It's nice to have an outlet that you can lose yourself in. To relax etc. Usually it's listening to or playing music for me (banjo, mando, guitar). Reading or watercolors. A favorite movie or hiking. I think it's unhealthy when it gets in the way of relationships and work though.

Honestly, my "fantasy realm" has been a constant thing, but also inconstant. It builds on itself and rebuilds itself as I have new experiences and viewpoints, so it's become a reflection of myself, but also an outlet for half-formed ideas.

What this means, essentially, is that the characters all act like a different part of myself, but exist alongside Deities, governments, and people groups as I experimented with writing them.

>> No.6762280

This is pretty much exactly my situation except the setting is different. It's a slightly fantasy world (Think low-fantasy set in Soviet Russia with an ancestor-worship monarchy) and follows two characters from adolescence to old age and irrelevance.

>> No.6762353

Yeah. Mine's about living in a totalitarianistic necropolis. The king is a ghost who has long exceeded his term limit. It doesn't matter though because everyone knows he doesn't hold the real power. You see the king is kept alive by striking a deal with the demon Malegon who leads the church of Malegon (a cult of religious zealots).

The aristocracy are all vampires so blood is a valuable and sold commodity.

Humans are around middle class. They are super protected though because humans are an incredible resource. (blood for vampires, bodies for necromancers, souls for Malegon)

There's a lowerclass made of necomancers (also called blackbloods) who can raise the dead. Since their blood is black vampires can't drink it and they are looked down upon. Plus the necromancers sometimes bring vampires back. No one wants to see their favorite uncle used as a tool. Necromancers typically do dirty jobs like cleaning sewers or construction (with the help of their undead servants of course!).

Let's see what else... Gargoyles are the strong protectors of the city. They keep the degenerates from exploiting the humans. They are silent sentinels.

Autist reporting in.

An old manor built atop a hill in a summery northern Italian setting, far away from any infrastructure. A path curves down the hill, through the manors unkempt garden to the nearby lake, and a range of mountains cover the horizon. On the inside, the house is not at all neglected. In each room there is old fashioned and rather luxurious furniture, and despite the ground floor windows giving out into the garden and the lake, the whole interior is quite dim, yet welcoming warm and comfy. It's where satan, in the figure of a high profile business woman, temporarily lives and for the time being imprisons her maid.

I hope you can deal in German:

Wenn ich an die Glocke denke, baut sich vor meinem Auge das Haus auf, an dem sie befestigt ist. Es ist nämlich keine große Glocke, etwa für Kirchen (die in dieser Welt eh nicht vorkommen), sondern eine Glocke zum Klingeln, eine Glocke, mit der um Einlass gebeten werden kann, eine Glocke, welche die eigene Ankunft ankündigt. Sie misst im Durchmesser etwa eine Handspanne, und ist auch etwa eine Handspanne hoch. Sie hängt etwas über Kopfhöhe, ein Erwachsener könnte sie erreichen, befestigt an zwei eisernen Nägeln, welche in die Ziegel des Mauerwerks eingeschlagen sind. Sie sind geschwärzt, aber schon etwas flugrostig, im Gegensatz zur Glocke. Das Kupferstück verlor im Lauf der Zeit den Glanz, er wich einer ehrlichen braunen Tönung, braun wie trockenes Fichtenholz im roten Licht einer Ofenglut. Von der Aufhängung läuft eine Eisenstange herab, halb so dick wie ein kleiner Finger, durch das Auge eines dritten Nagels auf Handhöhe. Wird an dem Stängel stark genug gezogen, schwingt die Glocke in ihrem Lager und sendet ihren Gruß an die Bewohner des Hauses - ein Haus, welches schon seit etwa 200 Jahren an dieser Stelle steht, gemauert aus Ziegeln und gefasst von einem kleinem struppigen Garten mit Kürbissen und einem Kirschbaum. Der Haushut ist auch aus Ziegeln und windet sich langsam zu einer Spitze empor - das Haus ist weder ganz rund, noch ganz eckig. Über zwei Stufen geht es zur Eingangstür. Sie ist hölzern und der Sturz aus schwarzem Fels, dessen Herkunft niemand so genau kennt. Links von ihr die Glocke und zwei kleine Fenster mit Butzenscheiben, wie Schießscharten so klein. Das Moos und der Efeu teilen sich die Wand ringsherum wie Brüder. Wenn man um das Haus herumgeht, findet man vier weitere Fenster und eine Ecke im Garten, voll mit Moder. Bei genauer Betrachtung fällt auf, dass kein Stein dem andern in Form oder Farbe gleicht.

I imagine this alternate reality centered around a young girl who, immodest as she is, frolics around naked and experiences little flack for it. She eventually forms a troupe of sorts with other neighborhood girls who hang out with her, and together they take a boat to the high seas, completely careless and not caring where they are going; pure adventure.

They end up on an island that is being developed into a resort, and the people who currently reside there are taken aback by these girls who run around naked without a care or shame. The main girl soon has an effect on all, and instead of setting up the resort, the people on the island come to live a much simpler life as naturists, centering their attention around the main girl, who I call the Unbridled Girl. They see her practically as royalty, practically a god. Eventually outsiders come to the island and a division of ideologies causes much conflict, and battle eventually breaks out, the island turning into a quasi-medieval-fantasy setting.

It's not really about dreaming, it's about creativity. Making fantasy worlds is just a way of being creative. I used to do it was well. For whatever reason, as time went by I became more interested in the real world, probably because I started realizing that reality is stranger, and often more interesting, than fiction. With my creative focus now shifted to more real matters, which I find more rewarding and interesting, I simply have no need for making fantasy worlds. I imagine the shift in focus may also have been largely due to that I stopped being as affected by "bad" things in the real world. I had a lot of stress when I built fantasy worlds, it was a way of stimulating myself creatively without being put down or saddened by the outside world. I would like to emphasize that building fantasy worlds did not make me unable to deal with more real matters, rather it was a result of my inability to do so, which was a result of other things. If anything, building fantasy worlds helped me, because without such an opportunity to explore myself, the world, ideas, my problems etc. I would've had a much harder time developing to the point where I no longer needed to seclude myself from real life matters.

I'm the like the Emperor in 40k in mine, ruling a space empire and fighting against aliens and separatist scum while building infrastructure and working to make my citizens happy.

This morning in the shower I was thinking about how my party came to power. What I was thinking was humanity had an old space empire before we made first contact, but after we did there were competing groups of aliens vying for galactic control and the first group started sending in "advisors" and gradually started exerting more and more pressure on Earth and many citizens and government officials collaborated. But there were splinter groups who preached that humans should make their own destiny in space and not be subservient to aliens. Anyway this group decided that human planets were better for their own living space and there was buzz of this and the splinter group that I was a member of urged everyone to go to underground bunkers because of the incoming genocide.

More than half of humanity was wiped out in the first wave of attacks and in the resulting power vacuum is when the human separatist groups began gaining power and coalescing into one faction. This new federation of humans started becoming more centralized and started rebuilding Earth and her colonies in a new image along with massive kinetic guns, so when the second extermination fleet came by, what was supposed to be a rag tag group of surviving savages turned their fleet into Swiss cheese.

Now the tables are turning and humans are leading a campaign mostly based on revenge but also to free other aliens who were enslaved by this collective and let them find their own destiny.

nice description, I wrote something similar in style (but about an entirely different topic) some years ago, see below. I also wrote a fantasy fiction, loosely based on the Elder Scrolls, though without explicit references. However that story is also in German and far too long to post here.

Gegenüber sitzt eine ältere Dame, sie holt etwas Gebäck hervor. Dunkelbraun und vom Zucker glitzernd, scheint es duch das gedämpfte Licht. Eine etwas unregelmäßige, matte Zuckerschicht, mit Tropfen und Vorwölbungen, intakten sowie zerplatzen Bläschen scheint gerade eben noch über das Süße geflossen zu sein.
Die Dame bricht ein Stück ab.
Kleine Bröckchen sind nicht ganz gleichmäßig im Inneren verteilt, sie werden für den Essenden nicht unerwartet sein. Erst auf den zweiten Blick fällt die ungewöhlich dicke Zuckerschicht auf, von außen nicht sichtbar. Scheinbar wurde das Stück doppelt übergossen, ungewöhnlich.
Die Dame beißt ab.
Ihr faltiges Gesicht verbirgt nichts, jedes bisschen erfreut sie in höchstem Maße. Zufrieden legt sie den Rest in ihre Tasche zurück, sorgfältig eingepackt. Langsam und träge erhebt sie sich, verlässt den Ort. Der Kaffee wird kalt.

I dream of having the comfortable house that is ample, filled with sunlight and has a constant influx of friends.

After a political putch, the city became more and more stranded, becoming a ghatsly, desert place where only the Cannibal dwelves, cleaning what was once a noble place from the bodies of the once-wealthy aristocrats.

It's interesting to see people in this thread opening up about the private worlds they would have both younger and currently, and then compare it to the commonality of /lit/ discourse revolving around being above reading fiction and mocking those who enjoy entertainment in any form.

Does /lit/ suffer from cognitive dissonance or is this thread just full of a niche of people on this board who don't really post outside of the scifi/fantasy general?

I just think the posters are a really broad bunch.
I enjoy escapism to an extent, but I must also concede that it is mostly of lower quality than "high brow" literature

Just taking a short break from angry elitism and shitposting for some real human bean talk.

m8, 4chan is banter general.

People just like to talk shit.
(Genre) fiction produces shit like Harry Potter and it's easy to make fun of that and assume some kind of elitist attitude.
This becomes board culture, where such a response is then almost summoned by reflex.

I'm pretty sure we have a fiction general on this board, fiction is discussed plenty of times.
/lit/ is also not one person.

I wouldn't take things too seriously on a German Pessimism bulletin board.

Yes, I frequently fantasise about a communist revolution where I get to kill members of the bourgeoisie ,as a general of the communist militia.

I kept my fantasy internal fantasy world going for about a decade and I think it is in marketable shape by now.

Soon I shall rise to be hailed as modern G. R. R. Martin.

Yeah, and it's not even my world. It's from a show with colorful equines.
I'm stuck in it constantly and it's done a lot of damage. I've been trying to move away recently.
