Everyone else is doing it, so let's go 1 like = 1 lore drop about the Pentagonal Dominion Alternatively, ask me anything about my worldbuilding

#Bookvember It was such a free for all, my grandparents were just glad that I was reading 😂 My grandfather had me read Dune when I was 10 like it was no big deal. I might joke about being scarred (like yesterday with the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark art) but it's joking. I'm fine, really

Wake up, babe. New horrors from the deep sea just dropped oceancensus.org/press-releas...

Aubergine PoV, but he mentions Felli (Peaches), so I'm attaching her/their picture for reference (Peaches is still going by she/her in this scene, but will go by they/them later). Here, Gene is on his way to change his clothes when Peaches bumps into him #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Heya #NovemberWorldbuilders! We're talking about COLORS in our world this week. Tell me about something in your world that's BLACK. Do you use it symbolically? Do you have any special black objects or animals or magical items in your world? Tell us about them!

Things that will make me buy your book: Pretty much all the things Tru said, but also I tend to stick to fantasy books, esp ones with lots of worldbuilding. So even if you're a perfect angel, I'm probably not gonna get hyped about your book if it's not my genre😅 There are exceptions, though!

#AwesomeCharacters Tynan was born to be violent, literally. Whenever Lucognidus 'created' a mind for Tynan, if they didn't consent to a life where they would be a living weapon, they would be erased. The Tynan in the book is the 36th. The first 35 had various 'faults,' some too peaceful

#NovemberWorldbuilders In Aloutia, the four seasons are symbolized by four animals. Winter is the only one symbolized by an animal that also exists irl: an ermine, a stoat that grows a white fur coat in winter to help it blend in with snow

Mentioning this now for those that might want to plan for small business support Thanksgiving weekend! Geek Craft Expo Seattle is my last show of the year - $2 to get in the door for Sat or Sun. It's like an artist alley without the convention cost ;) #geekcraftexpo www.geekcraftexpo.com/tickets

Very excited about this... Want to learn more about semiotic analysis and cultural research - and how to apply them to your writing projects and practice? Come join me and @alexdavis1981.bsky.social, and we can make it so!

Hello, #NovemberWorldbuilders friends! We're in COLORS week! Tell me about something in your world that's WHITE. Have you used it symbolically? Any special white clothes, rocks, animals, or magical artifacts you'd like to talk about?

I often know the ending before the rest of the plot, lol. I usually have some epic scene or moment in mind that I want to build toward.

#AwesomeCharacters Disclaimer: Tynan *does* have some peacock symbolism due to their grandfather (Lulu), but that's more of an inherited thing, not truly *their thing* Their symbolic animal would be the zmey, a draconic animal that lives in deserts. A vicious predator, and symbol of a queendom

YAAAAS, THE COLLINSES' NEXT FANTASY BOOK IS ALMOST HERE! (I don't know how to pluralize Collins and make it the possessive??) Friends, if you're a fan of more classic fantasy like LotR, CHECK IT OUT

#NovemberWorldbuilders Since Ame mentoned her world's Amethyst Throne, I want to mention mine, too 🥰 It's Lucognidus's throne, created from a solid chunk of amethyst that Machenerate (the Stone Goddess) made just for him. Lulu is big, so this chair is bigger than it looks!

Khonri is the greatest friend a girl could ask for. I don't have the computer literacy to make a feed, but here she is, doing it for me. 😭 Friends, subscribe to this feed to find all my prompts easily!

From the scene where Aubergine (Iom'ren) first stumbles into the inn on a cold winter's night with a blizzard raging outside. Shallot warms him up by the fire and feeds him. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#Novmemeber Both Baron Aletons (Velderash and then his son, Mavolo) have exactly one green flag: they like animals. Velderash takes care of tro-odons while Mavolo takes care of dogs.

cw// American politics HOLY SHIT CAN WE KEEP THIS UP? CAN WE GET MORE W'S ALL AROUND? cheers to all my friends in NYC and other places that got their dipshit republicunts out

#NovemberWorldbuilders This week's theme is COLORS! Tell me about something in your world that's PURPLE. Do you use it symbolically? Do you have anything special in your worldbuilding that's purple? Maybe an animal, jewels, a garment, a flower, or something more strange and magical?

Just got jumpscared by my own book😭 On another place (not Blue Sky), I saw a thread going viral about a yaoi fanfic where the bottom didn't have a butthole. I chuckled because this is canon to my fantasy world. Went into the topic to see responses. Someone posted my book where I talk about it🤣🤣

#AwesomeCharacters In Merchants of Dance and Hedonism, I only consider Tynan the MC. Side characters, but still pretty important: -Requiem -Lungidus -Loyenie -Steffa -Sayuri And the villains: -Megumi -Sidonay -Fumatsu

#NovemberWorldbuilders The flames that come out of Grilled's wrist are green. Anything he lights with it will burn with a green flame, too. Ever since he was a kid, he became obsessed with lighting all the inn's candles and the common room's hearth. It gives the inn a unique sort of vibe

Writing portal fantasy where they canonically speak English minus words that were named after people and places on Earth (though mythological figures=generally okay) and me forbidding myself from ever using "silhouette" or "mesmerize" All because I like an extra challenge

cw// brutal execution, infanticide mention, general grossness and creepiness Long one today, so I'll post it without a picture so hopefully you can read it. Grilled watches the brutal execution of a woman who killed her infant. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Hey there, #NovemberWorldbuilders! It's COLORS week! Tell me about something in your world that's green. This one is probably more common, since green is so strongly associated with nature. Do you have any cool greenery in your world? Or maybe you've used it for an object? Tell me about it!

#AwesomeCharacters First off, I can only imagine Tynan doing this after they've become much older and chiller. 🤣 But after that happens, they'd do a history podcast where they use their 'knowledge' power to literally look into the past and report what they see. I could also see them having a script

#NovemberWorldbuilders Gold is notable in the Pentagonal Dominion for being... not very valuable economically. It's simply too common, since many Daga have golden shells which they shed a few times over the course of their lives. In addition, if gold were valuable, people would kill Daga for their

In post-Greed Wars Aloutia, they uphold anti-capitalist policies while also understanding that money is kinda important. Businesses are limited in the amount of money they can make and keep. After a certain point, they are forced to spend it on public good projects or buying the freedom of slaves.

#Novememeber For Tynan, a genderless shapeshifting assassin who was born at the start of the book with the knowledge and thinking skills of a 15-year-old.

From early in the book. Here, Grilled and Garlic are pretty young. They had found what they thought were tomatoes outside and added them to the inn's stew.... which poisoned it. Shallot had to punish them and tell them why what they did was wrong #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

It's #NovemberWorldbuilders! We're talking about colors in our worlds! Tell me about something in your world that's YELLOW or ORANGE? I find that these two are often underrated/underused in worldbuilding, so I'd love to hear what you have. Maybe something symbolic of the sun or made of gold?

This is how I'm gonna look every time someone hits the dislike button on one of my posts.

#AwesomeCharacters *Fuck* no I don't, LOL. I am thinking about them CONSTANTLY. At work? I'm thinking about them. Reading other books? Thinking about them. Playing video games or watching anime? "Oh hey, that reminds me of a thing my characters did..."

We’re a little more than ✨ONE WEEK✨ away from Midnightsong’s release! To celebrate, Book 1, Oceansong’s ebook is on sale only at @heabookshop this week 💙💙 Grab it for 0.99p, or $2.00 (originally $4.99)! #booksky

As the nights draw in and the cold deepens... The original printing of "The Lord of Ruthven Hall" is the first story I ever sold, and very much a love-letter to the Victorian Gothic. By way of murderous transmasc werewolves, because I know what I'm about. saranadosfiction.com/2023/08/04/t...

I gotta read this book some time. It has so many things relevant to me, specifically, that sometimes I wonder if Kori knew me somehow before writing it 🤣

Grilled sends one of his detached hands on an expedition through a vent. He's doing it to clean it... but then finds something *weird* One of the Good Thyme Inn's MANY secrets #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

One thing I need to work on when I go through my entire wip and edit it: Up those damn stakes I find myself continuously being too nice to my characters. Things aren't bad enough for them. I keep throwing softballs. I've gotta make them suffer. I gotta get the tension higher from the start

#NovemberWorldbuilders The ocean isn't your average ocean. It is the Demon Lord of Despair, Deep Sea. The waves are his fingers. Whirlpools are his mouths. He can see through the eyes of every marine animal and lights up the abyss with bioluminescent creatures. Pray to him, and he will guide your

Heya #NovemberWorldbuilders! Continuing with COLORS! Tell me about something in your world that's BLUE. Do you use it symbolically? Do you have anything special in your worldbuilding that's blue? Maybe an important object symbolic of the sea or sky? Tell me about your blues!

#AwesomeCharacters I think the closest thing Tynan would have to a "friendly rival" (not counting the antagonists) would be: In the first few months of their life: their sister Vio, who's a brat Later in life: the young girl, Nio, a troika master. But when they both grow up, they'll be partners😁

#Lovember I love when I FINALLY get the prose just right and it's actually *beautiful* It rarely happens the first time (first draft), but after editing, I can often write to my satisfaction. I still feel like I have a long way to go before I'm completely satisfied, though.
