Hey, I love mythology, but rarely get out of the house to visit a library. It's called having a 3 year old sister and lazy parents.

Oh DEAR oh dear oh dear....
Spent ages the other night thinking up the background mythology for one of my stories. Basically wrote a Silmarillion-esque thing in about twenty minutes.
Hardly any of the information will get into the stories, but at least I know what the hell's going on...

But I can't write it seriously, like in the Silmarillion. I mean, take this symbolic and supposed-to-be important bit...
'And so the Eight were cast out of the skies and fell down to the Island. And fell. And fell. And then, after a surprisingly long time, they hit the ground with the loud THUD. At first they were still, and then they started to sit up slowly, moaning "Owowowowow" and "Oh CRIPES that hurts."'

Humor is a good thing though, even if you are trying to be serious. Too much seriousness tends to make things uninteresting.

I know - authors say 'write the kind of book you'd want to read'.

That never works for me. I love fantasy worlds, but mine always fall apart.

I know. I'd want one that was funny yet fantasy, but I'm being too serious... next time, before I write, I will drink half a bottle of Tesco brand appleade...
