Description

We've been talking a lot about worldbuilding.  But we haven't touched on the various different types of realities and how we can transport our characters there.  Join our hosts, Tamara Linse and Hazel Dains for this lively discussion of the best magical otherworld tropes as presented by Overly Sarcastic Productions, a popular youtube channel.  This episode's chat will be based on the channel's talk: "Trope Talks: Magical Others,"  view it here:https://youtu.be/MedjuejIJ14 or visit OSP's official websiteTrope Talk: Magical Otherworlds. And to learn more about Overly Sarcastic productions please visit, https://www.overlysarcasticproductions.com/

In this show, we tend to veer towards the saying, "It's all in the execution," meaning if you can pull it off, the rules don't apply to you.  We are all about creativity, authentic expression and having fun while we read and write. 

So join us and we are sure you'll be enlightened.

Who Are We?
