Writeblr Introduction

Hi everyone! I'm new to the writeblr community, and I've seen that a lot of writeblrs have introduction posts, so here's mine!

***

My name is Apple! I've been writing forever, but I eventually lost motivation with it, as my work kept piling up. I'm at Uni now, and I want to get back into writing!

Genres~

My favourite genres are Apocalypse, Fantasy, and Science Fiction - my love being Science Fiction! Usually the things I write are a weird mix of the three. I also enjoy reading these! I really don't like romance, so all of my work will not be romance based, or will have small romantic sub-plots.

WIP~

I have a lot of WIPs that I need to start, but the idea is there! (The problem with most of my work is that it just stays in my head!!) My current WIP is a Vampire detective noir set in a futuristic, blade runner-esque city. It is a mix of blade runner (as referenced before!!), matrix, and your classic detective-noir movies. I was also inspired by the game 'The Wolf Among Us' - I love how they mix classic fairytales with the gritty, gruesome backdrop of a corrupt city. Many of my works are inspired by video games!

Books I'm reading and recommend~

I am currently reading 'In the Miso Soup' by Ryu Murakami, and I'm loving it so far!! I love weird and strange books, so this murder mystery really gripped me within the first few pages. I can't wait to find out what happens next! (Also, I did pick this up to look at because of the cover!! Don't judge a book by its cover and all that, but the cover for this book is incredible!)

Some more books I would recommend are:

Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky - A post-apocalyptic book set in the Moscow Metro. We follow Artyom as he journeys through the Metro to deliver a message.

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin - Set in a totalitarian state, we see the change of perspective of our main character, D-503, through a series of journal entries.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk - The book that went on to become a cult-classic film, this book tells the story of the mysterious Narrator, and his relationship with Tyler - a charismatic soap salesman and extremist.

The Whole Town is Sleeping by Ray Bradbury - A short story following Lavinia Nebbs as she walks home amidst rumours of a woman-strangler. The descriptions of the town and the environment are so good, it makes me feel like I am in the book, sitting there with Lavinia!

The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster - A short story about an isolated world, where people are taken care of, and can only communicate to one another through the use of machines.

the amount of times i feel like I've spelled something wrong when writing but it doesn't show up with a red line but i still go and google it just to make sure

what's been going on

Hey! I've been inactive for a long time now. I haven't written in years, and I thought opening a blog would inspire me to write more! But, it's actually done the opposite, unfortunately. I worried that my writing wouldn't be good enough to post online, and that no one would be interested in it. But then, over the past few weeks, I've had a revelation! I don't care! No one online knows the real me - My account is ultimately anonymous. I enjoy writing, and I shouldn't let the opinions of others I will most likely never meet stop me from doing what I want!

Long paragraph haha, but the TL;DR is I'm only one of many people online, and I should write because I want to, not because I'm trying to impress anyone.

No intro post just needed to share some stuff i did for my "book" (dont think it deserve this appellation lol) 1st i created a full font with an alphabet i created (still dont know if i'm going to use this)

2nd everytime i imagine a quote that can hit hard i need to associate or create a character to fit it

3rd talking about my future character all the time without even creating an id card for them

4th everytime i log in pinterest there is dozen of images i can use for characters so i save them (even tho half of it wouldnt even be used)

5th spamming my friend with all of my idea plot without writing about it

6th searching for stuff like "title of nobility" just to have more realism

Blog introduction post or something...

Hello, first some information about me:

My name is Thea, pronouns are she/her (maybe they?), I’m acespec, arospec, and autistic. I speak German and English and I am trying to learn how to speak Italian and Swedish. I’m a big fan of the fantasy genre and like to read, write, draw, play the piano, and occasionally play video games. I also love birds and science.

Now, this blog is supposed to be about my WIPs, I want to share my writing and also maybe some of my art (and maybe music? We’ll see). Since I’m not really used to putting my writing out there, it’s going to take a bit before I really start to post about it. For now, I will also post and reblog stuff about the things I love on here (might move that to a different blog in the future, who knows).

Anyway, here’s a short overview about some of the stuff I’m currently working on:

Galidean: A fantasy series that was supposed to be a trilogy but has grown into a much longer series. But I guess that is what happens when you look a three different projects and think to yourself "wouldn't it be hilarious if the took place in the same setting". So, the sereis can be divided into three different "eras" with their own little "main plot", but there is also a plotline running through all of them mostly in the background.

A hundred years after the joined victory over the Dark Sun, the human nations gather together in celebration. Future leaders attend a journey through each other's home, during which it becomes clear that scorching raids have left their marks over all the territories. With no apparent culprit, a prince, an orphan, a lord, and a sorcerer band together to find the power that turns banishment into death. With the help of a friend and a sibling, they start chasing mysteries and legends across the world, unaware that they all take root from the wounds of the world itself.

Old Gods: A fantasy series consisting of 3 – 4 books, while I also wanted it to be horror, that part has gotten somewhat lost while developing it. Oh well.

Cyr was young when the war started, he was young when he joined it and he was not so young anymore when the enemy captured him. After four years of imprisonment, he comes to terms with his inevitable fate. Surrounded by enemies, hated by his allies, stripped of his magic and will, there is no escape for him. While the voices and visions invade both day and night, Cyr prepares for his final day. His only true solace is the new courtesan who has endless stories of hope and rebirth to tell him.

The Human in Us: An urban fantasy series, that really is just two characters and my investment in their relationship in a trench coat. All started by me looking at different supernatural YA stories and going “wonder how I would do that”.

Students, alcohol and an abandoned house should have been the set-up for a fun, maybe spooky anecdote in their future. It should not twist and turn and talk, it should not turn nightmares real, it should not make Josephine’s hallucinations even more vivid and grotesque. Yet it does, and one month later, a burning girl appears to give her an envelope containing an address and a promise of answers.

There Are Voices In the Void: A sci-fi horror story, set in the same setting as a different sci-fi project of mine, but story-wise not connected to it.

While investigating a nebula, the scientists of the crew gather samples of cosmic dust, finding an unknown organism on it. The head biologists determines it to be deceased and proceeds with further testing. The death of two of his colleagues soon afterwards is just the beginning of the nightmare.

Little Remains: A bit of crime fiction/thriller, that happened by me looking at YA mystery series and going “wonder how I would do that”.

Detective Morgan has worked on many gruesome cases in the past, most of them took place in bigger cities with an anonymous population. When a teenage girl is found dead in the fields of a small town nearby, Morgan first assumes an outsider to be the murderer of the unidentified victim. However, with the murder of a local student a few days later, even the tight-knit community quickly realises that one of them is far more familiar with the gruesome case than the rest of them. Unwilling to sit back, the student’s friends start their own investigation, while Morgan begins to struggle with old ghosts.  

Also, I'm writing this introduction while sick, so some of this might not make much sense. I caught the part where I wrote "animals" instead of "enemies" but I no doubt missed something.

would love to do beta reading and critiquing to help improve both of our writing!

also a sucker for any epic fantasy, dark fantasy, sci-fi, corruption or redemption arcs, stories where the villains are the main character (especially this!!!), and an ACTUAL enemies to lovers trope
