world building

The setting is Earth—but it isn’t. In truth, our universe is a hollow shell compared to the rest of creation, a bare and quiet space lacking the density, energy, and complexity of the higher realms. Every universe is ranked by how dense its energy is—how alive it feels, how strange it...

In the twisted remains of the modern era, horrors both man-made and otherworldly walk among us. Most do not know. Most are not meant to. But some know. Some remember. And others... hunt. Across America, echoes of true terror linger like radioactive ash. Slasher legends stalk rural...

Chapter 1: Guilty as Charged! The august imperial throne stood before me as I was forced to kneel before my father. Siblings on the left and the right all stared at me with mixed feelings. Some were glad, others were upset for thinking of me 'above' the charges levied against me, and a little...

So decided to set up a crossover with Helldivers 2 and Murder Drones. This is my second fan fic so I'm going to see how it goes. 2084. Copper 9. Surface. Near Facility 12. Stepping out of what used to be Facility 12, Sergeant Caloman surveyed the chaos. Fire raged uncontrollably across the...

Beginning Notes Authors Note #1: This is my first time ever writing a fanfic, especially one that's going to be as long as I think it's going to be. In fact, the last time I did a story was for a writing competition when I was 13 (I'm not counting school assignments) and even then, my mom was...

Prologue Rydberg woke with a jolt, his head sinking into a pillow that felt simultaneously soft yet unnaturally cold. A chill slithered down his spine, not the familiar coolness of his dorm room's air conditioning, but something sharper, more invasive. His groggy mind tried to brush it off as...

Originally written for RareFemSlash Exchange 2024 on AO3 with the prompt "Scientist on a Space Mission/Other Scientist With A Radically Different Field of Expertise" Before the grandeur of it all Like most of the crew, Olwen loved the station's cafeteria; it was, after all, the only...

We all know the tale. The XIIth Primarch is stolen from the Emperor of Mankind, spirited to a far-flung world where he is raised as a slave and violated in the most sacred aspect of his being. He is reunited with his Father, at the cost of his found family and his last scraps of conscience for...

This is another one of my unsuccessful threads putting it here since Jujutsu Kaisen manga has ended. It's a thread for fan made cursed techniques Innate Cursed Technique: Cursed Finger gun You form one of your hands as a finger gun. This finger gun fires Bullets of cursed Energy. The bullet it...

Ok so I, well I won't say I created the setting because it's pretty heavily inspired by a game or project called Jinn Hunter. The creator's YouTube channel is called Venom Moe and they even have a game on steam! I hope it's different enough to not be a straight up ripoff but ehh. I'm sourcing...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDbeqj-1XOo It is a time of unprecedented change and of great conflict. With each passing year, it seems that mankind reaches ever greater heights of technological progress, with far too few speaking up to question whether or not such progress is truly necessary...

Chapter 1: Arrival to Midgard The first thing to sear into the stranger's awareness was light. Bright morning sunlight blared through the clear sky above, free to stab into innocent eyes. Wakefulness was pounded into the brain behind them like a housewife caught in the 500 pound grip of an ugly...

Ok so the basic world is called earth or Terra. Terra is a huge planet and largely unexplored. Every year is 24 months. Meaning it is 730 days. But every day is not 24 but rather it is 52 hours. There are 50 continents on Terra. North American does exist but it's as long as 3 quarters of our...

Ok so this is a fun little thought exercise. You don't actually have to add on or interweave your stories or characters with mine even though I do kinda imagine them as the central protagonists in the story. But the setting here is pretty big and can be bigger depending on what you add if you...

Rules of thread Each major realm can have at minimum 4 minor stages and at maximum 12 minor stages stages Once you post a major realm someone else has to post one next before you post again Divergent major realms are allowed as long as you say you what the previous realm was Quote quote the...

This is a collaborative setting construction forum thread. The objective is to combine our shared talents to build an magical school setting. The school in question will probably be pretty large - more of an university with labs and dorms for adult students than a Harry Potter-style boarding...

So this may seem confusing but basically, you can create a character. A race, an object, an anomaly or even an event and talk about it. There are a few rules. You have to talk about the general background. Why it happened or if it's a mystery in case of events. Basically the origin of them. You...

Islands of Adventure- A Magipunk journey of discovery and heroism! Intro Long ago in the ten Elemental Realms there existed the legendary Adventurers Guild who from their Isles of Hope defeated the Empire of Shadows and led the Ten realms into an era of peace and prosperity with every inhabitant...

I watch death battle of bowser and doctor eggman and thought why not do our favorite dragon turtle : you wake up but you find yourself as Boy: male bowser : + 30 to strength and + 50 to charima and 25 to intelligence + 40 magic and 7 extra minion squads and + 3 points and you get 8 special...

To start off, we'll create three timelines, all containing some form of Earth. Every one of these timelines will have a single polity of focus at the beginning, each of which possessing a population equal to a cube number. As for right now, let's start with determining the population of TL-1's...

So here are the rules. Create a race they can be a fantasy race or scifi race. Describe their appearance. Their place of origin and general background. Where they frequent or if they have an empire. And any innate abilities they may have. If you want to you can also talk about a certain member...

You can post four facts about it any time that you wish. You can add anything you want to the setting as long as it doesn't mess with established facts. You can add to character backstories where you feel there are gaps as long as they don't contrast with what has already been said by them...

Basically you can post four facts about the setting any setting to its total structure. In all effect it's essentially a multiverse. Don't contradict others. Have fun! 1. This place is called the Absolutiocosm, and it is called that for it is absolute. No one created and it has no limits. There...

Darkness. A Friend. A Fall. A… Loss? Confusion. ...Restoration. "Whoa-ho-ho! Not gonna make a move to get take that back? Too scared?" The Koffing laughs, floating beside Zubat. Flora, the nice Chikorita who I just met, just whimpers in place. "Meh, c'mon let's get outta here."...
