Winvyre

I'm your resident mad god, Winvyre! (pronounced "win-vie-r") My pronouns are They/Them but my gender is whatever makes the joke funnier.

I mainly write fantasy with horror elements. My motto for writing is "if I can make it just a little bit more horrifying, then that's what I'm going to do." While I'm not opposed to romance, it's not something that shows up in my work very often. I like to write stories with more-than-humans: superpowers, werewolves, magic systems, etc. I also write the occassional poem and sometimes I post art on here.

Current Projects:

[Valerie's Story] (no title; WIP)- high fantasy epic/coming-of-age

Stories say that the Six Immortals vanished after Immortal Bellona's banishment to the Demon Realm ended the White War. One thousand years later, the stories have shifted and their worship is stronger than ever. But the seal between worlds is breaking. Now Valerie and her mother Oakley must recruit the Immortals' reincarnations and uncover the hidden truths of the past, and themselves, to save the world from the destruction of a second White War.

Hidnight (WIP)- urban fantasy/horror (heavy family, abuse, trauma, & religious themes)

Since moving to his new neighborhood, Connor has become close with the Ibarras, an isolated family of werewolves whom he likes way more than his own parents or the community at church. When the Werewolf Hunter's Association catches wind that there's a pack nearby, Connor gets wrapped up in their crazy, god-obsessed experiments puppeted by a mysterious cult who desperately want Connor on their side. Can he protect his chosen family and himself? Or will the cycles of abuse continue and doom them all?

Level 2 Hyperfixation: must interact with/create fan content of source material

If you didn't know this about me, back when I first formed aspirations of being an author, science fiction was the main thing I wrote. I lean more fantasy/horror now but it's nice to know that sci-fi-loving kid never died.

How does one build a world? There's so much to think about. Where do you start?

The answer is... start with your interests!

Personally, I'm really into learning about religions. I love mythology and coming up with my own gods. So I created the Six Immortals. Let's look at Immortal Ved as an example:

Ved is the Craft Immortal. His domain lies with artisans and academics. -> He founded a magic school in the Snow Region. -> The headmaster and professors form the council that governs the region.

Having trouble with dialogue (or just wording in general)? Try acting it out! I find that when I'm able to embody my characters, their scenes turn out much more impactful and I come up with lines I otherwise never would've thought of.

Example: The headmaster of the magic school was threatening a student into complying with his plan to forcefully assimilate their people. He was sounding generically evil and almost robotic until I started pretending to be him.

The first day of spring is when the people of the Forest Region celebrate making it through the winter by eating fun foods, selling handmade goods, playing games, and wearing accessories made from hearthbloom flowers.
