Take that, Zelda!

If you are really worried about somebody stealing your ideas or stories, then do not share your work anywhere. Wattpad is for people that have a real desire to share their stories, and share them for free, because we enjoy stories. If you are very successful in Wattpad it could help you to...

Hello Creed! I am a proud Wattpadian, or Wattpadder as sometimes we are called. I have not completed my first year at Wattpad yet, but so far I am very happy with how the site works and what the community is like over there. You can find me in Wattpad as Sheilawisz. At first, it's slow and...

Hello everyone! I have been thinking about something like a price for having used Magic under certain conditions, which is an unusual situation for me because in all of my stories Magic has no price or cost at all for the Magical characters. This is for my Alice into Darkness story, and the...

Throughout history, there have been various cultures that engaged into terrifying and pretty evil things. The Assyrians are the first that come to my mind, but there have been many others. It can be argued that they would be evil from our modern point of view but not from theirs, and yet those...

They sound terrifying! I am curious to know how large a Fortia is. So far I imagine them as huge size since you said that their cities are giant, but maybe you mean that the cities are very vast but with buildings of normal size. What is the temperature in that lava realm where they live? How...

While the etymologies behind those words are very interesting indeed, it's always funnier to establish yourself what the differences between them are in your own Fantasy world. I personally like how you have defined them already, with the Warlocks being a more potent combination of Wizard and...

Hello everyone! I agree with the others on the fact that a twenty years long war (with truces) fought with 1450's weapons would not have a catastrophic consequence, even for the side that loses it. The wars back then were not as destructive as later, but still there would be some level of...

Third picture! All of the All Terrain Choppers come with their package included. It's a very nice sheath to carry it around, strong and good quality materials. The only problem is that you cannot just draw it out like a sword from its scabbard, because this thing holds the ATC in place by...

Hooray and double hoorays! After a very long wait that was necessary thanks to the complicated process of importations, my very lovely and extremely intimidating All Terrain Chopper from Cold Steel has arrived at its new home at last. I received it yesterday, and just as promised now I am going...

Hello everyone! Netardapope: In this case, the best that you can do is to just allow your story to flow and evolve by itself. Designing a world and a Magic system is great fun, but our real job is to be storytellers, which means to get a story told. The setting is an important part too, that's...

To Darkness and other people interested in this: Apart from defrutum and honey, there would be two other options to follow in case that you want your characters to sweeten their wines in a realistic medieval style world. The first is cane sugar, exactly the same that we get in the supermarket...

I am sure that somebody in Medieval Europe or before had the idea to pour some honey into their wine and mix it, and yes it must have been done sometimes but it was not a common practice. The usual procedure was to dilute the wine with water, and also to spice it, because they used loads of...

From the point of view of a total outsider, it's very strange to realize that in the U.S. (and other countries) drinking anything with alcohol is considered a rite of passage, a privilege or some other form of an adult-only experience. In Spain and other wine-centric countries, wine is...

Hello everyone! I am a very enthusiastic wine lover, and when I discovered this thread earlier today I wanted to post here immediately but I did not have time until now. What a great subject of discussion wine always is, it's fascinating to me and so here I go! In High Medieval times (like the...
