[b][i]What are they about?[/i][/b] I'm writing several stories taking place in a fantasy setting of mine, but the one where I've gone the furthest is one where two brothers reunite after not having seen each other in years, and the story is framed through their conversation: the brothers are opposites in some ways and alike in others, and their respective journeys show how they have dealt with their difficulties, and if they have succeeded or failed in their dreams, goals, methods, and growth. [b][i]How long have you been working at it?[/i][/b] The brother-story, I've written on since July 2016. It is planned to be around three to five books. [b][i]What do you think about your story stands out?[/i][/b] I feel that I've made a richly detailed world with a well-designed cosmology and magic system, and that I've established a good theme both for the world and its characters. It is post-apocalyptic, and reflects humanity's struggle, both as individuals and as cultures, to learn from past mistakes, recognizing one's own flaws, and seek to overcome them. [i][b]What are you finding most challenging?[/b][/i] My stories (and roleplays) have a tendency to get bogged done by intricate plots and intrigues. Plots easily get overdone, and it is one thing to entertain a group of players and another to try and hook an audience for a book. Marketing and getting known isn't easy, editing is tough, and the more loose parts a story has, the easier it gets to either confuse or annoy the reader, or worst of all, present them a boring and predictable plot.
