Basic information

Hey,
Here are some very basic things about the first book's story.
You can ask here questions too and eventually I will update the
list.
[B]Main Storyline[/B]
[list]
[*]26 chapters
[*]11 main characters
[*]The story is about one extremely colorful and rich adventure
from Umnia to Balgaron
[*]The story is very dynamic; things will quickly move forward
and there's no a single point where the story stuck to a place
[*]The story is 3 years before TCO, but the second book
continues from the story of TCO(the first book is like introduce
to readers what's the world about)
[*]Characters that can be seen here from TCO are: Phodom, Fradz,
Galeoth, Xirenze, Zeemnan, Tharo, Xanopin, Alfred, king of
Balgaron and some kazas near the Dragon Inn
[*]In these nations the charcaters will travel: Umnia(northern
kingdom), underground where popags live, Gadezka(an empire other
side of the sea to Balgaron), Saoloth and Balgaron
[*]A lot of background story is also told but yet again
dynamically. For example how different nations work, like
Balgaron being a regular kingdom, Eredoom being a democracy,
Eredezka an empire, Saoloth somewhat a communist nation and
popags nations being beyond communism where even children does
not have parents
[/list]
[B]Other information[/B]
[list]
[*]The book will be written in Finnish but all the names are
international. After it is released I will try my best to
quickly find a way someone to translate it to English. I was
originally writing it with English but my skills aren't good
enough.
[*]The book uses three type of story telling which makes the
story very interesting. Mostly the book is written with 'passive
omniscient third-person', but also some scenes are written with
'first-person' view in both 'present' or 'past tense'(depends of
the scene).
[/list]

And here I was thinking Aero didn't like many women in his
stories ::).
Firstly, will it have a MAIN main character? Sounds weird, but
I'm talking about the one considered the most important
character(or...most of the times at least) for anyone that reads
it, a.k.a the protagonist.
Secondly, If the above is answered as "yes", that gifted guy
with a weird name that you was making, will he be the
protagonist? If no, will he be in this book or in future ones
that you are planning?

And here I was hoping that Fradz and Galeoth (or just Fradz at
the very least) wouldn't appear in the book.

Why :P? Besides, it's not like they'll be that important.

Oh but I like women! I've made the women very interesting. They
are not really boobs and asses if you think. I've created for
them their own unique personalities and they're also very
important part of the whole story line.
Yes, of course there will be main character as well as
antagonist. Gheiz is the name, that young boy who miraculously
won the tournament against all the odds. Or perhaps there were
something else that helped him?
But of course I had to put Fradz there. He'll help at one point
but Galeoth... Well he's actually doing the opposite, but for a
reason. I love guys who are funny yet mysterious. Fradz however
is a bit too over the top.

What-
No, I mean that bag of *twisted stuff*. Hmmh. Quite awky isn't
it? Perhaps it's better that you don't remember it after all (or
keep pretending you don't, whichever way it is).

Will the book be written in a lame "modern", movie-like style
with 27 short chapters and narration jumping between main plot
and some secondary events, that are supposed to be somehow
"vital" to the story, or maybe in a more classic, epic style,
with 27 long chapters, solid storyline and the narration
fluently passing from one important event to another, without
artificially prolonging the book, with the reason being the
inability of the author to focus on a main storyline without
making the book ridiculously short?
I hate modern fantasy books. Sometimes the events around the
main character are really interesting, but the author usually
forces the reader to go through dozens of boring side stories
concerning way to many other characters. And so I read this one,
quite interesting, but 10 page short chapter about the main
character, but then I have to jump to the other side of the
world like three times and read about three other characters who
for some reason don't have any contact with eachother. If I'm
supposed to wonder what is happening to the friends of the main
character, while he is hidden in some forrest learning some
awesome magic from the elves, why not let me wonder? Instead,
the author shows me everything every ten pages. If a main
character worries about his friends he hasn't seen for months -
good, but why do I have to know what they are doing, while he
doesn't? You know what is the most interesting part of any book?
That you don't know everything. The story of the main character
may be like 20% of everything that is going on during the book,
but why take all the suspense and show the reader the other 79%?
What, you really think that other 1% you don't show is going to
make me interested? Damn, you're dumb. If someone has to create
5 parallel stories in addition to the main one, then it means
that he just can't write more than 100 pages about the plot he
invented about the main character. And that means he shouldn't
write any more than 100 page novels at all.
I hope your book isn't going to be like that though. Although I
have suspitions about this "introducing" to the world. I haven't
experianced something like that working in a book. You are able
to write a book with both the story and lore, I believe in you.
