Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Oof haven't been there in a long time. When I used it, it was a fun place for writing advice and discussing fiction. Loads of nerdy fanbases there and loads of fanfic naturally. I had my potterhead era there and its where I discovered lord of the rings (beyond the movies) and wheel of time etc.
And now I'm making a map of my own world drawing mountains making sure I know where the tectonic plates are, creating rivers making sure I know the topology of my land. Creating a new language from scratch. Creating gods and their stories, religions and their rules. A rough history of 50000 years so I can include none of that in a story I intend to write just so there's good world building. That world building knowledge comes from tumblr.
