Fantasia Archive

Story writing can get convoluted really fast, and it's sometimes a miracle how some authors can entwine so many story threads and tie them together by the end. Of course, there's no ending that will satisfy all readers, but a generally positive reception will ensure that your story will be remembered for years to come — for 10 years at least.

Still, world-building is no easy task, so what if you had a tool at your disposal to help you manage it more efficiently? Fantasia Archive is that tool, and you can manage your characters, story arcs and events, locations, and much more, down to the most granular of levels.

The program isn't complicated in the slightest: the installation requires virtually no input from you, and the interface is very intuitive to navigate through, thanks to the tree-based layout. What may seem complicated relates to how many options there are: you don't have to reinvent the wheel with your new story, but fleshing out everything and being thorough about your fictitious world goes a long way.

To that end, the program offers many ways to keep users in touch with their world-building: the Story/Lore section can help you break down your work into chapters, stories, and legends, and the customization is very generous here. Connect chapters with one another, specify the partaking characters, the locations and events that take place, as well as the languages, ideologies, organizations, and many other such elements of that world relevant for that story arc.

The numerous other ways you can characterize the other facets of your fictitious world are noteworthy: characters, locations, specific story events, as well as the species, races, flora, and fauna of that world, as well as its languages and cultures can be handled here.

You can tweak your characters in the most thorough of manners: besides the usual appearance features and traits, you can also create afflictions and boons for them, as well as give details about their wealth, relationships and connections, and much more. The same depth is present in the other categories, too: for example, details about the lifespan, population, evolution, defining features, and other such characteristics of your world's species can be given.

There's so much more to Fantasia Archive than you might be led to believe, and it's best you test it out for yourself: there's a lot of depth to writing a story, so having a tool like this by your side can help smoothen out your workflow.
