It's that time of the year where I'm reading and reviewing books for SFINCS! First this year was The Seventh Sister by Millie Abecassis. A great first read! #booksky💙📚🪐 www.behindthepages.org/post/the-sev...

#WIPSnips Some of the secret passageways in the Good Thyme Inn are a bit narrow... Neither of these characters are actually claustrophobic, but this is the best I got for the word, lol. I'm sure someone could be claustrophobic in the passageway. Here, Aubergine takes Felli (Peaches) to safety.
Welcome to spooky week for #WIPSnips! The #WIPSnips word for October 26th is "claustrophobia" Remember, use synonyms, variations or ✨vibes✨ if you don't have the word! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#QueerPrompts My two published novels feature one of each MoKaM's MC is an intersex character who presents as femme for safety reasons (her world has a super-feminist society she has to travel through) MoLaB's secondary MC is trans nonbinary for the opposite reason: as an f-you to that society

#SFFChat Q3 Well, Grilled was quite literally a serial killer in his life, so if his world's afterlife worked on usual rules, that would get him condemned 😅 Buuut, he's a Fire elemental, and Flamboil's stance is basically "well, stick to your own realm and if you feel violent urges, take it to an
#SFFChat Q3: Your MC finds themself being punished and/or rewarded in the afterlife! What are they most likely to be punished and/or rewarded for? Feel free to use the seven deadly sins, if you like!
#SFFChat Q2 Yes, out of the six planes of the Pentagonal Dominion, one of them is Spiritua, the afterlife. Access to it is cut off from its neighboring planes to mortals. Only the dead can go through the portals to get there. My characters know for a fact that it exists.
#SFFChat Q2: Does your world contain an underworld or physical afterlife? Or, if not, do your characters believe in one?
#SFFChat Q1 Heyo, it's Erika, writer of Dark and Epic Fantasy Would it be cheap if I said my own? 😅 Big reason I wrote my fantasy world's afterlife the way I did is because I didn't really like the way it was represented anywhere else Otherwise, I'll say Haibane Renmei's setting for sleepy vibes
Hello, everyone! Steve, back again. #SFFChat Q1: Introduce yourself & share a favourite representation of the afterlife or underworld!
#AwesomeCharacters Honestly, most of the Good Thyme characters can be deathly serious when the situation calls for it. But simply due to your phrasing of "the adult in the room" I have to go with Shallot, the Big Mama and innkeeper. 😌
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Welcome to the Intermittent Character Award Ceremonies!👏 Where you choose who gets the superlative! Today's award goes to: the Most Serious! Who is the adult in the room? Please award them! 🥇 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#Octember Grilled would actually go full magical girl with short skirt, frills, lace, jewels, the whole thing. He'd be so cute. And he'd absolutely live it up. His element would be fire, but it would be green. His clothes would have a light green theme to go with his wrist fire. Very Mew Lettuce
Please try to remember the 23rd of #Octember! TODAY'S QUESTION: What would your character's "magical girl" transformation be? Would they dance around in sparkles and get new tights? Or seal themselves in armor and weapons bristling for a fight? 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
#WIPSnips Peaches thinks back to the time they were "rescued" (they're still in the middle of figuring out how they feel about it). This is also before their transition, so they're still going by she/her pronouns here.
The #WIPSnips word for October 23rd is "rattle" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Good morning #OctoberWorldbuilders! And tell me about some of the weirder, more obscure, or setting-specific jobs in your world? Got any wizards who get paid for their magic work? What other peculiar things can a person get paid for in your setting that they might not be able to do on today's Earth?
