I came into this with a very rough idea of what I wanted to write. I really enjoy dungeon stories, especially those without rpg elements. I also enjoy non-human/fae stories or perspectives so I wanted to include that. As for the idea of the actual story I had this image of a enormous tree, and beneath it lived a city, and atop the top of the tree there was the dungeon core. In my image there wasn't really a core like a crystal but more of a creature, and it was the embodiment of this giant nature dungeon. I liked this image, but wanted to try to tell a story to arrive there, but I had literally nothing fleshed out for my world. I had no names, no map, no creatures, inhabitants, nothing. I have worldbuilt before, but this project was more to practice writing as I have gotten stuck in a worldbuilding trap and wanted to avoid that. However as I began writing I quickly realized how many things I needed to figure out so that I could actually write this and not be bothered by it (Goblin names was the final straw. I was not building a language just to give them names that I wasn't bothered by). I would need to build another world for my story to live in, but this was meant to be a writing project not a worldbuilding one. So it got scrapped as I don't have enough time to dedicate to a full worldbuild, especially one that would likely be quite a bit different from the worlds I have built before. I did enjoy writing some of the perspectives and definitely learned from this, so I'm not bothered. Sorry to anyone who was interested in the story, I know how it feels to come to the end of an unfinished story that will forever remain unfinished. Thank you to those that read and reviewed, I was surprised anyone found it, and even more surprised that some of you liked it. (Reading your own writing you often think it's terrible and it's tough to appreciate). Anyways, this is gonna just stay here on haitus, but there is very little chance of there ever being another chapter, I had some cool characters I had thought up so I'm a little sad they won't get to come to life here, but maybe when I have the time to write another story I will use them then.
