FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?

Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.

Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.

Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.

This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.

And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

{{{HUGS}}} Thank you to all my readers for making this possible!

EelKat's Guide to
World Building For Fiction Writers -
What is your world like?

What is your world like?

Think of your setting, your city, your planet, your realm as though it was a character in your story. Why? Because like any other character in your book, your world is going to effect your main character and his story.

Like a villain, your world could through a hurricane at your main character and delay his journey, causing him to miss a very important meeting. Or like a great god, the hurricane could send the villains ship out to sea, buying the hero his much needed spare time to escape. When creating your fantasy world, think of it as though it was one of your main characters. Think of all the ways it could affect your characters, both the good ways and the bad ways, and how it will affect both heroes and villains.

The questions in this section could apply to your entire planet, or just one city... your world, your choice.

• Does it look like earth, with mixed realms, deserts, swamps, forests, fields, jungles, seasons, warm, cold, everything all mixed together on one planet? 
• Or is it nothing like earth at all? 
• Is is barren rock like Mars?

• Is it a single environment realm: 
• ice realm, 
• fire realm, 
• swamp world, 
• sandy wasteland, 
• other?

What type of people live there?  Do they resemble humans?  Alien insects? Reptilian?  Green skinned humanoids?  Faeries?

• What type of animal life is in your world? 
• Mammals? 
• Birds? 
• Insects? 
• Fish? 
• Reptiles? 
• A little of each? 
• A lot of one and none of the others?

• What kind of plant life is there in your world? 
• Lots of lush greenery? 
• Are plants rare? 
• Plentiful? 
• Fruit bearing? 
• Thorny? 
• Pretty but deadly? 
• Edible? 
• Poisonous? 
• Are plants "alive" and eat people?

Is there much water in your world?  Large oceans or only small streams in a sandy wasteland?

• Are there many forests or is the woodland quickly disappearing? 
• Or is it a place where trees could never grow at all?

• What season is it during the time of your story? 
• Or, let's expand this: 
• What seasons does your realm have in it? 
• Are they Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter? 
• Time of Rain and Time of Harvest? 
• Always summer? 
• Always winter?

• What type of weather does your land have? 
• Lots of snow? 
• Raining fire? 
• Long stretches of dry weather? 
• How do weather patterns affect your characters? 
• Does acid rain keep them hidden in caves for weeks at a time?

Don't forget history.  What was the geographic past like?  How did it affect the present?  What does the future hold?  Did giant glaciers create canyons?  Do volcanoes create islands?  When?  How?  Where?

• What kind of architecture is there? 
• This includes such things as streets, houses, home decor, landscape gardening, etc. 
• Don't forget that each city/town/village is going to have different styles, tastes, and culture too.

If you ever made fun of or had any part in the destruction of my farm, and the illegal selling of half of my land to Colliard, you shall lose your land.

If you ever made fun of or had any part in my being homeless since 2006 - YES, I AM still homeless in 2023, you shall become homeless.

If you ever made fun of or had any part in the backhoe driving over my house, you shall lose your house.

If you ever made fun of or had any part in my car being cut in half, you shall lose your car.

If you ever made fun of or had any part in my becoming crippled, you shall lose your health.

If you ever made fun of or had any part in the murder of my son, your child shall die an equally horrible death. If you haven't got a child to lose, it will be a brother or sister or parents or spouse or whomever you love the most, and that you should know it was this curse which you brought upon yourself that killed them, they will die on exactly the 7 year anniversary of the very first time, you mocked the death of my child.

Evil men go out of their way to try to drive a person to suicide.

Are you an evil man?

Are you sure you're not?

How many people have YOUR hate filled words killed?

Next time you go to do a mean thing to a fellow human, stop and really think about the consequences of your actions.

Did you ever notice how every one has a story to tell about me, yet not one of them ever speaks the truth?

What lies has YOUR gossiping tongue spread about me?

Did you know...

October 16, 2006, bomb blew up my house because of YOUR lies.

August 8, 2013, the house which replaced the one the bomb blew up, was driven over by a backhoe.

November 14, 2013, my 8 month old infant son was murdered because of your lies.

November 14, 2013, I was beaten up, paralized for 5 months, spent 18 weeks relearning to walk, I'm now crippled for the rest of my life, because of YOUR lies.

Are you proud of what you have done?

Enjoy your eternity in Hell. You earned it. You've certainly worked hard for it.

The End?

No, you have NOT reached the end of this article! What you have reached is the end of what it currently online. The rest is coming, hopefully it'll be on here in a day or three so keep checking back. I will remove this message at the same time I put the rest of it online.

As my long time readers will already know a server crash took down most of the old free-hosted site on June 4, 2013 (which was online since 1997 and had reached 6,000+ pages). Thankfully everything was saved on a separate hard-drive and the site is being rebuilt with a new host and for the first time on it's own domain. YAY!

I am currently moving all 6,000 questions&answer articles to this site one page at a time, at a rate of about 4 to 7 new pages being added each day, so be patient. Not all links are yet clickable. This process started on September 2, 2013 and will be ongoing at least through to January 2014. (And it may be well into 2017 before all 6,000 pages will be back online if I continue at this rate of 5 a day.)
