How to Build a Fictional World: Animated Video Explains What Makes Lord of the Rings & Other Fantasy Books Come Alive




Today I came across this explanation of fictional worlds. It is something I deal with every day. Exploring the fictional world is something difficult. Although I have to say it is easy to explain the fictional world. The communication between the author and reader could be completely different from each other. We all can imagine what it looked like being in a fictional world.

If you put several readers to a room and ask them how they see that fictional world you get completely different answers. The perspective of every individual will be totally different.

Film and theatre do adoptions of books. We see that with Lord of the Rings, Narnia and The Hobbit. All kind of books made it these days to cinemas or film theatre across the country. A lot of times we see that film is one of the things we going to read a book or we already did read it.

Most of the time if we read the book and after that you go and see the film you will discuss about it. Film and theatre need more characters then the book to get the storyline right. I remembered that I once went to see such an adoption from a fantasy book and I missed an awful lot of a part of the book I loved so much. The storyline not always bring you what you expect. Or we miss things out of the book on the screen.

If something like that happens we often say that it is not what we expected or I had something else in my mind. That is because we the public have created our own world in mind. The perspective is different then we thought.

In my point of few it will have lots of discussion but stick to your own fictional world to live in. That is the world we need to get around with thought times. To get away from your life you need to live. Put down your sorrow and keep those dreams coming.

Every fictional world is fantastic to live on.

Are you ready to go to Sherlocked?


Are you ready to go to Sherlocked?

In 2014 the famous TV show Sherlock will have his first convention although it was already announced a couple of weeks ago. They ask you to submit your details and you will get announcements when they are ready to do the convention. They also ask you on Twitter to think about place to have the convention.

When I first found out about the event I was thinking about how many fans of Sherlock that are fan of the books would actually go to that event. Which fans are actually served at that event? Only the ones who want to meet the cast. Is the cast able to go to every event due to schedules of films or did they schedule nothing to be there. What are the ticket prices? How about the prices for a meet and greet and photograph with the cast and crew? Time will tell if these questions will be answered.

I agree that one of the convention need to be in the UK. The TV series and books are set on Baker Street 221B in London. So normally you would say it needs to take place somewhere in London. As Baker Street 221B is way too small and little to do a big event like this.  

Will this event be at a new to build Sherlock Holmes theme park?
How about you would you go there? I would. 84% would go there if you believe the votes.

How about a grand opening with cast/crew and convention at the same time it would be the outcome of this great event.

The event will be taking place over three day’s, cast/crew members will be there and different activities that has to do with Sherlock.
The event will not only take place in the UK but also throughout Europe and USA. So catch it if you can and a fan of Sherlock.
