I've been on this site since October, and have started writing one story with an excellent writing partner
. As we have settled into a good writing rhythm, I'm thinking the time has come to start up a second story, this time one that draws on my experience as a medievalist.
If I base myself on the experience of writing the Trueblood story, I generally write between 500 and 750 words, unless the action calls for more or less. I reply pretty quickly, though once we settle in, once every day or so seems to be the winning pattern. I'm OK with gore and violence, though it shouldn't be the point of writing.
At this point, I am looking for a medieval-inspired quest story, more towards the classic D & D type action, though if you guys have read Guy Gavriel Kay's stories set in medieval France, Spain and Northern Africa, you'll be close to what I am looking for. In those settings, I have done anthro characters in the past (a bear, a wolf and a panther) and would be happy to take any one of those characters up, although a humanoid race is also possible (elven, human, dwarf). I am interested in magic and wisdom lore as part of my character.
No detailed plots prepared at this point, but I enjoy world building. One very broad idea would be a world where human and anthro races have been living in peace around a central symbol that is stolen or a key temple that is desecrated, throwing the land into chaos. Two or more characters sent on a quest to recover the symbol or repair the damage discover that the ruler of one of the races, who happens to be the father of of a member of the group, is responsible for the desecration or theft.
