Personal Expert

I am Antares, an enthusiast and fan of the creative aspects of Worldbuilding and Storytelling.
Everything started on StackExchange and Codidact forums on these topics, where I provided lots of answers and ideas.
At some point I realized that the rules there are too restrictive for my taste and that it is not how I like to communicate with people about creative topics.
Therefore I decided to open up my own thing to offer this service (for free).

Worldbuilding

Ask anything about your world, what bothers you, what you would like to understand, improve or have checked for plausibility.

All questions are welcome!

Logo: A large capital A (for Antares) in front of a round, planetary-like shaped disk with a faint ring surrounding it like a halo but creatively placed a little off-center and tilted. Refering to the topic of creative, imaginary world-building. Can also be seen as a sun/star because of the yellowish color, which is where the name Antares stems from.

Storytelling

I will receive your message via email. Because of time zones and maybe other obligations on my part, you will need to have some patience. You can expect a response within the next 24 hours. Most probably within the next 1-4 hours. Also depends on the complexity of the answer to the question.
