Writing Lists

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for various lists that may help writers. Things like medieval buildings, time periods (dark ages, etc), objects, mythology. Anything really. I plan on creating a personal list of all of them.

Regards
Jason

lisajane is an unknown quantity at this point
That's a pretty big summary of everything. Why don't you decide on a couple of lists you'd like for the time being?

Whatever people can offer is great. I suppose if I had to pick certain lists the ones that would be most beneficial currently would be:

medieval buildings
mythology
british terminology
british school life *very important*

Thanks
Jason

is your list site going to be aimed at fantasy writing, or all genres?... an alphabetical list of general info resources would be a great help to writers, but are you sure no one's got one out there already?

if you list of lists has a theme/genre, it would be helpful to specify it, so contributors will know what's needed...

be careful not to plagiarize... most things like this are under copyright and you'll need to get the listmakers' permission to use them, if you're doing anything more than just providing a link to that site...

Sorry. I think you've got the wrong idea. I simply want words list type of things for my personal gain. I may add them to a website in the future but temporarily they are for me personally.

Thanks
Jason
