I love world-building!

I've been dipping my toe back into world-building after a long time in fanfiction. I was inspired by Narnia's world-building and wanted to do a flat world with magic but I'm having trouble figuring out the physics of the world. Like, I know I'll have to handwave some stuff because there's not going to be gravity on a flat world but there will be gravity because I say so but I still want to figure out the weather and the astronomy, etc.

(And googling flat-earth physics gets you nut-jobs who still believe the earth is flat right now.)

I sometimes consider basing fantasy cultures off of real cultures because it's a good way to see what you're missing or should consider. But, at the same time, I'm wary of all the real-world implications of it. On the one hand, there's no way to create something that's never been before but the other hand, if you're too close to something, then it invites parallels that I might not want and strangle my writing choices.

Ooh, I created a world with a friend back in middle school that was flat. There were people on both sides of it who didn't know about the other side. We didn't really think about the physics or anything though. I wish you luck in thinking this through better than we did.

I get wary of the implications that people might take from similarities with the real world too. It's been kind of frustrating me lately that it's so hard to avoid. Our brains are built to make associations, so even if you don't mean to base part of the world on something from the real world, people will connect it to something familiar and it will influence how they perceive everything. I'm getting close to the point where I just say "screw it, I'll do what I want" but I'm not quite there yet.
