign ever, and is more high fantasy than anything. The second takes place 1000 years after the first period, and is more sci-fantasy what with the technological advancements they've had in that 1000 years.

It's a verse I've been working on for ages but without ever actually getting anywhere. I more or less have all the major players set, and a basic timeline of events. Just need some motivation to write, and I'm hoping to use the tables to fill in all the blank spots in my head.

Setting/Universe: Great Loss


"I've always found it quite ironic, the way we call it the Great Loss. It made sense in the beginning - the way the wave is said to have destroyed everything and killed almost everyone in the biggest cities - because everybody lost something or someone: Survivors would say "I'm so sorry for your loss" when listening to the stories of other survivors; and the government kept saying that the... "event" was a "great loss of lives", "a great loss to our nation". Great loss of this. Great loss of that. Nothing more appropriate than calling it a Great Loss.
But now? Now some of us get our daily bread within the limits of the Loss, even as it continues making us lose so much sometimes. We should change it's name, I think. Maybe just Loss, or something lighter, like Wilds. We keep calling it the Great Loss, but nowadays I think it gives us more than takes."


The world was set back in time due to a mysterious event that annihilated most of the biggest urban areas; Very few survived, and all of the technology and most advanced science was lost. Many centuries later, a new society slowly arrives, as the coastal areas and islands started to gather villages and cities. Kingdoms were remade, older technologies were recreated, and sailing is reaching a new golden era as these new civilizations prepare to rediscover the world. There is still danger, however: Inland, the Great Loss is still strong, and its unpredictable effects are still seen. Mutations and illusions pour from the ruins of the old cities, protecting the treasures that lie within them; Beings with devastating powers and evil thoughts are born, bringing disgrace and destruction to the villages, and the farther away you go from the coast, the more dangerous it gets. Sill, our protagonist wishes to live freely, outside the fortified walls of his homeland, and when his mentor brings home a strange child from the Loss, he thinks it might be just what he was waiting for...


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

I've worked in this for quite some time, so yeah. The first part is a quote from the book. I'm planning to try and publish it - But it's still not quite polished as much as I'd like, so I'll use these prompts to try and make it a little more rounder and solid while I'm writing the actual chapters.

It's probably the first time I've ever made something of this universe public.I'm planing to do a series of books, and Great Loss is the title of the first one; giving away the others would be spoiler-y.

Deleted and reposted for the 5th fucking time because I can't write correctly.

Setting/Universe: The GLITW - The Greatest Library in the World

Long story short, I wrote The GLITW for NaNo'10. Some people created amazing art and covers for it and I promised to have it published with CreateSpace (free copy), but those 50k words are really not good. I want to get back into the spirit of The GLITW and write something that can be published without shame.

Also, English is not my first language and I need to keep using it to stay proficient. I hate any form of critique (yeah, I know >_>), although this is probably what I need most right now.

For those interested:
Synopsis: The Greatest Library in the World

You think that working in a library is a piece of cake? Well, think again...

Long, long time ago, when the world was created, the Highest Authority brought into existence The Greatest Library in the World. The entity made responsible for this noble establishment was Hshe, the master of all words and communication. Hshe himself chosen librarians to work in the Greatest Library in the World and made them immortal, closed in the library building they served the higher purpose of preserving every written word on the planet..., that is, until they went berserk and started killing people.

Hshe hunted down all of his crazy librarians except one and began looking for the new employees - the brightest scientists, the best specialists and the most dedicated librarians from all over the world. They were given an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Now they are here, they can’t leave and the only retirement option is death. Still, the life goes on. Forging manuscripts for illegal smokes is at least a bit of fun and you can always count on acquisition team to visit the black market for you.

You think that working in a library is a piece of cake? Well, if were chosen to work for the Greatest Library in the World you’re screwed. And the cake is a lie.

Setting/Universe: DEFCON: Fade Out

In 1983, a series of mishaps, misunderstandings and unfortunate coincidences led to a full-scale nuclear war between the US and USSR. One hundred years later, the world is a different place where the United States of America is a fragmented land where recovery is haphazard.

The action takes place in and around the Toledo Base Camp in the East North Central Recovery Zone and involves a group of characters who are equal parts adventurers and scientists.

Basically, these stories are my attempt at doing a riff on the cheesy post-apocalyptic men's adventure survival novels of the 1980s. Books with titles like "Swamp Master" and "Doomsday Warrior" and heroes named "Rock" Rockson and Blade. In my case, I'm trying to write adventure stories with characters who don't fit the narrow-minded 80s adventure hero mold of white, cisgendered, straight manly men with rippling muscles and ridiculous amounts of guns and ammo. I'm also playing around with weird science (can't have cheesy 80s post-apocalypse without mutants!) and alternate history.

I'm thinking of using table B because it gives a nice mix of ideas.

Setting/Universe: Woof

Right, so I have a lot of projects on my plate right now, and I have no idea how well I'll be able to handle this in addition to all those. But I might literally implode if I don't start writing again, so let's go.

"Woof" is a spur-of-the-moment name for sort of a standard urban fantasy setting, with werewolves. There aren't any mafia-style turf wars between "packs", and there sure as hell aren't any vampires, but there's a lot of sociopolitical turmoil and bigotry. The world is more understated and mundane than, say, X-Men - and much more akin to the current social standing of the LGBT community in North America, and the U.S. in particular.

I have no characters and I have no plots. All I have for this world right now is an extensive meme I did once. I didn't have any particular plans for this world when I made it, but I like it too much to continue ignoring it. We'll see what comes out. :)

Setting/Universe: The Shining Worlds

Seen from darkness between universes, the shining worlds are a glimmering tangle of threads twisting over and through one another. From within, the intersection of worldstrands makes geography a nonlinear adventure that renders directions like "East of the sun and West of the moon" perfectly valid. A multitude of races, including the foxfaced people; sphinxes; manticores; satyrs; inklings, who have no mouths and pen nibs in place of their fingernails; lightning shapeshifters; and plain (but never boring) old humans coexist more or less peacefully in the shifting muddle of nations, countries, and kingdoms across the fractured landscape.

I have three main characters and two time periods. The one in the "past" involves Naveed, one of the sihara who can perceive minds as architecture that she can enter, observe, and even change. The "current" time looks at what happens when the worldstrands start to die from the perspective of Beechbone, a paraplegic genius with inkling calligraphy (ie. wordmagery), and Vervaine, a mindreaver, which is just as nasty a job description as it sounds. She can basically do what Naveed does, but she can also leave your mental architecture a burnt-out husk.

I'm looking forward to exploring this verse and, more importantly, seeing if I can make what seems coherent in my head make sense to other people. There's a lot of stuff that I think has the potential to be really neat or offputtingly weird. Introducing things like a library inside of a giant eel skeleton that my characters would take for granted without boring or alienating the reader should be a fun challenge. It's been a long time since I've written anything, thanks to grad school, so I'm rusty as an old saw.

Setting; Hell (Inside the devil's head)
Sort of post-apocalyptic/end of the world

It's based around souls who are trapped in hell after the devil won the apocalypse, but he hasn't actually won yet. It's sort of like a dream inside his head.

The main characters vary. Primarily it follows around the human's, who lost almost all of their basic human characteristics. Such as compassion, remorse.... And then the obvious, Lucifer and his demons.

I haven't done much with the world yet, but after a week full of vivid dreams I feel it is time to finally put the idea to rest on paper... or the computer screen.

I am most likely going to fiddle around with Table B.

Setting/Universe: Bright City Shadow City

A single city is split into two halves, which are colloquially known as the "Bright City" and the "Shadow City". Located above the Shadow City with all known passages between the two guarded against people from the Shadow City from climbing to the Bright City, the Bright City is a city of luxuries and decadence; life is, as they say, easy in the Bright City. If, that is, social maneuvering doesn't get you sent to the Shadow City. There's a distinctly smaller population in the Bright City in comparison to the Shadow City; the greater population is part of why life in the Shadow City is harder. Shadow City denizens justifiably view their lives as a fight just to survive, particularly since they usually have to make do with the discards of the Bright City.

I've only got a cast of four at this point, with half being originally from the Bright City and half from the Shadow City. All four, however, live their lives in the Shadow City. I haven't written much in this setting since I retooled it somewhat after a defunct collaborative project. I'd like to explore it more, as well as developing out both the existing cast and potential new characters.

Setting/Universe: The Myrrosta

I completed the 100originalfics table over on LJ, but after I was done I kept writing new pieces. So clearly I'm not done with the prompt thing yet.

So, the story takes place in a world where humans have mostly pushed aside and subjugated the other two major sentient species, the salkiys and ekalaps. The salkiys have this prophecy that one day a savior will come and return them to their former glory as masters of the world. The story itself is concerned with the life of Merrus, whom the salkiys are convinced is the savior. The problem is that he disagrees. Loudly.

The cast of characters is huge, because the story follows pretty much all of Merrus's life (so it also covers a wide time period). The actual story is meant to be a trilogy, of which I've finished the first book and half of the second.

Setting/Universe: The Elemental Set.

In this case, while they are the younger elemental set in our shared universe, they were the first one created and the only one where the characters belong solely to me. I spent 45 minutes making this icon of them so I could make this comment. *dork*

They live in a normal, non-alternate United States of America, where everything is the same except for how it's connected to a place called the Shadowlands and therefore has magic spillover -- this world is the Sunlands, and it, too, was created by and is controlled by the five elements: Air, Fire, Shadow, Water and Earth.

A 'set' is what happens when you get a mage of each one, all with Adept potential, born within four months of each other, destined to work together. In this case, my entire set ended up living together at boarding school in Michigan, which is how they found out they were a set. Most of them didn't even know they had magic before then (which is unusual) -- the two who did were the Earth and Water mages, cousins Mara and Jasper Tamney, who thought perhaps they were destined to be partners ...

Since, of course, the previous well-known in history set had been Cassandra, Prometheus, Phaedra, Aphrodite and Epimetheus, and since then nobody had really talked about sets. The Tamneys assumed there wasn't about to be another one. Especially since there weren't really Shadow mages left in the world anymore.

Which, of course, wasn't the case. One night, playing around a fireplace, Hillary Rhodes came up with the great idea to "summon a fire god" (Hillary was a bit of a ditz). Her "incantation," shared with Marguerite "Meg" Barton, attracted the attention of fellow student Emma Cresslin, who turned out to be a Shadow mage in secret -- as well as attracting the attention of Air and Fire themselves. Air took a liking to Hillary, who was an air mage, and Fire plain fell in serious, romantic love with his mage of the group, Meg.

That was in 2007. Now they're mostly all living apart, and two of them are in romantic relationships with their elements (which is extremely unusual, although anyone who knows about magic and everyone in the Shadowlands are aware that the Elements are, in fact, people) -- Mara and Earth and Fire and Meg. Meg, a career figure skater, recently won an Olympic bronze medal. Hillary is attending Brown University. Emma is at McGill. Mara graduated from the New College of Florida and is working at a conservatory in Austin, TX. Jasper is working on cleanup in the Gulf. But they're still together, in their minds, in their promises to each other, in their magical work, and every other Tuesday.

The thing is, though, I'm not a fantasy writer! I am a slice-of-life and mystery writer, and these characters just happen to have a fantastical background. My pieces will not be focusing on their magic. :) They may, however, feature the older/"ancient" set (esp. as Emma is romantically involved with Prometheus) and the Elements themselves. Still appearing largely as people. Prometheus, Cassandra, Epimetheus, Earth, Air and Fire are [personal profile] sartorius' creations.

Setting/Universe: Lost the Sky

As humanity began to push the boundaries of technology and magic during the time of the industrial revolution, the shifting balance of power set the stage for two hundred years of battles in preparation for the end of the world, and then left the rest of us to pick up the pieces afterward.

Setting/Universe: Still don't have a name for it, but it's a fantasy setting with lots of seafaring. Over a millenia ago, the two gods of water warred against each other. Their battle lasted many lifetimes, resulting in each of them finding ways to manipulate humanity. One created new kinds of sentient life; in retaliation, the other gave humans magic, to control those beings. When finally one god triumphed over the other, the nature of water was changed: with only one power to rule it, it calmed and became stagnant.

Now there are people trying to revive the second god of water, which would, no doubt, begin the war anew. Unfortunately, most people have long forgotten what happened the first time around...


It's really a story I've been picking at for ages, I just... never writing more than a few hundred words at a time for it. And not, y'know, 100 words that connect to each other.

Setting/Universe: Gothic Grapes

After Gwen Price’s father attacks both her and her mother, she is swept out of her home and away from the only people she’s ever known. Forced to live with her distant aunts in a different state isn’t a pleasant experience. To top it all off, Gwen soon discovers that the supernatural creatures she’d once thought were myth are far too real. As a half-human living in a world where humans are either feared or food, Gwen begins to realize that learning to belong is about more than just shaking hands and playing nice.

--

My hope is to eventually make Gothic Grapes into something like a supernatural soap opera, with lots of different characters and plotlines. I've written more in this universe over here. Warning: it does contain several triggers, including domestic violence, abuse, and murder.

I'm super excited for this challenge, even though I'm having trouble deciding between two of the tables. I can't wait to get started! :)

Setting/Universe: TAO 'verse

I've only written short bits and pieces so far and am developing this as I go along. The 'verse contains several interconnected storylines. The overall setting is turn-of-the-19th-century semi-fantasy Japan (I took some liberties, mainly with the stability of the Tokugawa regime, foreign treaties, the Restoration, and gender equality. But that's all in the background). The main focus is characters and events at one of the ruling-class boarding schools near the capital (Kyoto in this case). I see it as slice-of-life, drama and romance, with one storyline that has a more supernatural flavour.


Oh, one question: is there a possibility of a table with more writer's choice squares or something, because if I were aiming to complete a table I'd also run into prompts that aren't applicable due to era and/or culture.

Anyway, thanks for creating this challenge!

Setting/Universe: Campaign Verse is I guess what I'll call it.

This setting started as something based off of a DnD campaign that I played for a few months and evolved into a completely separate animal that's been a little hard for me to tackle.

I have a trilogy planned in the shadows of my brain. I have a prologue book outlined on paper. And I have a first couple of chapters that I hate with a devastating vengeance written in my word processor. I'd been planning everything with a giddy excitement for months, which was perhaps my downfall. The second I started writing, the words in my head started stumbling over each other, eager to be put down and none of them had the fluidity or passion that they did in my mind. I got discouraged and then just stopped writing.

Writing has long been something I've loved doing, and I love this story that's trapped in my head and I want other people to love it someday, too. Hopefully, this kind of structured prompt-based environment will help me develop some of the smaller details and voice problems I've been having in writing the novel itself.

It is a fantasy and I believe I will be focusing strictly on the prologue novel here, which takes place 200 years prior to the meat of the series, during the foundation of the ____ Empire. (No permanent name for it yet.) Andren, the younger son of the deposed King of Rohsfoll, has been a trader for the past 15 years, and the Captain of his own ship for almost as long, when a storm pushes his ship into a dense fog and eventually causes them to run aground. The land they encounter is one not on any cartographer's map, the region marked only by the edges of the wall of fog that never dissipates. With no way to leave, they must simply try to survive.

Setting/Universe: 'Unknown'

I am using TABLE D - PARANORMAL/SUPERNATURAL. I am creating the characters and setting as I answer the prompts.

Why call the universe 'Unknown'? The story will have an element of mystery to it. The main character will start the story with questions that must be answered.

Anything else specific about the setting? Definitely modern day. I am not sure which way to go with this. Right now, I'm leaning toward a touristy community outside a ghost town. The town was abandoned in the 1940's (insert supernatural reason why). A new town was built down the road. The main character's home is inside both the old and the new town. At one point, I considered having the m.c. run a bed-and-breakfast or a 'Museum of the Weird.' I'm still not sure how the m.c. makes a living. Then again, I may have it be Anytown, USA and have the main character find the strange. (Sorry for babbling, just thinking things out through typing)

Warning: Mysteries + Paranormal= Darkness and Death.

Universe: Melluman Chronicles

Basically this is my most developed multiple novel universe with at least four novels planned. While one novel is pretty much developed, one is only half way developed and the other two are only just ideas that haven't really been developed. There might be other stories outside these novels that I want to develop that focus on things like how the magic system works and how the religion works.

All of the novels usually focus on fire mages and a particular reincarnation cycle based on four of the five elements which goes through different periods. Fire happens to be the period of change and destruction and upheaval, hence why the novels focus on those times. However I would like to explore the water, earth and wind parts of the cycle.

It's an original fantasy universe that focuses on the country of Melluma, particularly its history and religion. There's inspiration from European countries with a slight inspiration from other sources.

The guy in my icon above is one of the characters.

Setting/Universe: "Sam I Am"

The "Sam I Am" universe started as a vivid dream several years ago, became a failed attempt at NaNoWriMo in 2008, followed immediately by equally failed attempt at Script Frenzy in 2009. I've written snippets of it since, in which characters have been stabilized and some of the background established, but most of it still remains stuck in my head.

The story revolves around a person named Sam, who has the bizarre ability to change bodies every time ze falls asleep. (Think "Doctor Who" style regeneration, with less fanfare.) Sam's ability makes a normal life somewhat impossible, and a good portion of the story focuses on the odd jobs ze does to get by. Other topics of focus include the source of Sam's powers, adventures ze had before finding the current status quo, and zir companions in the Doctor Who analogy - at story's start, two teenaged/twenty-somethings named Tatiana and Bryant, who lost their previous jobs because of Sam and hold zir accountable.

Honestly, I think "Sam I Am" would be better suited to a visual medium such as a graphic novel. Unfortunately, I can't draw. If I'm going to badger someone else into drawing it, I should at least have the story written, so I'm going to give this a shot. Wish me luck!

I'm a huge fan of paranormal fantasy/romance stories - it's something of an obsession now-a-days. It's about the supernatural and war and that kind of thing.

I hope this the prompts on this community could help me with that.

Setting/Universe: The City / The City of [insert number here] Dreams

I appear to have lost my original notes about this setting, so here's an attempt from scratch.

A tower city, rising above the water. The population are all tall and beautiful. Sounds perfect, yes? Well, there is always a grimy underside - in this case literally. Biotech beyond the law, a class divide so wide you could drive a bus through, and of course everyone with the power and influence to do anything is getting along just fine.

I plan to turn this into a novel eventually. I have the first chapter on my dw, you'll need to comment to be allowed access. I know so much about the workings of the city, and a few members of the population (Phic, Suzy, Agnes) and a little about a few other charecters (Andreas, the two bald blokes, Phic's bloke). I don't know if bringing people in from outside is the way to start this novel, or whether it will in fact just turn into a tabletop setting.

But this comm - and table 1 - should help me find out.
