Fantasy World Building Questionnaire. Will this help?
Question by : Fantasy World Building Questionnaire. Will this help?
Ok, it seems to me that a lot of people on YA are interested in writing fantasy but struggle with certain things pertaining to world building, for instance. So, here are 30 questions regarding World Building to help some of you toss some ideas around and maybe inspire thoughts for your own stories.
(Feel free to pick and choose the questions you answer. I know that some of us don’t want to give out ideas that we’re already using unless we write them vaguely)
Let me know if these are helpful or not. If they are then I will post more questions for other things like creatures/religions/folklores/etc to try to help spark some thoughts.
World Building:
1) Are the laws of nature/physics different to our world? (ex: gravity, motion, time)
2) Where does magic come from? (ex: mana, Gods, magic items like talisman’s, etc)
3) Is Magic an exhaustible resource ( ex: that feeds off of willpower/life-force/ sanity (etc)?
4) Is the world unlike Earth, accessible from Earth (via portal), or an alternate world within Earth?
5) How similar is the history/culture to Earth’s history? (Ex: was there a holocaust like in WW2)
6) How does this world differ from Earth physically (Ex: plant/animal life, food chain, size, oceans)
7) What is the style of government (ex: Feudal, aristocratic, oligarchy, etc) 
What are the social services/obligations of the societies? (ex: taxes, public schools, councils/courts, military)
9) Is there a shared common law or is it divided among races/geography? (ex: civil rights, taxation)
10) Is population shifting from Rural to urban, south-north, mountains to coasts? If so why? (ex: plague, gold rush)
11) Does city layout reflect some philosophy (religion, hygeine, etc)?
12) Are farmers/peasants/yeoman’s, serfs tied to their lands by law/custom? Do they own the land or are they indentured slaves to landlords?
13) Are there natural or man-made barriers between rival countries?
14) Is magic illegal in certain areas? Do laws vary widely? Why? (ex: is magic an import/export substance, harmful to health/environment, etc)
15) Is there a single calendar to tell time, make measurements or does it vary with culture?
16) Does the solar system differ from Earths and affect length of days, tides, etc?
17) Are there records of the world’s history? How far back do they go? How widely known are the folklore/legends pertaining to this history?
18) Do the animals possess traits often found in plants or vice versa? If so, what?
19) What customs surround death/burial? Weddings? Healing?
20) Are healers rare? Are they expensive? Are they revered or mistrusted? Are they magical/non magical? Are the medicines sold/bartered? How do people compensate healers?
21) What are the types of arts/entertainment available (music? theater? dance? festivals? games?)
22) Is one race of creatures more artistic/talented than another? Are there rivals? Jobs relating to these?
23) What are the most common building material for rural homes/city homes, public buildings, temples/churches, etc. Does social class/wealth/magical ability, etc affect types of materials used to build homes/products?
24) Are wars common enough to warrant large walls and towers?
25) What are modes of transportation (via water, air, land)
26) Is commerce and business conducted capitalistically? Do people barter? Do they work uniformly without compensation? etc.
27) Do manners/diet/fashion/education depend on race/geography/wealth/social status etc ?
28) Are there magical means of rapid communication/transportation/weapon making/protection?
29) Does magical talent/ability change over time? Can magics be combined to form stronger spells? Does magic require a license/degree?
30) Is magic based off of the world religions/legends or vice versa? Or are they interconnected? Or are the origins unknown?
@Junebug No worries. And don’t worry about re-posting the question in your answer. If you post the question # next to your answer then we can always scroll up to read the question. Thanks for the answers. As always, I find myself nodding in agreement to your answers haha 
~~~ Do you guys want more of these questionnaires or no? This one isn’t attracting many answers so I don’t know how useful it is. Let me know if you want more or not 
*** Point to Ponder*** (To expound on Question #18)
- What if plants reproduced like animals? How would this influence the diet/agricultural and harvesting methods of other races? How would this influence morals/ethics? Would eating these plants make you a carnivore since the plants now reproduce like mammals? What are some controversies that could arise? How would this influence other plants? Would they inter breed? How would they attract mates?
@Seal: Thanks for letting me know that these were helpful. I’ll post more questionnaires then for everyone that ask questions meant to make you guys consider every type of detail. And yes, Gemi is for Gemini. My birthday is in June and though my personality doesn’t at all follow my zodiac sign’s characteristics, it’s my way of starting a new fad..Gemini’s don’t always have to have dual personalities and so on. haha. See? This is how pathetic someone like me is. This is how I stick it to the “man.” My way of rebelling. LMAO. God, I need a life.
Best answer:
Answer by ? ??????? ? ???? ???? ????
1) Are the laws of nature/physics different to our world? (ex: gravity, motion, time)
A) No, I pretty much keep the basics the same.
2) Where does magic come from? (ex: mana, Gods, magic items like talisman’s, etc)
A) The Earth? The Gods?
3) Is Magic an exhaustible resource ( ex: that feeds off of willpower/life-force/ sanity (etc)?
A) No, but it could be. I prefer heirerarchies if I’m going to have magic.
4) Is the world unlike Earth, accessible from Earth (via portal), or an alternate world within Earth?
A) How about an alternate world next to Earth? Or similar to Earth a long time ago? Or similar to what Earth could be in the future?
6) How does this world differ from Earth physically (Ex: plant/animal life, food chain, size, oceans)
A) Magical creatures, different kinds of animals, different types of plants, but the same basic rules.
9) Is there a shared common law or is it divided among races/geography? (ex: civil rights, taxation)
A) The world is too big for one law.
11) Does city layout reflect some philosophy (religion, hygeine, etc)?
A) City? What city? hahahah!
14) Is magic illegal in certain areas? Do laws vary widely? Why? (ex: is magic an import/export substance, harmful to health/environment, etc)
A) Nope. Although, certain groups of people aren’t allowed to practice (the slaves) because of their station.
20) Are healers rare? Are they expensive? Are they revered or mistrusted? Are they magical/non magical? Are the medicines sold/bartered? How do people compensate healers?
A) None of the above, in most cases. Healers save people. It’s their job and their calling (depending on what culture you’re in) so for the most part, if you can’t pay, that’s okay. They would hope for payment in favors, not money.
EDIT: I wanted to do more, but it wouldn’t let me post the answer.

Q&A: I wanna win him back. Please help
Question by Maggie S: I wanna win him back. Please help
This is kinda long, but please, I really need help. Also, I will answer any questions if you send me the link. Thanks so much in advance!! Me and my boyfriend of 4 years broke up about 3 months ago. It was completely my fault. I was having some jealously issues and some self-esteem problems as well. Basically, I have gained a lot of weight since we started going out and I was feeling badly about myself. Also, I stopped hanging out with my friends to only hang out with my boyfriend. So when he would go see his friends I would get jealous (even though I guess I was more upset because I didn’t have any good friends anymore) Well, I have been doing a lot of thinking since we broke up and have realized that I need to change some things about myself in order for me to be a happier person. Now that I have fixed the things in my life (I am on a great diet that is working great for me, and I have called and apologized to all my friends that I was neglecting and we have started hanging out again) I want to see if I can fix my relationship. It is important to know that my boyfriend and I were really perfect for each other aside from the last few months of our relationship when I started feeling badly and took it out on him.
now that you know the basic background, here are my questions.
Oh, also, you need to know that he is still a little mad at me (I broke up with him because I needed to fix myself, but I didn’t really tell him this at the time) so we don’t talk very often, but I feel like he will listen to everything I have to say.
So on to the questions.
1. Should I just tell him flat-out everything that was going on with me at the time?
2. Should I tell him all the ways I have changed/fixed those problems (the diet, calling the old friends, etc.)
3. What special/sweet things can I do to show him that I really mean it and want to get back together. (for example, i have already ordered from MYMMS.com a custom ordered bag of m&m in his favorite colors that say I’m Sorry and Forgive Me)
4. Does anyone think this will work? Keep in mind, we were really in love with each other for a very long time and neither of us has moved on to anyone else.
5. Has anyone has a similar experience? What did you (or the other person do) to win the other one back?
Thank you so much for the help. I really, really appreciate it.
Feel free to send me any of your questions, it is the least i can do to repay you for your help!!

I think you should talk to him and tell him that when you dumped him, it was never him, and that it was you. If he doesn’t seem to understand, explain to him about the problems you were feeling and how it was stressing you out while dating him. Say you never stopped liking him, and dumping him never had to with not having feelings for him anymore.
