Misfire?

Even a rough sketch is nice, it doesn't need to be LotR level cartography. I liked the ones in old Juliet McKenna books, before she shifted to urban fantasy novels. They were great.

Same. Geography influences so much about a setting, I find myself world-blind without one and it makes it much harder to get invested. Especially if it's a travelogue!

[ariakas]

Yep, thanks.

[kaijinscendre]

Lol. Seeing this while I watch the LegalEagle video on the incident. https://youtu.be/87SJb4oD5iA?si=8K0R8yiUd_wyfnla

Honestly, I bet a lot of authors just don't want to have to deal with anything that doesn't match canon.

[(Anonymous)]

It isn't a good sign if authors can't keep their own geography straight.

[meadowphoenix]

honestly i agree even for non-fantasy. is there geographic movement? a little direction please.

[meadowphoenix]

i feel like this is dependent on fandom and fic genre. a poetic summary can often tell me what type of fic I'm getting, which is the point i suppose.

I'm losing interest in shows I'm trying to watch

[(Anonymous)]

I hate when that happens. I just gotta stick to completed limited series.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes! Get a new writer, okay, but stop renumbering the titles every six issues. Or at least change the title slightly so it's easy to know which is which.

[(Anonymous)]

Diana Wynne Jones made fun of the "there must be a map in every fantasy novel" trope in her "Tough Guide to Fantasyland". It's really funny. But I agree with you, OP. The only time I enjoyed a fantasy novel without a map is Stephen Donaldson's "Mordant's Need", which referenced a map but didn't provide one. What it did provide was sufficiently detailed information about the world that you could draw your own, which is what I did, and had fun doing it.
