[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 6963718, member: 6801219"] Like I mentioned before, don't feel bad if people don't respond. When I started getting help I had way less than you, but once people helped me get the ball rolling the quality of my little lore bits jumped up. This was immediately followed by people not helping as much anymore, which makes sense. Once you know the internal consistencies of your world, outside help only serves to muddy your mind, IMO, unless it is a question on a specific element, as in my Hive mind thread. Once you hit a certain quality of thought, you stop really needing help, I think, and any feeling that you do need help is more like common writer's block than an actual lack of an answer to your question. As I progress (much more slowly than you) through building my world, I find the answers to past questions, like little treasures my mind hid for me. It's quite fun, and at mystifying at times, when I hit that treasure chest, and open it to find a whole new nexus of threads in my world, connected to a few other points already, and with trailing threads that lead elsewhere if I care to follow them. Now, to help you do this, I would recommend simply writing down your questions, either in a note pad, on your computer, or even in your thread here. Just keep them all organized, and continue following your world's threads, and you may find the answer you are looking for. I don't think I really need to explain all of this, you probably already know all of it, but it bears repeating to not get worried if no one responds. Any artist, anywhere, will tell you the same thing, that the most important thing is your own thoughts on your work (Until you actually hit the paying work, by which time I think you will be beyond these issues.) Best of luck, and sorry if this doesn't help directly with your world. [/QUOTE]
