Would anybody out there want to read my soon-to-be fantasy novel?
I am an 18 year old autistic (and ADD) swedish guy, and I am obsessed with greek mythology, fantasy, mythology in general, star wars, and fiction in general. For maybe two years now I have been working on both a fictional epic fantasy universe, and a story taking place in that universe.
The story is similar to the classic hero's journey blueprint but I have worked very hard to also make it unique and special and I believe in it. I have taken massive inspiration from: Star Wars (specifically the narrative elements, NOT the sci-fi, there is no technology in my fictional universe), greek mythology (specifically the Trojan War and Achilles and his character arc), some norse mythology, but most of the things in my universe/story, I have created from scratch in my own brilliant head.
The plan is to write an ennealogy. I am aiming for the stars. Like for real. Call me delusional, but I want to be like Tolkien or like George Lucas. I want my books to get film adaptations and all that stuff. I already have a fully sketched out plan for the first trilogy, which is going to follow the main character. I am almost finished with Book Number 1. I also have a nearly finished plan for the second trilogy which is a lot about the main character from trilogy 1 passing the torch to his children/heirs/apprentices, and I have heavily begun working on a plan for the third trilogy, which follows the new main characters finishing off the story.
I love symbolism. I love character development. I love the beauty that J.R.R Tolkien was able to create, and I love the symbolism and strange originality George Lucas created, and if my books get published and I am given the time and resources I need, I am prepared to dedicate my life to this fictional universe and all kinds of spin-off stories; of HIGH quality, (not like the trash that Disney is creating in the name of Star Wars nowadays).
I am looking for someone to come in contact with me, and REMAIN in contact for a long time, perhaps being almost like a type of mentor and collaborating with me. Someone to discuss this world and these books with.
Real quick about the fictional world:
It is an epic fantasy world which consists of an extremely large place I simply call "the cosmos", and according to my canon there are trillions of REALMS, in the cosmos.
The books actually don't show a lot of realms. The stories mainly take place in two or three. I believe merely the idea of all the other realms being out there, gives the stories beautiful weight.
I have TONS of "magic" systems and cultures and species and those kinds of things.
Narratively speaking, the universe looks much like star wars in the sense that there is a huge number of worlds in a dark "space", and beings travel between them and go on dangerous adventures, and there are often wars and political conflicts. !!!!!! The main difference is that as I said there is no tech in my universe, which means that instead of spaceships there are gigantic cosmic beings, magical aircrafts or "chariots", or teleportation-related things and such, and basically instead of tech there is different types of (not quite magic but magic is the best way to describe it) magic.
I'm not looking for someone to write the story for me or come up with my ideas. I'm looking for someone who enjoys discussing storytelling, worldbuilding, themes, and character arcs, and who would be interested in following the development of this universe over the coming years.
Also: I know I am probably a naive and strange little autistic fella, and so this post may not be very appealing to many, as I have not given very clear details on what I am trying to communicate and such, but this is my truth. I believe in the truth, even if it's random and messy and poorly communicated. If you believe you may be interested, reach out to me and we could figure things out together. 😄
