Is this a nice setting for my fantasy series?

Question

tell me guys is the orphanage a bad place that people won't be able to relate to..i mean fablehaven(a magical preserve)it was wonderful...charlie's factory brilliant...so is the orphanage ok if well written??

Answer 1

It's good, but you have to think of your audience. Orphanages could symbolize a child feeling alone and trapped, wishing for bigger things in life, and something small, brought by fate or coincidence could result in the dream. You should write it in the eyes of a child.

Good Luck, and best wishes.

Answer 2

if it is well written i think it can be excepted. just don't make it where everyone knows the ending but it hasn't ended yet.

Answer 3

love it

Answer 4

its all what you do with it. its a very sad and gloomy beginning, becuz its rock bottom right at the beginning of somebodies life. however they really have no place to go but up or out. the trick is to have a perspective of an orphanage that no one else has had.

Answer 5

Answer 7

yes it will be fine. a setting sets up a story but the characters and the rest of the novel make it great.

Answer 8

yes an orphanage is a good setting, especially if well written.

Answer 9

The orphanage is a good setting for many stories because it often sets up the main character as being disadvantaged and under appreciated which makes his or her accomplishments in the story that much more amazing.

Do some research though...even if it's fantasy, you want to have SOME idea of how orphanages are generally run.

Answer 10

yes.

Answer 11

Sounds promising.

Plus if your protagonist is a teenager, It saves the trouble of explaining why he isn't in school (Many teenage orphans end up dropping out of school)
