@art_of_goulwenr@mastodon.art honestly that's a really good idea to break it into short stories- even just intermittently. Even with correlating map sites.
I did a break down of NYC (called New District), Boston and a fictitious city in Vermont/Quebec where the rich go during the summer season. There's also elements of low fantasy but I don't know if I would call it that. It's more, inspired by Isabelle Allende and Magical Realism. For instance the main character's love interest - Oliver Marx, has a very rigid almost puritanical ideology in the pursuit of justice for the underclass (despite being technically related to the upper class) and ends up in a insane amount of shootouts with the police, gangsters and all other factional groups but has an unbelievably lucky shot. We don't know if Oliver Marx is really that good or... if the lucky tailsmen he received as a child from hooded figures that he carries around helps.

@simplyxtata@c.im glad to be helpful ☺️ Maybe you could be interested in several hashtags games related to writing? I participate to 4 of them (and there’s many more, dedicated to a language or a kind of story) Their communities are very welcoming and diverse, it’s often very interesting to read other people answers and compare them to my owns. And it helped me a lot understanding better my universe and my characters
