: Re: How do you build a story from a world? I have some material for a "world" (more fantasy than sci-fi at this point). I've noodled around with this world off-and-on for ages but have never

Sara has a very good answer and it covers most of the ground I use but there are a couple of other ideas that don't seem to be there in the way I use them:

Person: write about the life and times of a single individual, usually someone important, famous, or influential but even a month in the life of a common peasant, soldier, or sailor may be interesting if they go through a life changing event.

Current events: if you have built a full and rich world things are happening in that world, they are happening to people, people who are otherwise not terribly important or interesting. Their proximity to world events makes them interesting and possibly important if the events are big enough and they have an influence on the outcome.
