#FantasyIndiesFebruary 15: Romantic movie recs

I love fairy tale stories, Cinderella ones in particular.

For romance I recommend literally Cinderella (Disney) for nostalgia, Pride and Prejudice (BBC 1995), Ever After (1998), and Working Girl (1987) also nostalgia for me.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders 15: Laws

The Triempery's laws are made by humans but in part they are "kept" by the godborn, whose gift for building consensus around those laws means the Triempery's people feel these laws are whole and right.

Laws are administered by courts. Khelds have their own courts.
Hey, #FebruaryWorldbuilders! This week is about laws and the legal/court system in your fictional worlds. Today's Q: Who makes the laws? Does your world have a king? A council? An all-powerful God rules directly or through somebody else? Is it total anarchy? Just a village elder?

#WIPSnips The word for February 15 is NEVER

Never say never... but it's such a great word! In this bit from THE RILL LORD, Arne tells Hans that he's noticed something about Hans's relationship with Dorilian.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary Day 15

Romantic books & movies? I still love the 1995 serial version of "Pride and Prejudice." And 1998's "Ever After." For books, I've always enjoyed Victoria Holt, Marion Chesney... I'm more into sweet angst, longing & a little suspense than spicy, I guess.

Voerlund: aside from various regional rights and criminal charges decided upon via votes all the way from local burgomasters to highest ranking Knights and Counts, the only law of the whole land is the Lunderman honour system that gently informs people's actions.

In practice, yes. There are many different ideas people have had that all work: magical languages, bundles of potent objects, sigils, absorbing storm power, teleporting through darkness, some very distinct, some riffs on others, some syntheses of multiple ideas.

#Febchantment Day 15

This week we're discussing magic's role in the culture. So let's start with different approaches to magic.

Are there multiple different types of magic, or different philosophies? Are there multiple schools or disciplines? How do they differ?

The Nequinum world exists outside of our earth's time (& space).

Also, on the Jubilant Garden Island (far in the Myriad Ocean), time & aging is slower (10 years can be a millennium outside the island).
#FebruaryWorldbuilders, let's talk about time shenanigans. Are there places or situations in your fictional world where time works differently? Do you have time loops, time dilation (sped up or slowed down), or time travel? Does your world branch into different timelines?
