“That chandelier was a custom 84-light Olser; there are only three in existence. One in the Élysée Palace, one in a private vault in Switzerland, the one you managed to turn into wall filler.” She shook her head and then walked into the yard.

#WIPSnips 11.4.26 "Milk" I don't have milk, but I have cheese. In some form, that counts, right? From Garlic & Gunpowder, an action thriller about a set of mercenaries that team up with a set of vampire slayers to survive an apocalyptic LA.

Text that reads:
Hunter tsked and fired up the Barracuda.

His older brother ran a hand through his greasy blond hair, shoved a handful of cheese puffs in his mouth, and handed Hunter an energy drink. He took out the small business card from their “client” and flipped it over a few times.

“Alejandro Munoz,” he said, musing over the scrawled name of their hit. “What ’ya think he did?”

Hunter shrugged and pulled onto the road toward the on-ramp. “Or didn’t do,” Liam continued. He whistled and tapped the card against the palm of his cheese-dusted hand. “One point five mil. We ain't seen that much since the Pines-” He trailed off as Hunter white-knuckled the steering wheel.

Hunter swore he’d never go back to California — he couldn’t think about the state without seeing Eli’s eyes glaze over on the hotel floor. A million dollars was enough to soothe his older brother’s grief, apparently.

The antagonist in G&G doesn't see himself as evil to his own kind. He is a Vampire Lord who wants vampires to be the dominant species. He is ruthless to anyone who gets in his way. He sees humans as lesser than himself. So doesn't regret his actions against them. #AntagonistAprl #writesky

#WIPSnips 10.4.26 "Process" The only time it appears in this work. From Garlic & Gunpowder, an action thriller about zombie vampires taking over L.A. They are trapped in an elevator and trying to get out. #writesky #actionthriller #vampires #zombies#writingprompts

A black box over a smoke elevators with the text in red reading :“Looks like it’s up to me,” Hunter said in a harsh voice. The younger Hill walked over to his brother and grabbed a crowbar from the bag. He moved past Yelena and Erik, then jammed the bar between the doors.

They were heavy, and a vein pulsed in his neck as he strained against them. Erik walked over and grabbed the bar opposite him, and pulled. The doors inched open with a groan. The floor was a little more than halfway up the car, with another set of doors beyond. Hunter cursed, then he and Erik repeated the process.

#WIPSnips Jan 20th, "Troll" I don't have that so monster. Also from chapter 5, a few moments after my last snippet. Elias speaking with Asmodeus in his head. Bargaing to be healed. #writesky #romancewriter #post-apocalypse

A photo of a narrow staircase in a decayed building with text overlayed:
*Free me!*

"I wish I could exorcise you." Elias sneered. He was promised power, and power he got, but the cost was too high. Not just touch, but Adam's leash, and this cursed monster in his head. If only he could find a reprieve. "If you heal me, completely, I will give you free reign."

Amusement and satisfaction rolled through the smoke as if someone ran a hand through dust in a sunbeam.

I *will lead the blind.*

A screen shot reading
The wagon rumbled down the ancient interstate. Nothing more than a flattened line cutting through the wilds. Despite a century of neglect, the places the old ones had carved into hills and mountains were clear. Like a giant had stepped on them and left a trail. Slabs of asphalt still remained. With tall grass growing through them. Some upturned; while others crumbled under foot.

January 17th – gold Fox is looking to purchase some information about an ancient draconic temple that is, for some reason, very lively all of the sudden. #DawnsBlood #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

As the bag hit the table with a jingle, a single coin popped free and rolled away. Fox reached out and retrieved the coin, toying with it idly, letting it roll across her fingers.
“So, do you have something for me?” she asked.
The young man watched the tumbling coin, mesmerized by the candlelight flickering off the gold piece.
“What were you asking about again?” he murmured, clearly distracted.
“Trissilver Yssala. The Deep Valley Temple. Does that name mean something to you?”
“Well, like my friend told you, I am on my way there, ma’am.”
“I am hoping, for the sake of your purse, that you have more to give me.”
“Of course, of course,” the page replied hastily. “That is where they are holding the event. The master and the mistress were invited, but the mistress has taken ill. So, they sent me to return the invitations, with their apologies.”
“Now, here is where I get confused, P’ero. You arrived in town 2 days ago. So, why haven’t you shifted to Cillvala yet?”
The youth blushed, hesitating.
Fox tossed him the coin. “This stays between us. No one else ever needs to know.”

#WIPSnips a little fantasy drabble today! On dwarfs, gold, and true value... #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

"GOLD

They say there's gold in the old dwarf tunnels.

That's... True, to an extent. There's gold to be found, for anyone willing to look hard enough. And the dwarfs don't hide it, not within their own tunnels. Statues, goblets, plates, all manner of objects are formed in gold!

But you'd be a fool to think that gold is valuable. If you take it, you can't sell it; any dwarf knows dwarf gold at a glance, and without the provenance to back it up, it's the quickest way to find yourself on the wrong end of a pickaxe!

No, better to stick to wood. The dwarfs value it far more, but couldn't tell an oak desk from a trestle table."

These were the thoughts roiling through all four brains of Zepple, a Vielkopf that was considered a genius even amongst his own intelligent kind. Logical, practical, and assured, he'd seen many the universe had to offer, and seemingly had an answer for everything.

However, every synapse in his brains nearly short-circuited as he saw the familiar ship of the lone human in his employ begin the docking process, several megatons overweight. And the reason why was towed behind them via a very struggling tractor beam that looked ready to fizzle at any moment.

Four sets of eyes blinked as his throats ran dry. His intercom buzzed.

"Uh...Zepple?"

"Speak." replied the Vielkopf in a cracked whisper.

"Human Amos is back."

"Yes."

"They, um...there's...there's...a space whale in their tractor beam."

Her bemused face must have clicked in his brain. He laughed. "My assistant, my lacky. I say fetch, you fetch."

"Does that mean I am free to roam the wagons?" Sam asked.

"No." He said. "You know better than that." Elias waved her on as another coughing fit took hold of him.

I had to branch out a bit for this one! This is the intro to a new WIP called Demon in a Bottle. In a world that runs on the magic of bottled demons, Millie is a freelance demon trapper, until she takes a risk that turns her life upside down. #WipSnips #DemoninaBottle #WritingCommunity

“I’ll give you three cogs for each of the waters and two cogs for the wind.” Jun leaned against the counter, his palms on either side of the wooden crate. Hair, dark and straight as an iron shaft, fell into his eyes as he inspected the rows of clay jars nestled inside.

“What about the dirt demons?” Millie crossed her arms and gave him a shrewd stare from beneath the broad brim of her straw hat. Her haggling face. She still remembered when Jun had been a grease boy, lower than the slag caked on a smelter’s boots. A crisp white shirt and a foreman’s apron wouldn’t intimidate her into taking less than her wares were worth.

“Best I can do is a lug a piece.” Jun shrugged like it was out of his hands.

“Last time you paid three.”

“Yeah.” Jun scoffed, tossing his hair out of his eyes with a shake of his head. “And after you left, the floor manager threatened to dock my pay if I wasted good money on sludgers again.”

Millie could tell Jun was dead set on the price by the tense line of his shoulders and the stubborn jut of his chin. She’d have to try a softer approach.

“Come on, Jun-Po.” Leaning forward, Millie pushed the brim of her hat up so Jun could see her wide, pleading eyes. “I can’t ride out Stormtide on this.”

She didn’t even have to fake the quiver of worry in her voice. Jun’s shoulders slumped on a heavy sigh. He wouldn’t go up to three lugs, not after getting dressed down by the floor manager, but maybe she could pry two out of him by stirring up the ghosts of better days.

No.

It ran up his face. Back into the wound, with a creak, his skull popped out, as though the injury hadn't happen. He looked at her with two iron spheres where his eyes should have been. A rust colored tear ran down his cheek.

Gabe 🏳️‍⚧️🦇 Eden Hollow OUT NOW!! @theeldervampire.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Sterling was hired to kill a witch. Elias needs the hunter's help to save his forest. Avery struggles to conceal his love for another man & an awakening strange magic. And all three are being targeted by a cult. "The Witch of Eden Hollow," a 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 queer fantasy romance. #BluePit📖 #W #A #F #R #TR #LGBT

This spread has the title, "The Witch of Eden Hollow," on the top, the pitch on the left, and comparisons with explanations on the right. They are all set against an autumnal background.

Pitch:
Inquisitor T. Sterling is hired by the pious town of Eden Hollow to hunt down the witch that commands an ancient forest called The Elder Grove.
Reclusive, guarded, and untrusting, Elias finds with dread that the only way he can save his forest (and himself) from an untimely demise is to work with the hunter that was hired to kill him.
Within Eden Hollow, Avery Miller struggles with the town's restrictive Puritan values, forced to hide his love for another man and a sudden magical ability that manifests within him.
As their lives intertwine and tensions rise, secrets that were desperately locked away seep through the cracks, and what they find very well may destroy them.

A screenshot of a written passage that reads: "A monster." Gabe said. His eyes rolled into his head, replaced with two spheres of dull gray, mottled with red and brimming with orange tears. He groaned and slumped forward. His skin started flaking onto the dusted carpet. Like an insect shedding.

She moved until she was pressed against the cracked wall. The creature that had been Gabe lurched forward. Six long iron tendrils burst from his back, rusted from old blood and slick with a fresh coat. They drove down into the floor, catching his body from falling. Jagged spikes tore his mask from his mouth. A metal maw that snapped open and shut with loud clicks.

"Is this the monster you wanted?" A voice reverberated in Sam's head.

The word "tendrils" is highlighted in purple.

I'm late but I figured I should still do this. HI! I'm Elle. I'm unpublished and aspiring to change that. While I've been dabbling in writing since I was 14, I've only started to seriously write in the last 4. Applying the craft and learning more about it every day. , #BluePitHype #writer #intro

Sam loves to feel the wind. Riding her horse over barren landscapes and discovering the ruins of the old world. She hordes family photos that survived the end of the world. Seeing what life was like before demons took over the world.

Sam is afraid of a cage. Not like Eowyn, but she is afraid of losing her freedom. She faces this fear by allowing herself to be sucked into the Seraphim cult, to get what she needs, but is afraid that she will be trapped. Afraid she will choose to stay trapped.

Sam is proud of her ability to survive. She was able to survive for 15 years wandering the wild wasteland. Evading capture by raiders and bandits. Hunting to eat and trading with settlements. She always manages to catch herself before hitting the bottom.

#WIPSnips 1.10 "fifth". From the first draft of Revenant Seraphim, an adult post-apocalyptic, supernatural romance. Didn't have "fifth" so you get "five" #writer #romance #postapocalypse

Written passage that reads:
She could run in a straight line to the trees growing along a river north of them. But she couldn't tell if that distance was two miles or five. Long grass blurred shadows and hid gullies that appeared out of nowhere. Sam would break her fool neck trying.

No, running now would dumb. The humiliation of being carried back like a sack of grain made her cheeks burn. She agreed to this insane escape plan; she needed to stay.
