Hi. I have been away for a long time (three weeks) and maybe some of this is not what you have discussed lately but anyway:
First of all I'm writing on two stories right now. One in a Tolkien kind of world (though the elves are more perfect than Tolkiens... you who have read the Silmarillion know what I mean) and another in a mordern world with vapires and maybe angels too. Talking religion then theese to worlds are actually part of the same world. I'll try to make it quick: At first there was Nothing, Eternaty and Conciousness. Conciousness made out of it's mind (or what you will call it) the Physsic Material (atoms) and the Magic/Mental Material (magic powers, souls and dreams). Then the PhM gathered and became planets and stars and so on, but stars are also partly MM thats why we think of them as so beautiful. Anyway each planet gets kind of a spirrit or conciousness of its own (good ol' mother nature) and its the neutral ballance between good and evil. This planets spirrit then creates some god-like creatures of pure MM, four good (two female + two male) and three evil (two male + one female twice as powerful as the others) this means that there is a ballance between good and evil, but the good alone is also in ballance, while the evil alone is out of ballance. The Four and the Three take physsical shape and the Four begin to make the earth. It’s a long story but it ends up with: One place all magical (heaven?), one all physsical (our world), and one in between (the Tolkien kind of world) also known as Atlantis because it suddenly diappeared for us (long and complicated story). Everything has a soul in this world, the difference from elf to human to plant to stone, is how concentrated the MM is in their soul, but the Three has succeded in getting some evil into the souls of everything except the elves. That was how the world was made.
This world is a heaven for authors like us because if you imagine a world it will come to life, but in another dimension or what we might call it. The vampires came from such a dimension and slipped into our world through some kind of hole or something. But my point is that the religion in this world is the ballance and NOT only good, because if everything was good, death would not exist and the world would stop changing.

Ok my try to make it quick didn’t work out very well.
The main plot in my first story is that one of the Four gets captured in the body of an half-elf and she can’t use her powers or anything, in fact she doesn’t know she has one of the Four inside her. And of course the good and evil is not in ballance any more...

Well someone said a while ago something about making up your own language was unneccesary. I don’t know if someone has allready said this but: The making of a language makes me feel that my world is more alive and not just the stages in a theater were the world stops just outside the view of the audience. Also i think people would love it, if my stories ever become a huge success, like we love to learn the languages Tolkien made. And finally I’m a bit of a perfectionist so I can’t just write some nonsens and then say “ Oh, this is the old elven language and meens I love you...” or something like that.

Hope I haven’t bored you to death.

P.S. I'm not afraid to admit that much of my world is greatly inspired by Tolkien.
