    Does anyone write Dark Fantasy? Tell me what yours look like.

    🫥

    I don’t know? I never really thought about it as DARK Fantasy. But, based off my understanding, that probably does fit?

    I guess my current WIP is dark fantasy? @this-is-not-an-alien? Is Lost City of Dragons – Burn’s story – Dark Fantasy?

    I know that Dungeon Punk is one of the genre names I’ve stumbled across. But I’m not intentionally doing that?

    Oh well.

    Do you have Christian themes or allegories for Christ?

    Depends on the work. Right now both my main WIPs have clear allegories for Christianity.

    Um, aren’t all themes Christian? By virtue of us all being Children of God? How to you define Christian Themes? Can’t answer that very well until I know.

    Is there always a bright ending? Do you always end with hope?

    I am fundamentally a hopepunk writer so you better believe there is hope. It’s a bloody-knuckles hope, most times though. Sometimes faint. But that’s what I HAVE to write, ya’know?

    Do you include go deep into the shadows, or do you make sure to keep it on the lighter side?

    Again, depends on the work. Lately I’ve been diving deeper into shadows, and coping with sarcastic narrators. (It’s. Almost. Like. MY. Coping. Mechanism. Is. Sarcasm. Who knew?)

    If it doesn’t have some kind of uplifting message, will it be accepted among Christians?

    Is God calling you to write to Christians though?

    And I don’t actually know? I’m not writing to a Christian market. That’s not specific enough for me. I use the one-reader method to find out my audience. Have you heard of it?

     

    Ah. Anyway, hi! Nice to meet you!
