Thear: In Depth

Type: really hard to describe

When I started writing for Thear, long before I began crowdfunding, I was writing a very different story, which is something I'm sure I've mentioned before. Originally this was a story about three races who had found themselves in a position where there was a much higher population of men compared to women and they realised that Earth had the opposite problem, so, after some very long and arduous conversations with the governments of the world, the decision was made that the Thearans could take with them one hundred women a year. Most of them came from the UK and America, as the Thearans thought it made more sense for them to take white people rather than black, due to their own colouring - which was blue, green, and red, as well as various mixes of these colours, although this was rarer. Purple and turquoise are the most likely combination colours, as the Uisdro (blue) traded with both the Tein-Igni (red) and Dorma (green), but the Dorma and Tein-Igni were much more likely to work through the Uisdro than they were to work with each other.

Pagan: In Depth

Type: realistic

Actually, what type this collection is does depend on your point of view, especially as I've found out, thanks to some prompts, that Anna is a walk-in. For some people this is likely to make the collection more fantasy that real, because they, for whatever reason, don't believe that this sort of thing happens in real life. Personally I do believe in walk-ins, and magic, and the old deities, so for me this is one of my more realistic collections, but that doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone. I am a pagan, although I'm not a very good one at the moment, which means this is something I wanted to write for a very long time. The more for this the more I realise where some of my other stories, one that I started years ago, will fit in, and when I get the chance I will be beginning them again, introducing you to a number of older characters that I haven't written about for year because they didn't have a place, although they are going to be slightly different to how they were before.

The Deities' World: In Depth

Type: indescribable

The Deities' World is exactly what it says it it - these are stories about the old Earth pantheons, as well as deities we have never heard of, who may be parents of those we have, siblings, children, or simply friends, because, unsurprisingly, not all of them wanted to be part of the pantheons. One of the main reasons for this decision is that talking to the races, whether they're on Earth or one of the many other worlds in the multiverse, is much like playing a game of Chinese Whispers. If you take, for example, the relationship between Hephaestus and Aphrodite you'll find that it's very different to how the Greeks wrote it, which, sometimes, makes them wish they'd never chosen to connect with people on Earth. (Everything I write about the deities is how they appear to me, so they may not be like the deities you know if you have any relationship with them. I think they show everyone something a little different.)
