: Re: I love the world and characters I've created for my story, but I dislike the plot. How can I proceed? I've spent several years periodically writing and developing a high fantasy story I mean

At the center of every story that really is a story, there is a character who changes. If none of your characters change, you have no story, just a sequence of related events.
(For an example, compare the two films Cars and Cars 2. Two characters change in the first movie. Nobody changes in the second, and so the second film is forgettable.)
Look over these characters and find something about them that needs to change, or decide what path they tread to become the people that you like so much. Then start your tale at that earlier stage and run it to the completion.
