Last week, I listed 3 of
my ‘uiverses’, the ones where I seem to spend most of my time these days. I
thought I would introduce more of my universes today, some I hope to explore
more fully … ‘someday’. Here are a few more of the ‘universe names’ that occupy
my main ‘writing’ file on my computer.
D&D is for – no, not our Saturday night adventures written
up as a story. This folder is for stories of a fantasy nature, set in a place
that might resemble a D&D land, or a Tolkein-like setting. Probably this
will be a home for shorts, because if I write an entire novel using a set of
characters, I tend to give those characters their own universe, as shown in the
next universe:
FG is for Fantasy Gumshoe. I’m still in the planning stages with
this one. I see a world rather similar to Glen Cook’s Garrett series, perhaps
with a splash of Jim Butcher’s Dresden for a little different
flavor. There are no stories in this folder, yet, just some maps, character
thoughts, possible history.
D is for Dohio. The Dohio are similar to the Atlans; a
matriarchal society that does not think much of men. The differences are that
the Dohio live on Earth after some holocaustic social & technological
breakdown, and they do not have the mental abilities or Powers of the Atlans.
As the holocaust hovered on the horizon, a collection of men in the Ohio Valley sent their wives and
children to live in the caves that riddle the valley, along with all the
supplies they could gather, including some livestock. The husbands were
supposed to join the families, but they didn’t, and by the time the Dohio dare
to venture out of the underground, the world is far different than the legends
described.
Well, that’s another 3 of
my universes. We aren’t quite half done yet. See you next week!
