Otherworld's Art

  It may sound obvious to the average reader, but there is still some confusion in the literary world on the differences between a Utopian and dystopian work of literary art. They are two very different concepts, but sometimes they can mix and match. For instance, a Utopian may use aspects of a dystopian in its prose and plot, and a dystopian world may intentionally disguise itself as a Utopian one only to give you the twist. I thought this was worth discussing as I begin my new Little Run Series taking place in the Utopian world of Hart, something of an alternate version of Earth set somewhere between the near and far future (a stride over two hundred years forward). It will soon be released on my Wattpad , but I thought it was worth discussing the genre as we lead up to its release. So what's the difference? What is a Utopian Story? Loosely a Utopian story could be described in the plainest sense as the ideal or perfect world. Usually, the author may have some underlying...

Revolutions were rampant, and protests were commonplace, but they soon were crushed by counter opposition. People died of starvation and preventable disease while resources that would have...

  Coastal View of Little Run, Port side (image generated by ArtBreeder)   Hello everyone and thank you once again for visiting Other World's Art. I've read and heard about a lot of post-apocalyptic and dystopian series, but how often do you see utopian series on the market? It's not often you see a series that explores the possibility of what a better future might actually look like. Introducing The Little Run Chronicles. These stories follow the lives and drama of folks living in a community-based semi-futuristic utopia. There no wars, genocide, or mass starvation. The past strife of the "old world" is over, but plenty of problems remain even for these evolved small town residents. Crime and violence remain prevalent in some communities, death and tragedy still occurs, and the people of Little Run certainly aren't without their life struggles. I will introduce this short story series that will be released and available to read online for free on my Wattpad ....
