Hi everyone.I'm currently working on worldbuilding and developing my short story writing skills in particular. I have a vague idea of this magi-tech fantasy (definitely not medieval) world where I can randomly point somewhere on the map and go 'there's probably a good story here, let's explore it'. Maybe I'll think about a novel at some point, but it isn't in my priorities right now.I'm a big fan of both fantasy and sci-fi, and especially ideas that blur the lines between the two in a fun, interesting way.Hopefully I can bounce ideas off people here and find inspiration, helping others do the same.
Here to share ideas and drink coffee

Hey PanAndPaper. Welcome!
Genre blending is always a fun exercise. I'm new enough so that I don't know where one goes to "bounce ideas off people" but I'd be happy to be one of those people in your case!
What kind of stuff do you read? Got any favorites?

Welcome to the forums. Hope you don't mind if I have iced tea with you instead of coffee. Never developed a taste for it. I think I was ruined by the coffee found in the W. Texas oilfields, which was black enough and thick enough to tar the roof. If you wanted your morning coffee break, it was mandatory, and with enough sugar you could choke it down, but I suspect drinking it took years off my expected lifespan.

You'll find lots of nice people around here, with insight on writing, publishing your works and making it through rejections. I'm still in the reading, listening and learning phase myself, and it has been a fun month. Hope you enjoy your time here too.
