[close] Dedicated to the craft of world building for the Fantasy genre...

[close] Tides is the story of Dr. Winifred Eurus, a biologist trapped on an alien world with hostile tidal forces. Like all stories, Tides is just one in a rich tradition of science fiction. This group is a place to discuss and recommend other stories that fans of Tides might enjoy.

[close] Welcome to our amazing reading group and book club! This group was created to share opinions, ideas, thoughts and conspiracy theories about our favorite books! We will discuss old books that we LOVE and also select one book to read together with a very flexible schedule in mind. We will discuss and review these books as we work our way through them.

[close] The focus of this group concerns the design and analysis of imaginary (or constructed) worlds for narrative fiction. We will read novels that create immersive, atmospheric, and engaging fictional worlds. Whether it’s a gothic castle or another planet, we will meet and talk about these settings on their own terms. How does the author create these worlds? What methods are effective? And what kind of worlds do we find ourselves retreating to and why?
