A six-panel comic arranged in two rows of three panels shows a stylized, gothic-looking woman standing in front of a classroom chalkboard filled with faint chemical formulas and diagrams. She has pale skin, large expressive eyes, soft red lips, and long dark hair swept over one shoulder. Her ears are slightly pointed, giving her an elfin appearance. She wears a sleek, strapless black dress and long black gloves that reach above her elbows. Throughout the comic she gestures calmly as if delivering a thoughtful lecture.

In the first panel, she raises one hand with a mildly amused expression. A speech bubble above her reads, “Ah. Another political comic.” A small globe sits at the lower edge of the frame beside the chalkboard.

In the second panel, she holds one hand out in a casual explanatory gesture. The speech bubble reads, “They all say the same thing.”

In the third panel, she raises a finger thoughtfully beside her face while stating, “Shirts. Signs. Slogans.” Her expression remains composed and slightly knowing.

In the fourth panel, she gestures outward again with an open palm while the speech bubble reads, “Propaganda isn’t a story.”

The fifth panel shows her pausing silently in thought, one finger resting against her cheek as if considering the lesson she is delivering. The chalkboard behind her still displays faint chemical structures.

In the final panel, she looks forward with a small confident smile, finger raised again beside her cheek. The speech bubble reads, “Write characters… and people might care.” The classroom setting, globe, and chalkboard remain consistent, reinforcing the feeling of a lecture about storytelling rather than politics.

Society in Story There are a number of elements fantasy writers focus on during worldbuilding, traditionally they pour over decisions like mapping locations, designing a magic system and setting empires/species against one another – big, obvious things that shape the story. Yet this can mean they overlook an important aspect that helps to bring all the different elements together, the mesh of society in their world. By society, I’m not just talking about the people, but about the whole nature of their interactions and the way in which the author created ideas mix on the page and are shown to the reader.

List of societal changes and threats I’ve written previously about how important change is to a setting. In a great setting there are often forces outside of the protagonist’s control that are roiling the calm and shifting the dynamics within a society. To aid your brainstorming process, especially if you’re writing science fiction or fantasy, here’s a list of societal changes […]

One of the fastest ways to improve your book: read it out loud. You’ll instantly hear awkward sentences, pacing issues, and dialogue that doesn’t feel natural.
