i love writing lore, but i desperately need resources and guides to help me out because i am by no means an expert on writing nor dragons. that being said, i have yet to see a grand masterpost with a bunch of resources for writing lore!! i've seen plenty for making bios look pretty (and thank the heavens, i'd be lost without them), but only a handful of small lists for writing resources. so i've decided to create my own!!
please note: this list is only for writing resources. no graphic/template resources will be featured here.
now, i just spent about an hour and a half searching for lore resources, and oddly enough, that was a ton of fun. is there something wrong with me? i'm actually pretty happy with the results; i've already collected links to nearly forty different resources!
please, if you find something you think belongs here, let me know!! i'd love to add it c:
