[QUOTE="Nick P., post: 73157981, member: 412994"] This is my first post here on this sight, so sorry if I screw up any particular conventions or rules. I've been playing D&D for about 4 years now, and I've hosted and run my own gaming sessions for about 6 months. When trying to write Fantasy stories to fit into the game world though, I'm been finding a great deal of resistance in myself to writing and thinking through the world and its story. I'm having a hard time getting through my own internal debate on what a fictional world has to have to make sense to me: a creator God and everything that flows downstream from that idea. It seems like no matter what I do I am stuck thinking in circles of how my world has to make sense theologically, and honestly it's pretty frustrating. I resorted to ripping off and re-skinning other creative works so I wouldn't have to thoroughly commit to something that didn't feel right, but since everything doesn't feel right I'm not sure what I ought to do. Does anyone here have any experience with writing Fantasy as a Christian and the certain peculiarities that it entails? I have specific questions, but this post in in danger of being obnoxiously long if I post them all, so I'll summarize it by saying I'm suffocating at the bottom of a theological bog with my writer's block. Anyone else been in my shoes before? [/QUOTE]
