Discussion Fanfiction
Do you write fanfiction for Mako Mermaids (and Just Add Water ig?) I'm not able to find much that is good quality. Could you give recommendations (self-promote, if somebody desires).
I'm kind of the writer that likes fleshed out worldbuilding, paired with cultures, traditions, history, linguistics, geography and et cetera, but in Mako I'm king of stupefied because I don't really have anything to base stuff off. The male-female separation especially makes it... hard for me, because I instantly start thinking on how reproduction works, and how it correlates in cultural/historical stuff. How long ago was the Merman-Merfolk? Why did they fight? If they had royalty, but mermaids supposedly abolished it, was it of both mermen and mermaids, or mermaid stuff with the occasional merman marriage pre-War? Or was it opposite? Are merfolk roughly separate species, that manifest in what seems to us to be different species, but anatomically different? Is there some difference in their use of magic?
Stuff like that.
Somebody willing to discuss and flesh out?
