Marie is brave, determined, stubborn, and not particularly thoughtful or politic. Shurra, on the other hand, is clever, polite, inclined to bite and kind of an anxious mess. Theyre good at their chosen roles, not great at the roles Fate has in store for them #PlotTober #writingcommunity #writesky

The major complication for Marie is that her nation is actively at war with the dragon empire. Her King doesn't want her to find Shurra, feeling it improves his position if the Empress is scared and angry. Marie must find someone to order her to do the right thing or do herself a treason #PlotTober

The Dragon Empress appears to Marie in a dream, shows her a picture of her daughter's human form, and Marie falls in love immediately. But the Empress is kind of a huge bitch, so says "i will burn everything you love. You, personally, Marie Fontaine, whose family lives at [address]." #PlotTober

Marie wants to free Shurra from wherever shes been imprisoned, because shes kind of a himbo like that. Also, very relatedly, she'd like the dragon empress to not break like fifteen treaties and melt her hometown to slag. #PlotTober #writingprompts #writingcommunity #amplotting

Prophecy can't let herself get too comfortable in her own soul-skin if she'd like to keep it. #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #dragons #amwriting

For a lady who does a lot of kink, Penny visits very few dungeons in this book. The Pit will have to suffice. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #urbanfantasy #amwriting

Like the opera i have two MCs: for Tamino theres Marie Fontaine, a fisherman's daughter who joined the aeronauts out of Patriotic Duty, and for Pamina we have Princess Shurra, daughter of the dragon empress who was press ganged due to a rejected suitors schemes. They make out. #PlotTober #writesky

#PlotTober This is definitely a second world. Dragons, magic, huge airships and treacherous queens. Jagged, snowy mountain peaks and warm water bays. There's a lot of alpine/southern coastal France going on here terrain wise #writingprompts #writingcommunity #writesky

Penny does science to the magic in her brain and briefly regards her Tragic Backstory before remembering that repression is the gold standard for high achieving women. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #urbanfantasy #booksky #amwriting

Bree told me about her experiences, which she’s warred over saying publicly for some time. I believe them. Many of you have heard disparaging remarks about Bree from Noir. I highly suggest you rethink and reflect given this information. This is a terrible way to treat someone, let alone a friend.

Im very inspired, obviously, by The Magic Flute, which is just a super fun opera all the way through and you should watch to the Paris Opera perform it on YouTube! #PlotTober #writingcommunity #opera

The initial idea was an image of a dragon exploding an airship and Aeronaut First Class Marie Fontaine trying to shoot it as she falls from the sky. Im looking at cautious allies to lovers, wicked mothers, secret societies and a forever war. #PlotTober

IMMA DO THIS TOO BECAUSE ANGE ROCKS I'm Della and I write urban fantasy and romantasy trash about dragons. For #PlotTober I plan to be posting about my magic flute retelling with lesbian dragons, working title "Continuing Adventures Of The Good Girls" #writingcommunity #writesky

I guess we're doing #WIPSnips again. Meet Joey and Trix, the unlikely duo causing problems in your area #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #urbanfantasy #amwriting

This series is so much fun, you should 100% give it a read. Yes, you.

I never want anybody to forget that these people spend a decade using "free speech" as the thin end of the wedge to completely destroy free speech. People saw it coming, and said so, and were ignored.

She was a very good dog and I was blessed to share the last decade with her.

What character permanently altered your brain chemistry? Alas, Mycroft Canner.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Write a book? Nah. Get a tattoo of a book? Yah!

#AcademyH fans, you want this, trust me.

Dear LiveJournal, today I let my kids ride their scooters into town. This went predictably Bad. Then someone stole my breakfast at the coffee shop. Then 6 let the intrusive thoughts win and chucked a big rock at me. Then I got stung by a bee. The poison sac was stuck in my finger. Do over?

Finally sitting down to listen to @3blackhalflings.bsky.social , and listening to Candace and Jeremy chat about the “That’s What My Character Would Do” phenomenon honestly feels like sitting down with friends. It’s such a good, cozy, sometimes really profound conversation?? Go give them some love 🫶✨

I cant say much about Tom Spooner But I can say I really liked this piece of micro-fiction and I think you should read it

Good morning summer vacation is over how are you

Dr Julian Chase is the absolute worst, but the men who turn a blind eye to his behavior are a close second. #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

The magic school's debt collectors are *way* scarier than the Dragon of Loss. #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

The Vigiles Draconi has some pretty cool exotic weapons. Cooler when theyre not chasing you across the deck of a profoundly cursed cargo ship, of course. #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

Oh there will definitely be crimes #d&d #livestream #lfta

Re-upping this again, please spread far and wide:

Being a goddess of prophecy sucks when your friends consistently just make bad choices #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

Quite a flex to see machine suffering as more unsettling than the suffering of refugees, war victims, persecuted minorities, the starving... you know, actual human beings.

Going for adventure vibes today (adventures are terrifying) #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

Not new, but worth a reshare.

If Sandy hadn't been an Owens she'd have been a horse girl and honestly we all want that for her #WipSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

It's easy to forget, now that they're trapped in human flesh, how viscerally terrifying the great dragons were. The Vigiles Draconi remembers. The Vigiles Draconi will not let you forget. #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

HELL YES

Ezekiel Owens is dying and frankly nobody is all that broken up about it. #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

I ran up and down the stairs in my house for 40 minutes yesterday and today my calves feel like death. So I rucked five miles about it. They still feel like death but now so does the rest of me so calling that a win.

Penny Merritt may have taken "diamonds are a girls best friend" wayyyy too literally, but that doesnt make loading her up with psychic malware okay #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy ##writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting

Owens family politics is decided by complex social engineering or punching your cousin until he gives up. No middle ground. #WIPSnips #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky
