Halp. Please. T.T

I would like to create a new universe for my next story, but I have such a hard time deciding on all of the details. I have managed to pick out what the world looks like (thanks to minecraft), where the borders are, and the main plotline, but I really need help with the freaking races. I was going to have at least 6 races, one to match each of the separate countries, but I only have vague inklings of anything. Their names will also have to be decided on later, but to do the names I'd like to know the races first. What they are completely decides how I do the rest of the story, as well, from the architecture in the separate areas, to the personalities, to the weapons they use to fight with. If anybody could help me with this, it'd be totally appreciated.

Just know once you've been sucked into it, I'll be bouncing ideas off of you for the next ten years. /procrastinator/

What kind of races are you looking for? Typical fantasy races, like elves and dwarves and stuff? Original fantasy races? Some kind of aliens?

I'll help, I've made up several races before I'm sure I can help, besides I love to help people with their stories.

To all of the above^

Wow, that was fast. XD I'm looking for a mix of both original and classic fantasy races. They should all be entirely unique, with very few similarities. I have a few inklings as to what they might be like, so here's the gist:

Race 1: Live in Cranstro, a dark forest. Very tall, agile, thin, and generically elf-like. Preferably tree-ish colors?
--- I figure this one would work as an elf-type thing.
Race 2: Live in Fiivala, a mostly mountainous/aspen forest. Most human like, but has very subtle changes (snake-iris?). Average height, muscular, and fair.
--- I just went off of humans.
Race 3: Live in Meergof, a desert with sparse oasis(es). Lizard-like upwalkers, with tails, spines, and occasionally claws. Bright colors - possibly poisonous?
--- /was playing too much Skyrim/ Went with Argonian
Race 4: Live in Cumaspiik, a mix of plains+plateaus. Short, proud, dwarven creatures. Have dark eyes + red? toned hair.
--- I thought about different dwarves, since this is the most technology advanced species
Race 5: Live in Kharrbonia, a desert plain/savannah. Furry, based off of (cats? Foxes? ferrets?). Very thin, sly, + long faces.
--- Again, Skyrim, maybe a Khajiit/Fox mix?
Race 6: Live in Dapnier, a mash of islands, swamps, and mountains. Dark-skinned...about all I have. Magically-adept, maybe wings?
--- No idea on this one; supposed to be secretive + the most peaceful. Something demon-like, though.

That's all I have. It's something, but not enough to go off of. I'd like to definitely improve races 4-6. Thank you for the help!

This is a piece of description i just wrote. Any opinions/criticism are appreciated.

I'll read it soon c:

^ I've posted an opinion on inspiration's thread.

So, I've finally gotten some idea as to where I want Dragon Flightless to go! For starters, what would Amelia be doing anywhere near a remote dragon settlement?

sPYING!!!

@Moonblaze - I have nothing to offer (sorry) except you've interested me... when/if you start writing/posting would you be able to flick me a link?

[Nitro Indigo]

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A SPY.

Also, I've temporarily lost interest in Dragon Flightless. I guess I just felt limited by the fact that I first came up with a character, and tried to make a story around him. I'm better at writing stories by coming up with a plot twist.
Because of this, Dragon Flightless is being metaphorically shelved, while I work on a story that you could call the reincarnation of Searching for the Aurora Australis and A Spirit That Shines Forever Bright (that Zelda fanfic idea I had a while ago).

The members list is officially updated! Yes- it's been over a year, but some things happened in my life in 2016 that I'd rather not talk about, so let's just look past that.

If you don't see your username on there, please read through this section of questions and answers, and see how we can fix that!

I joined, but I don't see my username up there?
There's a few answers to this -
- I simply missed your form by accident
- Something was messed up with the coding of your form so I skipped it (directions on coding are clearly listed)
- Your username had been changed, so I didn't want to put the wrong name on the list.
If you don't see your username, please PM ME your form again!

I had my name up there, and now it's gone?
First, double check XD
Then, if you really don't see it, just know that it's probably a mistake on my part. I haven't gotten rid of any names in a long time, so if you had a name up there before this last update, I probably accidentally deleted it. Just PM ME your form again to let me know!

I changed my username and my old one is still on the list?
In most cases, I went past the user changes because I was concentrated on something else, and most of you had changed your user name multiple times. If your username has been changed but isn't written up there, please PM ME your new user and nicknames.

I requested to add a new story, but it isn't added to the list yet?
Again, I skipped over these so I could concentrate on what I was doing with the list. As well as the fact that many of the stories were posted months ago, and I didn't know if they were still active or not. Please PM ME your new stories, so I can add them to the list.

Finally posted a topic for my blog on the Websites forum! Clicky

Not working on any fiction right now, but I am starting new series on Princess Tutu for the blog ^.^

On the fiction front, though, I have completed all of TWO SHORT STORIES 8D I think they're set in the same universe, although I am much happier with my second one.

i haven't posted in such a long time but here goes..
don't know if any of you remember me, if you do it's probably from the chatzys we have had in the past for inklings, which mel is going to be putting another one out pretty soon i believe. cx also it's about time she got to updating the members list

i haven't really had any muse to write recently.. and when i do i never know how to start the chapter off or whatever. i've had major writer's block for a while and i have no idea how to cure it. any tips? xD
at least nothing has gone on chicken smoothie for a while. i'll fix that soon though. i'm bad at writing but i enjoy it so.. it's okay.

i have a few things in mind for new stories (one i have previously had and peeked back in this thread to see my idea about it, might try that up again) but i really have no idea how to start it or what i plan on doing with it.

but anyway.. heyo! i'll try to be posting more hopefully or when a new chatzy comes out i'll be there twenty-four/seven probably.
