    Reading. In addition to (obviously) Brandon Sanderson's books I've read the basic classic Fantasy books - LotR, Narnia, Harry Potter - the ones that were popular in my country a few years ago - Riordan's mythologies, Artemis Fowl and the Inheritance Cycle, some books that I won't categorize like His Dark Materials trilogy, the Inkworld trilogy, the Underland Chronicles, Seven Wonders (by Peter Lerangis), the Sunlit Lands trilogy, the Books of Beginning trilogy, the Bartimeus trilogy, Lockwood & Co., The Chronicles of Pridain, Sabriel out of the Old Kingdom series, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, Spiderweek, (the two last ones I remember, but didn't like too much, really) some random Fantasy books from the local library, Ella Enchanted (apparently), the Last Unicorn (it's an amazing book, you should read it) Five Kingdoms and Beyonders by Brandon Mull, The Homeward Bounders, Archer's Goon, the Worlds of Chrestomanci series, Fire and Hemlock, the Magids duology, Black Maria, the Time of the Ghost, the Power of Three and Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones. I also write sometimes.
    Life? What is that? Never heard of such a thing, sorry. Now, if you allow me, there's this book I'm trying to read...

  1. So, two basic things here (this'll be a short one): first, my magic system - the Faunologos Mindgardening - is very close to complete, and I theoretically plan to write a story about it. I'll need, of course, to add a little to the worldbuilding, but I generally know how the world should look like, though I didn't try to draw a map yet, which probably will be necessary. Anyway, the question is what story to write? The original story I had for this world was a short story that took place in our world, and basically introduced a covenant of foxes discussing the effect of the quarantine on their work. This could work, but I'd want to expand a little bit. Any ideas? I wish to remind you that this world is all about representations, so it should be something connected to that. I considered using another story I had, which was based on Cinderella, but this one started with a weird idea which I don't know if I could make into a plot.

    Second, I've been thinking lately a little about the representation of afterlife in books, and though of writing a post about it. Would you care if I post it as a status update? @Ixthos, if you wish I could also write here a little about Judaism's opinion of such things, though it might be better to keep the religious discussions in the PM...

    Thank you for reading! And now I'm going to count on you all commenting on it. Practically stupid of me, I think.

    Oh, and unless you allow me to rumble here - don't except many status updates. I'm not exactly this kind of a person who writes those regularly.

      You can do that, though I'm a little confused by what you mean by you having ten books excluding Sanderson's?

      I wanted to write about the representation of afterlife in books, and I've thought of around ten books I know that have an afterlife in them, and that is without counting the Cosmere books, which also have references to afterlife. I'll admit, one of these books is the Silmarilion, in which though an afterlife exist - it doesn't really all that much interesting. I have there at least one book, though, that is practically only about afterlife. Hope it was clearer.

      Ahhh, that makes sense. Definitely do that if you wish, though for the Silmarilion there are two interesting points, being the divide between the fates of the Elves and the fates of Men, and the belief Dwarves have also. I look forwards to your posts :-)
