Originally wanted to do something more classic, but I ended up writing something else entirely. Link to SnipFic: open.snipfic.com/snipfic/VmXB... #microfiction #SnipFic #writing #horror

Prompt: The villain was right all along.

My response: She stares at me with her suffocating love. Her digusting beauty radiating light that burns my skin like paper. I scream as I scramble to escape it.

You are one of us.

"No! No, I am not a creep! I am not one of you demons!"

My skin peels, revealing the nauseating beauty and deceiving light hidden deep within me. "No, this isn't me. I am normal. I am normal!" I repeat those words over and over again, paralyzed. There must be a cure for these unnatural feelings!

She extends a hand to me. And smiles.

What is normalcy?

I immediately knew what to write when I saw today's prompt. Link to the snipfic: open.snipfic.com/snipfic/kdMX... #writing #writingprompt #flashfiction #SnipFic

Prompt: You wake up in a fictional world you've created.

When I open my eyes, the first thing I see is a monochromatic cartoon hare standing in front of me with her back turned.

"Mel."

She turns around. Her eyes widen. "You... You're real?!" she exclaims. "No, that can’t be. This has to be a dream. It's a dream, right? Right?!" A twisted smile appears on her face; her uncharacteristic laughter sends a chill down my spine.

"No," I say, petrified. "This is real."

She freezes, her smile erased. Her glare pierces me as ink crawls around her fist to form a blade.

"You sadist. Why did you make me?"

Tried something more comedic today: open.snipfic.com/snipfic/hl71... #writing #flashfiction #SnipFic #writingprompt

Prompt: For 24 hours each year, every country goes to war.

"Oh Great Rat!" says our leader. "Who is the best country in the world?"

He's kneeling before an altar on which sits a chihuahua, its crown so big its whole tiny body fits in it. "Wah!" it says with exotropic eyes.

Our leader turns to the others. "See? My country is the best!"

"Nonsense!" another leader says. "He said mine was the best!"

Our leader jumps on him, and they exchange blows, soon joined by the others.

And that's how, every single year, on the same day, we all go to war.

What have we done to deserve such leaders?

Finally got to create a SnipFic account! Here's the first story I posted there: open.snipfic.com/snipfic/LkH6... #writingprompt #SnipFic #writing

Prompt: It's finally time to return to your homeland... with an army.

Screams of terror echo behind us. The baker and her delicious canelés; the amethyst-loving blacksmith; the retired local shopkeeper. As I walk the forest path, my minions marching behind me, I realize I never knew their names depite my youth spent here.

We halt before the gate, the great manor looming over us. My hands tremble as I draw my sword from its sheath. I can finally keep my vow. I can finally do what I should have done years ago.

I will save my sibling from that monster. No matter the cost.

The world is healing. Why not her? Excerpt from Book 1 of Amniland, still a WIP. #darkfantasy #animalfantasy #booksky #writing

As Mel walked away, she stopped in her tracks, her gaze turning to the other toons in the park. They were having fun, talking and yelling and laughing. Some hugged, others kissed. Some rode attractions or played games, others ate treats. For a brief moment, a smile made its way on the hare's face. There once was a time when such things did not exist. When smiles were scarce; when screams muffled laughs. They had gone through so much, and yet there they were, acting as if it had all been just a bad dream.

Why can't I do the same?

And here are the protagonists! (2/2)

A white, anthropomorphic cartoon hare with a slightly rubberhose-like design, standing on the tip of her feet. She has black bead eyes and spots that look like ink splatter, which cover half of her left ear, left arm and tail. The fingers of her right hand are also black. Her right ear is drooping, whereas her left one is bent, and both have two cuts at the tip. She wears gray pants and has a big, filled inkpot strapped to her back. Next to her is her name: "Mel O'Hare".

An anthropomorphic cartoon cat with semi-long hair. She's white with pastel rainbow spots that look like splashes of paint. She wears a yellow wide-sleeved top, with a strap over the right shoulder which is exposed, and a red flounce skirt held by a ribbon with a bow in the back (similar to a kimono). Next to her is her name: "Chroma Katteyl".

Introducing the upcoming first book of the Amniland series! Currently a WIP. (1/2) (Totally not reposting this because I accidentally posted the old blurb instead of the new one. Nope! That did not happen! You're lying!) #darkfantasy #animalfantasy #booksky #wip #writingcommunity

On top is the title, "Amniland", and the subtitle, "Book 1: The Cracks". Under the subtitle is a box containing the following list with emojis: Dark animal fantasy; cartoon world(s); anthropomorphic animals; ink and paint; dual POV; a (socially) anxious cat; a reclusive hare; a mysterious tragedy; a broken diarchy".

"The people of a small cartoon world have just left an era of tyranny behind them. But the nightmare may not truly be over.

Daughter of the late tyrant himself, and endowed with a psychic power she never asked for, Mel O’Hare is feared by her people. So she isolates herself in her manor, only to become the prime suspect of a tragedy that killed an entire village. The other co-ruler, Zorana Desmodus, offers to help her prove her innocence, on the condition she retrieves the family’s stolen heirloom.

Chroma Katteyl rarely leaves her small town of Eyeodin, staying close to her parents and her best friend. Because of her high empathy, she hides in her little bubble to preserve her mental health. But an unexpected connection with Mel triggers within her the urge to help the latter, forcing her to face an entity that has been hounding her for years.

Will the hare and the cat move forward despite the terrifying uncertainty? Or will they use "peace" as an excuse to turn back?"

Sorry, but it's AI. If you google-search the "artist's" handle, the texts in the results reveal their posts had AI tags, including the Midjourney tag. Their original IG account was deleted, but their new account (where they reposted some of their "art") has the Midjourney tag as well.

A screenshot of the @nyx.s.journey_ instagram account. The bio says "My meander travel with artificial intelligences. Strange worlds with their own gods. #mid-journey". At the bottom, there are painting-like AI images.

And this is Chroma Katteyl, a cat who is too empathetic for her own good. After sharing a metadream with Mel, she wants to help her the best she can. But first, she must overcome her social anxiety. And it starts with confronting a toxic friend.

A white, anthropomorphic cartoon cat with anime-styled hair, a green left eye and a blue nose. The hair hides her right eye and has pastel rainbow spots that look like splashes of paint. The left side of her hair is yellow, orange, red and pink, whereas the right side is white, green and blue. The part covering the eye is half-purple. There's a yellow spot on her floppy left ear, whereas a pink one covers half of her right ear. The three spots covering her entire tail go from yellow to brown to green. There's also an orange one covering her left foot and a brown one covering the other. She wears a yellow wide-sleeved top, with a strap over the right shoulder which is exposed, and a red flounce skirt held by a ribbon with a bow in the back (similar to a kimono).

This is Mel O'Hare, one of the two co-rulers of Amniland. Because of her psychic power and mutation, she had been isolating herself lest she hurt someone. Until one day, when she dared leave her manor, only to be suspected of killing an entire village.

A white, anthropomorphic, rubberhose-styled cartoon hare standing on the tip of her feet. She has black bead eyes, and black spots that look like ink splatters, which cover half of her left ear, left arm, and tail, as well as her right leg. The fingers of her right hand are also black. Her right ear is floppy, whereas her left one is bent forward. Both have two cuts at the tip. She wears gray pants and a big ink pot strapped to her back.

In an older draft of my first novel, Chroma and her mother (both cats) apparently turned into cars at some point. (Funny how I didn't catch that typo until the next draft).

A paragraph from my novel saying: "The older car gave the younger one a kiss on the cheek while serving her the morning meal with tea."

WIP. I've been practicing with anime-styled hair for Chroma.

Since it's October, might as well repost this pixel art I made for Halloween 2019. #pixelart #halloween #cat #pumpkin #jackolantern

Reposting a pixel art I originally made for the Pixel Dailies but didn't get to finish in time. The theme was #crow. #pixelart #pyxeledit

A pixel artwork of a crow at the window of a castle. The point of view is from the inside of the castle, which is completely black. There's some grass outside and a mountain not too far.

This is honestly one of the pieces I'm the most proud of so far. I still think it could have been better, though.

Hello! I'm Anna, and I'm a dark (animal) fantasy writer. Although my native language is French, I mostly write in English. I'm also a digital & pixel artist. I love cartoons, animals (wolves and corvids are my favorites), nature, music, and vintage stuff (especially from the early 20th century).

My OC, Chroma, who is an anthropomorphic cat, is lying on her bed. She's reading a book under the light of her bedside lamp.

Rambley the Raccoon (an indigo raccoon with a red bandana around the neck) looking at the viewer with a grin, arms and legs crossed. The background is a gradient of blue.

A pixel artwork of the sun rising behind the sea. The sunlight is reflected on the water and the sky is a gradient of orange.

A small pixel artwork of a human swimming to the surface, while a huge marine creature with sharp teeth is looking in their direction. Both the human and the creature are only shown as dark teal silhouettes. The background is a gradient of teal.
