Hello, BlueSky.
I like to write stories; I like to encourage other people to write stories; I like to read stories.
I live with my wonderful wife, daughter, and dogs in the New Hampshire woods. The Elder Child and my Be'aspe live nearby.
I believe in libraries, integrity, kindness, & more stories.

Over the top good, ethical, of integrity. Wyan just messed up his defense in court because he corrected his advocate — she was proving that magnetic north-sense doesn't work in the place where he got lost, but he told everyone that his isn't magnetic.

Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders. Tell me about the ethics of your MC or any character who is important in your world's lore. Are they morally good? Morally grey? Do they have a belief contrary to what others around them believe in? Are there any acts they refuse to do?

We only rate dogs. This is a family of Suburban Gold Fairies. It's rare for them to travel together like this. Very magical but please only send dogs. Thank you... 13/10 for all (TT: hdbrosriley)

Yeah, your Antagonist has flaws, but what are some green flags of theirs?
🟩
Can't think of any/not applicable to your villain? What would THEY say are their green flags?
Not a person, but a construct/idea? What do proponents say?

Writers and TTRPG Players, today's character question!
If you gave your character a blank book, what would they fill it with? (Sketches, journal entries, day to day thoughts etc)

#HelpDesk draft the January '26 chapter (I keep trying to make this easier on myself and failing)
#RelicWorld do a big old Revision on Saturday, possibly inventing a new chapter.
