#FantasyIndiesJanuary Figured I'd try my luck applying for an art show this year! Main focus this year is going to be on my own books, not illustrating for others. And, in that similar vein, I've started playing with pastels, so I'm looking forward to more of that, too!

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Rathynia. No one knows where this country is. The people from there aren’t saying and neither am I.

Even though When Morning Comes finally introduces the Western kingdom & even a few characters from there, there is much about the West that remains a mystery. Including but not limited to just how big it is & even how far one would need to travel before they hit civilization. #JanuaryWorldbuilders

I have not yet written vampires, but two of my all time favorite depictions are from @joharraharper.bsky.social's Realm of Monsters Series/ Callista's Adventures Series and @katkinneywrites.bsky.social's Blood Moon Texas Shifters Series! #Critterary

#Critterary Prepare for a🧵 In "Hell Is Work" I have my three Gas Station Crew vampires and an Impundulu. In "Good Boys Don't Howl" I have Sky, a vampire S&M club owner. And I borrow Dracula from Stoker in "Life Before Blood." I'll go over each. 1/7 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers

I do advertise The Sarcophagus of Lamia Book 1 as Firefly crossed with Dracula... As for my Sigils books... Maybe soon, but to say how and who would be spoilers! #Writing #WritingPrompts #Critterary

#Critterary 2. Starting with a bang! I ADORE my nensiis, which is the dominant species in the realm of Vaeternus that originated the stories of vampires in the other realms! One of the main characters in #ChroniclesOfTheRealms, Nitara, is a nensii. As mentioned, they're not an undead subrace of 🧵

#Critterary So in the world of TNS, one of the elements is magic is blood. It's actually not what you'd think; it's simply magic that shapes flesh and is normally used as healing magic. However, most elements have good uses and taboo uses, and one of the taboo uses of blood magic is . . . (1/6)

#Critterary I forgot to mention Mudlarks yesterday! Being contemporary, I forgot there might be creatures, but it's paranormal investigations so maybe?🫣 There are multiple types of vampires hiding in Jack and Charlie's world: Psychic or energy vampires (humans who feed on the...🧵

#Critterary 2: No vampires in #TheDragonblood. Some bloodsuckers (mosquitos), but I'll leave those for a later day. As for vampires that I enjoy from other media, someone from my writing group is writing a vampire story that I'm finding really interesting! (1/2)

Vampires... aka the Immortals... are a cebtral monster in Moonlight Hearts. Immortals are combination of werewolves who bevome more vampirelike as they age. As they age the supernatural hunger in them grows. Most go mad. But the truly dangerous become much worse.

#Critterary Day 2 The vampire stories I've written a very old and very not worth revisiting tbh, but I enjoy vampires well enough! My favorite novels as a teen, Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman, feature a vampire-like main character (feeding on fear instead of blood). And of course Blade :p.

#Critterary Hello, critter friends! I'm Erika/Kira (either is fine). I created my world back in 1999 when I was obsessed with Pokemon and Digimon, so it stands to reason that 'making my own creatures' was one of my first worldbuilding feats😁 I ended up taking more notes from Digimon in regards to

Someone stop us! (But don't though, you LOVE us) Our next anthology, V, will be out next year. V for 5. V for Villains. We have dedicated some much needed time to the villain world and hope you come enjoy us for the ride. Coming June 21st, 2026. #booksky #writesky 🪐 📚 💙

Ebooks are reading. Audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. Pulp reading is reading. Adults reading YA is reading. It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

#WIPSnips - "Resolution" Had to go with "resolved"! An inciting incident type thing from the opening of The Wings of Ashtaroth!

Ray has resolved to take better care of herself. Sleep more. Take more time off. She is very bad at keeping her resolutions.

Fox has resolved get past her fear of her power, so that she can learn to control it. It's going...slowly. But some progress is better than none! Av'ry has resolved to accept he can't stop the people he loves from taking risks. He will try to support them as best he can instead. It's very hard.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 1 Happy New Year! I'm an autistic aroace amateur sci-fi and fantasy writer who loves worldbuilding! My favourite worlds (especially in fantasy) are those whose otherworldliness is ever-present, where everything just works differently from how it does in our world. (1/4)

Was a freelance non-fiction writer, now working on creative stuff. Active WIP is set in a world of anthros (shocker) with the plan being to span several generations to explore how powerful families rise and fall and the ripple effects of their legacies. #JanuaryWorldbuilders

#JanuaryWorldbuilders I'm Fox, a relatively altruistic critical thinker with a love of exploring the deeper side of human psychology and social functioning, and of ridiculous jokes. Seff's world is a scary one with supernatural trouble always lurking. The world of Prophecies is more whimsical.

I'm A. J. (A for August, I won't tell you what the J is for) and I'm trying to be a more professional writer than I used to be because I love telling stories and want to do it more. Avandoras began as part of a high fantasy DnD campaign, only to expand far beyond such confines. #JanuaryWorldbuilders

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 1 Welcome to 2026 everyone! Let's go! Hi, I'm Charlie!👋 I'm working on a character-centric, fantasy saga set in a world where magic is rare but powerful, the dragons are (mostly) gone, the gods are assholes, and a secret, existential threat hangs over everything!

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 1: Happy New Year! I'm an autistic aroace amateur sci-fi and fantasy writer. My current fantasy WIP is #TheDragonblood, a portal fantasy story in which Felix, a physics undergrad, is brought to a magical world by a goddess from that world and really wants to see dragons! 🐉

"Mr. Brooks takes a step back, lifts a bell into the air, and rings it. The race begins. I sprint forward, using the magic I've gathered to help propel me forward. I leap over fences, legs outstretched. One, two, three. All obstacles cleared." -AnimalsWIP, Raquel POV #WIPSnips
