Fantasy Opus - Maps & Stuff

Just topped 102,000 words, and I've written the cardboard and blu tak battle! (See the previous post).

It was a bit of a brain dump, and will probably need some heavy editing when I get to the first big read-through. In fact, I might be looking for volunteers.

I did say a few months back that I would upload the world map onto this blog, but I then read something scary about google owning the copyright. I've since found out that's not right. I automatically own the copyright to all original material posted on this site, regardless of who hosts it.

So I've decided to put the map on the site (when it's finished) along with some background details on some of the characters and places.

I do have a few other sketches, but after seeing the great Potter sketches from J.K.Rowling, I'n not sure mine will be up to scratch. I freely admit I can't draw.

Maybe more?

I'm barely a third of the way through my fantasy opus, but I've got another story idea starting to coalesce. It's hard sci-fi, more like Zero Magenta, but it's further into the future and includes space travel.

Anyway, I need to finish this one first.  There's quite a bit of action at present and some secrets are slowly being revealed.

That's all for now,

Cheers.
