as people, let alone creators, of color, we’re often told that our stories don’t matter, that our cultures aren’t worth anything [unless it’s being fetishized + turned into an aesthetic], and that the color of our skin and noneurocentric features are ugly. 

we’re here to provide a space where we can discuss our experiences and work without comments like these. in this server, you can ask for help and give help and make friends with experiences like yours! 

— to join! 

there are no qualifications that must be met to join, other than being a person of color! as much as we appreciate our anti-racist white friends, this server’s intended purpose is to be a safe space for people of color.

The Dragon and the Herald by J. A. García and A. M. Wright © 

Genre: Arthurian Retelling, high fantasy

Elements: Magic, fae, war, LGBTQA+ and POC characters

Status: Editing

Summary: 

The legend always said that the dragon would bring peace. That had been a lie. It was obvious to those in the borderlands, for they had to deal with the countless raids, the death, the stealing of sons and daughters by the White Lady. No one had ever seen her but every mother spoke in hushed tones to their swaddling children, not to speak out, not to draw any attention to themselves lest they be caught in the witch's icy grip. 

A band of rogue warriors and unlikely heroes join the fray to stop the White Lady from unleashing her full power, unaware that soon their fates will be entwined and set in the big scheme of pulling Britain out of a darkness that will go beyond legend.

Renegades. Judges. Pirates. Outcasts.

The crew of the Cosmic Pearl have been on the run for years now, their ship set in a permanent course towards chaos. It’s just that they’ve never really gotten into a mess like this before.

When they find a ship idling in a part of the galaxy no one else should be, Rumi orders it to be docked. What sort of pirate would skip a chance to plunder, right? It’s just...the ship isn’t abandoned. And the single man they find on board isn’t...exactly how he should be. 

Judges cast the first stone, but hunters throw the knives.

And captain’s? Well, they’ll protect ship and crew to their dying breaths.

Rumi just hopes he’s not about to take his any time soon.

curse you to the deepest part of the forest, where no light shines; curse you to the darkest part of the sea, where you may die; curse you, your life, your soul;

hope you may fail today, tomorrow; hope you lose, lose it all, every single day; hope you ruin your life, oh, to make me happy;

feel my anger, my wrath, my rage; feel me shout your name, scream it, fling it across the winds; feel me resist, hold back, refrain from taking a weapon to you;

I am mad, I am spiteful, I am filled with hatred; hatred for you, for all that you do; you have ruined me, I will now ruin you.

the quiet side of life, s. f.
