🤣🤣 Not knocking you plotters out there! I would do it that way if I could, if my brain only worked that way! My friend has been trying to convince me that This Is The Way (he’s amazing… Not knocking him, either 🤣). I just couldn’t do it.

For longer stuff, I start making plot nots once I get a few thousand words into it. But never before. My…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

MY books are not THAT dark! I read YOUR draft!

MWahahahahahahahahaa

Yes. I mean Dark Fantasy is kinda like a blanket title for well…dark books that are also fantasy…And your books are dark 🙂

🥰

YAS YASSSSSSSSS MY ARCH NEMESISSSSSS!!!! ARISE FROM THY COFFIN!!!!!!

Welp, I feel called out. 🫠

“Who said anything about being half human?” Arsene returned with his usual annoying smile. “As I said before, my father was a woodland elf, who left his country, and my mother was a lone dragon. I have no human heritage.”

Alessio blinked slowly, his eyes getting wider even while he was trying to maintain a neutral expression. Vaguely he remembe…[Read more]

I love this question because I love hearing how other people come up with their ideas, too!

So often my ideas come to me in a single glimpse of a single scene. When I sit down to describe the scene, everything else before and after that scene suddenly appears. The more I write it out, the deeper it goes, and more unfolds.

It’s like a true…[Read more]

I have been summoned from the depths of school-induced digital hibernation!!!!

@nataliecone

Hi Natalie, I’m Rose! I’ve been very inactive here recently, but it’s lovely to meet you!

Welll… Gilded Blood jumps wildly between a fun, light “Chaos teenagers on an adventure” fantasy and some extremely dark subjects XD…[Read more]

[@this-is-not-an-alien – you … just sit there? REALLY?!]

[You are wrong.]

[Life is not gray. It is black and white. But they mingle. A little black in the white. A little white in the black.]

[Take off your apathy-tinted glasses. See the world as it is.]

[That fox-fire you stare into dims. Winks out. And darts away.]

[The tip-tip-tip-tip of…[Read more]

Undeniably uncomfortable, Alessio started. “You’re…a weredraekon?”

Well, that’s a new one, although that could describe it.

“Or…dragons are intelligent in your world?”

He blinked slowly, opened his mouth to say something, hesitated, and then opened his mouth to speak anyway. This should be good.

“If you’re half dragon and half human…how do……[Read more]

I agree with this strongly. I appreciate your warning to pray about writing dark fantasy because it’s our job to shine a light. I agree there, too ut that’s where I e been messing up. When I START the story with plans to shine a light, it comes across as too pretty and shiny and pure. When I start with the shadows, by the time I’m at the end,…[Read more]

this sounds incredible!! And lots of fun! Aren’t they always more lame on paper than it is inside our heads? I like the space inside my head. It’s quirky and fun. 🤣

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…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Why do you summon me?

@nataliecone

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]

Oooh he sounds interesting, Alessio will hate him 😌

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…[Read more]

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

@kimlikesart

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]
