Your Hosts: Howard, Mary Robinette, Dan, and DongWon
We invited attendees at WXR 2018 to ask us some general worldbuilding questions. Here’s what they asked:
* What cultural stuff do you need to know during the writing process?
* How do you treat overlaps between real-world religions and fictional religions when the fictional religions are part of the story’s fundamental conflict?
* How much worldbuilding do you have figured out before you start your first draft, and how much do you discover on the fly?
* What’s the point in a book beyond which you shouldn’t introduce big worldbuilding elements?
* How do you ensure that the world comes through as a character of its own?
* How much change to terminology is too much?
