Basil Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Re: Challenge Lists Okay gang, time to inspire me. There's a common "writing challenge" technique by which a writer will attempt to incorporate a series of seemingly disparate elements into a story. I need some challenge lists of five items each. They can't be so outlandish as to be impossible to reconcile (though a challenge is good), and they have to be genre appropriate. In this case, the genre is a gritty low-fantasy assuming a cultural analog to the golden era of greece or the early roman kingdom (though there will be some notable differences because its not greece or rome). Basically, a sword and sandal epic with subtle, but powerful magic (mostly demonology based). So, please - challenge away!

Should be great potential for bloodshed and demonic influence. Or maybe that's just what everyone will think, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
