Why do you summon me?
This link will take you to a good article by Flannery O’Conner that might help you sort through some of your conflict. It’s kinda funny I was just rereading this today. I think the Holy Spirit must have bonked me. 😄
The main point is that if you are pursuing the art that God put in…[Read more]

Thanks!
I’ll let the fellow into Alessio’s group. (: -

Sure, feel free to drop another character in. I’m sure Arsene would love someone else he could annoy.
I feel like if you were to drop another character in, it would be best to chose Alessio’s group, because they’re having the human/non-human talk. Plus, if you drop a character in the other group, you’ll be in the middle of a…[Read more]

Could I bring in someone else? 🙃
And if yes… which rooms/people would you like them to be dropped with..?

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?? 😅
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…[Read more]

Wait, what’s happening?!?!?!?!?
Before Sherlock could object, he had locked Nathair in the other room. Just lovely. If Nathair got out, Sherlock was certain he would kill him. Disobeying every command he gave, Sherlock’s body started walking to the throne.
NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!
He was not okay with this! NOT! Oh great, now h…[Read more]

Oh I love Dark Fantasy!!! I like writing psychological fantasy thrillers!!
Mine usually have some pretty dark and gruesome themes but it will have a very beautiful beautiful hauntingly hopeful ending (theoretically speaking 🫠)
But I like darker more complex deep stories and you’ll find people here who will chat about any topics and controversies…[Read more]

The room is so large it’s a cage.
So quiet.
The tiles are patterned black and white, thorny white and flowery black. Nathair closes his eyes and gives a soft laugh. Oh this brings back memories.
‘You’re very interested in keeping as many pieces as possible.’ It didn’t matter what strategy game he played with Alessio, the little boy was so int…[Read more]

Does anyone write Dark Fantasy? Tell me what yours look like.
Do you have Christian themes or allegories for Christ? Is there always a bright ending? Do you always end with hope? Do you include go deep into the shadows, or do you make sure to keep it on the lighter side?
Dark Fantasy has always been what my soul bleeds.
I quit. I quit trying to…[Read more]

[@this-is-not-an-alien, You enter the door.]
[The room is large – almost unfathomably so. Pillars reach to the roof, each shaped like thorny vines. They support a roof so far above you that it is shrouded in shadow, except for the occasional dim light from rose-shaped lanterns. The marble under your feet resembles a chess-board. Each white tile h…[Read more]

What just happened? Did Sherlock just witness a homicide? Hmm… Looming over the body, Sherlock investigated. Needles, that was the murder weapon. Considering that Arsene hated needles, this Nathair person might come in handy.
Wait, the body moved. The person was still alive. Augh, choices, choices, choices…
[Sherlock sits on the throne,…[Read more]

Great.
Nathair crosses his arms and frowns at the stone throne with every fiber of sarcasm in his being.
Then he glances at the shadowy figure pacing.
Nathair approaches the figure and stabs him through the chest with a needle.
“Oops.” He smirks at the corpse before he walks up to the velvet throne and just starts stabbing the cus…[Read more]

[You approach the throne despite the uncertainty. You are correct in assuming that uncertainty abounds with any decision you make.]
[As you get closer, you see a streak of light fall behind the throne – a door has cracked open just a bit. Barely anything. But in the darkness of the room, this thin sliver of light shows … things perhaps better l…[Read more]

“Sherlock’s the same age as me, but I was born first.” Arsene said with the definite satisfaction of someone who bested his brother in something stupid. “I’m sure I’ve mentioned this at least once, but I’m not human. I’m a dragon hybrid. Hence, I’m not obligated to follow the basic aging process.”
No, you never mentioned that before!?!

The story shifts with a snap like the strings of a marionette at the end of a play.
Nathair finds himself in an empty, stone room silent as death.
A soft clip clop echoes louder and louder as the world bends.
And there is a stone throne ahead. So clean so large, but Nathair remembers when it was bloody, latched with chains that clicked and…[Read more]
