wretched and divine ; a wip intro

genre;; sci-fi audience;; new adult content warnings;; death, violence, trauma, genocide

Luken is the latest in a long line of Storm Knights, but she will forever be remembered by history as the one who ended the war with the Kaer, taking control of the planet for her people. But the more her people spread across the planet’s surface, the more certain she is that she’s made a mistake. Mara was once a Kaern archaeologist, but what use is a digger for history to a people consigned to a life lived on spaceships? When she receives an invitation from the leader of the people who had taken her home, she is certain it must be a trap. While her people urge her to accept to look for a weakness to exploit, Mara knows she accepts for no reason other than that nothing in the world could truly ever keep her from the ruins that haunt her dreams. But somewhere within those ruins lie an answer that neither girl is truly ready to accept.

The Chaos in Justice - a wip introduction

Genre;; superpowers (one of these days I will learn what genre that is I promise but today is not that day) Content Warnings;; kidnapping, violence, ptsd, trauma, abuse, suicidal ideations Status;; first draft

Max Greenwich never wanted to be a professional Gifted, but when faced with the choice to enroll in the Gifted Institutes or face jail time, it was a pretty clear choice what to do. He really hadn't expected to be given a place in the Grand Chaos Institute, where the next generation of top-rated supervillains were trained. Just as he's started to settle into this new life, however, the headmistress is kidnapped, and Max and his friends are the only ones who seem to be taking this threat against their life seriously. Armed with only their own wits, some half-trained Gifts, and one slightly weird teacher, it's up to them to get the headmistress back before the ones who've taken them can enact their sinister plan.

Elias lived the worst day of his life the day his husband died in a tragic accident. He could not accept that he hadn't done enough to save him. When he sought out the God of Death to beg for a chance to save his husband, he hadn't actually seriously expected to be given his chance.

— FIRST DRAFT writeblr reintroduction

ABOUT ME Hello! I'm Evan, also known as firstdraft or evancetera. As it's been over two years since my last introduction, and my pinned post is woefully out of date, I thought I'd write a new one. I'm also coming off a writeblr hiatus of sorts, and I'm very glad to be back!

So, about me! I'm 32 years old, non-binary, bi & aro/acespec, and my pronouns are they/them or he/him. I'm currently a part-time undergrad student, tentatively majoring in computer science, and I live in Michigan with my family and my cat.

WORKS IN PROGRESS under the cut

Hello from the voids of Fate! My name is Francis Ravel. I am a writer of every genre and style, and it is my personal goal to create so many tales that people begin to think I was divinely cursed to be mad or terrifyingly in control.

I have *backstory*, but if anything, it has made me absolutely set in my goal to change the world for the better. It is my sincerest wish to make art that will inspire those who have gone through similar things to persevere, and learn to love to live, so that one day I in turn will get to hear their story.

My current WIP, which will most likely be my main work for the next 20 years, is entitled Night Myths and Day Mares. Book one is available now, and Book two is well on its way to being completed.

I hope every writer, would be writer, hopeful writer, or person who wishes to one day put pen to paper will reach out. I can't wait to see the worlds you've created, and I hope you will allow me to give you a tour through my creations.

Updated with the blurb for The Mechanics of Magic and also some pictures!

Some key facts first:

My typical genre - Fantasy

Age rating - New Adult / Adult

Reccuring elements - Lots of magic, neurodivergent characters, queer characters 🏳️‍🌈

I'm Wren, I'm 34 and from the UK. I am also autistic and my rainbow credentials are that I'm a trans guy, grey-asexual, and somehow also pretty gay 😉

I write fantasy, and particularly love to explore how the historical worlds of traditional fantasy might look if they were allowed to develop into the modern era.

My characters tend to be neurodivergent, with many of them being ADHD or autistic, even if the fantasy world doesn't have a term for it. I develop all my works with my partner, who is ADHD, so these are all own-voices. Most of my characters are also queer, though this hasn't yet been explored to its full extent in my first book (I hope to show more of this in the sequel). I also like to write about trauma and healing through found family and connections with others.

I've been writing properly for about 4 years now and have two ongoing projects.

Project 1:

The Mechanics of Magic

(Tag themechanicsofmagic)

Two decades after the slaughter of Ardveld’s royal family, Matthew could almost forget he’d ever been the crown prince. His survival a secret from all but his closest friend, the expectations of his birth have been consigned to history.

A job. A family. He thought he’d moved on.

But when his eighteen-year-old son Alex is arrested and taken to the palace, Matthew realizes his past has caught up with him.

Meanwhile, novice mage, delivery driver, and part-time thief Roy is looking for answers. A simple break-in takes a sinister turn when he stumbles across a weapon imbued with destructive magic and glowing with the sigil of Ardveld’s deceased royalty.

Across the city, a string of strange magic attacks prompts an investigation by Ardveld’s newly appointed Head of Magical Affairs, Tamara. What she discovers threatens to reveal the truth about Ardveld’s takeover, and will determine the future of the survivors.

The Mechanics of Magic is a multiple-pov fantasy novel set in an original world where magic exists openly alongside early internet-level technology.

The book follows the surviving prince of a deposed magical royal family (who has been living in secret for two decades) trying to rescue his son from the government whilst uncovering the truth about his family's murder.

This book is my passion and I will make a proper WIP post for it, but to summarise here, Mechanics is my first book and I self-published it last year. No content warnings. It was written to stand alone, but I am now working on the sequel as there is much more to explore with these characters and their journey.

Mechanics has been awarded a B.R.A.G medallion and has a 4.3 star rating, but for my own peace of mind I am soon to release a second edition with a new cover after working with a great editor to get it as good as it can possibly be before book 2.

Project 2:

Darkness at the heart of my love (temporary title. Tag darknessattheheart)

The chosen one is forcibly turned by the vampire leader's son. A gay, vampire romance that I am posting chapter by chapter on AO3.

This is my fun side project. It's very different from my fantasy series and has an 18+ rating for some explicit content. I'm currently writing chapter 21 of 26 and hope to finish in the next two months.

Hi, hi! I've had a writeblr before, but left after remaking my entire Tumblr account. Got a bit busy, but missed the community so much that I wanted back in <3

-About me-

Korka or Corky - whichever you prefer

adult

undergrad majoring in two foreign languages and their respective literature :>

I've been writing for about as long as I've known of myself, but only started taking it seriously in the last 5-6 years, and only in the past year or two did I really start figuring out what I want to write, so my style is still unpolished and I still consider myself in my "finding myself" era

major procrastinator and experiencer of what I think is executive dysfunction; I will try my bestest to be active on here, but I might take a week or seven to read a single excerpt, though not for lack of interest or trying!! Nevertheless, please tag me in your works so I won't lose them in the dash :3

-What I write-

Greetings and salutations, fellow word-arranger! I see that you also enjoy the art of reshuffling letters until they spell out cool stuff. That sounds like a pretty solid basis for a friendship, hmm...

This is a little nook for all things writing! It covers everything from tips and book reviews to the very backbone of society (memes, duh). The aim here is to build a nice community and foster friendships and support and all of that good stuff. Writing can be pretty lonely, so let's make it a little less so!

About me

Hey, I'm Alai. I'm a queer Venezuelan girly, mid-20's, looking to become more active in the writeblr community. Some of my other interests include philosophy, Greek mythology, all sciences (I have an Honors degree in Laboratory Medicine!) and everything to do with the Classics.

My focus is on fantasy and queer romance, but I'm open to all sorts of genres and do very much read other stuff on the reg. Also really into Sci-Fi, Thrillers, Horror and Literary Fiction.

Most of my work is novel-centric, but I also love reading short stories and poetry and cannot resist a good out context quote lol.

Lover of all things character-driven and morally ambiguous, pyrrhic victories, interpersonal drama, tragic losers doomed by the narrative, and the liberal use of Catholic Guilt™️ as literary garnish.

I'm an only child who once heard that sharing is caring, so please hit me with your best WIP and let's chat about it! We can even hold each other (accountable so we can get it DONE).

WIPs

The Paradox of Nonchoice (Adult Fantasy/Romance)

Summary: Nahia is an angel who, after years of studying human culture and behavior in the heavenly realm of Zion, is finally sent to Earth on her first assignment: to grant the deepest desire of the first person she meets. With the support of her mentor and sisters, along with a promise to reunite with her mother should she succeed, the stage is set for God's newest angel to carry out His word. However, when Nahia learns that her ward – a disillusioned handywoman by the name of Rory – wants something she isn't altogether prepared to give, the indentured angel must decide whose orders to follow: if God's, or her heart's. Note: there's a TON more to this plot, I promise!! But unfortunately, any particulars I may give would constitute an absolutely gargantuan spoiler lol. Tropes: soulmates, forced proximity (kinda if you squint), co-workers to lovers (squint a bit more just trust me lmao), absolutely rancid sibling dynamics, mommy issues, daddy issues, crisis of faith, Everything Is A Lie Nothing Is Sacred, loser women cringefailing, "ah, you're one of them queers", The Catholic Church. TWs: religious trauma, suicide, violence, blood, slight body horror, France (mentioned).

Will be looking for betas and feedback very soon, so please stay tuned! Updates to come on this blog. If anyone's at all interested, any sort of engagement would be very welcomed and appreciated :)

Sasso’s and Volcov’s filled the streets with blood over the new born. In the end, the Sasso’s where brought to an end, only Matteo and his older brother being direct ties to the once old and powerful family of the Cosa Nostra.

Now 33 years later, Matteo uncovers that the war his parents started never came to an end with his father’s murder. It’s been silently brewing behind closed doors, no longer between Volcov’s and Sasso’s. All the powerhouses of NYC are now tangled in to the Volcov’s family drama. With the Volcov boss not getting any younger and the raising doubt in his successor, all of New York holds it’s breath anticipating the explosive fall out.

Tws: murder, pregnancy, miscarriage, still born, death, drugs, alcohol, guns, violence, blood and gore

Sapira (working title) - High Fantasy:

Nelia and Ilanius run into eachother and their lives change in that very moment. Bounded by Blood, Doomed by Fate. They know very little of what that means, besides that they are tied together in some twisted trickery of the Divines. That and they must go west. They have very little trust in each other but can't escape the pull they have. Both haunted by nightmares they can't comprehend they venture out together in search of what greater purpose they believe they must serve.

I feel like I've been saying I'll do this for a week and never actually end up doing it because I'm never on tumblr on my laptop. Anyway.

Hello, I'm Chief, I write under TC Smith, and I am (as far as I know) not a cat. People are prone to mispronouncing and/or misspelling my real name including my last name containing all of two letters. This is a phenomenon that confuses me to this day because my name (which is Mandarin pinyin) is phonetic and is pronounced exactly how it's spelled.

Hello! I'm Amalia (not my real name, lol), 27. I'm an hobbist writer that focuses on speculative fiction and romance.

I work in cybersecurity during the day. (Yes you can message me or send asks about my job btw)

I unconsciously tend to write about my own experiences so here a list of themes, tropes and similar things I naturally tend to write about. I think this is better than a self-id list and more interesting. This is no particular order of importance or how much I use it and of course not everything is always included.

Bisexuality, especially WLW "ships";

Disability, mental illness and neurodivergency;

Feeling without a choice;

Community in a positive way*;

Underdogs;

Second (or even third, fourth chances);

Family and friends;

Some sort of war or big conflict;

Love;

Resilience and resistance...

I think there will be other things and I maybe will update the list as I go.

Anyway I'm always up for tag games etc. It might take me some time to get back because of my job (and ADHD).

I have to note that all my writing is original. I don't write or read fanfiction at the moment although I'm an avid reader.

WIPs:

Servant of Chaos

Other things I'm working on:

What if? - Writing exercises ->That's the tag I use to publish the excerpt. I'm trying to learn how to write fiction in english and this helps.

My writing -> Self-explanatory.

WIP -> Everything that has to do with my WIPs.

My tags to find references and writing tips are a mess, mind you.

That's everything for now!

⚔ WHY SHOULD YOU READ THIS? ⚔

Regardless of note count, you cannot stop me. Why other reason?

Also because I've been at it for years but that's secondary *cries*

⚔ ABOUT ME?? ⚔

I go by Jydestein on this side blog, just Em, or whatever you think is a suitable nickname would usually be fine.

Possibly addicted to every tea you can think of;

Transmasc and queer as hell;

Neurodivergent/Autism/Dyscalculia

sword enthusiast;

goth/dark academia, vampire and legal (?) aesthetics;

Enjoys staring at ✨drywall✨ and crying, thinking too hard about actually everything everywhere;

Sad, considering I want to be a civil rights attorney, so, also thinking too much of that too (Amercian higher education.......);

✨*insert written laments of random sh*t here✨.

⚔ WHAT I WRITE & WIPS ⚔

Tends to lean toward general fiction, magical realism, low fantasy, urban, legal, drama, some comedy here and there, however I can construct a story around topics important to me, LGBTQIA+ content and sometimes essays (but probably not here). Sometimes you may see other elements or some poorly constructed motif, but idk at this rate.

WIPS include:

-Nevera Barmicii (formerly called So Ordinary)

Liz is Victorian youth under most unfortunate circumstances where her father and community is controlled by power, greed and superstition around her albinism. But, there is good reason to be superstitious of the whole Nicia family, actually. Especially when Liz begins going down a horribly wrong path in her life in a strange new universe...with those who care as an only lifeline from the rarely administered and extremely brutal death penalty.

-The Scenery

He's a knight in the modern age but also a lawyer, and he's quite the odd character. But, the one who does see his beauty is the prince, who is ostracized for his reprobate ways, shall we say. His mother wishes to arrange a marriage to scare away a rival nation. So, Prince Castillo Hires him, Sir Mueller, to annul the marriage. This doesn't come without defending, or kneeling to, his beloved prince, and proving just how deviant they really are.

-Legend of Genesis

A commonly accepted legend of how Gnex came to be. Ji wanted to punish those who kill, only to hypocritically kill the emperor and end up in his own universe. But, he knows he is god, and he will reign. He's sure no one can defeat him. And if so, he will be back once again.
