As an aside, I've decided that, going forward, I'm going to try to put up new threads on Wednesdays in order to make it a little more consistent. Also, in order to space it out at least a little bit, I'll only do it if the previous thread died before that week. I don't expect anybody else to stick to that schedule, this is just a personal commitment, but my hope is that this will help the general be more reliable to use for your own purposes.
I've been wanting to chat about my stories for a while. https://www.deviantart.com/samaster/art/Pink-Bloodmoon-Day-1-Pt-1-1267103838>Pink Bloodmoon Day 1, pt 1>Medieval Fantasy, bimbofication, erotic horror, prologueSo I came up with a bit of lore I want to explore for the setting, I'm just wondering how I have it come across. A reminder is the framing device is a maid going around delivering messages to guard captains across a castle during a big party. Not everything I'm gonna have come up is gonna be strictly plot relevant, a lot of it is just worldbuilding to get the idea A. this is a setting that exists prior to the camera rolling, and exists irrespective of the weird bimbofication nonsense, B. that there's a lot of politicking behind the scenes going on at this party, at least some of which will be relevant going forward. Now as to the thing I was thinking of adding- I'd been imagining an Eastern Roman Empire type country not too far down (if you are unfamiliar with the medieval history, think 'Rome + Christian + Greek + Medieval). That they are essentially in a military dictatorship following collapse. But I thought some fun lore would be in a previous crusaders belonging to a different church, that they sort of reoccupied several strips of land, and the Emperor in the intervening decades has got them all to declare fealty to him.Well I figured a cool twist is in the backstory there was one crusader who became a big vampire lord in the nearby area, and that the Order he was a part of decided to rebrand themselves as vampire hunters, and went back north to help fight him. Now the Vampire Lord is dead causing a power vacuum, and at the party these different crusader orders are sharing a space, with presumably the different orders doing some politicking. I'm just wondering how I might write a good scene to show this off.

Don't think I need much help I think I got the last chapter pretty well planned out.

I wanted to jump back on this quickly, but I've had some doctor stuff that made it hard to concentrate. Mostly dealt with, so I worked on part two a bit last night, so I'll post the WIP if anyone wants to check it out. >https://www.deviantart.com/stash/0268zmm83yjv
>>81128753I feel like that's a significant enough piece of backstory that if it's shown off in the narrative, readers will expect it to be important in some way, and so dedicating just one scene might end up being a let down. I could see it playing a role in the interpersonal dynamics between certain characters throughout the story.On the other hand, if you just want to show off the politicking, I thin the easiest answer is to just directly show the politicking. Like have a scene where two members of different orders are conspiring against a third, but secretly they're both planning to backstab each other in the process. Something like that could help set up the sheer depth of hostility between the orders.
>>81130465Well for right now I mostly have some character ideas and motifs I want to use in the 'main' story that I'm still sorting out. In part I'm writing these prologues to figure out what I want to do.On that note- I was thinking these aspects would be relevant->vampire hunters are largely taking up the power-vacuum in the Gyor Basin, and so are sort of the 'front line' on Craiova County's border. They likely represent the Church and what they'll be trying to do keeping a lid on the whole bimbofication plague going through the area>A representative of the Legatus League (Eastern Roman Empire like country) would show up as a main character, a red-haired amazon type. So in that case these backstories would come up, though they wouldn't directly impact the plot. I discussed last thread that I don't think every story needs to be brutally efficient with information, Tolkien put in a lot of extraneous information not strictly critical to the plot that helped the world feel like it existed outside the confines of the story. >Like have a scene where two members of different orders are conspiring against a third, but secretly they're both planning to backstab each other in the process. Something like that could help set up the sheer depth of hostility between the orders.Something like that is good, but the tone I'm striking is this is meant to be the calm before the storm. Everyone's playing nice because there's a good lull in fighting and order is reasserting itself in the area- major players are either looking to take advantage of this, or wait and see how things settle. So even factions that are natural enemies are making peace at the moment since nobody wants to 'jump the gun'. (cont.)
>>81130789As for a third faction- I was thinking the other power-player in the region is the 'Azab Sulatnate' (a mix of the Abbassids and Ottomans). Who are natural enemies to both the Achaean and Legatus churches (think the differences between Catholic, Orthodox and Islam). The history with them would be good to hint at as well, but I think that almost deserves a separate scene. The second scene that I was thinking of which might get into this- which I didn't bring up cause I think I had a tighter grip on it- would be when the maid reaches the gatehouse she was going to last chapter she sees the guards chatting up what is essentially an Elven Cossack- nomadic horseman. I thought up what I thought was a cool bit of lore where they are a bit similar to Circassians, who in real life were Orthodox christians on the Russian steppes what were often raided for slaves by islamic powers, but also very wealthy and prosperous mercenaries, even taking control of Egypt for a few centuries. And this guy is just living it up, telling tall tales and we get a glimpse into a whole separate power play happening on the other end of the continent. Which maybe is a good place to introduce some other concept that come up in the later scene?

>https://www.deviantart.com/samaster/art/Cursed-Clussy-Carnival-Ch-17-pt-2-1295236771>Cursed Clussy Carnival Ch. 17 pt. 3Alright I finished the chapter. Or- the current section, I figured I should split off this as another part to have something to release, since I had other moving parts to do that probably would have taken a while to write. That said it was fun to write, especially 'Lois' the nosy reporter. My main issue like always was just figuring out good scene transitions so in a lot of cases I just sort of gave up and just tried to find a way to end one thought and bring up another. If anyone wants to review this for me, I could use feedback on that specifically, if it's notable or could be improved. I'm constantly wondering what information the audience is aware of, interested in, or wants to see more of. That said, the story seems to be doing well- last chapter had more than 9000 views.
