Fantasy novels can run the risk of having very similar worlds. Without creative worldbuilding I loose interest really fast. I saw a post about creating a world that had vasts forests instead of oceans. The forest deepened and grew the deeper they got, with giant deer instead of whales etc. Does anyone here have interesting ideas and settings they would love to right about?

I'll go kill myself for that mistake when this thread dies.

I'm reading up on physical geography and geology. My style is just to try to be as realistic as possible with creating functioning ecosystems and modeling a plausible water/entropy cycle. I also try to write without the baseless pessimism, fatalism, and stereotypes that most fantasy authors seem to have. I don't honestly need to read a book to see a message I can easily find in pop culture.
Also, if you write about aliens or fantasy races, please don't base them off of ethnic minorities. Actually try, for once.

I remember reading a book when I was a teenager (I think by Sagan) that was imagining what life would be like on Jupiter or a similar gas planet. Had all sorts of fantastic balloon creatures and things that vaguely resembled birds or dragons, and the kind of drifting plants you'd have in such an ecosystem.
Most of the pop-sci I read back then didn't really stick with me but I thought that was cool.
