What if the InkMark trophy was just a glass puzzle? Asking because I am scared of soldering all these pieces together.

Mini update! Historical Fiction has been added to the genre-crest! I know I’m stretching a bit, but it’s wings full of… quills. Which are at least a little more historical than pens 😶

The InkFoundry crest which represents the genres of the story it is assigned to. The historical crest has feathered wings worked into the usual octopus/tentacle design.

Does anyone know how long the Daily Science Fiction website has said 'Launching Soon?' I was about to take down their links on IF, (It took me this long because it made me sad) but now I'm stalling, hoping this is newish. I want so badly to get excited...

Heyo! Got a question in my inbox yesterday and I'm happy to clarify! It gave me a kick in the shins to start a glossary you can find here: inkfoundry.net/inkfoundrys-...

A screenshot of InkFoundry's glossary entry for the Amphekis classes

It reads, quote, Standard Amphēkis Classes:

M/M: a relationship between male characters.

F/F : a relationship between female characters.

F/M: a relationship between female and male characters.

NB/NB: a relationship between non-binary characters.

X/X: A broader amphēkis indicating a central queer relationship, where the specific genders are secondary to the queer nature of the bond.

Gender Inclusivity & Specification:
A foundational principle of this tag is that gender identity is paramount. The letters M and F refer to a character's gender, not their sex assigned at birth. This ensures the taxonomy is respectful, accurate, and aligned with the lived reality of the characters it describes.

Trans Women are Women: A character tagged with a narrative infix such as trans!woman is identified as F within an amphēkis. A relationship involving a trans woman and a cis man is categorized under the F/M amphēkis.

Trans Men are Men: Similarly, a trans!man is identified as M. A story about a trans man and a non-binary character would be categorized under an M/NB amphēkis. End Quote.
