just a random question
I know that people do open species, I was wondering if I could do that but for an entire world? because I realize that I'd have much more fun worldbuilding than writing, and I'd like to share my work with people because I'm really proud of it.

He's on fire! Metaphorically and literally
Nice to know what the alphabet is actually used for!
NATO Standard Phonetic Alphabet,
The phonetic alphabet was developed as a way to spell things out over radio communications that may be less then ideal, I.E. a lot of static or weak signal. All the words were chosen because they have a distinct sound that is easy to pick out. Military and police communications use the phonetic alphabet heavily and can be helpful to know for talking over CB’s or FRS (walky talky) radios.
Mmm, mapmaking
Welp, I feel dumb
I just realized that I have been completely messing up the tag system. I posted my writeblr introduction and somehow didn't think to tag writeblr or to put writing in the first five tags. And everything else is a jumble.
I suppose what I'm saying is if you would be interested in a fantasy story inspired by the ancient near east, with monsters, giants, magic, pirates, kings, battles, bratty children, sapphic romamce, pirate throuple romance, and trauma, check out my blog, and my WIP Testaments of the Green Sea.
In the meantime here are some maps, starting with the world of Kobani, then the region of the Green Sea, and last the lands of Kishetal. Because, because why not.
If you add in time travel it will really come full circle
An adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in a world in which the fictional character/literary juggernaut Sherlock Holmes, and all the subsequent adaptations thereof, still exist.
Sherlock Holmes (pronounced Holl-mess, as he is constantly reminding people) just had the misfortune of having parents who really liked the books, and his attitude towards his fictional counterpart is pretty much the same as that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sherlock runs a Youtube Theory channel called Mysteries Unwrapped with Sherlock Holmes. He has received no less than seven cease and desist letters from the Conan Doyle estate, all of which he has so faded managed to rebuff by pointing out that that's literally his name.
(No he won't change his name. He's Sherlock Holmes the real live human person. Let Sherlock Holmes the non existent fictional character change his name.)
John is Sherlock's flatmate. Sherlock almost refused to live with him once he realised that it would mean staying with a medical student named John, and only gave in once John pointed out that: a) he's a biomedical student, which is completely different from an md, and b) his surname isn't Watson.
It's now been three years, which is long enough for them to have developed a genuine friendship, and for John to have a) started working towards his PhD in biotechnology, and b) for him to start dating somebody with the surname Watson.
Sherlock can feel the narrative closing in.
His Youtube channel is meant to be focused on lost media, fan theories and stuff like that, but he keeps accidentally stumbling upon and then solving genuine crimes.
His brother Mycroft may or may not have chosen that name after he transitions specifically to annoy him.
He doesn't even live in London, but somehow the only flat they could afford was on a street named fucking Baker Street.
Sherlock Holmes and the Unescapable Power of the Narrative.
