Huh, just noticed something in my own writing, Dzanya is loosely based on a country from a story I worked on in 2009, since I never ended it and the area only showed up later, I never had worked out the details. But the aesthetic kinda kept going. Today I found some old notebooks and it was a bit weird, there were less similarities overall than I expected, but then there were these random little details like some of the land being swampy and only accessible by crossing a stormy badland, which I had honestly forgot yet somehow resurfaced 10 years later. It's kinda neat, makes me wonder if I could find another "new" idea I had recently already written in some decade old note.
