Hi Cathy! Your work sounds so intriguing!! I’m so happy to hear where you stand on Dark Fantasy. So I’m not alone, then?? 😅Thanksssss.
Oh noooo you are not alone!!! Lemmie find like @rose-colored-fancy @irishcelticredflowercrown and @calidris – you do dark fantasy right? – and my sister @hannahrenner and @brian-stansell and I think a buncha others. You’ll find tons of people who love dark themes in a Christian light here like any mature thing from lgbtq+ topics to suicide/self-harm topics to S/A topics and just about anything that’s dark and controversial you can think of (I am totally not a part of every single one of those😅✌️)
So yeah you are not alone and you should have a pretty big group of people willing to discuss those themes and topics and ideas (…probably as soon as school’s out that’s when things are a little more active I think…)
My WIP is a short story (possibly novelette depending on where the ending lands) about a teen boy who enters the dark, forbidden woods where monsters lurk who used to be human. I may post a link on here once it’s completed?Oh sweet!! I’d love to read that!!
What about yours?Mine’s a 5-year-old novel series that I started when I was 13 (yeesh what kinda morbid weirdo kid was I? 😜) about a fugitive prince with C-PTSD escaping a cult that exploits people with special powers while following a puzzle series of blotted out history into an ancient religion that might have the key to saving the world!!!
*out of breath pause*
Well that’s the really simplified version XD (I’m never gonna finish it it’s too awesome in my head and too blah on paper😭😭😭)
But yeah! That’s me!!
