I’m sorry, just super excited, didn’t know where else to go. The information I got from him is as follows:
1) To write official content for D&D you have to get onto the team at Wizards, which is not easy.
2) To write unofficial things for D&D you just have to follow the guidelines and publish it through the DM’s Guild.
3) See what others have done at the gaming table and learn D&D first
4) HAVE FUN!
5) Right now Wizards is licensing out rights to publish novels in the Forgotten Realms, so I’d have to make a successful pitch.
6) Never abandon your dreams!
7) [In the novels] Everything has to fit, so expanding cosmology is going to be a tougher sell than a smaller-horizons story.

| I've talked to him a few times! A little about naming conventions in the Heartlands, a lot about queer terminology within the setting. |

There’s queer terminology? Huh... I would’ve thought it was completely just whatever, since you could be a special species or have magic make you however you want. For example, in Morse mythology, Loki was gender-fluid, and so I thought that was kinda the mentality we were dealing with here |

You don't need to pursue physical transition to be trans, and there's a number of words for orientations, as well. We've had a big thread here: http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23172&whichpage=1
Those talks are also where he told me that his Realms are one were the assumed default orientation is bi/pan, poly relationships are fairly common and not stigmatized, and "almost everyone" knows or has heard of someone who has magically altered their body, most commonly for gender affirmation. |
