My world

The world I've written much of my half finished fantasy in since I was 8 or so, is named Bastagon. I don't really know why, it was a name that came to me then and have used it ever since. I refuse to Google it and find out its already taken.

Bastagon is your prototypical fantasy world. However, since I never really finish anything I start, its a very murky, unfinished world. I've probably drawn over a hundred maps (in the last 23 years) of parts of Bastagon, but never really attempted to fit them together.

When I was younger this was excusable. Now, its pretty much just lazy. Oh well, I'll get to it about the time I actually finish writing something. I'll use that as canon and build from there.

Brilliant! (Guinness please?)

Bastagon is populated with elves and humans and dwarves and orcs. All the good fantasy staples. However, over the past year (as I read through David Drake's Lord of the Isles) I've been kicking around the idea of planes/dimensions/other worlds, tied to Bastagon.

Humans aren't the focus for me all that much anymore. They have been taking secondary and tertiary roles.

A far cry from when I was 11 and wrote about 160 pages (by hand) of "The Pilots of Bastagon" which essentially was about me and a bunch of friends from school who were pilots in WWII flying Corsairs and get transported to Bastagon. Its pretty awesomely awful little kid stuff.

Anyway, I needed to make a first post here. And I have now.

I suppose I'll end with some pointless comparison about how my views of Bastagon has changed as my views of the world have changed. They have, but I'm not sure correlation equals causation.
