On December 20th (At least for North America) the Witcher series will be released on Netflix.
Many of you already know the books and video games.
If you don't, a simple Google search will tell you the main character "Geralt of Rivia" is a multi-faceted protagonist. He isn't just a brute or an adventure hero. He has years of bigotry against his kind for being mutants and yet people come to him when they need monsters killed.
The setting is a fantasy version of the 14th-15th century Europe -where Magic has crossed over into the world and pulled in demons, dwarves, elves from other realms. It doesn't treat them the same as most Lord of the Rings-ish stories. The elves are second-class citizens at best for instance. It is a richly developed dark fantasy world.
He has many loves and the series never shy's away from sexuality. There is an entire scene with this stuffed Unicorn that you don't want to miss.
Is anyone planning to write stories to coincide with the release on Netflix? I plan to binge watch. Unfortunately, the Holidays prevent me from having time to write and keep up with my stories during the last two weeks of the year. I will still be knee-deep in the "Keeping the Womenfolk in Line- cumming of age" story.
However, I already have some ideas for what tales I'd tell. I may not write about Geralt. I might write about Triss and Yennifer after they tie up Geralt to teach him a lesson in trying to romance them both. I might also add in Ciri now that she is a woman to join in on the fun.
My question to you is would you write a story set in that universe and if so what would yours be about?
