The Wheel of Time X Shaman King = SUCCESSOR "While the Chosen One saves the world, how will Cyrus save the Chosen One?" Features: 🫂Strained friendship ⛵️Adventure around the world 🔍Hunting for a missing god 💪Rulers behaving badly 👻Spirit-powered magic #questpit #w #a #f

A quick guide for the epic fantasy "Successor," by Jason Krell. It reads: A world of Spirits and Gods, and power run rampant. Ever since childhood, Cyrus only wanted to live a life of heroism far from home. But when her only friend is cursed to be a vessel for the absent Creator’s unstable power, the search for answers about how to set things right thrusts Cyrus into a world of dangerous rulers, haunting spirits, and scheming gods. It comps to The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty for its world spanning adventure and A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde for its spirit meddling and magic. It also features a snippet from the story: “Cyrus reached out for Layla’s limp hand and squeezed all her determination into it. No matter the odds, she would figure out a way to save her. Cyrus had promised her father they would come home together.”

216,059 words. An absurd amount, but I did it. The final chapter is done. I wrote a book.

I’m so close to finishing my first draft. It feels a little silly to be 34 and getting excited when this is really a long overdue goal I’ve wanted since I was 12. But late is better than never!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

"On one whirlwind night, Cyrus' dearest friend is cursed with the unstable power of a God and kidnapped by a dark stranger. Now, she must follow along and find a way to free her friend from her burden as the chosen one to save the world from another apocalypse." #PosterPit #W #F #A

A young woman walks a lonely road with sword in hand and the setting sun behind her. The text on this movie-style poster reads: “Successor.” The tag line says “How do you save the chosen one while standing in their shadow?” At the bottom, it says “an epic fantasy adventure by Jason Krell.”

Every time I think about how my manuscript's word count makes it basically DOA for querying, I get sad. But then I remind myself this first book has always been about proving I can finish something. That helps a little.

Reached the end of act 2 in my WIP manuscript. Already have entirely too many words, but I’m proud to have gotten this far. I’m so close to finally finishing something after chasing that feeling for 20 years.

The price of Final Fantasy sealed is insane right now. This space needs more journalists because someone should be covering how absurd it is

I’m being so unfortunately for real right now… where is the post Magic Con Love Island watch party happening? 👀

Jason Krell @krellitlikeitis.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Can't wait for MagicCon Vegas in a few days. I'm bringing way too many decks, but only a couple each day to the show. Also, I don't really know anyone there all that well and I no longer have Card Kingdom employee to fall back on as social lubricant. So. If you wanna hang, I'm there!

Jason Krell @krellitlikeitis.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Feeling a little bummed about not really knowing anyone at Magic Con: Vegas. It’s my birthday gift to myself and while I’m sure I’ll find games during the day, I have a feeling I’m gonna be on my own every night.

What a fucking BANGER of a chapter I just got done with 😩 And the climax continues. These next few are going to RIP!

I’m right at the act 2 climax of my manuscript and all I want to do is take the week off to jam that shit all day every day 😭

Chapter 24 in the books (er, the draft?)! Officially 120,000 words. I hope I’m done soon…

I need to end up on author/agent/editor-sky. I wanna be ready to hit the ground running once I’m ready to query 👀

Jason Krell @krellitlikeitis.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

111,000 words of my manuscript finished. I really need to wrap this up soon for the sake of querying...

I need to find the other fiction writers scattered across gaming/esports journalism and PR. We need to start a writing/critique group.

I cracked a gorgeous foil Rishadan Port at Magic 30 almost 3 years ago, and the time has come to find it a new home. Kids are expensive. Message if interested!

Might be the moment I transition heavy into Bluesky. With TikTok gone, deleted all my other socials at least until it’s back.

It's the holidays, so I'm looking for extra work to make them more magic for my family. If anyone needs someone to edit their words, I'm happy to help that copy shine. I do fiction, non-fiction/journalism, academic writing. 15 years experience! DM for details. RTs appreciated!

Jason Krell @krellitlikeitis.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

I have thought about it. And as much as I adored season 2, I think the story would have been so much better if Arcane had another season to flesh out the middle a bit more.

The only reason I haven’t moved here full time over X is because I still hadn’t found a lot of my favorite peeps on the platform. But just did a big search and found lots, so the impending deactivation inches ever closer…

For all the way overpowered stuff that gets added to Pokemon VGC each generation, I feel like we don’t give the devs enough credit for the banger additions that are more subtle.

The fun thing about opening this app for the first time in more than a year is I’m now over 100K words. Still got a bit more to do though!

I should really put more effort into building up this space…

Finding a game my wife likes brings me so much joy. It's difficult at times because she likes a particular kind of VIBE, but I just nailed it again with Pikmin 4. Can't wait to watch her enjoy it :)

Chapter 3 wrapped, 12k words in! Feels so good to be writing again and I can’t wait to finally break new ground after chapter 4 is done.

This article makes me sad and brings up so many thoughts. Media in general, but media specifically, has the downward pressure of so much bullshit keeping it from thriving. And no one cares enough to change. t.co/IE61EfwgBG
