#2WordPrompt 🪐📚 The tree still stands under an empty sky. There's no other plant. There's no life. There's no ground. The planet is dust since long ago. There's no star. They blinked away into the nothingness. Thus, it begs the question: how deep do those roots go?

Most people would rejoice, though a bit alarmed that someone would be able to do that. However, his wife would go berserk and well -let's just say it'd be a surprise if the city would stand after.

#QueerPrompts Disabilities mentioned are due to magic powers, and since they're very different, chaos ensues. I have a telepath sent to an asylum to control the voices in her head and a fainting teleporter (transport costs a lot of energy). It's 50/50 self-medication and relying on magic healers.

Lusi can see ghosts. And that’s only the beginning of her problems. In this queer MG fantasy novel, she joins her sister, a ghost girl and some dragons on an adventure halfway across the world to learn about her unusual magic. 🌈📚 books2read.com/u/b6J2E0 vriccithode.itch.io/the-young-ne...

I still think about characters I've made when I was 12. I consider them as the ancestors of the others- sometimes you see the family resemblance, sometimes outsiders pop.

#vss365 That is her real magic. Don't bother to chase this ghost, the furniture keeps her scent, the echos repeat her cries, every curtain imitates her touch, her memory is drilled into every brain, she stays in their dreams. #Linger. The only thing she does, the only thing she needs.

So about a year ago I wrote a thriller horror about Wisps from another dimension and pain and horror and also falcons and Hellstalkers and harps. As one does. #horrorwriterschat www.amazon.com/Wants-Us-Ali...

#HorrorWritersChat A "N°12 just look like you" kind of story, with AI. Or becoming a host to a mind-parasite. Or forced transformation into something not human, nor animal- and it's starving.

#HorrorWritersChat She counted the patients getting out one by one, refusing to lay her eyes on the consent form: “Minor effects include legs off, visions of the horrors from the void, transformation into a cockroach, and bills.” She was the only one who stayed in the waiting room. No choice left.

#HorrorWritersChat It’s in the waiting, the forced or dubious consent of The Procedure, the feeling of helplessness when not being heard by the Dystopia Doctors, strapped to the operating table or reduced to a thing made of meat no matter what you'll say or do. It’s the dehumanization.

#HorrorWritersChat Hi! Current WIP is a horror-comedy but I also wrote psychological horror with a fairy tale vibe. Honestly, unless my body had a unique Thing who could save the human race from disaster or something, none of them. Trust issues.

Thank you so much!! Here’s The Claws of the Ounce, my urban fantasy novel featuring (controllable) therianthropy as a metaphor for feeling you can’t trust yourself (as the result of internalizing psychological abuse). parisvivian.itch.io/the-claws-of-the-ounce

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my newest book? In FAMILIAR, two sisters hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women. ghoulish.rip/product/fami...

Somehow I manage to overexplain AND skip facts the reader must know. It's tricky to manage juust the right amount of information.

The ambition of the current WIP is to make the silliest book I can manage, but the main theme is probably: everyone can (and will) fuck up, everyone can change for the best.

#QueerPrompts Finally read The left hand of Darkness, and yep, that's just as good as people said, and- many many books on-going. The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared was also a favorite; it's just as good as absurd, which is telling.

Thanks, Mary! My collection Blood Garlands is out now: travisdjohnson.net/books/blood-... I've also edited a volume of Manly Wade Wellman classics which be available next month! #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Um, I don't play a lot but Amnesia The dark descent is so important to me. Fave horror author is Edgar Poe of course. I've also recently read The Lottery and I loved how neatly it pains the mundane horror of blind obedience and the power of rituals.

#HorrorWritersChat During a game my character got thrown out the window (though he survived). Cue a novel about cosmic horror and abuse.

#HorrorWritersChat Hi! I currently work on a horror-comedy. Not sure if it’s that unhinged, but automatic writing inspired by a random word does give out some interesting results.

#vss365 It was with much #diligence that he trained them; he made them jump, run, sweat, endure. How proud he was when they fought until the bitter end. It was with the same #diligence he dug their grave.

#QueerPrompts The plot is built on how the connections between the characters (or lack of) impacts themselves and their surroundings, for better or for worse.

#vss365 The #evenfall came crashing down on the grass, the mountains, the oceans, the whole continent. It came in waves, swallowing continent after continent in an orange glow that shone like a forest fire before turning into darkness. That was the last time that planet was ever seen again.

Ya know, micro-fiction is really hard and I'm probably not very good at it, which tells me I have to give it a try.

#SpoonieAuthChat If they love/like each other (any kind of love), miscommunication issues creeping in. If it's teeth-clenched teamwork, a better understanding or the acknowledgement of some useful skill that can make things better between each other- or much, much worse.

#QueerPrompts Transitions! Passing smoothly from a scene to another is a bit of a nightmare. Scenes that hit too close to home are also hard emotionally... and I also really need to get better at fighting scenes.
