        <![CDATA[ This idea actually has some backstory to it.


I&#39;m the youngest of three siblings. When I was younger, my two older brothers went to bed later than I did, and as such, the light outside my room was
often left on when I was in bed with the light out. This light from under my door combined with my nightlight and whatever other light might have been leaking
into my room cast some rather interesting shadows on the ceiling. In fact, the reading lamp combined in a certain way with my bed and... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Whenever I show anything to my mother... she goes on about how good it is for awhile- but she&#39;s my mom so I have no idea whether it&#39;s any good or not,
still. Hmm... what I meant was the fact that I had to convince myself that nobody was reading my story because I didn&#39;t want to tailor what I wrote for
other people- not that that&#39;s a bad thing, but I didn&#39;t want to be afraid that people wouldn&#39;t like it if they read it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This is partly why I&#39;ve given up (or rather, never really got into) sharing my writing with my family or friends from home. I give it to the university
friends since they know more what they&#39;re talking about. Or Chris, because he can be uber-critical a lot of the time. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Except that takes away the all important audience! How can you tell if what you&#39;re doing makes any sense if you don&#39;t have someone tell you otherwise.
As for family: if they make fun of you, consider it training, when they stop making fun of you, you know you have a winner (that&#39;s how it works with my kid
brother). On the other hand, if all they do is dote, or say, &quot;I liked it.&quot; you have to train them to make helpful comments. Don&#39;t ask, &quot;what
did you... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Names =/= copyright infringement. Otherwise Square Enix would owe world mythology more money than currently exists. I could sit down and write a book about a
lad named Harry Potter right this instant, and as long as he wasn&#39;t too much like Rowling&#39;s Potter, I&#39;d be in the clear. No one would <em>buy</em>
it, but there you go. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh yes, I know how that feels. Once I had to swear to myself that no one was ever going to be allowed to read my story so that I wouldn&#39;t get all caught up
on what people may think of it, mainly my family. They&#39;re always trying to hunt down my stories. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Huh. Interesting. I&#39;m not going to let it bother me too much, actually, because when I looked it up on Wikipedia I got all <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kesh">these</a> results, and the one about the ancient Sumerian city and religious center intrigues me. Maybe my
Keshin Empire is based on ancient Sumeria.

And I&#39;m trying not to think so far ahead right now, actually, since I&#39;ve discovered that, for me, writing with the intention of publishing is... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Or you can have people living remotely on the sides of it because they&#39;re outcasts of some sort from the city! Or the people that live remotely on the
sides can shake their heads and say &quot;tisk, tisk what strange people. Don&#39;t they know how much better life is on the outside of the bridge?&quot;

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh heavens. <em>Destroy</em> the bridge?
<br>
<br>
...Interesting.
<br>
<br>
I like the idea of spill over on to the land on either side, but I think I&#39;d still like for the bridge to be gigantic, with pretty much the entire city on
it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ At the risk of losing a little bit of the breathtaking wonder, you could always have the bridge itself be large but not immense, and covered with only a
<em>portion</em> of the city, while the rest of it spills over onto both sides of the canyon. It makes more sense from an urban point of view, as every city
expands over time - perhaps back in the day the bridge was the only neighbourhood, but waves of immigrants from Kesh and Tharin set up shop on either cliff
edge? As a plus, if there&#39;s... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I&#39;ll only tackle a few questions at a time, but I&#39;ll endeavor to get to them all eventually.
<br>

The bridge is made of stone. Mostly stone, anyway. The curious thing about the Great Bridge is that it appears to be both a natural phenomenon AND a man-made
construction. It is possible that some ancient civilization (not... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Reminds me, somewhat, of London Bridge (before it was falling down), and Florence&#39;s Ponte Vecchio, and Venice&#39;s Rialto - all of which have/had
buildings on them, but to nowhere near the same scale.
<br>
<br>
Does the bridge-city belong to either nation, or is it a free city-state? Does either nation eye it greedily, hoping to one day invade and wrest control to
impose tariffs? Is there any point on the bridge that can be raised, or lowered, or somehow altered to prevent passage to... ]]></description>

the Chasm been there? How&#39;ve Kesh and Tharin evolved separately? What&#39;s at the bottom of the Chasm? does it <em>have</em> a bottom?

What&#39;s the culture like on the bridge? who lives there? are there maybe people clinging to the girders (if it has them) or the underside of the bridge?
