Sanctuary by Jaydra Dawn
You'll never escape your past, so how will you face it? Days before securing their future, blackmail by an old associate forces the Roselands to do so. Shameful desires, maligned identities, BDSM, wrapped in a homage to Victorian literature.

I would love to go to sleep and wake up to an alarm in the morning. I haven't slept through the night in years, and thus begins another long period of loneliness, followed by a 3hr nap the next day.
At least in warm months I could go for a walk.

The Roselands are a found family. Victor left absentee parents behind, May was abandoned as a child, and Ashe was kicked out of her home when she came out as trans. The former governess Viola, who still calls Ashe "My mare", and is still welcome. Sanctuary explores this, Second Sun takes it further.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
How is your character's relationship with their family?
Do they have biological and/or found family? Are they close or were they?
Can they count on family for support, or was family a source of conflict?

I think the Saturday Snippet won't be the usual Second Sun adventure, and instead be the transcript of the radio address given when the former High Commander Kazimir Zinovy Korsakov, dying of cancer, ends his life, and they play his recording to UNS citizens which are also his last words.

I really wish there was a way to track how much water you drink in a day, like those step people do with their watches that show everyone their steps and it's cute.
Rough estimates have put me at 10L lowball, 14L possible. Once I drank 5L in a night... Lithium + Low Humidity, helluva combo.

Anyone who saw “The Producers” knows that you can wring cash out of intentional flop. Jeff Bezos pumped money into Melania not to sell tickets but to bribe and flatter Trump.

It differs between characters. I imagine this song playing during Tatyana's first flight over the ocean, after waking up on the battleship. A phoenix winged woman who now carries the flames of those she loved forward, knowing that giving up would insult their sacrifices and it's time to live again.

The Norden Civil War was the product of a sweeping wildfire of revolutions against City State Councils that stimeyed progess, enforced rigid class systems, and had hereditary authority similar to monarchy.
Instead of city states overthrowing Councils, Norden was more complicated, with factions...🧵

#JanuaryWorldbuilders, tell me why a war, either historical or current, started in your world. If this is your first time seeing my prompts: please note that these are for fictional worlds of our own creations! Please no discussions of real wars unless it relates to your fictional story!

It's a Cold War relic that's now possibly relevant again. A station to monitor incoming ICBMs as Russia would likely launch them over Canada. As of now, there's probably about 70-80 people, all of whom will rotate out at some point, but it's definitely still operational.
Stay Alert, Canada! Stay Canadian, Alert!! ❤️🍁

85 Seconds. Still wildly optimistic, and listening to the discussion of the press' questions, it assumes too much on good faith actors.

At the end of Second Sun two powers stop someone from re-developing the atomic bomb, only to begin production themselves (it's confirmed enemy states have a program too), atomic and thermonuclear weapons will be built. It's highly likely some will be used in the Trinity War, before Zera steps in.🧵
Heya, #JanuaryWorldbuilders! Today's military/warfare question: What are some large-scale weapons or siege engines used in your world? Have you ever written a scene with those? Also, feel free to yap about siege warfare in general. What other strategies do they employ?

Going to a munch tomorrow, but this time it's with a twist, it's for a specific fetish. Never done that before, will be nice walking in and having everyone know about a niche fetish and share it. Should be interesting.

Looks neat, going to poke at it. @Jaydra
Well, this is new...
You showed up so fast our servers tapped out.
Frustrating? Yes. Emotional? Also yes.
We're a tiny team building what Big Tech stopped being. Right now, we're scaling on caffeine to keep up with what YOU started.
Bear with us. We're on it.

Victor: Too cliche to say when I walked in after my wife helped my daughter prepare herself for her wedding, and she held my arm? *sniffs*
Second place is hanging off an antenna 550m in the air completing the UNS's major coms tower. The Central Norden Tower (or CN Tower).

I trired that Nextdoor thing out of curiosity and some lady gave me a (blunted, stainless steel, but still neat) sword. Just gave it to me. She didn't know what to do with it.

Forged by a civil war where fighting took place mostly in towns and cities, as well as revolutions happening in large cities, most nations prefer close-quarters, small squad tactics, re-enforced by naval bombardment of key targets.
