Wendy Christine Allen, 2019, able to sit up in a chair for the first time in years, and able to raise up my arm and wiggle fingers. This was when I started playing Witcher 3 on Twitch as part of my physical therapy to regain finger movement. Playing Witcher 3 daily from 2016 to 2019, is how I regained the use of my thumb and two for fingers on my right hand... it is also why I stopped playing Witcher 3 in 2019, once I had strengthen my two forefingers enough to start typing again.

I shouldn't have to say this, but people keep contacting me, so apparently I do:

• No, I do not believe in aliens. Stop contacting me to ask for alien information. If you believe in aliens, I think you are insane, retarded, or both.

• No, my car is not haunted. I've debunked that rumour many times now. . Stop contacting me to ask for haunted car information. If you believe in haunted cars, I think you are insane, retarded, or both.

• No, I am not connected to Stephen King. I didn't even know who he was until you idiots started contacting me asking about him. I had to look him up on Google to find out what you were even talking about! If you have questions about Stephen King, go contact him and ask him. I'm not him. I don't know him. I know nothing about him. I've never read one of his books. I've never seen one of his movies. I can't figure out why you people are even coming to me to ask about him in the first place!

1. If someone told you I believe in aliens, if someone told you my car was haunted, if someone told you I was connected to Stephen King, you NEED to contact the FBI agent in charge of my son's murder investigation and TELL HIM WHO it was who told ou, exactly WHAT it was they said, HOW they contacted you, WHERE they contacted you... because it is a KNOWN FACT that my son's murderer is the one who started all these slanderous alien, haunted car, Stephen King rumours, and the FBI is trying to catch her.

If you have any information about my son’s murderer, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

Do you know who this woman is?

On August 8, 2013 she drove a backhoe over my house. On November 14, 2013 she arrived at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me with a golf club and murdered my son. One June 24, 2016, days after my first attempts to walk again, she attacked me with a shopping cart at Scarborough, Walmart, reinjuring the Nov 14, 2013 injury.

She crippled me when I was 8 months pregnant, a woman with a golf club, severed my spine and bashed my baby's head in, I spent 9 years relearning to walk, and the FBI is 13 years into the murder investigation and not yet id-ed the attacker who crippled me and killed my baby, both violently with a golf club.

Complete details of EVERYTHING she did is on this page here.

The golf club woman who called herself Clair as she looked November 14, 2013. Her hair is a weird chin leangth pageboy (very Medival style cut) platinum blonde with wide brown/black dyed stripes in it (like a reverse of Lily Munster, but the stripes are several, almost like a zebra). I am 5'6" and she was a LOT taller then me, like closer to the height of a man; she had thin lips like a man, and large nose like a man... she COULD have been a man disguised as a woman, given the ease with which she severed my spine....she's is a LOT stronger then is typical for a woman). She was wearing a chambre blue denim "blazer jacket over shirt" and a button up mens shirt (possibly flannel) and blue jeans. The bulk of her yelling was focused on accusing me of being transgender, even while ripping my baby out of my 8 month pregnant belly and bashing his head in with a golf club.

The Claire woman as she looked during her shoping cart attack at Scarborough WalMart June 2016, the attack with left me paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Her hair was dyed dark red, and she drove away in a gold Volvo 240 Station Wagon of a late 1980s/early1990s model, with a "458" on the lisnce plate.... If you have any information about the woman who crippled me with a golf club, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

World Building:

What will a traveler encounter on the roads in your world? 
&
When strangers meet on the road,
why do they walk together? 

I am answering random questions today about world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers. If you wish to comment, you can do so on the Reddit page where a place to do so is provided.

Writing Fantasy Books:
What will a traveler encounter on the roads in your world? 

I once had a reader who emailed me to say/ask:

"So, I'm reading Vampire Leprechaun of Fire Mountain. I'm about 100 pages into the book and nothing has happened yet. When does something happen?"

Uhm... it's a Quaraun novel. They are reading volume 5, they are 100 pages in and nothing has happened yet... gee... sooo... did you notice anything happening in volumes 1 through 4?

Let me repeat... they are waiting for something to happen: IN A QUARAUN NOVEL.

They explained that the characters were just walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...

Can I repeat, that were reading a Quaraun novel, volume 5 of the series, and they waiting for something to happen.

uhm...yeah....that's what the story is about - them lost in a Fairy Forest, wandering aimlessly for miles.

That IS the story.

Quaraun and crew lost in a forest and walking in circles.

Oh wait, what were they reading again?

The Quaraun series.

And what is the Quaraun series about?

A homeless, elderly, suicidal Elf hiking across the planet, trying to find a reason to live, writing in the style of a travel blog.

The Quaraun series is 138 novels, about an old man, doing a bucket list hike around the world before he dies.

"So, I'm reading Vampire Leprechaun of Fire Mountain. I'm about 100 pages into the book and nothing has happened yet. When does something happen?"

Uhm... it's a Quaraun. They are reading volume 5, they are 100 pages in and nothing has happened yet... gee... sooo... did you notice anything happening in volumes 1 through 4?

Let me repeat... they are waiting for something to happen: IN A QUARAUN NOVEL.

They explained that the characters were just walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...

Walking for miles and talking about what he sees, while he walks, is the ONY THING there is in ALL of the Quaraun novels.

That's what the series is about.

What else exactly were you expecting to see happen?

The Quaraun series is about a traveler, trekking the open road, and the encounters he meets along the way.

So we (me and this reader) are messaging back and forth about the issue, me wondering what they were expecting to have happen, them confused about what the book was. Pointing out that this volume is #5 of the series, and supposedly they had read the 4 previous volumes ... though I really don't think they did based on their "When does something happen?" question. :P LOL!

What was the problem?

It turns out, they THOUGHT the series was going to be an action packed adventure of D&D questing type monster battling, monarchy conquering, wizard dueling, swords clashing, dragon slaying, princess rescuing, gold hoarding type stuff.

They thought this because they had read an article stating that the main character was one I had played in my local game group for years and the novels were based off the actual game sessions which I had kept notes of for a few decades.

The problem?

They neglected to read the part of the article which stated the series was "slice of life literary fantasy" and told the story of what happened OUTSIDE OF THE GAME... the stuff NOT battles, and monsters and questing, but rather the journey, the traveling, the random stops at taverns and campsites.

The whole series, all 130+ volumes of it, every single novel, is the every day life of an elderly wandering vagabond wizard as he just travels the open road.

There are no sword fights, no monster battles, no wizard duels, or anything else remotely action packed in any novel of the series.

There is however, LOTS of traveling and sightseeing, to the point that it reads more like travel fiction.

And I'm constantly saying this. It's not like it's ever hidden or should be a surprise that nothing happens other than a tourist Elf is sightseeing while he hikes.

Quaraun is the main character, a wandering "wizard for hire" so, he's in every story.

In a few stories he's travelling alone.

In many stories he's travelling with 1 or the other or both, of 2 fellow travelling wizards. Usually BoomFuzzy and/or GhoulSpawn.

Some times they meet up with an "adventuring group", a band of hippies, another group of travellers, a migrating family, and will then have 4 or 5 or more characters traveling with him.

Sometimes he'll meet up with a merchant or a caravan or a wagon train or a family just off to visit relatives, and will have a large group of a dozen or more people travelling with him.

So you never know from one novel to the next who he's going to have as traveling companions... it's just whoever he meets on the road who is going the same direction as him.

It's a lot of dialogue. A LOT. Conversations between him and the strangers he meets as they talk about life, the universe, and everything, while they walk along.

So... answering your question...

>>What will a traveler encounter on the roads in your world? 

>>Depending on the setting, travel can be a lengthy process and one that is often glossed over without much detail. I'm of the opinion that the journey can be far more interesting than the destination.

>>So picture a random traveler in your world. What will they encounter? Will they have interesting stories, worthy of regaling a crowd in a tavern?

Okay, first a lay out of the continent:

Most of the stories are set in an alternate-Earth-like place, that is mostly Earth, but with changes. with geography that closely matches Quebec, Nova Scotia, Maine, New Hampshire region. Thus summer are cool and short, spring suffers torrential rains, falls has hurricanes, and winters last from October to May with blizzards back to back and snow that reaches 20+ feet deep.

Ivujivik, Quebec, Canada and Old Orchard Beach, Maine, United States of America are the two locations where Quaraun has a home, but he rarely stays at either for more than a few days a year. Most of the year he is walking between the two. He walks from Old Orchard Beach to Ivujivik and than from Ivujivik back to Old Orchard Beach, taking slightly different roughts each trip, so seeing different things than each prior trip.

The total distance one way is: 1,341.65 mi (2,159.18 km), via going straight North, through the forests and mountains.

Getting Old Orchard Beach, Maine, to Ivujivik, Quebec, via the coast line means you have to cross the ENTIRE outer parameter of Newfoundland and Labrador, which is more then double the "as a bird flies North" straight up distance, totaling 5,244.11 mi (8,439.57 km).

To go full circle, from Old Orchard Beach, Maine walking the beaches and shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean and Labrador Sea to Ivujivik, Quebec,  than NOT turning back and going the same rought down, but instead continuing to follow the shore line, now going South down Hudson Bay to Ontario, then going straight down through the tundra, mountains, and forests, till you reach Vermont, than crossing New Hampshire, to return to Old Orchard Beach, Maine is a total distance: 8,622.26 mi (13,876.19 km)

In any case, because getting Old Orchard Beach, Maine, to Ivujivik, Quebec, via the coast line means you have to cross the ENTIRE outer parameter of Newfoundland and Labrador, this also means the Quaraun frequently (in many novels) stops to visit Santy Claws and his Cookie Elves, so that they can also visit BoomFuzzy's cousin Krumpas.

And yeah, and considering I live in Old Orchard Beach, you can now see how very close to the North Pole I actually live, seeing how Santa's Village location is walking distance for me.

It takes the average elderly person 27 minutes to walk 1 mile. So let's round that up to 30. This means it would take 1 hour to walk 2 miles.   That means it takes 4,311 hours to walk the distance Quaraun walks. divided by 24 hours = 180 days on non-stop walking.

Now Quaraun walks with a cane, dragging his leg, meaning he walks half the average speed. Meaning without breaks or sleep, walking 24 hrs straight, would take him 360 days to walk from Old Orchard Beach to Ivujvik back to Old Orchard Beach.

But we know Quaraun is in frail health and tires easily, takes long breaks often, is prone to spend a week resting at an inn in a port town, and in total probably walks less than 5 hours, most days. Meaning a single trip from Old Orchard Beach, Maine, to Ivijivik, Quebec, in the 1400s, takes Quaraun about 5 years to walk.

And all Quaraun does in the entire series is walk from his home in Old Orchard Beach to his home in Ivujvik and back to Old Orchard Beach and back to Ivujivik and back to Old Orchard Beach, over and over and over and over and over again.

Like I said, the Quaraun novels are a lot of walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles... and his journey IS the ENTIRE story... all 138 novels.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, all of readers are NOT going to like the Quaraun series because it does NOT have a plot, it does NOT have a story, it does NOT have beginning/middle/end formatting, it does NOT have action/adventure/fighting/questing going on. The story is LITERALLY and suicidal, depressed elderly man walking aimlessly between his two houses hoping to stumble across something that gives him a reason to want to live.

The story IS the journey.

Nothing happens.

Most readers WILL find it boring.

It's more than 70% dialogue, of conversations he has with either himself or someone he meets on the road.

And as I said, this is not only a real location, it is also where I live and where I walk myself in real life, so here, have some Google maps so you can get a better feel for the location the Quaraun novels are set in and the hiking trails you see Quaraun walking on:

The main character (Quaraun) mostly travels along the coast, rarely going more then 2 miles inland from the ocean. Other Earth-like regions exist (deserts, prairies, jungles, etc, but the main character rarely travels to them.)

• Cities (with 1,000 to 2,000 people) are few and may have 200 miles or more between them. These are often built along rivers and have large mills where many people work at. Cities have stores, shops, and mercantile not found in smaller towns. The Market centers re big a busy. The cities each have multiple taverns, inns, and whorehouses.

• Towns (500+ people) are few but more common than cities and maybe only 100 miles between each one. Towns often have a "market square" where you can find merchants and farmers from nearby towns. There is usually somebody there selling something every day. Most have both a tavern and and inn and many have whorehouses.

• Villages (fewer than 500 people) can be found about every 10 miles. Usually made up of farms, and having large field of crops all around them. On the coasts they are made up largely of fishermen. Villages have a "market day" where local farmers, bakers, fishermen, weavers, etc, set up carts. Some villages may have their own blacksmiths or mills, but many don't and travel to the nearest village that does. They may or may not have a tavern or an inn, but likely will have a whorehouse with it's own pub in it.

• Settlements (fewer then 100 people) pop up here and there, wherever a group set up camp and then decided to stay. Rarely do these have houses. Most families living in their wagons, carts, vardos, tents, yurts, etc., These are like campgroup shanty towns. Places where travelers, homeless, drifters, etc. stop and stay. The populations fluctuates as most people will set up these groups to have a place to settle in during rain or snow seasons when travel is difficult. They are basically stop over points that no one stays at for more then a few months. There may or may not be one or two permanent buildings.

Let's Look at the roads themselves:

• Washed Out Roads & Land Slides" Because it is sandy soil on rocky coastlines, the roads are constantly washing out. Mountain streams turn into small rivers in spring with the snow melting runoff and hurricanes in fall tear up anything spring left behind. Travel thus often involves, hiking off the road and through the forest without any marked trails to guide you, to get around downed trees, gaping road washouts, collapsed bridges, etc.

• The Blizzards of "Deep Winter" (January, February, and March) This time of year, going outside is a death sentence as the temps drop to -40F, wind chill factors drop to -120F during a blizzard (a blizzard is a North Atlantic hurricane with snow instead of rain; the requirement being minimum 3" of snow per hour, minimum 75MPH winds, and a snow fall accumulation of over 3 feet per storm; blizzards are relatively rare in our real world, do far more damage then a hurricane could ever dream of, though people like to call any deep snowfall a blizzard, not really knowing what the actual definition of a blizzard is - true blizzards only occur in the coastal region along Bay of Fundy; which is the location of this fictional world, thus they get hit hard by blizzards).

If you are travelling in Deep Winter, you need to be prepared to set up camp possibly for several weeks. You want to have a lot of food and furs in your pack. Blizzards show up without warning and can bury you in 10 feet of snow per night, and can last several nights in a road.

The Swamp of Death:

The Swamp of Death appears in many novels. It is a reoccurring "magic location" that can appear at will in any region of the world.

The Swamp of Death exists everywhere and no where at the same time.

It is the place where "lost souls" go after death.

Though some characters describe it as being "Hell" and a place to punish the evil after they die, good people can go there just as equally as bad people.

It is the temporary resting place of people who died violent deaths: murder victims, suicide victims, soldiers who died at war, homeless who starved to death alone and forgotten.

Unlike Heaven and Hell which are places to reward good and punish evil, The Swamp of Death is a place where lost souls go to reflect on their life.

Souls in Heaven live with Angels who serve them, while souls in Hell live with Demons who torture them.

But Souls who go to The Swamp of Death become Ghosts and have the ability to haunt the living, mentally tormenting people who hurt them in life, or emotionally comforting loved ones whom are grieving.

Souls in The Swamp of Death are dead people who can not move forward to either Heaven or Hell, because they have some sort of "unfinished business" that needs resolving before they can move on.

In the novel Quaraun and The Vampire Into The Swamp of Death, the entire novel takes place in The Swamp of Death. In that story, Quaraun has taken several poisons and slit his wrists and dies briefly, before his friends revive him. The entire novel is a "near death experience" where Quaraun finally realizes that the people he's traveling with are all ghosts of people he's murdered in his life. It the story where he finally realizes that he murdered his best friend, which he realizes when he sees her in The Swamp of Death taking care of the 4 children he had murdered years before.

The Swamp of Death is a terrifying place. A vast peat bog, surrounded by acres of quicksand. It is always midnight and always shrouded in thick fog. Thousand of tombs and grave stones stick up out of the mud. Many of the Lost Souls try to escape the Swamp, only to be sucked down into the quicksand, and wake up the next day, back in the Mournful Lamb Inn, a tavern that sits in the center of the Swamp serving drinks to the dead.

And while this may sound like a place to visit, it is in fact a thing that travelers can encounter on any road, should they become near death.

The Swamp is guarded by sentient pumpkins, who act as "an army of Grim Rippers" gathering dead souls and taking them to the Swamp.

If it is your time to die, the pumpkins will start showing up along road sides, watching you, waiting for your death to happen.

The Swamp and it's Pumpkin Guards appear in almost every Quaraun novel, though sometimes only very briefly, just seen out of the corner of the eye in a quick sentence or two.

While the Swamp is supposed to only take the souls of murder victims, suicide victims, and people who died traumatic deaths, The Swamp is known to stalk lonely travelers, appearing suddenly along side the road. When the traveller moves to get a closer look at the mysterious Swamp, dozens of ghostly hands grab the travelers legs and pull them into the Swamp, drowning them in the quicksand, thus causing the unsuspecting traveller to befall a traumatic death and become yet another soul trapped in the Swamp.

No one knows exactly what The Swamp of Death is, but, some suspect it to actually be a massively huge Mimic or possibly a gigantic Jelly capable of tricking people into thinking it is a swamp, when in fact it is a monster.

In any case The Swamp of Death is many thousands of years old and no one can remember a time when it did not exist and roam the Earth feeding on lost souls.

The Pissed Off Pumpkin Patch: Common but rarely seen. Grinning, glowing Jack-o-Lantern pumpkins that tumble and roll across the ground, sometimes sprouting bodies and limbs made of vines and leaves, sometimes seen in the form of "living scarecrows", and other times robed in black. People often describe them as being The Grim Reaper, but no one knows for certain what exactly they are. Sometimes they appear as a long pumpkin sitting on a porch, other times they gather in huge hordes and sit in a field covering massive acres pretending to be a pumpkin patch. Where they are, The Swamp of Death follows, and presumably, they are part of the Swamp's body and not separate limbs. The Pissed Off Pumpkin Patch is known to stalk lone travellers, terrorizing them, and chasing them off cliffs or into quicksand.  

The pumpkins are rarely seen by their victims, for the moment you turn to look at them, they instant freeze, and look like ordinary jack-o-lanterns, scarecrows, or pumpkin patches.

The pumpkins appear in almost every Quaraun story, as they follow Quaraun wherever he goes and he is constantly telling people there are pumpkins chasing him, but almost no one believes him and thinks his tales of being chased into swamps by pumpkins are the raving delusions of a madman.

Because Quaraun is a murderer. the ghosts of his murder victims are trapped him the Swamp of Death, and scream for vengeance, thus causing the pumpkins who guard the swamp to constantly chase Quaraun, trying to force him into the Swamp of Death and drown him.

There are frequent scenes of pumpkin vines grabbing Quaraun's arms and legs and dragging him through the forest into the Swamp of Death.

Quaraun, however is a Necromancer with power over the dead and continually escapes the attacks buy the pumpkins and the lost souls of his murder victims.

>>>What will a traveler encounter on the roads in your world?

• Other travellers: Unless you are traveling deep in the heart of Faerie regions (vast forests with 100+miles between each house), the roads are not as lonely as they seem. There are always other people, mostly Humans, to be encountered on the way. Trade between populations is always happening, so you'll often meet merchants or peddlers. Farmers are always heading to nearby villages to trade their crops for supplies. Same goes for craftsmen and fishermen. People travel to mills to get grain ground to flour. People travel to towns and cities to buy items they can't buy in their own town.

"A day's journey" is considered to 8 to 12 miles, so usually you can walk from one village to the next and always have a tavern/inn/etc to sleep in at night. Because of the relative closeness of settled populations, people are constantly going back and forth between towns/villages to visit relatives or make trades.

At harvest season (August, September, and October) the roads are especially busy with farmers with their mule trains, horse drawn wagons, and ox carts off to make trades.

You'll meet merchants and peddlers all year.

In "Deep Winter" (January, February, and March) most of the roads are closed (because trucks with plows will not be invented for another few hundred years!). This time of year, going outside is a death sentence as the temps drop to -40F, wind chill factors drop to -120F during a blizzard. Travel is dangerous and not recommended during Deep winter.

• Highwaymen and bandits: A common problem, especially on the outskirts of cities and larger sized towns. They are always on the look out for lone travellers, especial ones that look wealthy or appear to be carrying a valuable wagon load. These men are dangerous cutthroats, often rapists, and usually won't think twice about murdering you for a small bag of coins. They tend to set up small camps on the outskirts of cities, then wait along roadsides to ambush anyone they think is easy pickings.

Because the bandit problem is so bad in certain areas, there are some roads that no one dares travel on alone, and will only travel in a large group of others. In these regions you also rarely see female or children travelers, as most men do not feel it is safe for their families to travel in these regions.

• Faeries - Phookas: Common. Shapeshifters. Deadly. Eat anything that moves. Known for their psychotic blood frenzies. Can appear as anything, any animal, and person, even your best friend. Usually appear as a small injured Shetland Pony limping along the side of the road. When you try to help them, they turn into fire breathing black unicorns, stab you to death with it's horn, eat your entrails, dance in your blood, then wear your skull on their horn like a crown. Usually live in swamps and marshes along the coast. See here for full details: https://www.eelkat.com/Phookas.html

• Faeries - Little Old Men: Leprechauns Uncommon. Tricksters. Usually harmless. Tiny old men, usually around 4 feet tall, centuries old, they delight in tormenting travellers. Rarely do they intend to hurt anyone, but pushing you off a cliff for a good laugh is certainly something they would do. They like to turn acorns into "gold" then send travellers on wild goose chases in search of pots of gold that are nothing more than rusty buckets of acorns.

• Faeries - Little Old Men: FarDarrigs Uncommon. Tricksters. Deadly. A type of Undead Leprechaun, similar to a vampire, they have insatiable blood lusts. Noted for wearing patchwork leather coats made out of the skins of their (mostly Human) victims. After each new kill, they sew your face to heir coat and then dye their coat red using your blood.

• Faeries - Little Old Men: Clurichauns Uncommon. Tricksters. Usually harmless. A type of Leprechaun, they are not obsessed with gold and instead are obsessed with drinking. They are noted for setting up illusionary taverns in the middle of no where. Lonely and seeking a drinking companion, they like to lure travellers to their drunken doom. Once a traveller goes inside to get a drink, they may be trapped there for centuries, before the Clurichaun let's them leave,

• Faeries - Little Old Men: Red Caps Uncommon. Tricksters. Deadly. A type of Feral Leprechauns. Vicious serial killing, Human eating, mad men who will tear you to shreds, wear you head for a hat, and paint their bodies with your blood.

• Faeries - Little Old Women: The Banshee Sisters: Bean-Nighe and Ben-Neeyah Rare. Tricksters. Deadly. Two old women who died in child birth and now haunt swamps and mountain streams, washing the blood stained clothes of murder victims. Usually can only be seen by someone who murdered a child. They haunt the nightmares of the child's murderer, often driving him to suicide. You can read one of Quaraun's encounters with them here: https://www.eelkat.com/bean-nighe-and-ben-neeyah-in-the-swamp-of-death.html he and his companions had stopped for the night to sleep in an old abandoned church in the woods across the road from a swamp.

• Faeries - Little Old Women: Aswangs Uncommon. Shapeshifters. Deadly. The main source of their diet is newborn infants, though they will eat any Human, Elf, or Faerie that they can get. They prefer to fins a larger sized village, kill the mid-wife, take her form, then prey on the pregnant women who come looking for midwife services.

Magical Creatures I Created Specifically For Quaraun's World:

• Flying Pink Goldfish: Very rare.  Initially thought to be figments of GhoulSpawn's wild imagination, other characters start to see them as well. It is unknown the origins of the flying pink goldfish, all that is known is that they showed up one day after Quaraun miss cast a spell. It is believed the fish originated from another galaxy and Quaraun's spell teleported them through a portal to here. The fish swim through clouds in the are and have no need to live underwater like normal fish. They hunt in packs and eat in blood frenzies like piranhas. Considered one of the most dangerous creatures you could encounter. They attack in swarms and leave travellers reduced to bloody piles of bones.

• Katopas: Gazelle-like creatures, striped like zebras, except blue and white stripes. Once roaming in millions across the plains, they are now extinct after Quaraun and BoomFuzzy encountered the herd fleeing from a massive wild fire. Quaraun successfully stopped the fire and rescued the Katopas. Unfortunately after Quaraun left, unknown to Quaraun, a side effect was that somehow all the Katopas died and turned into undead zombie like creatures that now gallop through the skies at night. Villages in the way of the herd of undead Katopas are left in trampled runs.

Magical Creatures From FolkLore That I Use In Quaraun's World:

• Hell Hounds: Vicious black dogs with glowing red eyes. Sometimes they are fire breathing. Sometimes their fur has flames leaping from it. Basically a pack of huge supernatural wolves. They are not common, but cross roads from time to time and are known to attack anyone that crosses their path.

• Dragons: A wide variety a lizards, varying from small as Chihuahuas to as big as small mountains. Always have 4 legs, often but not always have wings, some can fly, others can swim. Very rare and even more rarely seen. They come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. Some have magic powers, others do not. Some breath fire/lava/magma, others breath frost/ice/snow. Most like to collect shinny objects, so they often have a "dragon's hoard" but it may not be worth anything, it could be just a nest full of spoons. 


• Small dragons are sometimes kept as pets like cats or dogs. 


• Medium sized ones are sometimes kept as beasts of burden for riding or pulling wagons or pulling plows in fields, like horses or oxen or cows.


• Large sized ones are rarely kept as pets or livestock, but some people have been known to tame an occasional large dragon for reasons of their own.


• Dragons have the same intellect as dogs and horses; very intelligent for animals


• Dragons are not shapeshifters or capable of speech, but some people think they might be, could be.

• Quaraun killed a Black Mountain Dragon which lived in the caves under the volcano. He killed it because it had attacked him, but afterwards felt guilty and resurrected it as a Lich. Quaraun made a green glass heart shaped Genie-bottle and shrunk the entire mountain, dragon, dragon's hoard and all, and put it in the bottle. He keeps the DracoLich in his pocket and named her PocketLich. He has since tamed her and she now fiercely protects and defends him. Uncorked out of her bottle and restored to full size, PocketLich's snout is taller than Quaraun who stands at 5 foot 6 inches tall.

Undead:

• Vampires: Rare, but have been encountered often enough that few travellers dare be on the road at night. these are classic, old school, undead, blood sucking Nosferatu-type corpses that rise from the grave at night. Only out at night or on cloudy days.

• Shambling Dead: Rare. Usually means there is a Borka, Houngan, or Necromancer in the area. These are zombies, undead corpses that were animated by magic. Usually harmless, because they are being controlled by powerful spells. They are a terrifying sight (and smell) to encounter, as their corpses are rotting and pieces dropping off. They retain feelings of hunger and can be trained (like a dog) by giving the meat treats when they obey commands correctly. While they do not have the sharp intellect of a living being, they do retain some limited levels of intelligence, emotions, and feelings. Like dogs, they become deeply loyal to their masters and will do anything they are trained to do on command.

Strong poisons are used to reanimate these corpses. Being bitten by one, infects the person bitten. The poison slowly kils them. They eventually become a Shambling Dead. Usually a Feral Undead.

• Nzambie: Rare. A type of Shambling Dead. They are servants of a magic user, controled by psychic spells. Some Borka, Houngan, or Necromancers make Nzambies to do heavy labour such as harvesting crops, building houses, etc. These magic users often travel with caravans of these minions. Typically harmless, they can become deadly in seconds if the Necromancer feels you are a threat and tells them to attack you. Like piranhas they will reduce you to bones in seconds. Rarely seen outside of the farms they work.

• Feral Undead: Rare. A type of Shambling Dead whom have no master controlling them. Dangerous. The classic brain eating "Walking Dead" style zombie. They'll eat any flesh they encounter. They are basically running wild in packs/hoards. Usually these packs of Feral Undead occurred when the wizard controlling them dies and there is no one left to tell them what to do. Some Feral Undead are people who were bitten and turned and thus have no master controlling them. Because they roam aimlessly, they may be encountered any place, any time of day.

• Liches also known as The Wild Hunt: Rare, but more common than other types of undead. The wraith-like remains of Elf and Faerie wizards who commit suicide in an attempt to become immortal. They are now frozen skeletons made of glowing ice. They use illusions to pretend to be any living person or animal and often live alongside the living, in regular houses. A Lich may live in a town for decades with no one being aware the person is really and undead monster. Liches must feed on the living to survive, otherwise they go mad from starvation and become mindless monsters.

• DracoLiches: Undead dragons who have become Liches

Let's shift a bit to another similar question:

The power went out while I was typing the answer this. It was out for 5 days. The answer did not save while typing, so I'll have to retype it again later.

The retyped answer:

>>>Strangers meet on the road, why do they walk together? 

In the Quaraun series? There are so many reasons.

The most common reason is an injury. Quaraun is very shy and tends to stop and look for an alternate rought if he sees others on the road ahead. However, if it appears the person ahead is injured, sick, or otherwise in trouble, Quaraun is quick to offer help. On the flip side, Quaraun is elderly, frail, and in poor health, and often gets hurt or injured, and ends up in need of help himself.

Something in common. For example, Quaraun is a merchant of rare Thullid Silk which he weaves, beads, embroiders, and sews into robes, dresses, cloaks, purses, and bags, and Quaraun is quick to open a conversation with other merchants, which often leads to them traveling together. As there are many dangers on the road, merchants are often quick to travel together in large groups of several merchants, just because of the concept of safety in numbers.

Another example is Quaraun is a wizard, and is quick to hob nob with other wizards. Magic is heavily regulated in Quaraun's world, requiring permits, license, certification, authorization, and involves lots of bureaucratic red tape, and approval through The Guild of Magic.

Quaraun doesn't have any of the required paperwork. Additionally, Quaraun has murdered several members of the Guild including The Guild's founder Finderu. Getting certification is incredibly difficult and very few wizard's meet The Guild's guidelines. Guild members set up shops in large cities, work as court mages, and are generally stationary, never moving locations, never traveling.

A wizard travelling on the road, is usually also a wizard on the run from The Guild. Travelling wizards have a tendency to band together. Wizards as a general rule have learned to travel in packs in order to protect each other from being hunted by The Guild.

Food. People need to eat. Quaraun is not a good cook. He can cook to get by, but he grew up in a royal family and he would prefer to have fine dinning meal of a professional chef. While BoomFuzzy is a chef, BoomFuzzy is a chocolatier and pastry chef, not a chef devoted to cooking meals. In a quasi-Medieval setting, in the cold backwoods of Maine and Quebec, fine dining is hard to find, and Quaraun is quick to ask strangers if they can recommend places to find it. This often leads to him traveling with the stranger to that location.

Asking directions. While Quaraun is well traveled, he's not good at paying attention to his surroundings and so easily gets lost even in places he knows well. This leads to him frequently stopping to ask directions and often ends up traveling with the person.

And back to things a traveler meets on the road...

(If it has no link yet, it's because it's still under 2,000 words so I've not set it to live yet. Google requires an article to be 2,000 words long before they will index it)...

...and I would like to answer these questions/prompts, for EACH aspect.

For example, answer Day 1 on the plant page, answering the question focused on the plants of the region, than answer Day 1 focused on the population, than answer Day 1 focused on fantasy creatures, and so on and so forth, etc.

As such these prompts will appear on each page of the series, but my answers on each page will be different.

And as there are 70+ pages that I'm putting this on (linked above) that means I will have to answer EACH of the 3 questions for each of the 31 Days + the 9 Bonus days 70+ times answering each differently. 

The challenge is actual 40 days, because it's 31 days + 9 bonus days. And each day has 3 questions. Meaning there are 120 questions total. 

40 x 70 = 2,800 days x 3 = 8,400 questions total.

40 x 70 = 2,800 days \ 365 = 7+ years to complete this task, if I did only 1 per day, the way the challenge says to do.

Sooooo...

Today is May 15, 2021.

This means it could take me up to 2028 or more to complete this challenge.

Well, let's get started then and see how long it takes me to complete this. Tjis is definitly going to be a long term work-in-progress.

---

If you would like to do this challenge on your own website or blog, head to the Reddit page for the prompt, under the post, click the "SHARE" button, click the "EMBED" button, the follow the instructions on Reddit's popup to create the type of code your website uses, than click "COPY" and paste the code Reddit gives you into the HTML box of your webpage/blog. Than type your answer under it.

---

If you would like to post your answer publicly or see the publicly posted answers of others, click on the links to head to Reddit and see the full prompt page of each prompt, submit your own answer on the thread, or read the answers of others.

Most of these prompts had 20 to 50 submissions, some have 100 to 200 or more, so there is quite a lot of answers on each if you are looking for a lot of worldbuilding Fantasy reading to do.

For each prompt, I've included 1 to 4 example submissions from others, also via Reddit's embed codes. If you enjoy a writer's sample, be sure to click on their username link, and check out ALL of their submissions on Reddit.

I've tried to choose examples only from writers whom have large samples of their work published online. Many of them have their own websites where they feature their work, most are published or working towards publication, while others are DnD Dungeon Masters who build vast worlds for their campaigns and post them on persona DnD blogs. 

They are all amazing writers, so be sure to check out their Reddit profiles for lists of links to their websites, blogs, WattPad/Deviant Art free-to-read-online accounts, SmashWords/Amazon profiles, web serials, etc. 

Many of them are self-published via Kindle, so if you like their work, be sure to support them by buying their Kindle and/or Kindle Paperback editions.

---

So, I was over on Reddit, you like I often am, and found this question. And answered it, like I do. However, the answer I initially gave was a simple generic answer. If you want to read my original answer unaltered, simply click on Reddit's embed feature links which Reddit provides for webmasters to be able to post their answers on their websites, while linking back to the original thread on Reddit (if you didn't know Reddit offered and encouraged the use of this feature, look for it in the "share" features underneath every post, comment, and reply on Reddit).

I am answering random questions today about world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers. If you wish to comment, you can do so on the Reddit page where a place to do so is provided.

In any case, as with all of my Reddit answers found on my site here, my original post on Reddit is much shorter then the article here.

Getting To Know Your World & It's People Using
31 Days of Worldbuilding Challenge!
Day 1 of 31:
Famous Townsperson(Local), River Basin(Region), Disputed Territory(World)

Edit: Day 2 is This way!

Well, technically 31+ days of worldbuilding prompts. The goal is to follow along each day and make at least one thing for your world based on one of the categories: Local Area, Regional Area, or Worldwide. That way, you can focus on what you need most for your world even if you don't have much time each day to work on stuff!

For my submissions, I'm going to try and do all three each day, but barring that, I'm going to focus on the local area category for the Region of El in my Nomads of Sky Setting, since I've got a campaign coming up there.

Famous Townsperson: Terrance Mortighast - A well known bounty hunter, but his age is starting to get to him. Not only has he been letting more and more bounties pass him by, but rumor has it that he doesn't even chase his quarry beyond of the Free Cities anymore.

River Basin: Wisp Willow Falls - This once-pristine feature has seen a lot of development over the years due to how readily Wisp Willow, A plant that normally only grows around the very edge of an island, grows there. The area now hails as one of El's primary Aerillium producers.

Disputed Territory: Fermia Archipelago - Known primarily for it's Red Metal Mines, the remoteness of this island chain means that it generally gets claimed by whichever country happens to be passing closest to it at the time. It is one of the few lands to travel near enough to the Maelstrom to be dangerous, though, which gives the island chain a brief period of respite every few years. An ironic sort of peace, really.

Figured I'd post a bit early so that people have time to get those creative juices flowing before the day of, and because some were waiting to do a couple of days together in order to catch up.

If none of these prompts work for you today, Don't forget that there's a few extra prompts at the bottom of the 31 Days of Worldbuilding List

I'll post my own takes once it's actually the 2nd of May in my Timezone.

A Form of Contraband

Dreams are a commodity in many of the markets of my world. A bottled creature that will give you a pleasant night's sleep and a dream created by design. However the quality that these dreams have means they are also surprisingly expensive and addictive. Many people who run out of dreams seek out cheaper alternatives. Since the dreammarket is highly regulated these are not always entirely legal, let alone safe to use. They may incude nightmares or worse, create a permanent comatose state.

25 Blank Space Prompts for Cultures!

Here are twenty-five blank space prompts that you can use with just about any of your fictional cultures, factions or civilizations. You don't need to complete all of them, and I don't have any intended level of detail, length or seriousness to them.

I've tried to avoid making any particular references to any genre - but some of these may not apply to your setting. (For example, if your species doesn't eat food, then the food one is pretty irrelevant and you can skip it.)

If you want, you can only answer a couple and go for very silly and short completions, or you can go all out on each of them and use them as mini-prompts to include quite a hefty amount of serious lore and worldbuilding into them.

Regardless of how you use them, I hope you find them entertaining, useful or even inspiring, and I can't wait to see what you guys answer with! I'm hoping to see some absolutely crazy ones. I'll answer with one of my own cultures in the comments, as well, in case you need an example!

1. We are ________.
2. Welcome to ________, where we ________!
3. The most important things in our culture are ________, ________ and finally, ________.
4. Our most cherished traditions are ________, ________ and ________.
5. We believe wholeheartedly in ________, but think that ________ is foolish.
6. Our rivals have insulted us by ________, now it is time to ________!
7. Our actions are justified by ________, of course.
8. Upon meeting new cultures, we like to ________.
9. Among us, outsiders are ________.
10. Our civilization's crowning achievement is ________.
11. We don't talk about ________, do not ask us about it.
12. Our leaders are ________ and ________.
13. In the presence of one's ________, one must ________.
14. ________ is the best food there is!
15. Yes, we ________, why do you ask?
16. The best thing in life is ________.
17. Only thing worse than ________ is ________.
18. Where there's ________, there's always ________.
19. Many ________, but few ________.
20. ________, like ________ always used to ________.
21. Always ________.
22. Never ________.
23. Remember ________!
24. Respect the ________!
25. In our language, we don't say "I love you," we say ________, which means ________, and I think that's beautiful. (Bonus: ________ - Real Translation)

As promised, here's an example using one of my own species from a sci-fi setting, the Keyterics! They're a little silly by design, given they're sort of a bunch of monkeys harnessing nuclear and tesla technology, getting drunk and doing neocolonialism.

1. We are the Keyterics.
2. Welcome to Keytero Vec, where we have a nuclear meltdown every week!
3. The most important things in our culture are being friendly and gregarious, getting those gains, and finally, rampant alcoholism.
4. Our most cherished traditions are wrestling socially, drinking together, and blowing things up.
5. We believe wholeheartedly in sharing technology with less advanced civilizations, but think that not bringing them under our political influence and neocolonial empire in exchange for said technology is foolish.
6. Our rivals have insulted us by calling us monkeys, now it is time to scream like monkeys!
7. Our actions are justified by the free market, of course.
8. Upon meeting new cultures, we like to shout and scream with enthusiasm and then invite them for a pint.
9. Among us, outsiders are welcome, let's have a drink! Come to Keytero Vec! You are going to Keytero Vec! \picks you up by force**
10. Our civilization's crowning achievement is splitting the atom.
11. We don't talk about how we've allegedly destroyed the native environments of several pristine alien planets, do not ask us about it.
12. Our leaders are corrupt and we like to watch them sword fight in the parliament.
13. In the presence of one's friends, one must shout as loud as possible to express joy and love.
14. Irradiated coyote cheese is the best food there is!
15. Yes, we eat uranium, why do you ask?
16. The best thing in life is booze, but food comes a close second.
17. Only thing worse than alcohol withdrawal is the taste of an orange or a lemon.
18. Where there's a Keyteric, there's always alcohol.
19. Many talk about helping pre-Space Age alien civilizations, but few are willing to arm them with automatic weapons and bring them into space.
20. Petrol moonshine, like granpa always used to make in his improvized brewery.
21. Always help the less fortunate.
22. Never do anything for free.
23. Remember to have a glass of alcohol with every meal!
24. Respect the man who brought the drinks to the party!
25. In our language, we don't say "I love you," we say "Drok khayi trak udzhyum, byu?" which means "You know I couldn't live without you, right?" and I think that's beautiful. (Real Translation: Something along the lines of "We'll bang, okay?")

America somehow now exists in your world. How does it react? What does your society think of it?

America somehow now exists in your world. How does it react? What does your society think of it?

Being very arguably the world's most powerful nation, it's no surprise that the rest of the world's countries have a lot of very, very, VERY diverse opinions on America. If the United States suddenly existed in your world somehow, what would its people / nations think of it?

• Would they try to invade?
• Would they think Americans are heretics? An inferior race?
• Would they submit to America's cultural exports and influence? Would they enjoy Coca-Cola?
• How would they react to America's foreign policies and history of militarism and imperialism?
• Would Americans be welcome in their nation?
• How would your world react to America's technology?

What is a tree in your world that is magical, medicinal, or symbolic?

I like trees. A lot. Many trees are significant in our own cultures for reasons sacred, symbolic, or practical. I'm curious to know what important trees you all have for your worlds.

In New Haven, my own world, Magnolias are so infused with Earthly magic, that cutting one down can summon cursed storms that flatten entire townships.

Are there any oddball/eccentric characters in your world? And if yes what about them is so odd.

Are there any oddball/eccentric characters in your world? And if yes what about them is so odd.

Example from one of my world's: the earl is a old man living alone in a castle in the north lands. There he collects unfinished pieces of art be they painting, pieces of music, literary works, statues or the like as long as they are unfinished he will collect them. He treats the pieces of art like abandoned or orphaned children, telling them that they are perfect the way they are and that he loves them no matter what.

Please Note: The Quaraun Series Is SplatterPunk Horror Gorn Rated M18+ for extreme graphic violence, grizzly depictions of suicide, and you must be 18 or older to buy it if you live in America, Japan, Australia, Germany, or any other country with government laws regulating explicit media

Why is the Quaraun Series Rated M18+?

I repeat, there is a MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING for the Quaraun series, as it is 200+ volumes, 8 million+ words of steady, endless, non-stop suicide, suicide references, depression, and suicidal characters attempting suicide in nearly every chapter of every volume!

Don't be fooled by the pink covers. The Quaraun series has won awards for being among the darkest novels ever published.

It's one of the few series so dark, so disturbing, so gory, so bloody, and so focused on putting suicide in your face that on January 6, 2016 the American government has issued a court order declaring I was required to put M18+ book rating on the cover.

If you have any questions regarding this court order issued by the Old Orchard Beach, Maine Town Hall, an division of the American Government,  which violates the first amendment, where we are clearly told the government can not censor freedom of speech, please head to the State of Maine, Biddeford District Court and ask for copies of

Docket #BDDC-PA-2015-00574 and CV-15-58/CV-15-59

the Alfred Superior Court Docket #CV-15-299

and the Portland Superior Law Court Docket #YOR-15-253

Additionally, you can find more information by going to the Old Orchard Beach Police Department and requesting copies of ALL police reports made in regards to 144, 146, and 146a Portland Avenue, from 2001 to 2016 (approximately 300 reports).

Note: there are likely spelling errors on this site, and I am unlikely to see the ... I fix them when I find them, but, there are many issues here...

Note: English is not my first language, Shetlean Scottish is my native language, there are likly spelling and grammar errors, as I do not know American English and am attempting to write it by sounding words out.

Many times that Americans think a word on my site is misspelled, often it is not misspelled, it is just I mixed up languages and wrote it in Scottish without realizing I mixed the Scottish in with the English. Also our grammar is somewhat reversed from English grammar so words that are seeming in the wrong order for American English, is usually because they are in the correct order for Scottish and I either put English words in Scottish order by mistake or was unaware English put them in a different order then Scottish does.

More information about our language can be found on this website:  https://www.iheardee.com  which is written in my native language.

However, there is also other reasons why words might be misspelled, or why I might not understand someone when they speak to me.

My grandmother Helen Ricker Allen, was from Unst, Shetland, Scotland, and she the one who raised me. She taught me to read and write, but it was Shetlain that she taught me. She died when I was 8 years old, and I was locked in a woodshed after her furneral, I escaped the woodshed 27 years later at age 31, and have been trying to learn how to speak and write English since then.

It is a very great struggle.

At age 37 I took remidial reading and speaking classes at Southern Maine Community College, but we are Gypsies and Gypsy men do not allow us Gypsy women to have education, and so, while at college, on November 14, 2013, I was beaten with a golf club, while I was 8 months pregnet, breaking my spine, hips, and knees, killing my baby and leaving me quardepaleic since.

Now my primary focus these past 13 years has been on relearning to use my hand so I could type... as of 2023, I have regained the use of my right thumb, and first two right fingers, and after 10 years offline, I am back online due to I can use three finguers.

I never went to school, so I do not know maths and numbers and sciences, and I do not know what else would have been taught to me in school. We are Scottish Gypsies and Gypsy culture does not allow females to go to school. Being born female was already a great sin, but my grandmother took great risk in teaching me reading and writing. At 4 years old I was punished by my Uncle Bruce for knowing how to read, by being beaten in the face with a cinder block brick, that broke my right jaw and left me with garbaled near-mute spoken words ever since.

Because no one ever spoke words to be face to face from he time I was 8 years old until I was 37 years old (I escaped the room at age 27, but did not start college until 37), I have no training in how to vocally sound out or speak the words I write or read. I can read words, but I do not know how to sound out or say those words. I can write words, but I do not know how to match the written word against the spoken word. I struggle to associate spoken words at all, or make them match up with writen words.

Esentially, written words and spoken words are two completly seperate languages in my brain, and I have difficulty understanding spoken words.

If you say a sentance to me with your mouth, chances are very high I will have ZERO understanding of what you said and I will not be able to ander you.

However, if you WRITE down that exact same sentabnce, I can understand you and can type a written responce to you.

My doctors tell me this is a side effect of extreme isolation and neglect and lack of human contact during my toddler, childhood, teen, and young adult years, and that my brain never deveoloped to comprehend spoken vocal words due to no one ever speaking to me in over three decades of the first half of my life.

While I can read and write, American English (somewhat) I do no know how words are sounded out, what they are supposed to sound like. I readand write by shape recognition, not by sound/vocal recognition, so when reading and writing I do no "hear the words in my head" as I am told most people do when they read and write. In other words... I see "c a t" and think "c-a-t" I do not think "cat" nor do I "see" an image of a cat, no do I "hear" the word cat spoken. I'm told that this is very rare and that most people read and write by sounding out the words and linking them to visual mind images, while hearing the sound of the word in their head. I neiher hear words in my head no see images of things in my head. I'm told this is what makes me both a speed reader and speed writer, because I'm not tripped up by hear sounds or seeing images in my head like nomal people would be doing... however, I'm also told this is why my spelling and grammar are very poor, because my brain is not hear the sounds of the words or seeing visual images of the objects the words represent, so my mind also does not register spelling and grammer errors at all.

As I was only let out of the woodshed on Sundays to go to the Cape Elezabeth Ward Church of the August Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I was never allowed to go to school or hospital either. No adults ever talked to me because I was evil for comitted the sin of being born female, so I never learned how to speak properly and do not know how to sound out words to say them.

I was 42 years old, in 2016 when, while having an MRI for my spine, the doctors found out my speak issue was caused by a broken jaw as a toddler that was healed wrong because not being allowed to go to doctors. I had surgury to fix that, and since 2016 have been trying to learn how to use my jaw and touge so I can speak vocal words now.

Since 2023 my primary focus shifted to relearning to walk. I can now, in 2026, sit up for 2 or 3 hours a day, and can sand with a cane for a few minutes, and can walk for around five thousand feet in 2 to 3 segments a day, with the help of pushing my wheelchair like a walker.

As of 2026, with a slight return to using my fingers and legs, I am once again focused on trying to learn the American English, but I live in mortal fear of my uncles and male cousins, as they are so hateful of allowing me to have education.

have no one to help me to know if I am doing words correctly, and as such, I have no way of knowing if there are spelling and grammar errors, but I asume there are, and I fix them when I learn them, but I do not know what I do not know and spelling American words is a thing I do bnot know.

I have Low Fucntioning Kanner's Syndrom, also known as "RainMan Type of Autism" aka REAL and ACTUAL Autism, not to be confused with Aspergers, High Functioning Autism, or and of thr 861 illnesses on the Autism Spectrum. An Autism Spectrum Disorder is an illness that has symptoms similar to Autism but IS NOT Autism. If you have an Autism Spectrum Disorder, it LITERALLY MEANS you do NOT have Autism.

I am medically diagnosed as "kanner's syndrome, actual autism, the rainman type, profoundly retarded autistic savant, with a general IQ of 73, and an writing IQ of 221" but they added that they did not know how to properly diagnose me as I am "technically a feral child" and they don't know "how much is the autism, and how much is simple horrific levels of abuse and neglect induced post traumatic stress disorder that will go away with proper socilization".

It means I know how to write, I can write a lot, and it is next to impossible for you to teach me how to do literally anythig else because my brain only knows how to write and doesn;t know how to do anything else..
There's a reason, when I do book signings, people are quick to say: "Okay, what's the joke? why is this stupid retard here? where's the real author? I know this retard isn't the author. where are you hiding the author, why is this fucking retard here"

The end result is, I have near zero social interaction... my 3 years in college was the ONLY face to face interaction I have ever had with humans in my entire life, and I struggle deeply to understand MOST words used by MOST people when they ask me question. And so I suffer from a huge lack of understanding many words people say to me, how to translate those words into spelling, and how to translate what it is that has been said.

The fact remains hat until there exists a human on this planet who is willing to sit down and teach me what words spoken line up with and match what words written, this deficent is unlily to improve. But the fact also remains, that I am simply far too profoundly retarded for anyone to even try to make any attempt at all even to speak a friendly "hgelloe" or "good morning" when passing me on the street, so I have lost all hope of anyone ever either being my friend, being willing to teach me how to match spoken words to written words, or how to speak to other humans.

While there are around 20k pages on this website, most of them are blocked from search engines, with only around 800 of them available for appearing in Google/Bing/etc search results. The remainder can only be accessed via the various links found throughout this site. This was done deliberately on my part, and I did it because the bulk of the pages on this website are chapters from 138 novels and 423 novellas, so only the first page of each novel and novella indexed by search engines, and the remainder are linked in order, one page at a time, via clicking "next page" at the end of each. So if you are looking for a specific page from a specific novel, Google can't help you.

@eelkat i just found out there is yet another bizarre rumour going around. where are these wild rumours coming from? who is starting them? and why? ♬ original sound - Wendy C Allen | 📚 Author

@eelkat since I've been flooded with hundreds of messages the past two weeks asking if I still own "the world's most haunted car", yes, and here it is, filmed today May 18, 2026… but my son Xavier is dead, i am crippled and given that people are AGAIN showing up calling my Dodge "haunted", calling my friend "an alien", calling me "transgender", and spreading wild defamation slander connecting me to Stephen King, I think I need to start taking down the contact information of every blogger, podcaster, youtuber, and social media account spreading these rumors, and sue every single one of them for CAUSING my car to be cut in half May 10, 2010, for CAUSING the backhoe that drove over my house August 8, 2013, for CAUSING my son's murder November 14, 2013, for CAUSING me to be crippled and in a wheelchair November 14, 2013, and for CONTINUING to CAUSE harassers to show up in person to harass me near daily, STILL now in 2026. EVERYONE telling you my car is haunted, telling you my friend is an alien, calling my car "the goldeneagle", calling my friend "Etiole", or trying to connect me or my car to Stephen King, is lying to you. They crippled me when I was 8 months pregnant, and a woman with a golf club, severed my spine and bashed my baby's head in, I spent 9 years relearning to walk, and the FBI is 13 years into the murder investigation and not yet identified the attacker who crippled me and killed my baby, both violently with a golf club and the FBI believes that it is friends and family of the woman who did it, are the ones who started and spread the rumors saying my car is haunted, saying I'm an alien abductee, saying all kinds of similar bs about aliens, ufos, ghosts, witchcraft, demons, and Stephen King connections, even though I don't believe in ghosts, aliens, ufos, demons, and had never heard of Stephen King before 30k of his fans showed up in my yard trying to find my car! FBI believes the backhoe driver and the murderer are the same person and it is a developer who wanted my land and so started the Stephen King, ghost, and alien rumors all in an attempt to drive me off my land, and when it didn't work they drove a backhoe over my house, and when that didn't work they crippled me and killed my son. Why are they doing this? How do I get them to stop? ♬ original sound - Wendy C Allen | 📚 Author

Do you know who drove this backhoe over my house at 146 Portland Avenue, Old Orchard Beach, Maine on August 8, 2013? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son on November 14, 2013 at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me July 26, 2016 at scarborough WalMart,... they arrived the first time with a backhoe on August 8, 2013, that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since....

... which means it is now only a few weeks from the 14th anniversary of my son's murder. I was 8 month pregnant November 14, 2013, and a student ay SMCC, and coming out of the Buglight Lighthouse art studio after art class, when a still unidentifiedwoman wielding a golf club attacked me, severed my spine, while I was 8 months pregnant, triggered early labour, then killed my son minutes after he was born.

While accusing me of being transgender, screaming "transvestite freak" and "look at that thing, that's Ken's son in a dress"... while I was 8 months pregnant.

I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since.

The backhoe driver returned November 14, 2013, armed with a golf club, used it to break my spine and smash my baby's brains out on the ground

On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.

She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.

The attack also triggered labour.

My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.

Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.

The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.

The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.

Thus we come to 2014, and the full swing change of the series I write. WHY my series, went from just a transman main character living life, to the full blown Mpreg genre series that it now is today.

Before the attack, I had a chance of having a baby. I don't know. And because I'm in America, I'm too old to adopt. You have to be under 45 years old to adopt a baby. That is the law in America. I was informed this, when we tried to adopt, now that my injuries leave me unable to get pregnant a 9th time.

Thus began my obsessively writing, my transman main character, pregnant. Always pregnant now. Every time. Every story. Stories that now fully focus on pregnancy, labour, miscarriages, babies dying, babies living, raising babies... the whole series, since 2014 has devolved into an outright baby obsession.

Meanwhile, reborn baby dolls were suggested to me by my therapist, and have also become a deeply obsessive part of my life. Because 13 years ago my son was murdered minutes after he was born, because a transphobic bigot mistook me for being transgender, I'm STILL in a wheelchair, struggling to relearn to use my arms and legs, now 13 years later, and I'm still DAILY dealing with police officers and FBI agents who while they are trying to find my son's killer, they are also daily reminding me... oh, yeah, my son was murdered, literally ripped out of my belly, by a transphobe. Who still has not been located and walks free to kill again.

If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

The 2nd woman as she looked at both attacks, her hair goes all the way down to her knees. She is about 20 to 30 years older then me and would be around 75 to 85 years old now in 2026. If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer's accomplice, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

Do you know who these two woman who crippled me and murdered my baby, at Southern Maine Community College at 10PM on November 14, 2013, are, and what their connection to the backhoe that drove over my house is? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

I am a legally blind quadriplegic, and low verbal, I have also published 138 novels in the last 48 years. It's not as impossible as people think. The problem being blind and quadriplegic, medically have different meanings then how those two words are used medically.

Fewer than 3% of all blind people see nothing. While 97% people who are classified as fully blind are able to see up to two feet in front of them. Legally blind means I can see more then two feet in front of me but not far enough to see twenty feet in front of me. In my case I can see about eight feet.

Quadriplegic, has varying levels, it means having a damaged nerve bundle in the spinal column causing limited mobility of all 4 limbs, (in my case this was done by a women wielding a golf club, who also beat my 8 month infant's head to pulp on the parking lot tarmak, at the same time she severed my spine with the same golf club; both on November 14, 2013; the FBI investigation into my son's murder and my being crippled has gone on now for 13 years, a few weeks away from 14 years now, and the FBI has still not identified the killer or her motive). Contrary to popular misconception, quadriplegic does NOT mean ZERO movement, it means means limited movement, specifically in means unable to lift arms over head, unable to grip fingers around objects to pick them up, and unable to stand for more then 5 minutes to a time. Because there are so many thousands of nerves in each limb it is actually very rare for there to be 100% no movement, but how much, and to what extent varies by patent depending upon the specific point of injury to the spinal column.

Meaning typing is still possible for over 60% of all quadriplegics.

In my case, it was the lower spine that was severed, cutting off completly my ability to move my right leg, leaving limited feeling in my left leg, and an ability to stand but not walk, with crutches, for the first 9 years. I regained enough nerve growth in my legs by the 9th year to be able to take ten or twelve steps allowing me to get out of bed for the first time since the golf club attack; This in turn lead to me being able to start using a wheelchair, as I was able to sit upright for the first time as well.

Because the shattered vertebrae bone fragments are broken off completly and embedded into the nerve bundle just above my tailbone, doctors were saying I would never walk again, but now at 13 years, I am able to push mu wheelchair like a walker, a distance of almost a thousand steps a day. Though doctors are still doubtful I will ever walk "normally" again, I have proven them wrong, when their said 13 years ago, that I would never walk again at all.

But because of the placement of the damage to my spine, regaining hand use, was always thought possible, it was just a matter of waiting long enough for nerve regrowth, along side daily finger exercises. I was able to continue writing, after becoming quadriplegic, because I still have use of my right thumb, and 2 fore figures of my right hand. And can type 90 words per minute with those 3 fingers.

I however have no wrist strength, elbow strength, or shoulder strength, so I am not able to form a fist, or lift objects, or brush my hair, or my teeth, all thing I have to have my caretaker do. But, those things are not needed for typing. Unfortunately, my pinky and ring fingers are "nerve dead" and drag over the keyboard, and cause horrific spelling errors and typos, which are incredibly frustrating to deal with.

Unfortunately trying to edit errors myself, just makes the errors worse, because those same two fingers drag over the keyboard yet again. Prior to the golf club attack, I rarely had spelling errors; now I got more spelling errors then someone is learning English as second language. Editing is a challenge, that I've had to accept, I simply can not do myself, and I have to hire several editors to help with that.

Low verbal means sounds can still be made, sounds that software programs like Dragon can be trained to recognize and translate, and type into full words. More then half my novels were typed with this method.

I still have a long ways to go before I am anything close to being able to do the things I could do before the golf club woman beat my baby's brains out and shattered my spine. And you know what's more frustrating then how slow mu medical progression has been? The fact that it's been 13 years and the police and FBI are still coming up at dead ends as to who the woman who murdered my baby was, or why she even did it.

My son's 14th birthday is only a few weeks away, but he didn't even get to live long enough to celebrate his 1st birthday, I don't even know why. And I can't wait to regain my ability to walk again, because regaining my ability to walk, means gaining the ability to go outside and start looking for my son's murderer myself instead of sitting at home trapped in a wheelchair waiting for the police and FBI to to find her. So, writing isn't a big priority for me anymore. I only write now, as a way to exercise my hands, in between relearning to walk.

Never let a disability stop you. Plenty of writers, artists, athletes, do not let either blindness, speech impediments, or limited mobility hold then back from perusing their careers.

Do you know who these two woman who crippled me and murdered my baby, at Southern Maine Community College at 10PM on November 14, 2013, are, and what their connection to the backhoe that drove over my house is? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

My response to Coast to Coast AMs Arrival in my yard? Back to the Home Page Wendy Christine Allen, Old Orchard Beach's Autistic Author, Artist, Illustrator, & Art Car Designer Counting Down to the 2028 50th Anniversary of my first published book (September 23, 1978) Yes, I am aware there are a lot of spelling errors on this site. No, I likely will not be fixing most of them. I have been quadriplegia/paralyzed arms and legs since November 14, 2013; As of 2026, I have regained use of two fully functional fingers on my right hand, and only stiff limited movement of all remained eight fingers. This causes most of the typos and spelling errors as my near-dead pinky and ring fingers tend to drag over the other letters on the keyboard. Attempts to correct errors, often causes more errors for the same reason. Much of my writing is also speech to text, but I have "profound low functioning, non-verbal kanner's syndrome aka autism aka the rainman type" (that is what the medical diagnosis called it), I have the medically diagnosed retarded type of autism, that medical doctors mean when they say "real and actual autism", I do not have the cool trend self diagnoses tiktok type of "autism". What this means is, in spite of five decades of trying, I have very limited vocal speaking abilities and a lower then average vocabulary, that leaves my speaking ability around the level of a 4 or 5 year old child; I do not know math or money or clocks and. I also, was raised by a Shetland Scottish Grandmother (Helen Ricker Allen) until her death when I was 8 years old, and she did not speak American, she spoke Shetland/Scottish, Shetlandic, which is a Nordic language, different from Scotts Language, not related to Gaelic which is what many Scottish speak, and while classified as a type of Scottish English is is considered "Olde medieval Norse" dialect of Scottish English and spoken by fewer then two thousand people as of 2026. It is the language of Scottish Travelling Gypsies, which is what we racial are. I was 31 years old first time I ever heard American English, and only started to learn American English at 42 years old. Right now in 2026 at 51 years old, I am able to speak American English on around the level of an 8 year old child, and greatly do not understand over 90% of American words, American slang, and American media references. What this means is, OFTEN words you think are spellt wrong (like color vs colour, or traveling vs travelling, are in fact NOT spelt wrong, because I use Scottish spellings) and often when I hear an American word, I spell it phonetically because I do not know the correct American spelling. Likewise we Scottish do not have words like my or your, and so say me and you, in places where Americans would say my and your.  I also use Scottish word meanings, not American word meanings, for example Unicorn means a blood thirsty flesheating shapeshifting sea creature that comes on land and pretends to be a wounded horse to lure in humans to eat, it can only be captured by a virgin. But when I say Unicorn, a word I frequently use, because I write Unicorn folkloric short stories... I find that most Americans connect Unicorns to children's cartoons, gay pride, or swinging sex lives... I struggle to understand who in their right mind thought the most bloodthirsty monster of Scotland folklore was good fodder for children's cartoons or "sex positive" mascots, me thinks Americans need to brush up on the lore of Unicorns using their horns as sword to stabbed people's eyes out, while gallopping through swamps with rows of bloody Human heads hanging from their backs via braids made of Human entrails... really, why did Americans thinks a monster like a Unicorn was fit for children's cartoons or sex positivity? Americans is weird. All this to say... speech to text software, struggles badly with my thick Shetland accent, my slurred Autism speech impediment, and causes additional misspellings and typos because it can not figure out what words I am trying to say. And while I could take the time time to run all of it through a spell checker, that does require better hand mobility then I have, to copy the text from one program to the next and manually click each word, with finger mobility that I simply do not have, but also, most of my time is spent in trying to relearn to walk, and if you are local, you've probably seen this as I'm a stubborn bitch who refused to accept the doctor disnosis that I will never walk again, so, I walk around the block every day pushing my wheelchair, refusing to sit in my wheelchair, and... ...it's taking me 13 years to do it, but, I'm not actually able to stand up and make it all the way around the block now, and my focus on trying to relearn to walk is far more important to me, then catering to your pampered arse by fixing spelling errors, when there are far bigger problems to worry about in life, the spelling errors made by a quadriplegic who is typing this with her only two functioning fingers. Also, in recent years, I've watched the internet devolve into a mindless clusterfuck of ChatGPT written everything. Everyone sounds the same online these days, because no writes their own work anymore. Every website out there has become a carbon copy of each other, because they are all be written by ChatGPT now. I think ChatGPT makes a funny thing to chat with in your spare time, so you can laugh at the hilarity of how inaccurate it's responses are... but I am horrified that people are using AI for serious writing, writing they publish and try to pass off as their own. We live in a society where people people are forgetting how write. Heck I can read and write cursive, calligraphy, italic, short hand, and editor's marks, also edit my books by hand diagraming every sentence, and that... start walking around your neighbourhood and ask anyone under 30 if they sentence diagraming IS, let alone how to do it. So yes, I CAN spell check, and no I don't, for anything but my novels and short story collections, I spell check when it matters... and this is a website, not a printed book... but also, I am just getting so damn fucking fed up with endless AI writing online, so, no, I'm not going to fix errors and typos on my website, and you can bitch about that all you want (yes, I do get your messages, I just don't answer anyone in private) but, honey, maybe instead of bitching over my spelling errors, be thankful is still at least one website on the internet that still being written by a Human now in 2026 when ChatGPT writes over 70% of all posts online.

If anyone contacts you saying 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, is for sale, know that they are lying to you... it is my land, and it has been in my family since 1531... and the ONLY person whom has EVER gone around saying it is for sale, is a woman who the FBI believes to be the same woman who murdered my son.

My son is buried here, and the FBI believes she is trying to buy my land in order to destroy his grave and destroy evidence of his murder.

Since my son's murder November 14, 2013, every year dozens of real estate agent show up all with a story of a female developer who is offering them MILLIONS of dollars for my lot of land that is only 1/4 of an acre and is not big enough to develop.

When shown police sketches of my son's murderer, the real estate agents say "Yes, that's the woman who hired me to buy 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine", but then the woman disappears and the real estate agents never hear from her again... all contact information she gave them turns out to be fake.

The woman who murdered my son, is DESPERATELY trying to buy 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine... this is the woman to watch out for... and this is what she did:

Looking to find out more about my son's murder, that information is on these pages:

• How did the FBI get involved?

• Never Forget my son was murdered

• Do you know who this woman is? And no 146 Portland Ave is not for sale.

• Thoughts on Reborn Therapy Dolls After My Son's Murder

Answering the questions:
Can you give me links to the news reports of your son's murder? 
and
Why can't I find any news reports about this?

Maine has well over a thousand murder cases that have never been in the news.

I found this out after my son was murdered November 2013, and a year later I found out it had never been in the news, even though I was hounded for weeks by news people. I went to each of the over a dozen TV stations and newspapers whom had showed up at the hospital and asked why they had never published any report after all the trouble they had gone through to (in some cases illegally) het into the hospital to interview me.

in every case they said some version of "well, it just wasn't news worthy, there was nothing we could use to get views". Really? These were big news stations, channel 13, 6, 8, Portland Press Herald, Bangor Daily...

What exactly was it they claimed was "not news worthy"?

I'll tell you.

On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. At Southern Maine Community College in the parking lot of The Buglight Art Studio beside the Spring Point Lighthouse.

I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.

She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.

The attack also triggered labour.

My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.

Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.

The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.

The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.

Oh yeah, and I've been quadriplegic for 13 years.

oh yeah one more thing, same trio, they also found out where i lived in Old Orchard Beach and drove a backhoe over my house as well.

146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach, Maine... July 4, 2013 vs August 8, 2013

I have been homeless and quadriplegic for 13 years, and right now it's just a few weeks away from both my son's 14th birthday and the 14th anniversary of the day he was murdered, both of which happened the same day.

Explain to me what about any of that is "not newsworthy"?

I did find out WHY it was deemed not newsworthy. "it would negatively impact tourism" was their reason. The College at Fort Prebble is a tourist destination. The lighthouse at the college is a tourist destination. My house on Portland ave is situated on the primary road to the beach that is a tourist destination.

The news reporters explained to me that, they risked losing their jobs if they publicised "negative news" occurring in these sorts of tourist destination spots.

My son's murder wasn't in the news, because it might cause tourists to stop visiting that lighthouse. That was the reason the reporters gave me.

How often are there things not being reported on just so businesses don't lose tourist money?

How often does this happen? A lot, I've since found out. In trying to find other mothers of murdered children to interact with... I found five others JUST in Old Orchard Beach, whom the murders were not in the news, and all of them happened after my son's murder. I found 2 such mothers in Scarbourogh, their children's murders not in the news. I found over a dozen more in the Bar Harbore area, also all not in the news.

It's a very disturbing trend here in Maine, one that I never would have found out about had my own son not been murdered.

One thing's very clear: in Maine you can get away with murdering a child, if you do it in a big tourist location, because news stations REFUSE to report any crime occurring in tourist locations.

Fuck torists.

I don't give a shit about your precious tourist money.

My son was murdered and I want his killer found... and I am VERY displeased with the deplorable way news stations try to bury child murders in Maine, just to appease tourist funded businesses.
