If your character can write links to specific places using intuition or he is just so lucky that he writes exact links to important places within the existing storylines, than you risk making them seem too powerful and that's when people get upset. There are more plausible ways for your character to end up on Earth if he has already come across D'ni worlds. A hidden D'ni linking book for example in the age he and the D'ni mutually wrote about.

actually i was thinking more unrelated, about just a D'ni getting to our Earth.

he is no God, he sure has wrote a lot of worlds though

[Mogwaii]

and just wondering, could you write a link to an version of earth that is THE version of earth. the one Cyan lives on?

it would be interesting if Atrus met Rand. They look so similar!

"you created a video game about me?"
"that's not quite how it happened. prison books don't exist."

Lol, I would like to see that.

I personally am not too worried about Mary Sues, in fact to a small degree I think they could be a benefit. Now I know many Mary Sues are awful in that they are amazing at everything and have massive ability and are best friends or descended or even are Canon Character. Such as:

Atrus' BFF

the long lost child of Gehn and Katran

Sirrus' Son

The Stranger travelled through time and married to a good Veovis.

While these are all hard to swallow the Tree of Possibilites suggests anything is possible. And should these character grow and evolve suffer and persevere they could in fact reach a point in which they are enjoyable entertaining characters.

The D'ni are on our Earth. The Cavern is located in New Mexico. Some D'ni had reportedly made it to the surface and remained when they built the exhaust fans to the cavern as well.

Can I write an age that happens to once have been inhabited by a person who also wrote himself into that age?
Here's where it gets worse: He isn't D'ni.

We failed to ask the most import question in this situation: why? why do You want/need do such a thing?

Bear in mind, that with just D'ni and their Writing, the spectrum of possibilities is enormous. The best example is Exicle: Sevedro was a native from another Age. At that point Cyan (or Presto, whoever was deciding on the story) could make him whatever: a shape-shifter, a horny red devil, a green blob, _anything_ was acceptable, becouse he was from another Age.

So again: why?

Why not? Sorry had to.....

I don't want to just put him in this age with no clue how he got there, because he's by himself. and his personality is influenced by the fact that he's able to write ages. the way he writes is very different though, and I just finished writing one of his descriptive books you can actually read. also, he helps make the age what it is, without him it's not the same.

the thing is, that although there is no limit to the possibilities, there's still the fact that we are saying we want specifically <this> to happen. we are suggesting that we should always get what we want. the simple fact that most all our linking books work is just amazingly against the odds, don't you think?
