Hello Wild walk writers

A sea of brown was permeated by one small shard of colour. The Autumn in this field missed the colourful memo

📝 Boyd, who was at least as broken as I was by Amber’s disappearance, insisted on walking me home. He didn’t say it out loud, but I knew he was scared that I, too, might vanish and never come back.

It's Hump Day, folks, and our friend demands a sacrifice. Let's get a page from your wip. Maybe it's the middle for you? Give us a line from PAGE 516

Haven't gotten to page 516 yet? How about just 16, then?

When Drohim first offered for Seff to become his squire, her parents were delighted; Seff herself had some questions.

“What happened to your last squire?” I suddenly thought to ask. No matter what the stories said, helping a holy warrior into battle had to have its hazards. At least squires didn’t have to worry about falling into the fermentation casks.

#Septopolis 3

This is the last loosely generic "warm-up" prompts. Previously built up or being made fresh here live, is this place inspired by somewhere else?

If you've got a unique information or research source, like specific books or niche websites, share them!

#WritingCommunity #Writesky
A daily prompt card for #Septopolis 2025, hosted by @khonri.bsky.social. Sept 3: Are you drawing from any particular real or fictional places or cultures as inspiration or reference points? Interpret each prompt as suits your needs! Yap! Or don't! Build a new place or talk about one you have. Make friends. The background features a third of the monthly card’s image, a slightly blurred and purple hued image of a set photograph of Main Commercial Street in Fritz Lang's Metropolis (UFA, 1927).

“Hey, Dan’l! Look at this.” The blacksmith shoved a piece of paper under Daniel’s nose.

“What is it?”

“A leg.”

“A what?” Daniel knew his friend didn't talk in riddles, but the drawing bore no resemblance to a horse’s leg. “Wh―? Why don’t you explain this to me.”

Kevra's first appearance. (Her appearance changes significantly over the course of the story.) Drohim and Seff follow a lead, subtly press a hapless employee for information, and make a terrible enemy.

Today’s #WIPsnips word is #nose. I had the perfect scene for this. Although you may never look at tomatoes the same way again… (any fellow tomato haters out there?)

#writing #wip #fiction #ya #WriteSky #queer #trans #horror
White text on a black background. "Hey, are you gonna eat those?" I look up. Andee is eyeing my tomatoes. "Oh hell no, go ahead." Andee reaches across the table and grabs a handful of them. When I was little, I always thought tomatoes were the noses of Santas. Since I always saw so many Mall Santas, I figured that across the world there were billions of Santas, all with snowy white beards and cherry red noses. And I figured that some wack job went around cutting off these innocent bastards' noses and calling them "tomatoes." I guess I was screwy even as a little kid.

“Please– I'm not well enough to itch you,” Lawcket breathed, wishing his voice weren't so dry.
The life he wanted– oh how much he loved animals. He bent to kiss her nose, the tears spilling from his eyes.
The horse blew on him softly, at last seeming to understand that he was hurt.

“Make your cousin kick his ass again," Bex suggested. "Was fun to watch.”

Yves laughed, remembering the night Tawnie had broken Yandan’s nose in a bar fight. Sometimes his twin needed his face bashed and it was nice when other people recognized that.

My snip for #wipsnips today! Vegan vampire meets human robot at the end of the world. Trevor the vampire begins to wonder if he'd rather be lonely than deal with a mouthy robot.

Page of the comic. From the comic script: PAGE 3 - PANEL A Closeup of Zero, who is looking to the right. We’re close to them so we can see the implant in their ear. ZERO IS BLIND, AND LUCKILY THEIR RADAR IMPLANT STILL WORKS. PAGE 3 - PANEL B We’ve zoomed out and moved to the right from our previous position. Zero is on the left, looking right. One is now on the right side, kneeled down to look more closely at Zero, who is still laying on the ground. Zero and One both look extremely surprised. THEY DETECT A STRANGE ROBOT DIRECTLY AHEAD! PAGE 3 - PANEL C We’re zoomed in on just the faces of Zero and One, as they look at each other. Zero is on the left, and One is on the right. DESPITE BOTH SPEAKING, NEITHER SPEAKS THE SAME LANGUAGE! ZERO: WHAT ARE YOU? ONE: WHAT ARE YOU? PAGE 3 - PANEL D Zero is now standing up, rubbing their head with their right hand, because it hurts. They look injured and confused. Zero is standing on the left side of the frame. One is on the right side of the frame, looking judgemental, but concerned. THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER! ZERO: I DON’T FEEL SO GOOD. ONE: YOU DON’T LOOK TOO GOOD. PAGE 3 - PANEL E With Zero’s head on the left, and One’s head on the right, they’re looking at each other very hard, trying to figure out what the other one is, because they can’t just ask a question. Zero is even rubbing their chin with their index finger. ZERO: IT’S METAL LIKE A ROBOT, BUT IT HAS LEAVES AND LOOKS LIKE A DEER. MAYBE IT’S A LIVING ROBOT OF SOME KIND? ONE: IT’S SQUISHY LIKE A PLANT, BUT IT MOVES LIKE A ROBOT. MAYBE IT’S AN ANIMATE ORGANIC LIFE OF SOME KIND?

This really sums up all my feelings on this whole situation. You can be critical of itch for not speaking out about the situation sooner, but saying “they caved to facism” upsets me. The multi trillion dollar corporations who have monopolized payment processing in America put a gun to their head.

I'm going to outline for you exactly how the christofacists win, because it's an obnoxiously simple strategy but a reliably powerful one. You know that post that's like "I don't trust y'all to eat the rich because you'll just target a bunch of doctors and actors and forget about the people who do the real damage?" That's our communal Achilles Heel. Here's the play: Collective Shout organizes a bunch of phone calls to payment processors demanding the elimination of NSFW/LGBT/ETC content. Payment processors go "oh, that's a lot of phone calls, we should do something" and then tell Steam and Itch to comply with those demands or be cut off from being able to do business. Then Steam and Itch have to make a decision between cutting off an arm and clamping down, or take a stand and shoot themselves in the head, functionally nuking their entire platform which, especially for Steam, have exponentially farther reaching ramifications. Then our community gets mad at *them* and start calling them cowards and boot lickers and profess never to support them again. And like, yeah I get that getting mad at Itch is easy when you've got nothing to lose, but what the fuck with "I'll only support you, the comparatively small business with no real power as long as you can singlehandedly and successfully fight off the international might of the owners of theocratic capitalism with no further action from me?" like do people really not see the distance between creators and Itch (that's like, what? 30 people?) vs fucking Mastercard?? When the Goblin has Spider-man under his glider, we start throwing shit at him, we don't go "Damn, Spider-man, you said you'd save us. I guess you suck. Fuck you." So if you want to be more than a useful, reactionary pawn, I'm linking to a bunch of posts where smarter people than I are sharing payment processors phone numbers, scripts on how to talk to them, and other resources. If you do not pick up your phone and make that call you have *no* right to be mad at a company that has historically been pretty good about their support for creators and are likely trying to figure out how to weather this storm in real time.

that's the big thing. Don't yell. Don't scream. Respond in a way that convinces them you're a rational cool person and collective shout is more of a collective meltdown

IF you decide to contact these companies, be it phone, email, or whatever, be polite and friendly. The customer service people are not responsible for their business' policies, and they deal with enough shit as is.

HELLO COMRADES

Could anyone affected by Itch removing items please send any evidence they may have to myself? I am filing a report with the Australian Consumer Commission, as I have reason to believe that Itch removing access may be a violation of Australian Consumers rights!
