Hello! I'm writing a character who is a secular muslim-american girl, but can also perform magic. In my research of Islam, I'm reading that witchcraft is strictly forbidden. While I'm still researching on Islam and muslim culture, I'm afraid that the character concept itself may be problematic in a way a white author like me should avoid. Do you guys have any insight on this? Should I reevaluate this character? Thank you.

Hey anon!

This question seems to be less about witchcraft and more about how to respectfully write Muslim characters. That’s great, and I’m glad you’re doing your research, but it’s not a question I’m qualified to answer. I’d suggest checking out blogs about writing Muslim characters and reaching out to them for this question. @writingwithcolor is on break at the moment, but their Muslim tag may be of use to you.

Happy writing!

Hello! Thanks for the wonderful blog. I'm working on a fictional universe and I was wondering: how would a planet work with only one climate? What characteristics would it need to have in order to be like that? Good luck with the finals!

answered:

Uhm, well. I am fairly sure that this would be 100% unattainable due to the many, many, many factors that attribute to climate. However if there was some sort of magic keeping your world like this, you could do whatever you needed to, but to have a single global climate would be impossible to explain and it would take far too long for me to try and actually give a detailed answer for that and for you to read it.
