Open for submissions until July 15. That’s really soon. Really really soon. But not quite here yet. You still have (some) time. Are you ready?

#JulyWorldbuilders Haven't written a single sentence of fiction here🤣 Don't even have a cast! But however they end up developing, I can tell you it's almost certainly within the controlled atmosphere of their deep space charting vessel, a terraformed planetside settlement, or a space station.

Hey remember when Shadows & Sorcery #200 was a nearly 5000 word free short story set in a land of savage adventure? I sure do. I think people should check that one out again☝️ shadowsandsorcery.substack.com/p/shadows-an... #fantasy #writing #shortfiction #shortstory #indieauthor

I swear I don't mean this as dismissive or flippant😭 But there isn't a single one of my characters I would subject to the horrid world of online marketing🙏 Marketing comes from the boundless malevolence of the Outer Dark. It's a Draconic scheme. It's a Vampirist's darkest art.

Watched The Legend of Hell House (1973) Wonderful 70s parapsychology, full of ectoplasm and definitions of energy the way fantasy writers use it. Slightly awkward movie, though, the material calls for a slower pace than the one-paranormal-event-after-the-other we get. Good looking film, though.

Next Souls playthrough project is seeing if I can poise tank my way through DS2 and DS3. Greashields and heavy armour. It's my favourite way to play DS1, and I want to see just how possible it is to pull off. I'm expecting the most trouble from DS3, since it's so spammy, but you never know!

Once again I offer you a journey into abominations, mutations, and slow reverberations. #dungeonsynth #darkambient #musicsky #dungeondrone plaguerelic.bandcamp.com/album/perver...

RIP Sam Neill, god what a loss

Darktide is a fun game and all but my god playing with three minmaxed skitarii is boring Why am I even here

I grew up with dial up internet. I'd let a video buffer for ten minutes while I went off to make a snack before sitting down to watch the new Spoony review with no interruptions.

Your annual reminder that I have a modicum of media literacy but only about low tier horror movies

Something really weird about Souls youtubers who know extremely obscure mechanical details but don't even know what iconic enemies are called Got a dude in an otherwise great video calling Darkwraiths "void knight guys" and calling Sif "goodest boy"

#JulyWorldbuilders I've answered this multiple times already😭 How about the Terra-Martian Consortium? They venerate our sun as a kind of impartial, cosmic life source. Unlike the Veshavan Majesty's high profile star worship, the TMC venerates the Sun least, the Moon and Jupiter get more attention.

Watched The Passenger (2026) Feels like it was made from a template as someone's first movie (but it's not). It's a pass on the haunting/curse story with zero sauce. Blumhouse tier exploding ghosts slop. Has a few decent scenes. Spoilers in my excessive thread for a shit movie no one will remember

Out of all my current dudes Carloman Tier -Carloman Top Tier -Alzared Scary Strong Tier -Kastaine -Casimir -Falcata (once I actually write her) Desperate Strength But Very Mortal Tier -Veney -Sepp -Rudge Literally Just A Guy Tier -Candorick (has powers but aint a fighter) -Barosh -Seva -Skivor

Official objective ontologically correct Souls hub area theme tier list Majula > Nexus > Firelink Shrine (DS1) > Hunter's Dream 1st version > Hunter's Dream 2nd version > Firelink Shrine, Secret Betrayal version (DS3) > Firelink Shrine, Regular Version (DS3) > Roundtable Hold 🧵

My dudes! We're gonna be talking MAPS next month. Here's an outline of the prompts for anyone who wants a sneak-peak (or for anyone who wants to make a map but isn't sure what to put on it!) Looking forward to this... #Cartaugust #WritingPrompt

its 38°c this weekend i want to pass away,

#JulyWorldbuilders Allow me to make stuff up on the spot lmao: the Veshavan Majesty, a major galactic power with a cosmic-scale nature religion (Pandosianism), has space cathedrals serving as ways to get close to the omnipresent and fearsome sun god and leave offerings to be shot out to it.🧵

Everyone's characters are young, hot, and cool, Carloman smells like a forest floor half the time and is his late 60s🤣 He'll happily sit in a corner, eat snacks, and smile. Might tell you a story, might fall asleep in a chair. Not really a party guy, has to be said.

Apologies btw for no Wizard Wednesday this week, but I was going through The Horrors But now they are over☝️ And I will begin posting again

This mixtape is absolutely stacked if you're curious about some good darkwave btw www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx_B...

If you haven't kicked Chrome to the curb yet, I'm here to tell you it was SO MUCH EASIER than I feared. This was an investment of minutes, not hours or days. Tell these disgusting motherfuckers 'no.' Bonus: I was asked to explain why when I uninstalled Chrome 🔥 www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

Hey hey my friend who runs TASQArt here in Dublin has been making a documentary about Steve Ditko all by his damn self. I've been getting the odd update about it and it's QUITE interesting. Please give the trailer a look! youtu.be/e9bLs_drYX0?...

Oh boy, another story rejection I thought was really strong and will never know why it was rejected despite fulfilling so much of their criteria😒

#JulyWorldbuilders I don't even fiction written here yet😭 But I do have a slowly developing cast of weirdos, who spend most of their time in deep space with a regulated waking cycle or on a variety of worlds/free floating space stations, to whom the notion of "morning person" doesn't really exist.😅

Back on my post-punk darkwave shit

I have next to no education in economics, and I refuse to learn. Instead I have developed the basic outlines of some unhinged and nonsensical future currencies. What do we think?

The new Shadows & Sorcery it OUT🫵 Dark fantasy! Horror! Troubled youths! Also, please check inside for an important announcement for S&S going forward! shadowsandsorcery.substack.com/p/shadows-an... #Writing #Fantasy #Horror #FlashFiction

People who pronounce R'lyeh as Reilly, I have a question: why?

Our kitty now has some kidney support food with more on the way to keep her happy in her ancient age

The H.D. Everett Review Thread🧵 Been reading a Wordsworth collection of Victorian ghost stories by said Mrs. High Definition Everett called The Crimson Blind & Other Stories, and I am going to have Thoughts. Please experience them with me! Read mostly in sequence, will update as necessary

#JulyWorldbuilders The religion of the Terra-Martian Consortium (our solar system) worships the sun as a cosmic judge who gives and takes life. The religion is the result of a long period of intense romanticism within the deeply isolationist system where poetry and science combined into faith. 🧵

Hi. So your boy needs a kidney & I’m officially on the #transplant list. Please share this as it would mean a lot to me to get a living donor.

Happy Wizard Wednesday! The penultimate chapter of Wizards of Winorth is here! Chapter 89 - Lovely Smell While Feli is rummaging through the cabinets she happens to stumble upon a leftover bottle of blushing bride.

She's had two really good meals this evening and is back in her favourite spot thank you for the vibes🙏 Keep sending!!

In the past two days I've slept like six hours, my GOD was putting Shadows & Sorcery on a new schedule the right move

#JulyWorldbuilders The capital system of the Veshavan Majesty, a major player in the galaxy, is a dyson sphere within a dyson sphere (more of a web of stations than actual spheres) with a relatively young sun at its core being siphoned. Alas, no fantastic elements, these are real life suns.

#JulyWorldbuilders As with everything Mor Via Soma, it's about the ornamentation. I don't think they actually have anything resembling conventional religious celebrations, and for funerals, they're very sombre and intensely respectful. That's not a mortal coil or clay, that's a piece of divinity.
