Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Today, your character has taken over the writing process! They have time to write themselves one scene (not plot pivotal) where everything goes just as they want! What type of scene are they writing? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SeptemberWorldBuilders #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts I love to see subversion of old tropes but done respectfully to the cast, reflective cultures (Queer, BIPOC, Disabilities), and without excess cynicism or no-hope. Gotta keep hope.

Please try to remember, the 1st of #Octember! We'll be hosting a ridiculous, nonsensical prompt game for October for drunken party game bullshit questions, and including various insane interludes of our skeletal host, Satchel Cumberland. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
#Octember

A month long series of non-sensical
promps abou your characters and stories!

This is deliberately unplanned nonsense. Expect drunk party game questions about things like how your characters would take on Godzilla, what a monster would employ them for, what fae creatures would find them hot... Etc.

“Oh.”  Patty’s voice wavered with an uncommon uncertainty. “Well, I mean not all Acolytes marry.  Some of them take Vows of Celibacy, unless drafted of course but there hasn’t been a population issue in years so maybe…”  An embarrassment simmered in her own cheeks.  Nat noticed how her skin turned a darker green, similar to how hers turned from lavender to purple.  What color holy flame would Patty’s hair become if she immolated.  A dark green skinned Deva with flowing golden fire hair.  Imagine that. Imagine if they both immolated at the same time and their green and purple hues mixed with golden and white fire. They would be so…

Doing her best and failing to ride the wave of self-loathing, Nat pulled the final book over from the stack.  If she had to go to bed soon and suffer through half-sleep and nightmares, she may as well try to have some results to show for the evening.  She thumbed through the yellow paper cover, depicting a young half-elven woman strumming a harp as she rested in a field.  Motes and threads of colored light swirled around her as she looked up hopefully at the sky. Cunningham’s Heart of Eitos: A young witch’s primer, was etched in a flowing elven font across the top. She sighed. A primer. For kids. Wasn’t she past this? Why was she having to start, not only at the beginning, but at square fucking one?

Why couldn’t she get it together?

A sudden yank at the back of her dress pulled Natalyiah out of her Meditation alcove and across the cold marble floor of her room.  She watched as the pale blue Aasimar woman, that was her Nanny, spray a fire extinguisher on the cushions and flora that decorated the alcove.  She caught a glimpse of herself in the large mirror next to her closet.   Deep purple skin.  White hair flowing across the floor like the hottest flame.  Her brand new enchantments worked to piece together the past few minutes.  Everything that happened without and within.  A single simple explanation found root in Natalyiah’s soul.

It finally felt purpose in that hunger.  In that endless loop of song.  It felt its purpose in the Weave.  More importantly, it heard its own voice louder than the millions that milled around the chorus.  It could hear the fear in those voices that wanted the Weave to ignore it.  She could hear the complacency in those lost in the entrancing refrain.  She could feel a million burning eyes from above admire her with cold purpose, burning empathy, and coy silence.  If the rest were content to wait, then so be it.  If the rest were too scared to be chosen, then It…no…She!  She would take her turn.  She would join the weave she would sing loudly as…

The up and downside to having characters you write that are linked to communities or cultures you take part in, is you see things like this and go "Dammit! Now I got a slice of life story idea!" All I'm saying is,Tiff and Zaya would child leash Nat and take her wallet. everout.com/seattle/even...

The euphoric atmosphere of the galactic garden they were wandering deeper into released its hold on her for a moment.  They were so close to the mirror.  Nat’s reflection revealed how close she was to turning dark purple again. The tips of her hair flickered like fire, and her divine arms had changed from silver to blinding white light.  The more her father spoke, the more her spark demanded retribution.  It demanded justice.  No.  She wanted revenge for taking her away.  For killing her.

An impulse came up in Vola’s mind, and she swallowed it with great effort. It’s not about you, Vee. It’s about her, and Waffles. “If…if you wanted, maybe then you could take Waffles and ask with Zaya or Tiff if you could stay with them for the last two weeks. And I can stay in the apartment. Or…” she paused, then made herself continue, “maybe see if Ceres is around and if you could s-stay with her.”  As soon as she’d said Ceres’ name, Vola wished she could take it back, but wasn't it worth it to have Nat sleep in safety? Wasn’t she just being….selfiish? The thought left her twisted inside beyond words, but if Nat really wanted to…to sleep next to someone else...then Vola should be happy for her. Right?

“Oh, I’m pretty sure your little lackey here covered the basics.” The Fire Genasi was not one to mince words on a good day, and this was far from that. Her crimson skin and close-cropped purple hair practically glowed with indignation. Her black suit jacket, slacks, and heels were perfectly tailored, but the fireproof cloth seemed to strain with the excess heat it was being asked to contain. In her hand she held a briefcase. The handle creaked with heat. “I’ve been trying to reach you for the last day and a half and I don’t take kindly to being stonewalled. So I figured I’d come here myself and see exactly what’s so important that you can’t keep your cell on you.”
