I just Google swearwords and adapt them! Very Tolkeinesque.

How much of it makes it into your books?

This is massively over my head but I think it's interesting.

The pitcher plant reached out long tendrils and dragged her in. Nectar engulfed her, filling her throat with a smothering flood that stopped her scream. ##writesky #flashfiction #writing

Fifty word fantasy, terrify The branches rustled and a huge leaf, veined with purple, swayed above Uan like a cobra. Uan screamed, terrified, and turned to run.

My current novel WIP began as a Road to El Dorado fanfic called Flowers to the Drum. Three years later, it's changed completely, but it's still about a priest losing his faith. Short WIP is mess of Beowulf, Nausicaa and the last scene of Sympathy for Lady Vengeance with the cake. #pretendpanel

I'm envious! Don't live in the USA, but maybe I will get to a convention at some point.

Don't walk, but RUN to your closest cemetery to unearth a copy of @woodenvelt.bsky.social 's novel Thief of Death! Combining the odd-couple romance of T Kingfisher with the respect for the dead of Katherine Addison's Cemeteries of Amalo, it's a pleasure from the graveyard meet-cute to the end!

Nah, it was a fanfic with an awesome weasel character. But I still write plenty. Maybe I should do some!

Chugata plays a spear- throwing game like badminton. Narakal plays stones and counters reasonably well, which are a bit like chess. The Tsin play a similar game much more seriously to teach kids military tactics, which is why Ysel is beating Narakal in the picture below! ##OctoberWorldbuilders

The Akapana's oldest mud-brick temples are little more than crumbling hills from outside, but the rooms inside are so well-preserved temple priests take school trips there every year to teach kids about the bad old days. Tenan isn't Akapana and he's NOT in his comfort zone. #OctoberWorldbuilders

The Akapana live in a desert where it very rarely rains, so they're used to preserving water. They have much more of a problem with rain, which overwhelms their canals and reservoirs, ruins their fields and melts their mud-brick houses. Thanks for the prompt! #OctoberWorldbuilders

It would have to be Jesper Kyd for his work on the first AC soundtrack, specifically City of Jerusalem. Thanks for the prompt! share.google/Jq1ZspAjE6Rj... #LitHodgepodge

Writing Brian Jacques fanfic when I was twelve because it always pissed me off how all the weasels were evil! And badgers are omnivores so like how does that even work? Anyway I like weasels? #pretendpanel

50 word fantasy, listen They approached the decaying giant cautiously as any fallen beast, staring at their reflections in its glazed eyes. Cathay stroked the monster's rusted shell and paused. "Listen!"

Glad you asked! The Akapan began as a small coastal settlement by a natural spring. They worshipped an earth god. Then invaders came and brought their spider god. They built canals and farmed. Many civil wars later, the two gods live in harmony. (Then the wind nation attack) #OctoberWorldbuilders

Akapana deserts have many specialised plants that my characters don't know the name of, but they're famously full of cacti and not much else. Their seas are incredibly rich. (Here is a map) #OctoberWorldbuilders

Thr Akapana build all their structures from adobe bricks, ranging ftom impressive stepped pyramid-temples to one room huts. This causes problems when a rival god causes floods... (Another picture) #pretendpanel

The Akapana worship the gods of earth and water that make their desert city viable. They have a caste based society with fishers, farmers, artisans, warriors, priests and leaders. They trade by rowing reed rafts north on the currents, then letting the winds carry them home. (A picture)

KL Wooderson. @communi-kate.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Ooh, I missed this! And it's relevant to my WIP so here goes... Akapan is a coastal desert where it almost never rains! The cities depend on magical canals built by powerful gods. (Here is a picture of them)

50 word fantasy, rear Clouds shredded as the pegasi soared around the skytrack, chasing a thousand-sequin prize. Alenthe sprang from Whirlwind and dived onto Blossom. Blossom reared and Alenthe clung on, but the faery beside her tumbled down through the clouds.
