#Septopolis D3 2/2: Outside the city/nation, the rising number of gyd worshippers has strengthened their magic, causing the mini-biomes from each district (weather/climate) to spill outside the city/nation (but never inward). Which is weird because the districts (w/climates) move once a year...

#Septopolis D3 1/2: One-Track City is located on a narrow strip of land, a temperate broadleaf forest as the inner oval (snowy winters, vibrant autumns, & summer greenery), but each district supports the weather from the culture that founded it. At the eastern end there are cliffs down to the sea.

#WIPSnips 9-3: Effective (switching to #postapocalypse poly adventure) Unstable Classifications, novella 1.5, set after Blasted Research books2read.com/blasted-rese... 🐟 fish out of water settling in ⛈️ getting used to weather ☕ slice of post-apoc life 🌈xe/xem Jules #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Unstable Classifications is a slice of life post apocalypse novella set between adventure books. (excerpt of WIPSnips for September 3rd 2026)

Jules wasn't thrilled
with the idea of galloping up the trails, but the rain was going to wash away anything else out here, so xe agreed that they needed to hurry.
"Do we split up? Will that be more effective?"
The question seemed to bother Li. He bit his lower lip very obviously, and there was concern etched with worry all along the lines of his face.
"No. We stick to the trail together. You're even worse at tracking than I am, so sending you off on your own won't be very helpful to either of us."

This book is being worked on by Coffee Quills - the cover is bright yellow-green and shows a person standing on a mossy tree branch several times bigger than xem.

I feel that if it's important to the character I've vividly imagining, I'll hear it, but still much rarer than seeing things.

#PretendPanel Sep 4th - Eh... if I hear anything, it's most likely to be dialogue. If not that, then possibly specific items in the background (train whistle, clock chiming on the hour, etc.) Almost never background noise like chattering in a cafe or cicadas (and other bugs).

... Virginia? I'm Florida born and raised (with a sprinkling of GA). Nearest city match is Miami, so that's right at least 😂 I really want to know where the heck "gumshoes" in my vocab came from for the shoes you wear in the gym... (my partner just looked at me & shook his head)

You talk most like someone from Virginia — about 45% of your answers match a typical resident.

The map of the USA shown has a lot of red and yellow areas in the south while the mid-north is very cold in blue.

#Septopolis D2: One-Track City (working city name) was a city/nation created by a group of dwindling gyds & the remains of their cultures they could save. This is the foundation of the entire series. I've enough carved out for a skeleton plot, but I need details (probably several sketches too)

#WIPSnips 9-2: Button *waggles eyebrows* Ooooh, could this be some found family foreshadowing for Alyce? 🤣 (It's good to point out that we don't know who adopts whom at this time) 🧬terraforming & genetic alternations 👽alien adoption ☕cozy, low stake vibes #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Dandelions & DNA a cozy sci-fi novel (excerpt of WIPSnips for September 2nd 2026)

Aylce had shoved her whole life into work, clawing and studying and applying every ounce of luck to be where she was. There wasn't a single thing she regretted about that either. Families just... weren't for her. She had the patience to slice DNA, terraform, and double check her work, but answering a child's thousands of questions through the day? Not to mention when they deliberated pressed buttons, screamed, broke things, and we complete assholes to be around.

"Absolutely not," she muttered to herself, shuddering.

Dandelions & DNA a cozy sci-fi novel (excerpt of WIPSnips for September 1st 2026)

She'd already thickened the little insect's hind legs to work against a slightly high gravity, and there was a single new antenna in the middle of its forehead, slightly higher than the others, to make sure raindrops popped and spread their weight over a larger area. In addition, similar in the way that it could detect wilted sunflowers an avoid them, she programmed along that sense to also detect emissions from gardens and stay away from them, the signal for "delicious all-you-can-eat buffet" chemically changing into "danger; do not approach!"
