It was funny to see this right as I started working on it. You've got some nice ideas. Wow, “court etiquette” is something that I’m working on myself for book two of my work.

Nah. That concept is something I imagine everyone has at least once. Just interesting - and good - to know someone else is on the same page as me regards the ability to over-shoot on the detailing. Building the framework, but letting the reader take it from there - you read my mind. The floating city thing? Nah. That concept is something I imagine everyone has at least once.

Maybe the secret is just to have an awesome, unforgettable plot? *shrug* @OS: Vivi says hi! *paw waves*

Trying to include everything from our worldbuilding usually turns out bad. We've got to remember as writers that supplying the 'framework' is enough. We have to let the reader's imagination take over from there. Glad you like Vivi and got the referrence ;) @aeronwy: Definitely.
