I’m looking for readers to help encourage me to write, basically, a more private version of AO3 kudos. Read on if you like queer paranormal romance.
Okay, with that eyecatch out of the way, let me explain. I’ve had the idea for a two part story that focuses on queer romance between mostly older, broken characters. Cool, right? Problem is, lately I have been struggling to write without a solid deadline and people waiting for the product. Way back when, I got a lot of work done on AO3, but this is original fiction. I don’t think it’s going to be easy to get the eyes and asks for more that way. So that’s what I need. 3-4 people that I can email like once a month with 1-2 chapters at a time. What do I need from these people? Feedback of any sort. What will they get for me?
Well, beyond making art, I have also slowly been getting into beta reading, mostly for zines. If you like how I write, then I’d be more than happy to read just about anything and try and help build it up. We can build a small discord server to share stories, feedback, information, or it can be solely through email. It’s totally up to you.
Okay, and now the story itself. Here’s the first chapter. Please give that a read and take a look below to see if you’re interested in this project!
In a world similar to our own, magic is a known, quantifiable thing, though it is quite new. New enough that a massive war broke out with plenty of humans determined to wipe out the “abominations” and plenty more trying to protect them. It’s been twenty years since then, and things are slowly adjusting for this new reality.
Lao and Kirke Telis are half-siblings, phoenixes, magical shapeshifting birds known for their strong healing and fire magic, as well as their nearly immortal lifespans. They were on opposite sides of the war, and opposite sides of their family. And both end up crashing into some poor humans’ life, leaving them all forever changed.
Charles Maddern. Margaret Churchill. One is broken from the war, the other cannot remember a life without magic. One finds a phoenix who cannot heal, and the other meets one who cannot fight. Both humans have to learn a lot, to let go of trauma, to learn that not everyone is a good person.
But people can change. And even phoenixes, they can change too.
