| Apr 23, 2017 at 18:24 | comment | added | user111 | Just cause this question got attention again, here are my thoughts about Worldbuilding. In my opinion, the problem with Worldbuilding isn't a lack of experts but a lack of imagination. Answers tend to be restricted to tired tropes of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Which is a shame, because those genres should be about innovation, rather than just regurgitating endless variations of Tolkien. | |

| Jan 31, 2017 at 2:37 | comment | added | HDE 226868 | @amaranth I would be careful of drawing too many parallels with SFF, even if we both share some of the same userbase. The two sites differ in a few ways, including details of scope and the precise kind of answers we want. Literary analysis is being emphasized here, and it's awfully hard to do that without reading the book in the first place. I'll agree that there are some edge cases, but they're likely rare. | |

Pontificated on Worldbuilding.
