INUYASHA x SAILOR MOON x D&D WILD MAGIC

Ohio wasn't great to begin with but it certainly didn't have magic and monsters. Thrust into the Realm, Kassidy will have to harness her new deity powers quickly...and then risk that very magic to save those she loves.

#questpit #rf #a #w (alpha draft)
A photo of a printed manuscript with the title CRYSTAL CHASERS (alpha draft). The manuscript is surrounded by crystals, romantasy stickers, pens and note pads, flowers, and highlighters A picture of fireworks in the night sky with the following snippet of text over it: She hoped the Midwest linguist customs wouldn't be her mark here. “Just be glad I haven’t used the word ‘y’all’ yet.” The laugh that came out of him rattled through her, such a boisterous and sudden sound like she had physically dragged it out of him. Her five little orbs of light flashed to life around her from the sped up heart rate. It only increased further when he locked his gaze with hers again. “That’s not an actual word.” She narrowed her eyes at him. “It’s an actual word. Lots of people where I’m from use it.” Her lights flickered to a deep yellow, like a traffic light warning to proceed with caution. Something in his gaze softened again, those cat-like eyes reflecting the stars like little golden galaxies. “Do you know your eyes glow when you use your magic?” Kassidy blinked. She had no idea. “Like…in a weird way?” Her lights were the only light source now, painting them both in a muted orange glow. The fireworks had ended, but she didn’t remember when that was, swallowed up entirely when he seemed to lean closer, all five lights glowing like glittering fireflies. “It’s not weird, it’s—” Screenshots of comments overlaying a picture of books. The comments are positive and praise the WIP for great pacing, a hook of an opener, and wanting to buy the book for their bookshelf A young woman sitting distressed at a table reading the WIP

Kassidy could only hope they all remained unharmed as that pull came back to her, tugging her into a new direction. Her fear of the water and the creatures in it fell to the wayside, the pull of a crystal overriding her senses. “Where are we going exactly?” Xak asked, taking easy steps and being careful not to kick up the water too much. “There’s a crystal around here,” Rio answered after she failed to, wholly focused on her magic and the pull of said crystal. “And why is it that you seem to answer for her a lot lately, Hawthorne?” Xak asked, his words clipped. “Subtle, aren’t you, Harlowe?” Rio replied flippantly. “I have no idea what you mean.” “I’d like to believe you’re smarter than that.” Xak scoffed. “Smart enough to know exactly what’s going on.” Kassidy spun on her heel, making the two behind her come to a stop. “Are y’all seriously arguing right now?”

ok you caught me, I've used this snippet before but wowwie the whole scene is so emotional

#writingcommunity #wip #writesky
In the background there is a dark sky and tree branches with the shadowed silhouette of an owl with glowing eyes . The snippet text is over it and it reads: The fey’s eyes bored into her and she flinched when he loomed closer still. “You dream of home,” he whispered and then he ruffled his feathers. “But not all of those dreams are happy ones.” Kassidy’s eyes went wide, and she shook her head. “Why do you…what do you mean?” The Owl blinked at her for the second time. “There is a terrible sadness in your thoughts of home. It also taints many of your memories—” “Stop it.” Everyone froze when Kassidy dared to interrupt the ancient fey who only kept staring at her, his head now cocked as if he didn’t understand. She only shook her head and Ezra could easily see the sheen of tears forming, but she didn’t turn or back away. “I don’t need to hear that my memories are sad. Stop using your magic to read my mind or whatever.” The Owl blinked for the third time, and Ezra knew whatever the fey had seen in Kassidy softened his resolve a bit. What did he see to cause such a reaction?

November 13th – build

Av’ry, Fox, and Mikiva explore a draconic ruin.

Unfortunately, it isn’t really designed for humans to navigate it.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Av’ry had been walking ahead, sweeping the torch over the floor, but suddenly he stopped and held his arm out, halting them both. “What is it?” Fox asked. “Look for yourself.” He held the torch out in front of him. She followed his gaze into the seemingly bottomless chasm in front of them. “Ah, yes. I had wondered if we would see another one of these.” The shaft that descended into the mountain was much like the one back in Cillvala; this had clearly been the dragons’ preferred method of transit between floors. “It seems like the previous occupants had little use for stairs or ladders, unfortunately,” Av’ry said. “And no one got in before us to set up bridges, this time.” Mikiva sighed. “Good thing we came prepared.” Fox dropped her pack and retrieved the thick coils of rope. We just need to find something to affix this to, and hopefully we can drop down to the lower levels.” “And what if we need to get across?” Mikiva asked. “How about we build that bridge when we get to it, huh?” Fox replied.

Noah just has a few questions about this place...

From chapter 1 of #Tenement, my dystopian mystery about people living in an infinite building.
“Noah Boy,” she’d say to me, pinching my ear. “They’ll really be after you. You think all those bad thoughts—makes you as tasty to them as a chocolate truffle.” I didn’t exactly know what a chocolate truffle was. (According to legend, Nan Enokido had once stumbled across one in an empty room when she was a young woman, and had spent the rest of her life hoping to find another.) But I knew what she meant. She always said things like that to me, especially when I would get into one of what my father called my “why moods.” Why hasn’t anyone ever tried going all the way to the end of the Tenement? I’d ask. Or, Why do we even have a Front Door if we’re not allowed to open it? Why don’t we ever see the Landlord? How do we know there’s really nothing outside of the Tenement? If the Tenement’ll fall apart without the Rules, then why didn’t the Landlord just build it better in the first place? “Noah.” My father would sigh at my questions. “Please stop.” I didn’t mean any harm. But those questions were always popping into my head. If someone had given me some good answers, I would have stopped asking.

I love the fast-paced scenes but the calm quiet ones are nice too ❤️

“It doesn’t snow here but it does get cold.” She sat straight up, the motion almost making her dizzy as her brain made a sudden connection. He’s never left the castle so—“Wait, so you’ve never seen snow?” He shook his head. “Never.” She gripped the back of the chair to steady herself as if she would slide to the ground at any moment. “We should build a snowman while we’re there.” She didn’t miss the faint uptick of his mouth before he spoke again, “You’ll probably have more important things to do.” What was more important than playing in the snow for the first time? Her thoughts were becoming muddled, unable to focus on the topic at hand. It took her a minute to realize she was now hugging the back of the chair to keep herself from going to the floor. “It really does feel like you’re drunk, huh?” Another half smile from him. Why didn’t he do that more? He was so handsome when he smiled. “I warned you.”

Rio waited for Xak to follow, but he stayed where he was; he folded his arms across his chest, a very strained smile on his face like he knew once Kassidy was out of earshot, he would drop the pleasantries. Fine. He copied the guard's stance. “Go on, Harlowe.” That polite smile did drop into a frown, that picture-perfect mask of calmness falling, and Xak shook his head at him. “You are still so glaringly obvious, Hawthorne.” His brows shot up at the same time Xak’s did. “Am I wrong?” Rio shrugged, knowing the flippant attitude got under the guards skin the most. “I happen to think I’m being very subtle—” “Do you like her or not,” Xak growled, the sheer force behind it catching Rio of guard, “because I swear to the entire Realm, Prince, if you are merely playing with her—” “You’re gonna spit blood the next time you spit out that title at me,” Rio warned. He wouldn’t follow through for Kassidy’s sake, but it was tempting. “But no, I am not playing with her.” Nothing about this felt like playing, if anything it was unnerving how desperate it made him feel.

Sef is tasked by the local royal family to use his magic to find their missing prince. There's just one problem: Sef doesn't actually *have* any magic, and if anyone discovers he's a fraud, he'll be executed. This is fine.

"You’re always typing away, but never on that novel.” 📖

If the idea of someone reading your old fanfic out loud, while you're helpless to stop it, scares you...start writing before he comes.
