| Re: Is worldbuilding pointless?
The example you gave is more of a deus ex machina than a worldbuilding inconsistency.
Let's just say that your fictional universe is like an iceberg - but rather than 10% seen in the story, 90% hidden underwater, the ratios should be nearer parity. But that doesn't mean you should stick as much of your worldbuilding material in your story as possible, of course :-) |
