Scope
The motivation behind building fantasy2
I can't remove the heading and I'm mad
I'm just making it for fun. I'm not making any RPG or book or game or story or movie or ...
I want to explore fun things I think are fun to explore. like ancient history, and anthropology of religion. The focus is whatever I'm currently interested in focusing on.
It's also so I can more easily have original ideas when I want to enter a writing contest which bans fanfiction (and soft-bans historical fiction by virtue of all the judges not knowing anything about history).
Screw realism and whether you think it's a "good plot." That is not the goal. At all. I like my stupid little planet with my stupid little creatures.
