@jonathanglick@vgr Love the appendix, though it doesn't flesh out/build the entire ME world the way The Silmarillion does.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@FrankieWeldon@vgr Agreed, but Silmarillion isn't an encyclopedia.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@jonathanglick@FrankieWeldon I did read Douglas Adams' Meaning of Liff/Deeper Meaning of Liff dictionaries. Not quite world-building tho1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@vgr@FrankieWeldon Lots and lots of SFF authors have glossaries, timelines, family trees at the back of their books.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@vgr@FrankieWeldon I suspect many of these are written for themselves, as they write, to keep characters etc clear.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
@FrankieWeldon @jonathanglick I get that. I'm just wondering if anyone has chosen to make the world building the main creative challenge.
