Re: Worldbuilding

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck it, worldbuilding doesn't matter. Write it as necessary for the story and work out any internal inconsistencies later.

Re: Worldbuilding

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, yeah, I guess I could take that approach (it is really appealing b/c I'm lazy and I hate those detailed maps every fantasy book seems to have), but it helps if I have at least a basic idea of how the setting works before I start.

Re: Worldbuilding

[(Anonymous)]

Well, going off what you've said in other comments, if it is about the economic and social implications of a new invention, it probably does require a good bit of economics working out for those purposes. So this is a case where some of it does matter. An edge case as it were.

Re: Worldbuilding

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, i mean, it does directly affect the characters, so I need to have SOME idea of what the hell I'm talking about.

Re: Worldbuilding

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - I wouldn't say it doesn't matter, but it's not something that HAS to be worked out to the last detail before you begin writing. You can build as you go and then go back and fill in details or tweak the structure during the revision process.

Re: Worldbuilding

[cushlamochree]

I don't know, I think it only matters inasmuch as it actually effects the novel. I don't really care much for consistency or detail unless it actually matters.

Re: Worldbuilding

[(Anonymous)]

I'm having trouble imagining how consistency and detail wouldn't matter, but that's me. At the very least, stories with flimsy world building and lack of consistency is painful to read.
