Can you help me with my story?
Hello dear friends,
I'm currently writing a very complex story and I'm at a point where I can't go any further.
We are in a medieval town and the main character (Eärendil) is just entering the town and is intercepted by his friends.
Your mission would be to collect fireflies in the city.
The ending would be that they are preparing for a party, but I don't know how to fill in the gaps.
I still have a few approaches:
-The main character has to go back to dinner
-You could do this as a gift
-The main character might sneak out of the house in the evening because of this.
Thank you for your answers!
PS: What isn’t explained you can imagine.

Don’t blame me.
The name is junk, it never existed. Should the fantasy be?
Mission Lightworm is scrap. You can’t find them in a city either.
Council: Restart and let people do something realistic. They probably had other worries than to catch light worms.
The festivals often occur in bad fantasy. Don’t worry about it. The ingredients do not fall from heaven!
Let the figures have goals, wishes, families and obligations. Then they move almost by themselves when you leave the unnecessary.
The name belongs to one of the characters in the Herr-der-Ringe universe. Eärendil is the father of Elrond.
In addition, ‘Mission light bulb’ is just a 2-percent fraction of history.
Also, the festival is part of the book ‘The Fall of Gondolin’ by J.R.R. Tolkien.
To this extent, it is as if you would tell the creator of modern fantasy that Fantasy is bad
You wrote about “medium age” and it was clear that you have problems with criticism. You’re comparing to Tolkien?
realistic things already exist, you can’t reinvent 🤷 ♂️
Come on! I’m sure someone’s said that in 1850. Moreover, it is usually about realistic handling and realistic reactions.
Thank you. It is not a matter of interest, but the story was not written from the perspective of Eärendil, but rather dealt with the city in which he lives. That is why I have creative freedom in some places to tell an organic story.
That’s how you misunderstood. “Fantasy” is shorter than “middle age” and “middle earth” everyone also understands. A lot of success in your script and filming. The figures are mean free.
Something “filling” indicates that there is something popular and I hope JEMAND wants to see any.
No, I don’t. I write a story in Mitellerde, based on the works of Tolkien. It will be a script based on his works. Every criticism of this story would therefore also be a criticism of Tolkien because it is his. The part with the light bulbs is a part that I have to fill in in the middle of the story, because it was not described further. And medieval times I just wrote so that people who would be willing to help me better understand what is meant, because it would not be smart to formulate the question too long, wouldn’t it?
If you want to fill out a part of a story because time passes, but you don’t know what interesting is to happen, then let it go. You’re going to catch glowworms. You trade this in 1-2 sentences and on the feast they talk briefly about their light bulbs and leave them free. The story will be interesting again at the festival.
Collecting is a time when something interesting can happen(!) if you need it. If it is to become a love story (collecting sausages somehow sounds romantic) first approach or basket, / it is used as an excuse to exchange secret information and to plan an unheard quest / in the high grass one is overlooked and one hears an evil plan with (The Treasure Island: Climbed into the apple barrel – would be troubleless if the pirates were not talking about their evil plan).
My suggestion: Let it go as I said above: You seem to have nothing for it. But if you find out later in the book that something must have happened before, so that history is consistent, you can insert it right in place.
What gaps do you want to fill? Eärendil is intercepted by friends and go together they catch glowworms for the festival (probably on the same evening).
You fill the text in a narrative way by describing the finding and catching. Maybe something funny happens during that.
After catching and whatever they want to do with the animals etc., the transition to the festival follows. You don’t have to rewrite the time in between.
