I rewrote the beginning of the Longing for like the 12th time this week. It's getting closer to what I feel is right. Currently stealing liberally from James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist. I figure 5 more rewrites + edit and it'll be ready! #darkfantasy #visualnovel #chroniclesoftaldun

One of my favourite thing about Never Winter's Briar is that it takes time out of the horror and drama for the little things. Arden watching Briar make a stew, how they tap a finger on their lips while choosing a herb to put in, how they cut the meat small because Arden is grossed out by big chunks.

Chronicles of Taldun: the Longing Update: We are at 120k words now. The story is about 70% done. So I'll probably write it to 180k, then edit it back down to 120k. That's a lot of baby-killing. (Writer's lingo, no actual babies will be harmed.) Wishlist it! tinyurl.com/4w6a3tr8

We are turning MWB into a full length novel. Three novellas will be joined together, one about Briar and Arden, another about Briar and Willow, the woman who raised Briar into who they are. And Eliel's story. We expect it will be out some time this year. Is this normal? What do you think?

Our dark fantasy short story Eliel’s Bloom is published! Six hearts intertwined, six bodies joined in devotion. Six voices raised in song. Yet, the roots hunger, vast and unyielding. Love alone may not be enough to hold them together. #queererotica #darkfantasy nimphradora.itch.io/eliels-bloom

Eliel – the Vessel, the Offering "Love demands sacrifice. Eliel understood this better than anyone." Taking the role of a vessel of ancient magic, Eliel willingly offers his body to the forest. As the roots take hold, does he become something divine, or something monstrous? #queererotica #shortstory

Six hearts intertwined, six bodies joined in devotion. Six voices raised in song. But when Eliel lays bare beneath the sacred grove, it is not only his flesh that is given. The roots hunger, vast and unyielding. Love alone may not be enough to hold him together. Coming soon! #booksky #queererotica

Working on another char-Dialam. Sweet bebi who deserves all the hugs.

Felt like drawing for the first time in ages. This is Ulsien, a main character from the story I’m currently writing.

So today inspiration struck while fiddling with my unnamed elf Torturer novella, so it's massive rewriting time! Follow for more meanderings. #darkfantasy #fiction #horror #erotica

Wrote and rewrite a few lines of the torturer story today. Characters have names now.

Is indie VN publishing still a thing? Anyone out there doing porting to switch?

Exported some sprites today.

Help the authors you love: - Buy their books - Review their books - Order their books at your local library -Attack people on public transport with a copy of their book so the cover gets featured on the news - Follow their social media - Share their posts

Name 1 thing you would rather do than to promote your work on social media so you could maybe pay your bills. I'll start. 1. Stare at my cat lick her belly for 10 minutes.

New novella I'm the works. This one is pouring out even faster than Briar did. A torturer's story, might be a tiny bit of Joe Abercrombie influence in there somewhere. ^^ #lgbtq #darkfantasy #fiction

Writing advice be like: how to describe like Tolkien, how to plot like Sanderson. Nothing wrong with all that, but what works for me the MOST is: "write only self indulgent trash". Enabled me to turn out a pages a day, every day for months now. Try it! Write utter, unabashed filth! #writing

The primordial fish S'ruthrul gave birth to the world of Taldun, and the world beyond. It was the sun that circled—for aeons without end—at the zenith of the sky and bathed the world in heat. From Appendix Ia by Magus Tashana of Twenty Stones, Chronicles of Taldun #cottl #taldun #visualnovel

Progress on the Longing's script. Current projected total: 150k. Current artworks needed: Way too many. >.< #theremainder #cottr #cottl #taldun #darkfantasy #visualnovel

For many turns, Evin lived on the remote peaks beyond Twenty Stones with their fuzzy companions. Full image and ultra high res available to our patreon/ko-fi members. Art from Chronicles of Taldun: The Longing. #visualnovel #cot #taldun #cottl

"An owl hooted above Arden; another answered, as if to greet the first. The back of his neck prickled. The woods had hushed; something was watching him." Author's Picks is where we share snippets and insights about our writing. This one from: #manywintersbriar #dark fantasy #erotica #novella 1/3

#fantasybook lovers and #fantasywriters Help me name this genre. I have a few stories that deal with magi searching for spiritual awakening. They take place in a world where magic is dangerous and morally gray, not the epic, powerful magic of Tolkien, or the whimsy of Ghibli. But it's also... 1/2

Do you picture someone when you write a character? This was who was in my head as I was writing another character for the a Briar story. XD #fiction #writing

Meet Briar, the mysterious forest-dweller who wears scars that should not be survivable. At day they forage, cook, wash and garden. At night, they hunt. Most people who set foot in the forest will likely lose that foot, if they are lucky. 1/2 #manywintersbriar #darkfantasy #erotica #novella

nimphradora.itch.io/many-winters... Revised edition is out. More flesh(ed-out), more spice, almost twice the length. Now we feel the story is truly worth whetting one's appetite for. Only thing that didn't increase is the price. ;) #manywintersbriar #darkfantasy #erotica #novella

Many Winters' Briar is getting an update! We'll be releasing it very soon. Until then, we'll tantalize you with a few tasty paragraphs here and there, and of course a profile of the titular Briar. Asks are also open on tinyurl.com/24ek4uvf #darkfantasy #novella #erotica #manywintersbriar

Meet Arden, the hapless mercenary who did what everyone says you should never do: chase a fae into the woods. A longer snippet with more sordid details about Arden is available on our ko-fi/patreon. #manywintersbriar #dark fantasy #erotica #novella

Like Vyn would say, "Simple, yes. Simple as being thrown from a cliff with your hands tied." Review for #theremainder #cot #cottr #taldun #darkfantasy #visualnovel #amare #otome

We shamelessly "borrowed" from Mucha to make this cover art for Many Winters' Briar. Felt like it took longer than the writing. Maybe next time I just put a paragraph that DESCRIBES the cover on it? Backers get hi-res image. #darkfantasy #erotica #lgbtqfiction

"Keep making art. There's an audience for it. And we're glad to have you." A super supportive not-review-but-really-a-sort-of-love-letter-but-not-love-as-in-eros-but-love-as-in-pure-unadulterated-goodwill letter from Vampires Suck. #cottr #taldun #theremainder

Ok, I know the internet is 99% noise and 1%, whatever it is. But I need this, ok? I'm declaring this the 1%. #TheRemainder is part of #TheStorytellersFestival and is on sale. If you were waiting for your chance to be scarred, then healed(hopefully) deliciously, here you are. tinyurl.com/4c97yakk

We're working on this novella called Many Winters' Briar. It's very, very horny. Meanwhile a lot of our friends and test-readers are ase. But they give very good feedback. Not that I'm complaining, but, eh? Whoddathunk? #manywintersbriar #squareweasel #darkfantasy #fiction

Evin grew up in a little village at the edge of the magium. They loved to read, and dreamed of becoming a magus mender one day so they could heal their sickly sister Casi. But S'ruthrul had other plans for them. Keep your eye out for more Evin snippets and art soon! #cottl #thelonging #taldun

Look at the beautiful cover @zeddartha.bsky.social painted for my novella. <3 Arden and Briar turned out amazing. <3 <3 #illustration #romancenovel

May your esteemed eyeballs be enticed by this humble offering, by a taste of Chronicles of Taldun: The Remainder #interactivefiction #visualnovel #amaregame

Vyn and Ilar are trapped in a collapsing tower with their only hope for salvation being a difficult ritual. Or at least that is what Ilar claims. Their story makes less and less sense the closer you are to your goal. Are they hiding things to protect you or…? #visualnovel #interactivefiction
