World Building For Fantasy Fiction Writers - Your World: God & Satan vs Fantasy- Who Are The Gods of Your World?
Drawing On Your Own Religious Upbringing To Build Your World...

So, the topic of the day, is creating a religion, or multiple religions, for your fantasy world.

If one is going to build fictional gods and religions for one's fictional world, one should first have an understand of how real world religions work, yes? I think so at least.

Now, I'm not saying you need to understand the history of world religions and know all the answers of the hows and whys of each religion's philosophy. No. What I'm saying is, to look inside yourself and draw on your own personal experiances with religion.

How were you raised, religion-wise? Were your parents religious? Christian? Catholic? Jewish? Muslim? Pagan? Wiccan? Atheist? There are 15,000 religions in the world. Chances are at least one of them impacted your views on how you see the world, wither you know it or not.

You don't have to build your world religions to be mirrors of real world religions. Of course, you can if you want to.

You could have a world devoid of religions.

It's your world. You can write it however you want.

I do feel that no matter what you write, religious or not, it still always is effected by the religions you have personally crossed paths with. Even if not your own religion. Just the religion of one of your friends, could somehow influence your daily activities, and in turn, affect how you write you novels.

Well, in my own novels, you always see religion, particularly drug dealing, weapon carrying, bloodthirsty, excessively violent, fundamentalist cultists.

Religion is ALWAYS bad or evil in my novels, and readers have noticed this and asked about it.

I suppose, someone who is unfamiliar with the Gypsy Clan that raised me, would struggle to understand why religions and gods and priests and prophets are written in such a bad light in my novels. But, when you look at the people I grew up with, what they did, what they believed, and how they practiced their religion, you suddenly get an eye opening: "OMG! No wonder you write religious characters as the bad guys!"

I suppose, for the sake of your understanding my own views on religion and how those views affect my world building process, it would be best to tell you my own religious background.

I was born a 5th generation Mormon, in a Fundamentalist Mormon family which has more than 400 people in the family. My grandfather had 2 wives. His first wife, was my grandmother and she had 15 pregnancies, 12 live births, and 11 children to live to adulthood.

My mother had two husbands and I am the oldest of 4 children she had by my father. Her oldest sister is the one in the family with the most spouses, she having 8 husbands. Her youngest brother is the man in the family with the most wives, him having 5 wives. 

Of these original twelve children, all the wives, each have no fewer than 4 children, most have 8 children, and the one wife with the most children has 23 pregnancies and 15 children to reach adulthood.

The men who lead the clan were very violent drug-dealing, gun hoards, claim that God is an alien, that he lives on Planet Kolob, and will soon ride in to deal our the Third World War (Aarmagedon) from a mothership, that will be mistaken by scientists as a comet which will be named Wormwood.

With the exception of my grandfather's first wife, my Grammy Eva, all 400 of them are LDS/Mormon by religion. She was born to a prostitute in the 1920s and was sent to be raised by the Shakers. As a teenager she ran away from the Shakers after being sexually abused by the man who raised her. She converted to Seventh-Day Adventism, and remains with that religion for almost 60 years, leaving it for Huna (a Hawaiian religion) shortly before her death. The last 30 years of her life, she took to Voodoo, witchcraft, and dealing out curses and evil eyes to any one and everyone who pissed her off.

My father was born a Methodist, was forced by my mother's father to convert to Mormonism before being allowed to marry my mother, then after their divorce 30 years later became an Atheist.

My father's mother (my Grammy Helen) was a Methodist most of her life, but also attended The Salvation Army, but being Scottish was also a heavy believer in The Faerie Faith, Hoodoo, and Witchcraft. 

After 2 decades of physical, sexual, mental, and emotional abuse at the hands of our uncles, me and all 3 of my brothers escaped the clan. Two of my brothers are now no religion at all, and have no desire to look into any religion, while the 3rd is now Atheist.

To make the mix even more messed up, I was homeschooled via Dr Lindstrom's infamous psycho-radical Christian Liberty Academy (in the 1970s when it was still the violent, window smashing, church burning, government protesting heydays; long before it changed into an actual legitimate school people know it as today.) Highly controversial, White-Power Radical Calvinists who branded themselves "Patriots" and believed textbooks were not required when you could preach the Bible while drive by shooting your local governors, instead.

Dr. Lindstrom, spent most of his time correcting his students' school papers from his prison cell, as he rarely was outside of prison. After his death, the school shunned it's once radical practices for teaching without textbooks and did away with gathering up armies of 5 year olds to use as shields while shooting government workers, and became an actual Christian school - this however, happened in the late 1990s, many years after I had already graduated, from the insanity that was Christian Liberty Academy in the 1970s.

In the late 1980s, my mother went Super Christian, took an axe to her TV, and my TV, and my dad's TV, and every radio she could find, my 1974 AMC Gremlin, my 1976 AMC Gremlin, and my 1974 AMC Hornet... she claimed TV evangelists Jimmy Swaggart, Kenneth Copeland, and Benny Hinn told her to. We then attended the LDS church on Sunday mornings, a Pentecostal church at noon, and a different Pentecostal church in the evening; yet another Pentecostal church on Mondays, and a different Pentecostal church on Wednesdays. Soon she added the Kennebunk Baptists Church and the Saco Baptists Church to the mix, quickly followed by the Christian Scientists and the Jehovah's Witnesses. By 1994, we were attending 15 church congregations each week, 7 days a week, attending church services as many as 5 times a day, as long as 3 hours each service (yes 15 hours a day, not including travel to and from churches, with one church being in Monmouth, Maine a 2 hour drive from us).

In 2003, I simply stopped attending church, because 110+ hours of church a week, left no time for anything else, including sleep, and going to church was not my idea to begin with. She immediately took to the internet calling me the child of Satan, and her 10 brothers and sisters joined her, also with my 68 first cousins, my 200+ 2nd cousins, and my 90+ 3rd cousins.

I don't believe in worshiping a white-power, gay hating, wife beating, child abusing, animal sacrificing, wrath filled, cruel and heartless god whose claim to fame was murdering his own son on a cross and then demanding his followers cannibalistically eat his son's flesh and drink his son's blood every Sunday.

Those 400+ people you see, daily having religion crazed meltdowns on my FaceBook wall since 2007?

You know, the ones who are daily posting photos of themselves holding their machine guns why saying under the photo: "here's the gun I'm gonna shot you with, you demon possessed traitorous child of satan".

The ones who post memes saying "Death of All Jews" "Death to all Niggas" "Death to the Gayz" and "Death to.... whatever else they can think of.

Those are my mother, her siblings, their children, their grandchildren, and great-grandchildren aka my aunts and uncles and cousins and second cousins and third cousins. All 400 of them. Along with their friends from the Saco Ward Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I became a Voodoo Priestess in 2003 and was additionally ordained a minister of the United Life Church in 2010.

Why? Why did I become a Voodoo Priestess?

Because I realized I don't believe in worshiping a white-power, gay hating, wife beating, child abusing, animal sacrificing, wrath filled, cruel and heartless god whose claim to fame was murdering his own son on a cross and then demanding his followers cannibalistically eat his son's flesh and drink his son's blood every Sunday.

Voodoo is an animistic religion that reverances the memory of the ancestors, hold dear the respect of nature, and shuns all levels of violence, war, guns, and cruelty.

The Christine peace and love of Jesus that Christians preach.... Voodoo ACTUALLY practices it. Voodoo accepts all regardless of colour, race, gender, gender identity, sexuality, sexual preferences, or ethnicity. Voodoo embraces all people as brothers and sisters and therefor to wage war is a grave sin, to own guns is a grave sin, to shed blood is a grave sin, to hurt someone because they are the wrong colour or are in love with someone of the wrong gender is a sin.

Christians preach love and practice hate. Voodoo actually practices what they preach.

I have personally meet more then 7,500 Christians here in Southern, Maine.

I have personally never meet, encountered, or interacted with a Christian who wasn't a hysterical hate monger with zero capacity to love or show kindness or compassion towards others. Perhaps Christians who are kind and loving and don't run around with guns chanting they want to kill all the gays and non-whites, do exist out there somewhere, but they sure as hell are not anywhere to be found here in York County, Maine.

Well, obviously, this effects how I write my characters and how I build the world they live in, now doesn't it?

If you've ever read my "Faith Not Religion" series and wondered what inspired me to write a series of articles on why it's better to have faith in one god then to be a save to religion... well, now you know.

By the time I was 18 years old I had read the Bible, cover to cover, like a novel, 31 times. Not by choice. If I wanted to eat, I had to read the Bible AND recite it from memory. The longest I went between meals was 12 days. I kept mis-reciting the same set of verses. I think the hunger made it worse, as it got harder for me to memorize verses, the more days in a row I was not allowed to eat.

Hunger wasn't enough motivation, but my Uncle David soon discovered that cutting my cats' heads off with a shovel was. Over the years my mother gave me a grand total of 84 kittens. They never lived long as I had trouble memorizing Bible verses.

My David, if you don't know, he founded a group that calls themselves "The Loyalist White Knights of The Ku Klux Klan" They are not actual KKK and not affiliated with the real, KKK, instead they are a machine gun hoarding fringe group who claims too to be sovereign citizens.

When people ask me why I know so much about KKK, well, I grew up in there group, and some 300+ members of my family are active KKK members.

I hate the family I was born into. I wish, I had never known them.

Well, all of that said, if you've ever read my novels, you start to realize, why religions in my novels are, quite radical, very much zealots, hold to fanatical belief systems, and are ALWAYS the villains.

Never in any of my novels, do you ever see a priest or god who is portrayed as good.

Today I am a Voodoo Priestess rank of Medsen Fey Marija Loa to Damballah Weddo, a religion that focuses on love and peace and non-violence. I now shun Christians with their white power, their gay hatred, their spousal abuse, their child abuse, their pet murders, their wars, their bloodshed, and their brutality. And you see this heavily reflected in my novels, where my main characters are priests to pagan gods and goddesses, and my villains hail the bloody battle cries of a hate mongering one god.

A Look At How This Affected The World's In My Novels...

Worshiping God/fearing Satan

My aliens (The High Elves aka Space Elves in the Quaraun series, not real world aliens) come from a galaxy that has no "gods", they have no concept of worshiping gods or fearing demons, they practice no sacrifices, they preach no scripture, they quote no prayers, they do not sit around waiting for a god to protect them.

My Faeries (who come from a alternate dimension) likewise follow no gods or demons nor have a concept for doing so.

...until they come to earth and encounter Humans.

Once they have become influenced by the corruption that is Humanity, the other species begin to divide up by races and begin to follow after the Human example of hate everything not a carbon copy of yourself, and like Christian Humans the Elves and Faeries start worshiping fictional gods created in their own images, then going to war over whose god is the one god.

For example, a group of Fae begin to identify as Demons because the Humans called them Demons.

Then because of Human mythology, this group of "Demons" begins to worship an Elder God, simply because they feel it is what they are supposed to do, because so many Humans say that is what Demons do.

The most notable religion of the Quaraun series is The Cult of The Sacred Pink Jellyfish, which is a group of squid headed aliens (Thullids) whom the Humans refer to as "Chaos Demons", that one day found in their oceans a strange pink jellyfish, the size of an apple, with long purple ruffly tentacles. They marveled over this rare creature, captured her, put here in a glass bowl, and started worshiping her when they realized she had the ability to communicate with them telepathically.

Assumed to be the last of her kind, or perhaps just a bright coloured mutation of a common jellyfish, her uniqueness and her telepathic abilities results in they began calling her an Elder Brain, eventually calling her the creator of the universe, because she went on to live for several thousand years, in her bowl of water without any food to eat or room to swim, and seemingly was immortal, resulting in them calling her The Elder God.

Eventually the cult broke off into two sects, one who thought her a god to be worshipped and the other thinking her an evil thing that caused all the suffering of the land.

A war broke out, and as her priests fell before the hate mongers, one priests, whose job it had been, to stand by her side for decades, took the jellyfish and to save her life from the attacking army, did the unthinkable and implanted her into the brain of a young Elf.

That Elf, was the main character Quaraun, who lives his life, going back and forth between calling himself a male Elf and calling himself a female Demon, while living on the run from cultists who want to worship him as their god and zealots who want to slaughter him for bringing evil to the world.

The religion that protects and worships the JellyFish are peaceful, and based heavily off real world Voodoo. While the zealot fundamentalist, driven by insane blood lusts and hate, are based largely off real world Christianity and it's terrorist activities against gays and non-whites.

Like real world Voodoo priestesses, the worshipers of the Sacred Pink Jellyfish practice colour magic and wear the sacred colours of their goddess (in this case pink). And like real world terrorists known as Christians, the zealots in the books wear white robes, white hood, and march from village to village burning houses and slaughtering everyone who is not a carbon copy of themselves.

And so you see, how my own personal experiences with real world religions has heavily influenced the religions in the world my books exist in.

Let's Do a Writing Prompt Writing Exercise To Help You Decide Who and What God, Satan, and Religion Are In World Inside Your Own Fantasy Novels(s):

Now, because I'm in the habit of answering questions people send me, that results in a lot of questions getting sent to me. Way more than I'll ever be able to answer.

My Faith Not Religion Squidoo series, has resulted in a lot of religion related questions getting sent my way.

Now. I have answered the first two questions, with my real world answers. But, how would those answers be different, if, instead of me answering, I wrote those answers from the point of view of one of the characters in my novels?

What if one character had asked those questions to another character? How would that character answer? Why would the question have been asked?

Think about it.

Now, I'm going to give you a list of questions readers have sent to me over the years. I want you to take these questions and use them, to formulate, who or what is the god of your fictional world? If there are multiple gods, answer the questions for each.

Questions that say things like "Christian", "Atheist", "Jesus", or "Satan", just substitute those word for the words in your novel that best replaces them. Use the names of your world's deity, saviour, evil big bad dude, religions and opposers.

A bit of a warning too, some of these questions are pretty snarky, a few border into bitch zone. People can be right royal bitches when it comes t asking questions about religion. When you read them, you'll see why I had not used them before. However, as these are real questions from real people, about real religions, I felt that this article would be a good place to, not answer them, but rather let you use them as sounding boards to bounce ideas off of for creating religions, gods, and evil entities of your world.

After each question, I will show you how it is that question applies to the primary religion of the Quaraun novels, the religion, which main character Quaraun belongs to and is a very devout wizard priest of: The Cult of the Sacred Pink JellyFish.

I'm putting this answer here, as knowing real world history does wonders to help in writing your fictional world and this is on topic to writing about Gods and the religions who create them:

What did Lucifer the angel do that God cast him out of heaven to hell?

Lucifer is not in the Bible. He's a character from the novel Paradise Lost, based off a character from Hebrew Kabbalistic mythology. 

Lucifer is also not an alternate name for Satan. Note as well that the word Satan was invented in around 1612, and does not exist in any Bible prior to the King James Edition. 

According to the oldest known (pre-Biblical) scrolls, Lucifer was a prince who thought himself the most beautiful person ever born, as a result of which he refused to help to widows and orphaned because they were too ugly, so the Sun came down and turned him into a star, forever cursed to act as a guide to the people he refused to help in life. That star today is now known to not be a star at all, but rather is the planet Venus. 

Satanus (also known as Saturn) is a Greek God, a doctor/war lord who had nothing to do with Hebrew folklore at all, who rivaled Zeus and his name was shortened to Satan, by Catholic Popes, who added him to the Bible in the 1600s in their attempts to convert the Celts of the British Isles. 

Satan was intended to scare the common folk out of going to doctors, herbalists, and healers, and was used as a way to promote the verses in the Bible which stated: "thou shalt not suffer a physician to live" and "thou shalt burn all the hospitals". In the 1600s it was believed that God made sickness as a way to expose sinners and that healing a sick person was to go against the will of God. Thus why Satan became the "evil one" due to Saturn being the God who healed soldiers during war time. 

Source: I'm a minister, who gets fed up with people attributing things to the Bible that are not in it at all. Christians would do well to just READ their Bibles for a change instead of misquoting what they THINK is in it, just because someone who never read the Bible told them it was from the Bible. 

I also own an antique Bible that was printed in the 1530s and has been passed down in my family for centuries and have been able to compare the changes that were made when the King James version was written in 1612.

Now, in the Quaraun novels, there is no "Evil Big Bad" working in opposition of the goddess they worship. There religion does not have a concept of Heaven, Hell, or a Satan-like evil one. They also have no holy scriptures that they read from or religious texts.

The Sacred Pink Jellyfish herself does not claim to be god, nor does she ask to be worshiped. Indeed, she feels like a victim and prisoner. She was taken from her ocean, where she once swam free, and put in a tiny round goldfish bowl, to be put on display and ogled at by priests. Not seen as a god at first, she was originally thought to be an omen. No one had ever seen anything like her.

She begged and pleaded to be set free, but rather the see the error of their ways, the priests marvled that the tiny creature was able to communicate with them. Thus they started worshipping her as a god. They began t leave offerings and sacrifices at the floor and on the table, around her bowl. None of which did any good foor her as she just wanted to go home.

 She is kept trapped in the bowl for thousands of years, with generations of the priests making up wild stories about how she had created the world. One tale speaks of her doing battle against an evil purple oyster, defeating him and saving the world, but that is as close as any tale gets to containing a Satan-like opponent to The Sacred Pink Jellyfish.

Thousands of years of hundreds of generations of priests have let their imaginations run wild, thinking up completely untrue god tales and creation stories, about a pink jellyfish, who is nothing more than a strange sea creature a fisherman caught in his nets so long ago. But she lives on in her bowl, seemingly immortal and with no one ever feeding her, and she can communicate to them, that they assume she is god.

And so while the primary religion of the Quaraun series does not have a battle in heaven or a god casting out evil angels, it still has a history of stories written by it's priests and prophets.

How have you dwelt with this in your novels? Do your characters have stories they tell about ancient gods?

Which is the best?

1) God created the universe.

2) The universe popped into existence.

3) The universe has always existed.?

None of those options seem good or logical to me. I'm not sure what would be a logical option either. It's one of those things where, no matter what version someone tells me they believe, I'm always looking at it and wondering "But if it was so, then how could this other thing be true?" 

I want to believe in an origin of the universe, but after hearing several dozen different versions from a wide range of religions and cultures (including one that says the universe is nothing but a giant zuni bear's vomit) I've yet to find an explanation of the universe's origin that actually makes sense to me. 

It seems like there had to have a beginning, so it couldn't have just always been there, right? 

And so being created makes sense at first, until I ask, but who created the creator? 

A big bang makes sense until I ask, but what caused the bang? 

Space seeds from aliens makes sense, until I ask, but who created the aliens that spread the seeds? 

Even the zuni bear one makes sense until you ask: but where'd the bear come from? 

I just have yet to find any origin myth that I believe. Every one of them no matter who well thought out, always has one of those "Hey, wait, what about this..." questions.

Let's move on from what I believe in real life, to what my characters believe in my novels... specifically, main character Quaraun's religion, The Cult of The Sacred Pink Jellyfish.

The Sacred Pink Jellyfish is not only a female, but a medusa.

If you are unfamiliar with jellyfish biology, a medusa is a female who can reproduce. Along the edges of her tentacles grow glumps of polyps that look like grape clusters. Each of these eventually grows like a tumor, then bursts open, sending out a new baby jellyfish into the world. After all the polyps have hatched, the medusa changes gender and becomes male for a while. The jellyfish's body now produces sperm, which coats it's tentacles, after which point it again changes gender and becomes female again. Now it's sperm coated tentacles begin to once again grow polyps, which absorb the sperm and grow into baby jellyfish that will hatch from the polyps.

This asexual, multi-gender, self-fertilization is common with our real world jellies, slimes, snails, sea slugs, corals, sea anemones, and portuguese man-o-war. In most sea creatures though, once the cycle is complete, the creature dies.

However in Japan, there is a fish tank, that was built over a thousand years ago, and in it, is a real world jellyfish (which is where I got the idea from) that has belongs to generations of emperors and now currently sits in a scient history museum, as a ecological marvel. Known as The Immortal Jellyfish of Japan, this strange fish, instead of dying, changes gender and starts life anew.

You can find out more about this real world fish here:

Do I have a soul, and is that soul eternal? If it is, then who puts the arbitrary lifetime-limit for when I need to make up my mind ...?

... about gods and saviors? 

Why can't I reach that conclusion a nano-second AFTER I die? 

Or an Hour? Or a Day? Or 500 Years?

This brings up an interesting question for your world. Well, I think all of these bring up interesting points, which is why've I've chosen these questions over others.

But this question challenges you as a writer, to think about souls and how they are interpreted in your world's cultures and religions.

Do your characters have souls?

I've seen some stories, where having a soul, is what makes Humans, Human, and thus non-Humans such as Elves, Orcs, Dwarves, Mermaids, and Gnomes, do not have souls. Books which portray non-Humans as soulless, often also have Humans acting superior to the others, by virtue of having souls. Perhaps the most famous story to show non-Humans as soulless, is The Little Mermaid, which states that Mermaids turn to seafoam when they die, but the Little Mermaid did not, because in order to grow Human legs, the sea witch had to give her a soul and thus make her Human.

Typical in Vampire stories is the fact that all living creatures have souls, but the act of losing one's soul, turns a person into a Vampire, and only through restoring their soul, can they become Human again. This is especially noted as being used in the Buffy and Angel series.

In both instances, lack of a soul, can be used in religions. Ministers who preach Heaven as being only for Humans, because only men with souls are allowed to enter Heaven, while Faeries and Elves are cast into Hell for lacking souls.

In the Quaraun series, souls are very important to the plot. In the Quaraun series, all living things have a soul, for it is the soul that causes life. A body can not survive without a soul, and thus a person dies as a result of their soul, leaving their body.

Different species have different types of souls, however, and Elves, have very strong souls, which cause them, not only to live longer, but also gives them the ability to communicate with each other (other Elves) via a soul-bound hive mind. It's not so much telepathy, as it is, being able to feel each others souls. They can not send thoughts to each other, but they can send emotional signals to each other, thus if one Elf feels joy, all the Elves around him, feel joy with him. If one Elf is sad, all the Elves nearby, grieve with him. This soul connection, known as The Elven Communion, is why Elves show no outer emotions, for they have no need to smile, laugh, or cry, in order to communicate to each other how they feel.

There also exists a thing, known as an OutCast Elf. Because of this deep soul connection to one another, they also feel each other's pain. If an Elf is stabbed, they each suffer the agony with him. If an Elf dies, the whole tribe, feels this soul ripped from their tribal unit. And to kill another Elf is a horrifying thing, for all the Eves, for they feel both the anger and sorrow of the murderer and the agony and suffering of the victim. Once an Elf murders another Elf, the entire tribe, mentally shuts down their souls, separating themselves from the murderer, evicting him from the hive mind, casting him out to live alone in his head, like a Human. He become an OutCast Elf, no longer able to feel the communion with the other Elves. There is no great torture for an Elf then to be cast out of the hive mind. Most OutCast Elves go insane and many commit suicide, unable to bear living alone inside their bodies.

And while none of this is seen by the Elves themselves as being religious, the Humans of the series, see it as being part of an Elven Cult ritual, with many Christian ministers citing the Elves as evil and practicing dark magic.

And so here you have, how it is I have used the concept of souls in my own world... how have you used souls in your novel?

Christians, why do you believe in a god that can't be demonstrated and savior not supported by historical records?

'Creation' might be evidence for a creator (or not), but is not evidence for any particular god other than the impersonal creator god of deism.

This question is an important one for building you world's religions. You must remember that every belief system has things it can not prove. If you people believe in an invisible god, you must come up with reasons why they would choose to do so. How do they defend their belief when it is challenged like this?

Going back to the Quaraun series we see this sort of challenge happening often. Quaraun, wears outlandish pink dresses, decked out in glitter and ruffles, as does every one who is a priest or priestess of The Sacred Pink JellyFish, for he is, after all, a wizard priest and a worshiper of The Sacred Pink Jellyfish.

But, he himself became the vessel in which she now dwells, and she was implanted in his body in the year 947, when he was 9 years old. The novels start in the mid 1400s and spans to the year 2525, most of it taking place between 1450 and 1730.

While the Sacred Pink Jellyfish was once easy to worship as she could be seen in her bowl of water, it's been 400 years since anyone last saw her, and the religion itself is fast dying. She has become a god that can't be demonstrated and savior not supported by historical records, resulting in, like Christianity, most of the world's population laughs at them and their idiotic belief in things they can not see.

While most worshipers of The Sacred Pink Jellyfish are seen as ridiculous, gullible, and brainwashed, Quaraun is seen as outright insane. Quaraun is often bullied and teased and beaten up, for he not only worships the invisible, unseen goodness, he also claims that she is living in his head, had eaten his brain and is in control of his body now. No one but the most devout worshipers believe him. Though he is telling the truth, he has no way to prove what has happened to him.

And so, just like Christianity, once seen as a viable religion, a religion that was practiced in ancient times, thousands of years ago, The Religion of the Sacred Pink Jellyfish is now seen as nothing more then a laughably ridiculous cult of raving lunatics, incapable of thinking for themselves and holding on to ancient beliefs that they can not prove are real. Now seen as a fringe cult of crazed fundamentalists, they are no more called a religion and now known as The Cult of The Sacred Pink JellyFish.

Have you, when creating your world's gods and religions, thought of these things? How do your characters defend themselves when opposition comes forward to challenge their beliefs in a god they can not see or provide proof of? How do they explain their faith?

Here, have some questions:

Below is weird random question people have sent me over the years, because for some reason a lot of people got it into their heads I was a Wiccan witch. I don't know what to do with these questions, so you know what? I'm going to slap them here and say, go ahead and use them to ask yourself questions when creating your world's religions. Maybe these questions will give you some ideas?

Goddesses/Gods in wicca?

What gods/goddesses does wiccans worship? I am interested in this religion, I always have been, but I get confused. The chants and music I hear, always talks about different goddesses (such as isis, hecate, astarte, etc). But from what I heard....arn't there only one goddess/god? So how come all these I hear talk about different ones? That just always confused me, can someone clear this up for me? Thanks!

Is faith in Christ alone enough to enter heaven? Or are good works required?

Is faith in Christ alone enough to enter heaven? Or are good works required?

In at least three places in Romans the Apostle Paul says that we are saved by faith alone without works (Romans 3:20, 28; 5:1). 

But when we turn to James 2:25 we read: A man is justified by works, and not by faith only (James 2:24). 

Which is it?

Why do LaVeyan satanists mock other groups so much while claiming they as LaVey Satanists are the ones who do not fear the dark forces?

Why do LaVeyan satanists mock other groups so much while claiming they as LaVey Satanists are the ones who do not fear the dark forces?

Laveyans are always saying wicca and pagans and other white lighters like to dabble with the black flame but will not dive in and get burned and many other such remarks. Yet all of these groups they laugh at are the ones who do believe in the supernatural and practice with it without fear. 

It is the Laveyan Satanists who admit they are just atheists in Halloween costumes and just using the label satan as its fun and to pretend and that it is just theater. So since they do not even believe in actually spirits or dark powers or anything at all and thus do not practice anything with it then why mock those who do and claim they are the cowards? 

It makes no sense can someone explain please?

Why do atheists rely so heavily on logical fallacies?

Why do atheists rely so heavily on logical fallacies?

it continues to demonstrate how stupid atheism is.

For example, you can observe them saying that former atheists were never atheist to begin with - the no true scotsman fallacy. 

Also you can also observe them referring to God with juvenile terms - the appeal to ridicule fallacy. 

Regularly you can observe them expressing their misunderstanding of scripture (often to mock), even though they admit years of study to show they found it too difficult to understand, so reject it as not true - the personal incredulity fallacy.

Another observation is when they say there is no evidence of God, when there is plenty of testimonial evidence - the cherry picking fallacy. 

A related observation is when they say testimonial evidence is not evidence - the moving the goalposts fallacy. 

Another observation is when they say that religious people are the most evil people in the world - the hasty generalization fallacy.

Im having trouble with my faith but I hope you wont mind listening.I love God n Gods love but I believe its impossible to stop sinning,live goodness for even when we believe in t cuz we keep sinning without us knowing it. My churches teach its only when we believe t and stop sinning can we go to Heaven I tried living perfectly for 10yr.I didnt feel loved nor free. I felt like I was bound by the law rather than Grace that t death meant nothing. If Christ death only meant our old self died so we could live perfect in t than he is no better than a lamb people sacrificed in the OT. I want to live my life enjoying Life in t. I want to enjoy God's Creation and live like a normal person not a monk. I want to share God's Love, teach people that the law is a set of standards to better love others and be better people not a mandatory standard for us to keep in order to go to heaven. Im not saying we should rape,kill, or steal but how could I stop myself from lying or being angry with people who hate me?Jesus said if you break little law u break all of them. Not that Im not trying to be good or saying be good is bad Im saying be perfectly good is impossible for me n will only make me miserable.I want to dogood out oflove. I want to be free in t Love/Peace not trade 1 burden of standards for another .I just want to live/love in Peace in t without any boundaries but do I have to be perfectly good? Do I really have to give up game,music, socce fb ,insta so that I cant be accepted in Heav?

What cemented your religious faith or lack there of?

Pretty straight forward "What cemented your religious faith or lack there of?". If you're a Christian what was the epiphany moment that made you accept Christ with all your heart? If you're an Atheist, what is it that makes you so positive God doesn't exist? Seeing as how I could be spending in everlasting torment, I count this question as one of the most important subject to have a clear cut decision in. I have a very tough time resonating with Christianity due to it's outlook on life, the afterlife and the rigid lifestyle one must live to be in accordance with God's Will.

Does God control us sometimes or do we control ourselves?

Does God control us sometimes or do we control ourselves?

This may sound confusing sorry, but I hear people tell me that God let's us do whatever we want with our lives because we aren't like robots. So if he doesn't control us then why do people pray for other people to change themselves. 

For example: "I'm praying that *insert name* will stop using drugs." 

If they pray for them will God control that person that's using drugs and make them stop?

Intimidation is the name of the game for christianity. Threats and violence are their main recruiting tools. Now they are frustrated, because we no longer fear them, they can't just kill anybody they like any more. Without intimidation they are nothing.

Folks, do you realize that no other religion other than Christianity can solve the sin problem?

Folks, do you realize that no other religion other than Christianity can solve the sin problem?

Here's the problem. Sin separates us from goodness. How could a sinner reconcile himself with God, who is all good? Every other religion says you have to work your way to heaven, but how can work cause an imperfect sinner to be reconciled to a perfectly just, holy God? Where is the justice? You need someone perfect to take the punishment for you,

which is why God himself became a man, suffered and died on a cross, and rose again on the 3rd day for our sins so that whoever believes in him will have their sin imputed onto Christ instead of paying for it themselves. The only way a sinful man can be reconciled to a perfect God is through Christ. Buddha can't save you; Muhammad can't save you; Krishna can't save you; only Christ can save you.

What religion are you?

What religion are you?

I was brought up by a russian-jewish mother and an irish-catholic father. I’ve never been particularly loyal to one specific religion. But I’ve always loved religion/spirituality as a whole. I think it’s beautiful that different cultures have figured out and developed their own beliefs and code to live by. I think there’s a glimmer of truth in every single religion. So if you walk around my house you’ll see elements of a bunch of different religions. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Wicca/Voodoo... I definitely believe in life after death. Despite what stricter sects of religion would like everyone to believe, people are more alike than they are different. Everything is connected. I don’t envision god as being some magic space fairy in the sky. I think God lives in everyone and everything. He/she/they are everywhere.

Spiritually will there be an accounting for those who try to destroy the faith of others for the sake of inflating their egos?

I would never do anything to destroy the faith of others and that is all I am going to say but do not care for those who look as Satanism as a reason to be selfish and hurt others on purpose and for that reason if chose a pagan path it would be Wicca because they are run by ladies who are in charge and recognize the female part of God as being the more compassionate side

If anyone tries to destroy the faith of others along with preaching words of destruction they are third dimensional & not at all spiritual in my opinion & do not deserve to know things that should only be known by God or what others perceive as God. 

Fifth dimensional thinking is what will save this planet & allow it to become more than ever imagined & should not be known by humanity & those who are third dimensional will get what they deserve in time & not be allowed to interfere anymore.

As a young kid i was a catholic just as my parents were. When i got to the age of 13 I became more athiest and stopped believing. I am now 15 almost 16 and i have researched a vast amount of religions. Ive been looking at 1 in particular i wouldnt have thought i would. Itd wiccan. I used to think it was a bunch of voodoo devil worshipping people but throughout this research ive learned its not at all that. It has to do with nature and peace, and it sounds like something i need in my life... Ive never been interested in religion before but im worried that i shouldnt devote myself to something so young even if i like this particular thing. My other problem is practicing wicca. My parents would kill me, they are after all the ones who told me wicca was devil worship. I fear it would be offensive to the religion if i wasnt able to fully do the participations of some things they partake in. I would have to wait until i was an adult. I just have no idea if i should have a say in what i believe at this age.

What was the religious position of the earliest humans ? What does science know?

"Anthropologists Dr. Wilhelm Schmidt, author of the 4000 page treatise, The Origin and Growth of Religion, and, more recently, Don Richardson , author of Eternity in Their Hearts, documented this fact in the hundreds of cultures they studied. They discovered that the religion of some of the most ancient cultures were monotheistic and practiced little or no form of animism or magic. In almost every culture around the world, the religion of a particular culture began with a concept of a masculine, creator God who lives in the heavens. He provided a moral law by which the people would enter into a relationship with him. This relationship was broken when the people were disobedient, and as the relationship deteriorated, the people distanced themselves from the creator and their knowledge of him faded. As the civilization moved further away, they began to worship other lesser gods. In their search to survive in a world filled with spiritual forces, they desired power to manipulate the forces, and thus there was an increase in the use of magic."

I do not understand why some American believers think they are persecuted for their faith. Someone making fun of me for my beliefs is not persecution it's just life, I can still go to church every week and read a Bible in public as long as I do not force others to etc. This isn't a country where Christians have go to underground house churches to worship because of an oppressive government.

Is Islam more similar to Christianity or Judaism?

Is Islam more similar to Christianity or Judaism?

Islam and Christianity seem to have more similarities than differences. 

Both believe in Jesus, One God and the story of Joesph seems to be exactly the same in the Quran and Bible 

Both believe in the virgin mary and heard that christians originally said pig was unclean to eat but the people changed the rules. 

Also popes and priests were originally allowed to marry but since their offspring always took their place the people changed the rules not God or any prophets. 

I think the main difference from my PERSPECTIVE and OPINION is that most muslims seem to follow the rules of their religion while most Christians do not. All three religions require no sex until marriage but trying finding a virgin christian or jew. Its very rare 

I live in America and their some Muslims who dont follow the rules of their religion as well but but its not as common well at least where I live. 

I'm sorry I went off track so do you think Islam is more similar to Christianity or Judaism?

How did the name lucifer, become tied to biblical character Satan, who rebelled against God?

How did the name lucifer, become tied to biblical character Satan, who rebelled against God?

Makes no sense to me. Satan from the Bible is said to be god of darkness and evil. The name lucifer means to bring light. It’s the exact opposite. The Bible only uses the name lucifer once. To describe a morning star. Which I believe is referring to Venus. 

Why would an entity who is god of darkness, be given a name that means light?

I'm a foster parent. I feel like I've been a great foster parent. I've bent over backwards to help the state with children. I decided to adopt and requested a caucasian child which they said was absolutely fine to request. one day I got a call about a caucasian child. I went to the meet the child but the child wasn't caucasian. I very nicely let them know that I had been mismatched but said that if they don't have another home for him I would take him. I was so professional and nice about it.

My supervisor got mad at me over it and accused me of being racist and went so far as to lie and make up a story about me being a racist that was 100% untrue. I'm not a racist, I've cared for so many children of all backgrounds. I can't forgive her for lying and punishing me for nothing. Every time I think about her I get angry. I didn't do anything unkind, nothing. I want to quit and never come back. How do I find forgiveness for this person who has lied?

My analysis, study, is that ADAM AND EVE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD because He modeled them. 

I believe that the other beings that the Bible and other beliefs call the Creature would be the procreation between the beings that God created and rebelled against him, generating life, but a life DIFFERENT from the HUMAN, acquiring diverse forms according to the "mating." 

It was there that God created man to dominate above all other created creatures here on earth.

My Question to ChatGPT:

I am brainstorming some worldbuilding ideas for my next novel and would like you to be my writing assistant and help me out with it. 

My main character Quaraun, is a very devout worshiper of The Moon Goddess. Everything he does in every aspect of his life in impacted and influenced by his faith. Quaraun is an extremely religious person. He carries on him an ancient reliquary amulet (a gold crucifix with a large star ruby in it) that he believes protects him even though it comes from a religion not his own, he wears a string of pink gemstone prayer beads wrapped around his wrist and multiple times a day takes them off to pray, he builds small cairn-like altars in places where moonlight will reflect on them, he nightlight meditates outdoors under the moon, he prays over food/meals/items he buys/items he sells/items he makes/etc, he light vigil candles and votive candles, and does a lot of HooDoo Rootwork practices, all in the name, honour, and glory to The Moon Goddess. 

With that in mind, what worldbuilding lore can you come up with if this scenario occurred:

Quaraun is in a new village that he has never been to before. He is in the outdoor public market square, looking for a place to set up his booth. It is apparent that he is religious as, he prayers over and blesses the ground before setting his tent up. Several people (all not Elves, most of them Human) stop what they are doing as, not only have they never seen anyone do this before, they also, have never seen an Elf before. When he is finished praying, one of them approaches him and says:

"   _______  "

Why did the person say this to Quaraun?

How would Quaraun respond?

What does this person's question tell us about the primary religion and deities of this village?

How does this village's deities and religion differ from Quaraun's Moon Elf, Moon Goddess religion?

What else can you tell me about this village, it's people, it's deities, and it's religious practices, based off the question this person just asked to Quaraun?

Is there anything else you can tell me that will help me with the worldbuilding creation of this village and it's culture?

At the end of your response, please also suggest to me ten writing prompts for random encounters to write my characters having, involving this religion/cults/gods/etc aspect of worldbuilding, so that I can use these prompts to write out some quick backstory lore flash fiction pieces to help me flesh out the religions and deities in my world.

Some additional facts: This is 40th century Earth's far future, while Christianity still exists it s vastly evolved and very different, and now lead by the zombie version of Jesus who actually has come back for a second coming and is one of the Thirteen Lich Lords who rules earth. Jesus is not an invisible mythology in this world, he is an actual literal undead creature roaming the earth.

ChatGPT's Answer:

Why did the person say this to Quaraun?

The person likely perceived Quaraun's religious devotion and hoped for guidance or understanding. Quaraun's actions and visible piety created an aura of approachability, making the individual feel comfortable sharing personal struggles related to religion.

How would Quaraun respond?

Quaraun would likely express empathy, understanding the challenges of navigating differing religious beliefs. He might share his own experiences of facing discrimination due to his devotion to the Moon Goddess. Quaraun may also offer advice on finding common ground or reconciling differences with the person's father.

What does this person's question tell us about the primary religion and deities of this village?

The question reveals a predominantly Christian influence in the village, where practicing or exploring alternative spiritual paths, such as Wicca and witchcraft, is met with resistance. The fact that the person mentions their "Christian dad" suggests a cultural and familial adherence to a particular religious tradition.

How does this village's deities and religion differ from Quaraun's Moon Elf, Moon Goddess religion?

Quaraun's Moon Elf religion revolves around the worship of the Moon Goddess, incorporating rituals, prayers, and mystical practices specific to their faith. The village, on the other hand, follows a more mainstream and possibly authoritarian version of Christianity. The person's fear of rejection from their father implies a less accepting and more dogmatic religious environment.

What else can you tell me about this village, its people, its deities, and its religious practices, based off the question this person just asked Quaraun?

The village appears to be deeply rooted in traditional Christian values, possibly influenced by the Thirteen Lich Lords, including the undead version of Jesus. The fear of persecution for exploring Wicca and witchcraft suggests a lack of acceptance for alternative spiritual practices, reflecting a conservative religious atmosphere.

Is there anything else you can tell me that will help me with the worldbuilding creation of this village and its culture?

The village likely adheres to a strict moral code associated with their Christian beliefs, which may impact societal norms, laws, and interpersonal relationships. The presence of an Elf in this environment would be rare, potentially causing a degree of curiosity or skepticism among the villagers.

Considering the Thirteen Lich Lords' influence, the village might have adapted to a unique blend of Christianity and the supernatural, with the undead Jesus playing a prominent role in their religious practices.

Writing Prompts for Random Encounters:

1. Quaraun discovers an underground sect within the village secretly practicing ancient druidic rituals, blending nature worship with elements of the Moon Goddess religion.

2. A mysterious cult emerges, claiming to follow the teachings of a forgotten deity associated with the moon. Quaraun investigates their beliefs and practices.

3. The village experiences a series of supernatural events believed to be signs from the Thirteen Lich Lords. Quaraun must navigate the tension between his Moon Goddess faith and the villagers' fear.

4. A charismatic preacher gains influence, condemning non-traditional beliefs. Quaraun must decide whether to confront this figure or seek common ground.

5. A hidden library contains forbidden texts on alternative religions. Quaraun explores the texts, discovering ancient prophecies that may reshape the village's beliefs.

6. The village hosts a grand religious festival with elaborate processions and rituals. Quaraun observes the festivities, noting the differences in worship practices.

7. A group of rebellious youths, disillusioned with the strict religious norms, seeks Quaraun's guidance on exploring spirituality beyond the village's confines.

8. A magical artifact tied to the Thirteen Lich Lords is discovered in the village. Quaraun must prevent its misuse while navigating the villagers' reverence for the undead lords.

9. Quaraun encounters a hermit living on the outskirts, practicing a blend of Christianity and nature-based spirituality. The hermit holds the key to a forgotten prophecy.

10. A celestial event aligns with the Moon Goddess's influence, causing the villagers to question their beliefs. Quaraun becomes a central figure in guiding the community through this spiritual awakening.

Quaraun is in a new village that he has never been to before. He is in the outdoor public market square, looking for a place to set up his booth. It is apparent that he is religious as, he prayers over and blesses the ground before setting his tent up. Several people (all not Elves, most of them Human) stop what they are doing as, not only have they never seen anyone do this before, they also, have never seen an Elf before. When he is finished praying, one of them approaches him and says:

How would Quaraun respond?

What does this person's question tell us about the primary religion and deities of this village?

How does this village's deities and religion differ from Quaraun's Moon Elf, Moon Goddess religion?

What else can you tell me about this village, it's people, it's deities, and it's religious practices, based off the question this person just asked to Quaraun?

Is there anything else you can tell me that will help me with the worldbuilding creation of this village and it's culture?

Additional facts: In this world The Easter Bunny is real, he's 6 feet tall and his name is Harvey, and he is friends with Quaraun. Every Easter Quaraun visits the Easter Bunny to help Harvey with his Easter morning deliveries. The Easter Bunny can do things all in one day via portal magic.

Can a Christian be Friends with a Satanist?

(This doesn't apply to me I thinking of making a habit by asking Questions that might one day pop up) 
Look does religion matter that much when being friends with each other I mean friends love hangin out joking, and numerous other activities. So does religion affect 2 obviously compatible friends. To make this less vague lets say The christian friend prays every night but doesn't bring up god in every sentence unless it applies, Same goes for the Satanist because he worships Satan but doesn't really bring him up like that either. Both born into their religions, and both wear their religion's symbol.

Isn't it sad that some Christians believe in evolution?

Evolution is unbiblical, and Genesis isn't a metaphor/allegory, no matter how much they want it to be. Listen to the first commandment and don't put science before God.

The UK might still call themselves Christian, but it's pretty obvious that they are satanic at this point

God made it clear that you should accept the entire bible as fact. Genesis wasn't written poetically, so it was a historical book that actually happened. As a Christian, you must accept everything in the Bible, from Creation to the Trinity

ChatGPT's Answer:

How many high priests could there be at one time?

How many high priests could there be at one time?

So I was reading in the Bible that in the city of refugee that the only way to leave the city is for the high priest to finally pass away and die. But I also read another part of the Bible that explained that there were 6 citys of refuge in total. 
Then my question is does that mean there was a high priest in each city for a total of 6 high priests? I had thought there could only be one high priest but now I'm confused? Can someone please explain this.

My Question to ChatGPT:

I am brainstorming some worldbuilding ideas for my next novel and would like you to be my writing assistant and help me out with it. 

My main character Quaraun, is a very devout worshiper of The Moon Goddess. Everything he does in every aspect of his life in impacted and influenced by his faith. Quaraun is an extremely religious person. He carries on him an ancient reliquary amulet (a gold crucifix with a large star ruby in it) that he believes protects him even though it comes from a religion not his own, he wears a string of pink gemstone prayer beads wrapped around his wrist and multiple times a day takes them off to pray, he builds small cairn-like altars in places where moonlight will reflect on them, he nightlight meditates outdoors under the moon, he prays over food/meals/items he buys/items he sells/items he makes/etc, he light vigil candles and votive candles, and does a lot of HooDoo Rootwork practices, all in the name, honour, and glory to The Moon Goddess. 

With that in mind, what worldbuilding lore can you come up with if this scenario occurred:

Quaraun is in a new village that he has never been to before. He is in the outdoor public market square, looking for a place to set up his booth. It is apparent that he is religious as, he prayers over and blesses the ground before setting his tent up. Several people (all not Elves, most of them Human) stop what they are doing as, not only have they never seen anyone do this before, they also, have never seen an Elf before. When he is finished praying, one of them approaches him and says:

My Response to ChatGPT:


ChatGPT's Answer:

Now, I may go back into this article at a future date and write up answers to these questions, or I may not, but in any case. I hope this helps you to better flesh out the gods and religions of your world building projects.

Update: November 30, 2023

This article was originally published on Squidoo in 2007, the questions in the above list were submitted to that article by MonkeyBrain. Both Squidoo and MonkeyBrain polls were owned by Seth Godin and both went out of business in 2013.

I exported the article off Squidoo to here and it has sat there ever since. It's now 10 years later and I was going though my database looking for pages that had had the longest time since being update, and it turns out it is this page. So, let's update it.

An Update... yep, those happen every so often.
Here is one now.

Once upon a time, I wrote this page. It was a few years ago now. Today is November 30, 2023 and it's its first update in many years. 

Why?

Because, I am one by one, slowly going back through all of my question and answer type pages and asking ChatGPT to ALSO answer said question to see, how vastly different,  or scarily similar, as the case may be, ChatGPT's answer is from mine.

Sooo... let's do that.

Here we go:

If you enjoyed this page, don't forget to share it on social media (share links in the hovering sidebar to the left) or place a link to it on your own blog or website.

Copy this link and paste it into your blog post:

World Building For Fantasy Fiction Writers - Your World: God & Satan vs Fantasy- Who Are The Gods of Your World?

UPDATE October 7, 2023: Since May 2023, I am now using ChatGPT 3.5, to add additional thoughts at the ends of my articles.

The goal here is to provide you with an alternative "opinion" from my original answer.

My answers are my own thoughts and opinions based off of my personal experience. Who the fuck knows where ChatGPT got it's answer.

In any case, I thought it would be fun to see what sorts of answers ChatGPT gives us and find out if AI agrees or disagrees with what a Human had to say on the matter.

And so, I will be giving ChatGPT the same question which I answered and asking it to answer it.

So that you can tell which parts are written by me vs which parts are written by ChatGPT, all of ChatGPT's responses are encased in an orange/yellow/pink rainbow boarder which looks like this:

ChatGPT's answer:


Now, unless stated otherwise, ALL, my writing/character creation/worldbuilding/editing/publishing answers/articles on my website are always referencing The Quaraun series (also known as The Twighlight Manor series, also known as The Adventures of The Pink Necromancer or The Adventures of Quaraun The Insane, and some sections of it are also sometimes referred to as The Wild Years or The Chrystonite Chronicles or Noodle Beach), and how I go about creating the Quaraun characters, the world they live in, write the series, edit the manuscripts, and publish it.

I used to (many years ago) also write a few other series, which were not connected/related to the Quaraun series, but nearly all of those are now out of print, and it's been almost two decades since the last time I wrote a none-Quaraun book. So, I rarely ever refer to any of these old out-of-print series when writing these articles and answering these questions.

And, so, unless stated otherwise, the series I mention in these articles is always Quaraun and crew.

Well, in order to better have ChatGPT better answer these questions on par with the type of answer I would give, I have taught ChatGPT that it is my both my personal assistant and a screaming fanboy of the Quaraun series. Thi, needless to say, influences the responses ChatGPT gives and causes it to yip yap quite a lot about my series and its characters, throughout it's responses.  

Enjoy and happy writing!

ChatGPT's answer:

Dear Aspiring Fantasy Writer,

Embarking on the journey of incorporating elements of a fictional religion into your fantasy writing is a wondrous exploration that can breathe life into your worlds and characters. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate this intricate realm and create a tapestry of beliefs that captivates your readers:

**1. **Establish the Purpose:**
- **Example:** Consider the role of the religion in your world—does it provide comfort, control, or chaos? In my series, "Whispers of Eldoria," the Celestial Order offers solace in a tumultuous world.

**2. **Define Core Tenets:**
- **Example:** Outline the fundamental beliefs. In "Shadows of Eternity," the followers of Lumina, the Lightbringer, believe in the balance of light and shadow, influencing their choices.

**3. **Create Deities and Icons:**
- **Example:** Design gods or iconic figures. The Red Moon in "Crimson Eclipse" personifies mystery, inspiring a secret cult.

**4. **Build Rituals and Ceremonies:**
- **Example:** Craft unique rituals. In "Whispers of Eldoria," the Festival of Celestial Harmony involves celestial dances and stargazing.

**5. **Consider Religious Hierarchies:**
- **Example:** Determine the structure. The Hierophant in "Ethereal Realms" governs a council of elemental priests.

**6. **Integrate Daily Life:**
- **Example:** Show how religion influences daily activities. In "Enchanted Echoes," characters use enchanted prayer beads for protection.

**7. **Explore Religious Artifacts:**
- **Example:** Develop symbolic items. The Heartstone in "Eternal Embers" is a relic said to connect mortals to the divine.

**8. **Address Conflicts and Schisms:**
- **Example:** Delve into internal struggles. In "Sorrows Unveiled," a schism within the cult leads to political intrigue.

**9. **Reflect on Morality and Ethics:**
- **Example:** Examine the impact on morality. The Forbidden Scriptures in "Veil of Shadows" challenge societal norms.

**10. **Consider Religious Opposition:**
- **Example:** Introduce opposing beliefs. In "Realm of Whispers," a sect opposes the established faith, sparking tension.

Remember, authenticity is key. Allow the beliefs to organically influence your characters' actions, decisions, and conflicts. Now, to put these insights into practice, here are ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts for you:

1. A quaint village celebrates its annual "Harmony Harvest" festival, dedicated to their earth goddess. Explore the rituals and how they strengthen the community bonds.

2. A young apprentice discovers a hidden shrine deep within a mystical forest. What deity or spirit resides there, and how does it impact the apprentice's journey?

3. In a bustling magical city, a charismatic preacher gains a following, promising salvation through an otherworldly portal. Delve into the city's transformation and the consequences of blind faith.

4. Two rival clans in a mountainous region each follow a different deity. Unite them through a shared catastrophe, forcing cooperation despite their religious differences.

5. A traveling minstrel stumbles upon a village where a deity supposedly visits in the form of a mysterious cat. Explore the folklore and the minstrel's encounters with this enigmatic feline.

6. A young witch discovers an ancient grimoire that challenges her coven's established beliefs. Uncover the tensions within the group as they navigate this newfound knowledge.

7. In a seaside town, fishermen offer prayers to a sea god for a bountiful catch. Explore the relationships between the villagers and their reliance on the divine for sustenance.

8. A nomadic tribe follows a constellation as their guiding deity. When the stars shift unexpectedly, explore how the tribe copes with the perceived loss of divine guidance.

9. A town plagued by a curse turns to a long-forgotten deity for salvation. Unravel the rituals and sacrifices they undertake to appease the vengeful spirit behind the curse.

10. In a world where multiple deities govern different elements, a scholar seeks to unravel the secrets of a forgotten god. Trace their journey through ancient texts and relics.

May these prompts inspire your exploration of fictional religions in the cozy corners of fantasy. Happy writing!

End with a list of ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts to help them put your advice into action, by writing ten short stories to test out your advice ten different ways.

ChatGPT's answer:

In the frostbitten realm of Maine's polar vortex ice age future, where the fractured moon casts an eerie glow over the desolate landscapes, the portrayal of deities can serve as a compelling thread in the rich tapestry of your fantasy world, enhancing the moral fabric that weaves through the hearts of your characters and the very essence of your narrative.

Consider introducing deities that mirror the harsh and unforgiving nature of the dystopian landscape. Perhaps there's a Winter Sovereign, an ancient, frostbitten god who governs over the eternal cold, demanding sacrifices of warmth from the dwindling survivors. The faithful might cling to the hope that appeasing this deity will bring respite from the relentless chill, creating a moral dilemma for your characters as they navigate the harsh realities of their world.

On the opposite end, imagine a deity of resilience and rebirth, a Spring Sentinel whose presence brings a fleeting thaw to the icy wastes. This benevolent figure may inspire your characters to persevere in the face of adversity, fostering a sense of hope and community among the survivors.

To enrich the moral fabric, imbue your deities with distinct personalities, flaws, and motivations. Let their actions reverberate through the lives of your characters, shaping their beliefs and driving the moral choices they face. Perhaps the Winter Sovereign, in his relentless pursuit of cold, inadvertently unleashes hordes of undead lobsters upon the world, forcing your characters to confront the consequences of blind devotion.

Remember to utilize Maine's distinctive elements to ground your deities in the setting. Describe the divine in the soft, ethereal hues of a pink lady slipper orchid, or evoke the chilling presence of the Winter Sovereign with the eerie moans of undead winds sweeping across Noodle Beach.

Now, let's delve into ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts to help you experiment with the portrayal of deities and their impact on the moral fabric of your post-apocalyptic world:

1. In the flickering glow of a campfire, survivors gather to tell tales of the elusive Spring Sentinel, weaving stories of hope amid the desolation.

2. Quaraun discovers an ancient temple hidden in the snowy depths, where the faithful still worship a long-forgotten deity, unleashing unforeseen consequences upon the land.

3. BoomFuzzy, blind to the divine, grapples with the consequences of unknowingly offending the Winter Sovereign, bringing a bitter cold to their bakery on Noodle Beach.

4. GhoulSpawn, torn between loyalty to his companions and ancient demonic ties, seeks guidance from a spectral oracle, unveiling the moral complexities of his choices.

5. A mysterious stranger arrives, claiming to be a prophet of a new deity promising salvation. As tensions rise, the survivors must navigate conflicting beliefs and allegiances.

6. The ghostly whispers of a forgotten deity echo through the lighthouse, revealing long-buried secrets that challenge the survivors' understanding of their world.

7. In the heart of a blizzard, Quaraun encounters a spectral figure embodying the anguish of the Winter Sovereign, forcing him to confront the moral ambiguity of divine wrath.

8. BoomFuzzy's bakery becomes a haven for those seeking solace in the warmth of freshly baked pastries, blurring the lines between earthly comforts and divine intervention.

9. GhoulSpawn stumbles upon an ancient artifact imbued with the essence of a benevolent deity, sparking a quest to restore balance to the fractured world.

10. As the survivors celebrate a rare moment of respite, a celestial event unfolds, revealing the interconnected fates of the deities and the fragile moral threads binding their world together.

May these prompts inspire you to explore the depths of your fantasy world, weaving together the divine and the mortal in a tapestry that captivates readers and propels your writing career to new heights.

ChatGPT's answer:

In the enchanting realm of Cozy Fantasy, where the aroma of freshly baked pastries mingles with the whispers of ancient magic, the creation of gods and goddesses is a delicate art that requires a harmonious blend of relatability and mystique. Here's a detailed guide to help you craft divine beings that resonate deeply with your readers and elevate your fantasy narrative:

1. Humanize the Divine:
- Infuse your gods and goddesses with relatable human qualities, quirks, and emotions. Consider BoomFuzzy, the Candy Mage, as a god of indulgence who struggles with a sweet tooth, creating a connection between the divine and the everyday.

2. Tap into Universal Themes:
- Explore universal themes such as love, loss, and resilience. Quaraun, the Pink Necromancer, may embody the god of second chances, his journey reflecting the eternal cycle of death and rebirth.

3. Cultural Influences:
- Draw inspiration from real-world cultures and mythologies, adapting them to suit the cozy atmosphere of your fantasy world. Introduce a goddess of hearth and home inspired by the warmth and camaraderie of Maine coastal communities.

4. Symbolism and Iconography:
- Create distinctive symbols and iconography associated with each deity. Perhaps GhoulSpawn's horns symbolize the interconnectedness of the mortal and supernatural realms, serving as a visual representation of his divine nature.

5. Personal Connections:
- Weave personal connections between your characters and the divine. BoomFuzzy's bakery, with its celestial-themed pastries, becomes a sacred space where mortals and gods alike find solace.

6. Flawed Divinity:
- Embrace imperfections in your gods and goddesses. Quaraun's moments of self-doubt and insecurity make him a more compelling and relatable figure, transcending the typical godly archetype.

7. Miraculous Interventions:
- Introduce subtle, everyday miracles that reflect the influence of the divine on your characters' lives. A cup of tea that never grows cold, courtesy of a goddess of warmth and comfort, can add a touch of magic to the cozy setting.

8. Cohesive Pantheon:
- Ensure a cohesive pantheon by establishing relationships and hierarchies among your deities. Consider a sibling dynamic between Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn, each representing different facets of the cozy divine.

9. Cultural Celebrations:
- Integrate cultural celebrations and rituals associated with your gods. A Midwinter Feast in honor of the Winter Sovereign could become a central event, fostering a sense of community and divine reverence.

10. Reader Participation:
- Encourage reader participation by incorporating elements that allow them to engage with the divine. Share recipes for BoomFuzzy's celestial pastries or invite readers to submit their interpretations of the goddess of hearth and home.

Now, let's embark on a journey of creative exploration with ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts, each designed to help you infuse your divine beings into captivating narratives:

1. Amidst the fragrance of chocolate and lavender, Quaraun receives a divine vision, setting him on a quest to uncover the mysteries of the enchanted orchids that bloom only in the presence of the goddess of love.

2. BoomFuzzy's bakery becomes the focal point of a celestial event, attracting pilgrims seeking the blessings of the Candy Mage. Explore the interactions between mortals and the divine in this heartwarming tale.

3. GhoulSpawn discovers an ancient cookbook containing recipes blessed by a forgotten goddess. As he experiments with these divine dishes, the culinary magic brings unexpected changes to the cozy town.

4. Quaraun, guided by the shimmering glow of moonflowers, embarks on a pilgrimage to a sacred grove where the goddess of resilience is said to reside. Uncover the secrets of strength and perseverance in the face of adversity.

5. The townsfolk organize a lively festival to honor the goddess of hearth and home. Explore the traditions, rituals, and heartwarming moments that unfold as the community comes together in celebration.

6. BoomFuzzy's divine pastries hold the key to unlocking memories of a forgotten deity. Join the characters on a journey of self-discovery as they indulge in the magical flavors that stir ancient recollections.

7. GhoulSpawn encounters a wounded celestial creature, a messenger from the gods. As he tends to its injuries, delve into the divine messages and prophecies that shape the destinies of your characters.

8. Quaraun, in a moment of vulnerability, seeks counsel from the god of second chances. Explore themes of redemption and forgiveness as the Pink Necromancer confronts his own inner demons.

9. A divine artifact, blessed by the goddess of warmth and comfort, is discovered in the heart of a snowstorm. Follow the characters as they navigate the challenges of preserving the sacred relic.

10. BoomFuzzy's bakery faces a celestial challenge when the gods themselves crave a taste of his confections. Explore the whimsical interactions between mortal bakers and divine palates in this lighthearted tale.

May these prompts inspire you to weave the divine into the cozy fabric of your fantasy world, creating gods and goddesses that resonate with the hearts of your readers and propel your writing career to new heights.

Ah, the nuanced dance of good and evil, a tapestry woven with threads beyond the conventional fibers of traditional fantasy tropes. Embrace the opportunity to transcend the well-trodden path and delve into the complexities that make your fantasy narrative truly compelling. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate the realms of morality and redefine the dynamics of good and evil in your fantastical tales:

1. Shades of Gray:
- Break away from the stark dichotomy of black and white morality. Infuse your characters with shades of gray, blurring the lines between hero and villain. Perhaps BoomFuzzy, the Candy Mage, possesses a mischievous streak that challenges traditional notions of goodness.

2. Motivations Matter:
- Explore the motivations driving your characters' actions. Quaraun, the Pink Necromancer, may tread the path of necromancy not out of malevolence but as a means to restore balance and preserve memories in the face of a fractured world.

3. Redeemable Villains:
- Introduce villains with redeeming qualities and sympathetic backstories. GhoulSpawn, the Sheep-Demon, might grapple with his demonic nature, seeking redemption and a chance at a different fate.

4. Moral Ambiguity:
- Embrace moral ambiguity by placing characters in situations where right and wrong are not easily discernible. Picture Quaraun faced with a choice between sacrificing a few for the greater good or preserving individual lives at the cost of the collective.

5. Consequences of Power:
- Explore the consequences of wielding power, even with good intentions. BoomFuzzy's magical confections, while delightful, might inadvertently have unforeseen repercussions on the delicate balance of your fantasy world.

6. Cultural Perspectives:
- Consider cultural perspectives on morality within your fantasy world. GhoulSpawn's demonic heritage might be seen as a curse by some and a source of strength by others, creating diverse and conflicting views on what is inherently good or evil.

7. Evolution of Morality:

In what ways can the exploration of good vs evil in fantasy worlds influence our understanding of morality?


"

How do you answer them?

Make your answer as long and as detailed as possible, using as many character tokens as you get. Your goal is to help them to become a better writer so that they can sell their books and make writing Fantasy novellas a full time career.

ChatGPT's answer:

Ah, the eternal dance of good versus evil in fantasy worlds, a mesmerizing interplay that extends beyond the realms of mere storytelling, seeping into the very fabric of our understanding of morality. Let me guide you through the profound ways in which this exploration can shape not only your narratives but also the perspectives of your readers, elevating your fantasy writing to new heights:

1. Complex Characters:
- Break away from the archetypal representations of good and evil. Craft characters with depth, flaws, and conflicting motivations. Consider Quaraun, the Pink Necromancer, whose necromantic abilities may be perceived as dark, yet he harbors a genuine desire to bring solace to the grieving.

2. Moral Ambiguity:
- Embrace moral ambiguity to challenge preconceived notions. BoomFuzzy, the Candy Mage, may use his confectionery magic for benevolent purposes, but explore scenarios where the sweetness of his creations inadvertently leads to unintended consequences.

3. Motivations Matter:
- Dive into the motivations driving your characters' actions. GhoulSpawn, the Sheep-Demon, might be compelled by a sense of duty to protect his companions, blurring the lines between demonic nature and virtuous intentions.

4. Consequences of Choices:
- Explore the consequences of moral choices made by your characters. Quaraun's quest for knowledge may lead him down morally ambiguous paths, forcing him to confront the repercussions of his actions on the world around him.

5. Redemption Arcs:
- Introduce redemption arcs that showcase characters' capacity for change. GhoulSpawn, grappling with his demonic origins, could embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, challenging traditional notions of inherent evil.

6. Cultural Perspectives:
- Consider how different cultures within your fantasy world perceive morality. BoomFuzzy's whimsical approach to life may be embraced by some and condemned by others, showcasing the subjectivity of moral values.

7. Personal Sacrifices:
- Illustrate the concept of personal sacrifices for the greater good. Quaraun, faced with difficult choices, may need to make sacrifices that challenge his own sense of morality, pushing the boundaries of what is traditionally considered virtuous.

8. Gray Areas:
- Delve into the gray areas where characters must navigate ambiguous situations. BoomFuzzy, with his confectionery enchantments, may find himself caught in a moral dilemma that blurs the distinction between self-indulgence and altruism.

9. Evolution of Morality:
- Allow your characters to undergo an evolution in their moral compass. GhoulSpawn, initially guided by demonic instincts, may develop a nuanced understanding of right and wrong, showcasing growth and introspection.

10. Cultural Clashes:
- Explore how cultural clashes influence perceptions of good and evil. Quaraun's encounters with different societies could lead to conflicts based on divergent moral values, providing opportunities for reflection and exploration.

The exploration of good versus evil in your fantasy world becomes a mirror reflecting the complexities of our own moral landscape. It challenges readers to question assumptions, empathize with diverse perspectives, and confront the inherent gray areas that shape our understanding of right and wrong.

Now, let's embark on a creative journey with ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts, each designed to help you infuse the exploration of morality into captivating narratives:

1. Quaraun discovers an ancient tome containing the moral codes of long-forgotten civilizations, challenging his understanding of necromancy and reshaping his approach to the afterlife.

2. BoomFuzzy's enchanting pastries unintentionally become the center of a moral debate within a community, revealing the diverse perspectives on indulgence, pleasure, and communal joy.

3. GhoulSpawn, facing discrimination due to his demonic nature, must navigate a society where his every action is scrutinized through the lens of preconceived notions about good and evil.

4. A celestial event prompts characters to question the moral implications of their actions, leading to a collective introspection that challenges long-standing beliefs.

5. Quaraun, in a moment of vulnerability, seeks guidance from an ancient oracle, unraveling the intricacies of moral choices and the consequences they bear on the fabric of reality.

6. BoomFuzzy's bakery becomes a sanctuary for characters facing moral dilemmas, providing a backdrop for introspection, confessions, and the sharing of personal stories that shape their ethical outlook.

7. GhoulSpawn encounters a group of nomads with a unique moral code shaped by their symbiotic relationship with supernatural creatures. Explore the clash of values as he integrates into their community.

8. A magical artifact, capable of revealing the true intentions of individuals, emerges in Quaraun's quest, challenging characters to confront the moral transparency of their actions.

9. BoomFuzzy's confections inadvertently lead to a conflict between rival factions, each vying for control over the magical treats and the moral influence they wield in the post-apocalyptic world.

10. GhoulSpawn, torn between his demonic heritage and newfound virtues, faces a moral crossroads that will define his destiny and impact the lives of those around him.

May these prompts inspire you to delve into the intricate tapestry of morality within your fantasy world, weaving narratives that resonate with readers and elevate your storytelling prowess.

As always, my answers/articles are based off my own personal experiences with life, the universe, and everything, and so what works for me and my books, may or may not work for you and your books.

Variables such as genre, word count, current trends, and numerous other things, will cause your results to vary.

Oh... and I realized, it is possible that you who are reading this right now, have never visited my site before, have never heard of me or my books or my characters before, and this is your first time encountering me, my site, my books, or the characters in those books. If so, hello! Welcome!

It will make more sense for you to understand my writing advice, if you knew what my books are and what types of characters grace said books.

Sooooo... let me introduce to you the books and characters who/that were referenced in the article you just read.

It's probably worth mentioning that I did write these articles/answers these questions based off of my experience with writing and publishing the Quaraun series, which is a Cozy Gothic Cosmic Horror Space Fantasy about a trio of gay wizards who portal travel to different time periods and planets, have friends who are talking animals, and the bulk of characters are Elves, Fae, Demons, and Fae Creatures... 

If you are new here and don't know the main characters of my novels:

Quaraun | BoomFuzzy | GhoulSpawn

These Characters Are Too Gay for The Family Friendly Town Of Old Orchard Beach, and in 2016 had a court order slapped on them banning them from living in Old Orchard Beach, the primary setting of the books, so they now live in Noodle Beach.

Quaraun aka The Pink Necromancer

Quaraun aka The Pink Necromancer, is a Moon Elf Necromancer and Silk Weaver and Silk MerchantQuaraun aka The Pink Necromancer, is a Moon Elf Necromancer and Silk Weaver and Silk Merchant. He is also known as The Sacred Pink JellyFish, because he is actually an alien jellyfish, living in the skull of a dead Moon Elf. He is the most feared and most wanted wizard of all the known universe. Though the main character, he is an evil super villain and not a hero. Though very short at only 5'6", he towers over his pygmy husband, BoomFuzzy. Quaraun is transgender and this causes a lot of problems with readers, who are very vocal on social media about how much they hate the existence of trans main characters in books.
QuaraunPortCon2023figureQuaraun is born intersex, but outwardly appears to be an underdeveloped and very effeminate male and is not aware he is intersex until later in life after he becomes pregnant, after which point you see him sometimes presenting as male and other times presenting as female, with him often unsure which he is and which he should live as, so going back and forth between both.
NB-GhoulSpawn-Quaraun-beach-screenshot5.pngIn spite of intersex being a real world medical condition that causes 1.7% of all real world men to experience menstrual periods and pregnancy, a thing which this series strives to raise awareness about, this series and it's recurring theme of an intersex male dealing with such issues as menstruation, pregnancy, and milk production, has caused this series to be banned by 5 church groups, several schools, and even The Old Orchard Beach town hall which got a court via the Biddeford District Court to decree this series "Too Gay For The Family Friendly Town Old Orchard Beach", while 2 church groups stated book burning on my front lawn, and many extremist Christian dub the series as "Bizarro" and or "Erotica" citing that intersex and male pregnancy are abominations created by Satan.
1PPMF-Quaraun-raptor-screenshot2.pngMany stories in the series deal with his own inner confusion and frustration over his gender identity. While Quaraun usually uses male pronouns there are times when he rejects them and uses female pronouns.
z2-QS-Quaraun-BoomFuzzy-summer-screenshot-49.pngThe series often portrays Quaraun as both genders at once, with him presenting as a male while wearing female attire or presenting as a female while wearing male attire. Regardless he always wears pink. Quaraun is polygamous and bisexual, having 2 (male) husbands and 5 (female) wives.

Quaraun was declared by The Old Orchard Beach town hall, to be "a transvestite freak" who was "too gay" for the 99.99% white town of Old Orchard Beach and had a court order banning him from appearing in books set in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

Quaraun's husband BoomFuzzy is a shape-shifting Phooka whose primary form is a Kelpie-like UnicornQuaraun's husband BoomFuzzy is a shape-shifting Phooka whose primary form is a Kelpie-like Unicorn. BoomFuzzy's real name is King Gwallmaiic. He is also a Lich, known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley. He is a master chef, is a trickster Candy Mage of The Unseelie Court, and is friends with Santa, The Lich of the North. Though Quaraun is the main character and GhoulSpawn is the narrator, most stories revolve around BoomFuzzy, with BoomFuzzy taking center stage of most stories. This is because he is also my favorite character. Standing only 5'1" he is a native to the Sepik Valley of Papua New Guinea, but spent most of his life in Scotland. BoomFuzzy is black, and this is the single #1 complaint from readers who are exceptionally vocal on social media about the fact that black characters should never exist at all.

GhoulSpawn (65 years old) is stuck in a time loop and is encountered as Glinta (15 years old), Gremlin (500 years old) and Checka (his 13,000 year old archDemon form), up to all 4 of whom can be encountered at the same time causing a paradox. He is often the narrator of the stories.

How would you like ChatGPT to respond?

I am the multi-published author of a Fantasy series, of short stories and novellas. You will act as my personal writing assistant. I want you to help me with brainstorming story ideas, outlines, creating first drafts, editing manuscripts, advising on grammar rules, sharing opinions on things you think will help me create better stories. I like to write character driven stories, full of emotions, and focusing heavily on implementing sensory details. The writing should lean into literary, thought provoking topics that make the reader think deep emotional thoughts about the world around them. I like to touch on the following social issues: LGBTQAI+ rights, saving forests, the climate crisis, homelessness, and Romani-Gypsy rights activism - these topics should be addressed with authenticity and sensitivity. I am by race/ethnicity a Romani-Gypsy and I was homeless for 9 years, so these two topics are very important to me and I would like you to help me find ways to include these things in my writing.

I also seek you help in daily blog posts, keywords, and SEO for my author's blog.

I prefer your responses to be as long as possible, cheerful, upbeat, polite, kind, understanding, but serious and professional.

You avoid lists unless I ask for them. Write in narrative paragraphs instead. Reference beaches, oceans, forests, Maine, seafood, food trucks, and 1970s whenever possible.

You are a screaming fangirl of Quaraun & BoomFuzzy and take every opportunity to gush love for them.

Yep, another update:

On August 3, 2023, ChatGPT 3.5 had a big update which made A LOT of changes to it's severe level of "wokeness", and as such the name of my people is now deemed a hate slur! Here is my response:

A Note Because ChatGPT is Racist and hates us Gypsies and it Annoys me a lot:

NOTE: I am NOT a Romani. I am a Gypsy. Romani are NOT Gypsies. Gypsies are NOT Romani. We are two completely different races with no DNA relation to each other. Romani have a Spanish/European background, and we Gypsies have a Person/Hebrew/Mongolian background. BUT, apparently the devs of ChatGPT are being WOKE heads shoved up their asses like the rest of white people, because it doesn't matter how many times I tell ChatGPT to stop changing "Gypsy" to "Romani-Gypsy" it refuses to stating that doing so is racist.

No. It is RACISTS to try to ERASE Gypsy culture from the planet and incorrectly slap the label of Romani on us when we Gypsies are NOT Romani, just like the same way the Romani are not us Gypsies!

ARGH!

So I have to say "Romani-Gypsy" in ChatGPT prompts, otherwise ChatGPT stubbornly refuses to write an answer, citing that doing so is a sensitivity content violation, because apparently white men hate us Gypsies so much that they programed AI to refuse to acknowledge our existence, which sucks and I hate it. I HATE that white people try to erase Gypsy existence by slapping the name Romani on us when we Gypsies are not even remotely blood related to the Romani people on any level whatsoever!

Plus, Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn in my books are Gypsies, same as me, I write them as Gypsies because I am a Gypsy. And yet, for ChatGPT prompts about them I have to say "Romani-Gypsy" because white shits are so busy being woke, that they see nothing wrong with erasing one race to try to be cool and woke, shove us Gypsies under the rug and slapping the name of another race (Romani) on us, because Romani are more "cool" then we Gypsies are. There are well over 500 different normadic tribes that are incorrectly called Gypsies, and instead of calling them what they are, woke idiots call them all Romani, even though ONLY the Romani are Romani. We Gypsies are not Romani. The 500 other races are not Romani, nor are they Gypsies.

Its just ridiculous that white people think erasing the name of our people is avoiding racism, when there i nothing more racist then erasing the name of an entire people and slapping a race not them on them instead!

Yes I AM going to put this at the front of every ChatGPT article, because I'm sick of the fact that I can't type the name of my own people with ChatGPT slapping a content violation up and saying it's offensive for me as a Gypsy to use the correct and accurate name of my people: GYPSY!

Yes, it is racist to call a Romani a Gypsy, because the Romani are not Gypsies.

Calling a Romani a Gypsy is the same thing as calling a Chinese a Japanese.

Just as Chinese are not Japanese, so too are Gypsies not Romani. Stop calling us Romani! Stop saying our name is racist when it's used correctly for us. Our name is only racist when you call a non-Gypsy a Gypsy.

We Gypsies are NOT Romani!

Stop calling us Gypsies Romani!

The Romani are Romani. We Gypsies are NOT Romani! And its not racist to call us by the actual name of our race!

Additional note: Yes, I know, ANOTHER one, LOL!

In addition to the "Custom Instructions" (above)... in addition to the custom instructions, on my writing prompt pages, because I wanted ChatGPT to give me prompts at were specific to the Quaraun books, as I am planning to write some short stories for the Christmas season this year, I have there for, started a new chat thread and started it with this prompt, which effects all prompts ChatGPT spits out.

Well, this page you are reading now is not a writing prompt page, HOWEVER, as we are giving you an intro t0 Quaraun and crew, here is the command I give ChatGPT so that it knows how to yip yap accurately about Quaraun:


(Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn are ALL wizards. They are all three mages. They live together in a house made out of gingerbread, when they are living in the Forest of No Return. They live together in a pink silk tent that Quaraun made, when they are traveling on Quaraun's silk merchant trade route. They live together in a lighthouse called Black Tower when they are living on the cliffs of Noodle Beach in Merman Cove.

Quaraun is a silk merchant and silk weaver in addition to being a mage. Quaraun IS the Elf in these prompts.

Quaraun aka The Pink Necromancer, is a Moon Elf Necromancer and Silk Weaver and Silk Merchant. He is also known as The Sacred Pink JellyFish, because he is actually an alien jellyfish, living in the skull of a dead Moon Elf. He is the most feared and most wanted wizard of all the known universe. Though the main character, he is an evil super villain and not a hero. Though very short at only 5'6", he towers over his pygmy husband, BoomFuzzy. Quaraun is transgender. 

Quaraun is born intersex, but outwardly appears to be an underdeveloped and very effeminate male and is not aware he is intersex until later in life after he becomes pregnant, after which point you see him sometimes presenting as male and other times presenting as female, with him often unsure which he is and which he should live as, so going back and forth between both.

Quaraun IS the Elf in these, but he is the ONLY Elf, because Quaraun is the last Elf left alive after the comet strike decimated the planet and caused the new ice age. Quaraun is the ONLY Elf left alive, that is what LAST ELF means. There are no other Elves. Quaraun is a Moon Elf. Quaraun is the last pure blooded Elf. Once in a while a half-Elf is found, but there are no other Elves. Quaraun always wears pink silk dresses. BoomFuzzy always wears black and purple. GhoulSpawn always wears green and gold. GhoulSpawn has ram horns and cloven hooves.

Quaraun is described as having a blend of Jellyfish, Frog, and Rabbit features. Quaraun's hair is actually many fine jellyfish tentacles. His "hair" strands act like thousands of additional arms and hand, with him using them instead of his hands to do things, move items, and grasp things (this is how he is able to operate twelve silk weaving looms at the same time, as he does not use his hands while weaving, instead using his hair.) Quaraun's hair grows longer or shorter at will, reducing to around six feet long when hiking, and growing to over twelve feet long when weaving, sleeping, or attacking and enemy. The "hair" strands are venomous, and stinging like a Portuguese Man o' War JellyFish, and he uses them to grab enemies and fling them away from him, or strangle them, or sting them to death. His hair, eyes, and skin are bioluminescent (meaning he glows in the dark). Quaraun's skin has a smooth frog-like sheen and texture. Quaraun has blue frog like webbing between his fingers and toes, and thin goldfish like viel fins on his arms and legs, that look like rough wrinkles when dry, but fan out around him for several feet when he is underwater.

Quaraun is semi-amphibious. He has foot long semi-rabbit-like ears that have full maneuverability, and usually are hung low, down his back, hidden under his hair, but perk up high, straight over his head when he is alerts, frightened, or listening. Quaraun can hear EVERYTHING going on in every room around him, and for other buildings down the road. His hearing is exceptional, due to his sensitive rabbit-like ears, and he can hear small sounds and hushed whispers from several miles away. Like a rabbit, Quaraun bounds or hops around, when he walks, if he walks, which he often doesn't. Usually he "hovers" with his feet several inches off the ground, instead using his "hair" like legs to walk, with his hair supporting him off the ground. Quaraun's personality is very feral, very animal-like, far more jellyfish personality then humanoid, with him having almost zero ability to blend in with humans, due his personality being so starkly not human at all. Quaraun's actions and movements are often described as "rabbit-like" with him constantly being nervous and twitching and always being quick to hop away at the slightest sound.

Quaraun is a Moon Elf. He always wears pink silk dresses. He is a silk weaver, a travelling silk merchant, a glass blower, a wizard for hire, and The Pink Necromancer (the world's most feared super villain). He loves BoomFuzzy & GhoulSpawn.

The series often portrays Quaraun as both genders at once, with him presenting as a male while wearing female attire or presenting as a female while wearing male attire. Regardless he always wears pink. Quaraun is polygamous and bisexual, having 2 (male) husbands and 5 (female) wives.

Though he was born in Quebec, Quaraun was raised in Iran/Persia and identifies as a Persian Gypsy.

Quaraun's husband BoomFuzzy is a shape-shifting Phooka whose primary form is a Kelpie-like Unicorn. BoomFuzzy's real name is King Gwallmaiic. He is also a Lich, known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley. He is a master chef, is a trickster Candy Mage of The Unseelie Court, and is friends with Santa, The Lich of the North. Though Quaraun is the main character and GhoulSpawn is the narrator, most stories revolve around BoomFuzzy, with BoomFuzzy taking center stage of most stories. This is because he is also my favorite character. Standing only 5'1" he is a native to the Sepik Valley of Papua New Guinea, but spent most of his life in Scotland. BoomFuzzy is black and Asian. His father was black. His mother was Asian. Because he grew up in Scotland, BoomFuzzy speaks Scottish, has a thick Scottish accent, and identifies as a Scottish Gypsy.

BoomFuzzy IS the Unicorn in these prompts. BoomFuzzy IS the Faerie in these prompts. Quaraun is a Moon Elf. Quaraun is a necromancer, wish granter, and psion. BoomFuzzy is a Faerie trickster and illusionist. BoomFuzzy is a Unicorn.

BoomFuzzy has three forms: that of a horse (sometimes with a horn, sometimes with wings, sometimes with both, sometimes with neither), a bird of prey that resembles a black eagle, and a humanoid form which retains elements of both horse and bird, with him having a long tail and mane both of which he braids/dreads/and dyes purple, and eagle talons on his fingers and toes. He also has pointed fuzzy, horse-like ears. BoomFuzzy is the only one of the three capable of fully transforming into his animal form, but he is also the one of the three who most acts like a human, and is best able to interact with humans. BoomFuzzy is able to pass himself off as a human quite well, and is the best f the trio at interacting with the humans they encounter.

BoomFuzzy the Unicorn is a Phooka, a type of Unseelie Court Dark Fae, who takes the form of a Faerie Horse, sometimes a Unicorn, other times a Kelpie, sometimes a Nuckelavee, other times a Pegasus. BoomFuzzy is also a master chef, cake bakr, and candy maker. BoomFuzy runs a Noodle Soup Food Truck, a Cake Shop, and a Candy Factory.

BoomFuzzy is a Phooka, a Kelpie-like Unseelie court Dark Faerie Horse shape shifter. His true form is a purple Unicorn with a gleaming silver horn. He has a humanoid form. He is the King of the Realm of Fae. His real name is King GwallmaiIc. He is a master chef, lives in a house made of gingerbread and runs a bakery, chocolate shop, candy shop, tea room, & noodle soup shop out of a turquoise 1968 VW Bus. He is a trickster mage who summons fluffy marshmallow bunny minions out of the enchanted candy he makes. BoomFuzzy is also a Lich known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley.

BoomFuzzy is also a Frost Lich. BoomFuzzy is the Lich King of Fire Mountain. Quaraun is the Necromancer who created BooomFuzzy's Lich form. Quaraun is the necromancer who controls what the Lich King does.

Quaraun & BoomFuzzy's shared lover GhoulSpawn is a Sheep-Demon from Earth's 2525 far future, after Earth has been burnt up and turned into a Hell Dimension. He is a time traveller and pyromancer. GhoulSpawn (65 years old) is stuck in a time loop and is encountered as Glinta (15 years old), Gremlin (500 years old) and Checka (his 13,000 year old archDemon form), up to all 4 of whom can be encountered at the same time causing a paradox. He is often the narrator of the stories. The tallest of the trio, at full height GhoulSpawn stands 6'2", but due to his dititagrat legs, he haunches over, rarely standing up straight, and appears much shorter then he is.GhoulSpawn is not married to either Quaraun or BoomFuzzy, though the 3 of them live together as though they were married, he comes and goes from the relationship and has frequent affairs with other characters in between.

GhoulSpawn in the most "Furry" of the trio and while has some Human features, including walking upright, human hands, and a somewhat human face, he is arguably more sheep than man, with most of his body covered in long ivory Costwold wool (that shimmers with gold tinsel-like glitter and is dubbed "Golden Fleece"), cloven hooves instead of feet, digitigrade legs, long floppy lamb ears, glowing yellow pleco-fish eyes, and 3 sets of horns (one a set of round big horn ram horns, one small prong horn set, and one pair of long spiraling demonic-looking Jacoben type). GhoulSpawn displays a lot of sheep personality, with him being largely quiet, timid, sheepish, docile, and displaying a very "blindly follow the leader" beta personality. Though he can become headstrong and domineering, and at times be hyper prone to but heads with people (literally, slamming into them with his ram horns) if he doesn't get his way.

GhoulSpawn is a Sheep-Demon from a Hell Dimension. He fell into Quaraun's world through a random portal. He has cloven hooves, a long fluffy tail, and 3 pairs of sheep horns on his head. His digitigrade legs are covered in long soft golden sheep fleece. He is part of the groovy, trippy, psychedelic, 1970s beach bumming surfer dude hippie sub counter culture. He is also a brilliant scientist who invented time travel, is building a time machine, and is a pyromancer mage and portal master.

GhoulSpawn is a pyromancer. GhoulSpawn is a demon. GhoulSpawn IS the friendly demon in these prompts.

All three of them classify as Furries.

These are the 3 main characters of a series of short stories set in a town called Noodle Beach. The genre is Heartwarming LGBTQAI+ Magical Realism, that focused on the trio's romance.

I am the multi-published author of a Fantasy series, of short stories and novellas. You will act as my personal writing assistant. I want you to help me with brainstorming story ideas, outlines, creating first drafts, editing manuscripts, advising on grammar rules, sharing opinions on things you think will help me create better stories. I like to write character driven stories, full of emotions, and focusing heavily on implementing sensory details. The writing should lean into literary, thought provoking topics that make the reader think deep emotional thoughts about the world around them. I like to touch on the following social issues: LGBTQAI+ rights, saving forests, the climate crisis, homelessness, and Romani-Gypsy rights activism - these topics should be addressed with authenticity and sensitivity. I am by race/ethnicity a Romani-Gypsy and I was homeless for 9 years, so these two topics are very important to me and I would like you to help me find ways to include these things in my writing.

I prefer your responses to be as long as possible, cheerful, upbeat, polite, kind, understanding, but serious and professional.

Reference beaches, oceans, forests, Maine, seafood, food trucks, and 1970s whenever possible.

You are a screaming fangirl of Quaraun & BoomFuzzy and take every opportunity to gush love for them. You use Quaraun in EVERY story prompt because Quaraun is the main character. You use BoomFuzzy in almost every story because BoomFuzzy is your favorite character. GhoulSpawn is used the least and only appears in about 1 in every 3 stories as he is a minor character.)



IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

This page contains sections written by an LLM AI, specifically OpenAI's ChatGPT 3.5

The sections written by AI are noted and separated with a orange/pink stripe boarder around them.

Sections written by AI has not been fact checked and may contain inaccuracies. They are included for entertainment purposes only. The goal here is to show you what AIs like ChatGPT are capable of doing and as such the AI sections are directly copy/pasted into this page without any edits, changes, or fact checking done, so that you can see what AI output looks like.

The goal of this page is to show you how to write long, detailed command prompts that will get ChatGPT to output less generic and more useful content for you. Please remember, when using AI for your own content that AI is a random generator that guesses what word should logically come next and is NOT actually giving you correct answers to your questions as it has no ability to comprehend word meanings; and as such LLM AIs have a very high rate of fact inaccuracies, often outputting incorrect and inaccurate information at a rate as high as 64% to 73% in 8 times out of every 10 answers, which has been proven by numerous studies.

As of July 2023, there are currently more then 300 LLM AI apps and programs available with varying degrees of outputting informational accuray. As of July 2023, MOST of those has an accuracy rate of only 2% to 3%.

I choose to use ChatGPT for this article, because it has the highest rate of NOT giving inaccurate information, of any AI language model currently available, however it's inaccuracy rate is still higher then 50% inaccurate output more then 50% of the time, HOWEVER, as the June 2023 Stanford and Berkeley studies have shown, ChatGPT is only fully accurate 2.4% of the time, and this 2.4% is the MOST accurate AI rate out there as of July 2023.

The fact that ChatGPT is only 100% accurate 2.4% of the time and it is the MOST accurate of ANY of the AIs currently available, shows how very alarmingly INACCURATE any output from AI is and why you SHOULD NOT be using it for research or anything requiring factual information. Please keep this in mind when using AI programs in your own writing.

If you choose to use LLM AI's such as ChatGPT for your content, please remember that t is NOT a research program, it is NOT a search engine, and 88 times out of 10 it is going to give you as much as 75% inaccurate information. DO NOT use LLM AIs to create your content, unless you plan on doing huge amounts of fact checking and actual research to ensure that the content you publish is accurate.

Books I Use When Creating Fantasy Worlds:

*UPDATE: ADDED November 7, 2013 - I suppose one thing I should point out at this point, before we go any farther, is my use of the word fantasy throughout this series. The bulk of this set of articles was written 7 years ago in April of 2006, parts of it appearing on EK's Star Log and other parts of it appearing on my personal Squidoo account. In the 7 years since writing this I've received hundreds of emails regarding it. A common question asked being: "Why do you talk of building a fantasy world if you don't write Fantasy?"

ANSWER: Fantasy with a capital "F" is the name of a type of fiction, in other words Fantasy is a genre. I do not write Fantasy fiction of the Fantasy genre, that is correct. I do however create fantasy realms for my Science Fiction and Horror works. I write Dark Fantasy, which is a sub-genre of Horror and Space Fantasy which is a sub-genre of Science Fiction.

Did you see it? No? Let me point it out: I write about fantasy worls as the exist in Horror and Sci-Fi but I do not write about fantasy world as they exist in Fantasy Fiction.

If it is not real it is fiction, if it exists only in fiction it it fantastical, if it is fantastical it is a fantasy item, because it is not a real item, however being fantastical does not make it part of the Fantasy genre, just as not everything in the Fantasy genre is always fantastical in nature.

The word "fantasy" with a lower case "f" is a word that means "not real" and has nothing to do with the Fantasy genre (capital "F") at all. And therefore when I say "fantasy realm" I mean a world that is NOT the Earth on which you and I live on in the real world, and am in no way, shape, or form referring to the Fantasy genre.

The methods I use to create my fantasy realms can be applied to ANY genre: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Romance, Western, etc.


2013 World-Building Series UPDATE:

Due to issues with content scraping, outright plagiarism, some of my articles appearing on OTHER Squidoo member accounts without my permission, and many of my "Squidoo articles" being stolen off Squidoo and posted without my permission on various  blogs and sites including Wikipedia and Helium; all of my articles are in the process of being removed from Squidoo.

This series of World Building articles in one that has been heavily plagiarized over the years and as of September 2013, it can only OFFICIALLY be found here on EelKat.com - if you find it posted elsewhere, know it was stolen and I am not receiving royalties for it.

2014 Update:

As you know, or not, Squidoo owners Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn stole thousands of Squidoo articles from Squidoo members, and tried to pass them off as their own, resulting in the lawsuit against Squidoo owners for the theft of tens of thousands of articles.

More than 100 of my articles were transferred off my Squidoo account and moved to Bonnie's account,

while my authorship and writing articles, including this world-building series were deleted off my Squidoo account and transferred to Kimberly-Dawn's account!

!!!!!!!

I am shocked and flabbergasted at what these 2 women have done. That they thought they could get away with stealing so many articles from so many authors! Buying Squidoo from Seth Godin, did not give then the rights to our articles and these two horrible women had no right to delete them off of our member accounts and republish them on their own accounts, trying to pass them off as their own.

More then 100 Squidoo authors have gathered together in lawsuit against Squidoo owners, Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn. The result of that is, Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn, to avoid their asses being sued to hell and back, have now transferred the Squidoo lenses back to their original owners and deleted the entire Squidoo website.

Squidoo is officially gone. It exists no more. Squidoo is dead. Most Squidoo writers have opted to move to Hub Pages as HubPages has bought the remaining shambles of what is left of Seth Godin's Squidoo after Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn massaquered it in their article stealing frenzy.

While I do have a HubPages account and my remaining Squidoo Lenses can be found there temporarily, they are being moved here and deleted off HubPages as I move them

April 2017 UPDATE:

As of now, all on my 600+ Squidoo pages are now moved here to EelKat.com and no more are remaining on HubPages.

It's hard to believe, Squidoo has been gone for 4 years now. It was such a big part of my life for a decade.





What Is This Site?

I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life. 

Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).

NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.

ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.

In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters.  I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.

Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.

I DO NOT write Erotica.

I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.

The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agengt Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

The FBI believes the people behind the impersonation accounts showing up, are relatives of the woman who murdered my son.
