World Building in Fantasy and Science Fiction

Posted at Updated:
 

>Wow, that was quite the explanation. Thanks so much. I seen why you skipped right to the fun stuff. Again thanks for this crazy well thought out story. Anxious for more.

When world building in a fantasy or science fiction story, it's very easy to fall into the trap of a bunch of exposition up front explaining to the reader about your new world. I prefer to use a light touch by showing how the world is different, instead of telling how it is different.

For example, the introduction of "Indentured: a New Beginning" is showing Tom interacting with a typical college student and reading her community service brochure was to show the reader that they were in a similar, yet significantly different, world than ours and gave hints on how it was different.

That way I was able to skip right to the fun stuff and get the story moving along.
