Funny story, I can't answer with Jane Austen who I love, even though you would think her works have nothing to do with political dark fantasy, but you would be wrong! When I first started writing this wip a decade ago, it was a historical thriller/romance set during Napoleonic wars and started as -

Is there a book or writer you love who has NOT really inspired anything in your current work(s) and/or whose oeuvre doesn't really have anything to do with your current focus?

For Valeri this depends on which goal we're talking about. He has two goals which are related but occasionally come in conflict with each other. His primary goal has always been "keep Fiolev safe" (his younger sibling) and nothing except his or Fiolev's death would derail him from that. His 1/

"Imperial heir, a bastard?! Son of traitors has plotted his way into the bed of the empress... and even the emperor!"
This is about Faerathos and literally all true. He only didn't plot anything, nonono, he's just stumbling his way to high treason with the help of wine and mental illness.

I finally decided to finish the map for Dir'ahin. First is a map with biomes highlighted in different colours and then there's a map for easier reading. Now I can finally give them as a context for all the threads about Vuolhú.

Okay how do I do this without being extremely spoilery XD
In addition to all your normal historical misunderstandings, there is a history suppressed by the imperial institutions. It starts with the very origins of the Angusian Empire, of the first emperor Avitus I. A lot 1/5

#NovemberWorldbuilders Heya, friends! In your fictional world, are there any lies or conspiracy theories (or maybe just incorrect beliefs) about a historical event? Is the government of your (fictional) world hiding anything? Please keep it fictional! No real-world stuff here, please!

Valeri hates the city with passion and loves nature just as much. Everyday at dawn he goes to have an hour walk with his dogs outside the city or he will go insane. He has survived before in nature and during the story does survive again for several weeks in the mountains. 1/3

How does your character feel about nature?
Do they like the outdoors? Have good survival skills?
Or do they prefer the comforts and amenities of a city?
Some combination of both?

I have quite a large cast so there's several stories happening in the background. Faelci, who is Valeri's rival-turned-friend, is spying the imperial army for Cabalusian separatists. He also has a romance with their leader, Aerich. It's very in the background during the first 1/2

Agrippa is The Lost Heir and sort of a Chosen One. However, she's not a main character, her storyline is important, but not *the* story. And more than that, she was not chosen for her special magic power, she was made on purpose that way. When she returns to her rightful throne, she 1/6

If it doesn't make sense to answer for romantic love, you can talk about some other sort of "first love".

So a while back I was commissioned to do short bios of various rock stars, and they were just about universally total psychopaths, with the huge exception of Freddie Mercury. A lovely man who did good by his wife, his lovers, and his cats.
Today (24 November) marks the passing of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. He remains regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music.
