I guess I should have done this before just jumping headlong into my rambling ass posts, but I'm here now!

ABOUT ME

I'm Rhokis (pen-name) and you can call me R or Rhokis, I'm not picky.

29

She/Her/They pronouns. Whatever works best for you.

I've been writing my whole life, went to university for writing but alas the program was changed from Creative Writing to Technical Writing just as I entered so I'm not "formally" trained on the creative side like some are.

Currently working in green tech, for corporate overlords who've ruined my dream of being a part of the solution.

There's gonna be a lot of DnD-related content here as well as fiction writing. I promise to put more of my WIPs here eventually, but right now I'm enjoying the supportive environment of the DnD community here on Tumblr while I work on the campaign I've been running since the summer. Plus, that's still writing too and I'd appreciate having more people to chuckle at the hilarity of our group as we continue our campaigns.

ABOUT MY WRITING + GOAL

I enjoy writing horror, science fiction, speculative fiction, and a dash of fantasy here and there.

I've been featured on The NoSleep Podcast a couple of times, currently working on expanding my portfolio.

I hope to be published in an anthology within the next 5 years (baby-step goals for me).

My writing style is very geared towards voice. The main thing people point out in my stories is that, much like in real life, I have a strong voice which is both a good and bad thing. Working on taming that moving forward.

PROJECTS

"Black Widow" (WT, WIP) - Been working on this story since I was around 14. Started it during the exam season and worked on it throughout a summer. Originally over 150 pages handwritten that have been mushed into someTHING over the last decade and a bit. Thriller/drama. Forever WIP.

"WEYARD : The Novel" - a novelization of our groups current 2.5+ year campaign. Throughout 2024 I'll be posting snips in near chronological order for your enjoyment and for feedback. Fantasy, horror, comedy.

"There Are No Strings on Me" (WIP) - Horror SS

"Under the Bridge" (WIP) - Horror SS

"Dragonlance" (Current DnD campaign, original 1980's v. personally updating to 5e for my group, currently on DL2) - The thing you'll probably hear the most about from me.

I'm not going to lie, been fan-girling about my OC and my friend's Dragonlance campaign OC's lately, so there's a lot of THAT on my blog right now. I will work on putting out more of my original fiction moving forward.

I'm always open to new friends. The first step in writing is having a supportive community to scream into the void with. I appreciate all of you!

No sooner had my excited squealing at having a story accepted for the HUSH, DON'T WAKE THE MONSTER anthology subsided, than I received this picture of the cover from the editor, which totally set me off again 😊😊😊. I realize I'm biased, but I think it looks amazing. Also amazing is the list of contributors... some truly outstanding female horror writers. I can't tell you what an honor it is to be joining them. This is the blurb...
