It's easier to do this sort of posturing when you can actually stand up, but that doesnt stop Penny from giving it a try!

...precious few storms for a novel thats a direct rip off of a Powered By The Apocalypse game, but here's Thomas engaging with the community

#WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts
“I’m here to talk to Thomas Owens, is that you?” The figure stepped into view. Skinny, nervous, with a big head that made him look like a dandelion about to blow. He wore motorcycle leathers and there was a knife tucked into his boot, but he had the air of a true geek. He could be a fae lord, Thomas supposed, but fae glamors were subtle as a hammer once you knew what to look for. They wouldn’t be a geek with cystic acne scars. Still the power was there. Even the mundane bar regulars could feel it. They leaned semi-consciously away from him, huddling over their drinks as if waiting for a storm to pass.

Kimmy uncovers the fact that the supernatural government has been bought and paid for in the most Kimmy way possible, and we love tha-wait no we hate regulatory capture this is bad in a lot of bad ways!

“So he gets a little juiced up and starts talking about all the opportunities for a lovely young girl like me and I do the move where I lean over the table and let him see down my shirt and he falls for it fully. Like a goddamn teenager. I think I know why his marriage is falling apart, by the way.” Niamh shook her head. “Kimmy, you are a walking advertisement for infidelity.” “Aww, thanks boss! Anyway, I start asking about all these great opportunities and he starts talking about how Yanis Brooks has a great tie with an old magic society in the harbor and how they’re transferring a ton of interns there now. Paid interns, too, so you know kids are killing for those spots.” Kimmy stared at the countertop. “Literally. Holy shit, Niamh, the number of financial ties between members of the Entente and the Pacific Institute are insane. The more I look into it, the more it looks like a Vigiles Draconi front. And the more I look at the Entente’s relationship with it, it looks like the Vigiles fucking owns the Entente.”

Last night I found myself standing in front of my gas stove holding a raw goose breast above the open flame to burn off the tiny remaining feathers and thought: "have I lost control over my life?"

...which is not to say that purely bad familial relationships dont exist, but often folks stuck in a toxic family like Charlie are suffering through the gallons of bitter for that ounce of sweet. Charlie is being manipulated here. The Owens clan has jokes, but this is a bad scene for all of them.

By focusing on the relationships that form the unexpected (in fantasy settings at least) contrast of domesticity and domestic terrorism. If it doesn't suit the relationships the humor will feel false. If the relationships are all bitter with no sweet they'll feel false as well.

Kimmy and Joey are the best.

#WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts
Joey’s crew, meanwhile, was a flurry of activity. Unloading crates, opening crates, making horrified faces and retreating, gagging, from crates… “Hey Seb,” Joey said. He had a black bandanna tied around his face and offered one to Sebastian. “You’re gonna wanna cover your nose. We got face masks but the boys opening up the boxes need ‘em. They shipped everything with durian and fertilizer. Ain’t no drug dog getting shit through that. Gotta be a hundred percent with you, it ain’t makin for speedy progress for my boys neither.” He jerked his head toward Kimmy, who gave Sebastian a tired little wave. “She says she can filter for it once she rests up or if one us wants to do a strip tease for her. I said I’d do it but my crew is being all shy so we’re waiting.” “Boundaries are boundaries,” Kimmy said. “I respect it.”

MACHINATIONS is The Dresden Files meets Severance. Dragons, witches and vampires fighting mind control and bureaucracy. Everyone thinks they're the good guy and most of them are wrong.

Niamh gets trolled by her tarot deck

#WIPSNIPS #urbanfantasy #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingprompts
The cards were unhelpful. The High Priestess central, the ten of swords on the left, Judgment on the right, with Innocence above and Death below. “Yes, thank you,” Niamh said to the spread, crossly. “You have accurately described my problem of ‘being a dragon.’” The next card she drew was an inverted Fool. She sighed and put the cards down. She loved her aspect, the divine Purpose that drove her collection and inspired her name. Prophecy was beautiful because it was open to interpretation, malleable, difficult to understand for both prophet and disciple. It was more art than science, and often more chicanery than truth. Which was a lot of fun, right up until her tools started sassing her.

For my birthday my husband gave me three hours to sit at a bar and write a couple thousand words of the climactic battle of this sprawling urban fantasy mess. Im so close to being done, yall.

Then its time for part 2.

Chapter 13 of TWWF is live!

For those of you new, this is a queer dark fantasy novel releasing through my newsletter. It follows the seer Maxwell as he navigates a decaying magical land with the mysterious entity possessing him.

Eva slammed her book shut with a scornful laugh. “Do you hear the shit spewing from your mouth Zakariah, or have your ears swelled shut from the size of your head? Need I remind you by those same principles of the First Faith that you were shunned from your own family? Or the reason the Sundens are a ghost of what they once were?” Officer Sunden drew himself up to his full height and turned his horse. “Maxwell, I will tell the general you are doing fine.” “When he gets going like that, there’s nothing to do but call him out,” Eva said when the officer was out of earshot. “All said though he’s probably the least worst of the lot of them. First Families like to announce their belief in their superiority to anyone that breathes. They can’t seem to help themselves.” The Wards Will Fall book cover

Oh come on Charlie dont be whiny, they tied your hands in front and put a blanket down jn the trunk before they threw you in it this is luxury travel by Owens standards

But most workshops didn’t have a concrete floor that sloped ever so slightly toward a drain in the center. Most hobbyists had fewer long, sharp knives, and almost certainly didn’t keep them next to quite such a broad collection of antique medical equipment. And there were certainly not very many other sheds that had an old dentist’s chair with horrible stains that were not concealed by the drape of plastic sheeting across the back bolted to the floor. “I’m not fucking sitting on that,” Charlie said when the door was shut and the shop light was turned on. Riley snorted. “I put a tarp on it for you and everything.” “Not comforting, given the context.” Charlie held up his wrists, displaying the zip ties. “These aren’t necessary either.”

Being a dyslexic, homeschooled transdude in a murder cult hasn't left Riley with a ton of options to be a different guy, and that's tragic. There's some coffee shop AU where he gets to be happy, but alas...

“Charlie left! Charlie betrayed us! He betrayed you, Finn, just now, specifically! Why are you so hell-bent on protecting a traitor?!” Finn snarled. “That’s my fucking brother you’re talking about you son of a bitch!” Then he started throwing punches. Jackson hit the dirt and went for a grapple. Finn wriggled out of his grip and socked him in the gut. Jackson kneed Finn in the jaw and tried to scramble to his feet, but Finn kicked his injured ankle and knocked him flat again. The remaining Owens brothers watched them scrap, arms folded. Finally, Riley sighed and turned to Thomas. “He’s not gonna wrap my eye, is he?” “Doesn’t look like it.” Riley let out an aggrieved sigh. “Fine. I’m going to bed then.” “You don’t wanna weigh in on who leads the clan?” Riley laughed, derisively. “Why should I? I’m the dummy, remember?” He shook his head. “I don’t know if it’s cause I was born a girl or if it’s cause I’m a disappointment in some other way, but nobody’s ever thought about me in the lead. Charlie got more leadership training than I ever did. So nah, fuck it. Lemme know if they kill each other, I guess.”
