Writeblr Intro! (I think?)
I admit Iâm kind of new to pretty much all of this, posting, Tumblr, Writeblr, you name it. I donât really know what to write here, but, thatâs a statement Iâm sure that most of us have made many a time staring at an empty notebook page, an empty document, an empty file, so as with all those, best to just get to it, right?
Of what Iâve gathered seeing some of these while just scrolling and looking around, I take it youâre supposed to write some stuff about yourself in these, and while Iâm absolutely dismal at doing that, Iâll do my best! Hereâs some stuff I love!
Writing and reading fantasy in particular, from the high to the low and all of the stuff in between!
Contemporary fantasy, supernatural fiction, and urban fantasy are just great yâall.
Anything Sci-Fi. Seriously. From the more energetic and hopeful daring explorations to the cosmic horror and soul-shaking solitude of the abyss, all of it is just so damn brilliant. Especially if thereâs science in the science fiction!
Sharing ideas! Talk about peopleâs WIPs, characters, and just hearing from all these brilliant and creative people! Itâs just such a human experience to hear the excitement in someone voice or writing when they share things about something they put so much work and time and love into, yâknow?
WORLDBUILDING. Thereâs just something about a world thatâs well thought out with little details, or just unique, and vibrant, and creative that makes me happy, and, per what I said above? Hearing about peopleâs worlds is the BEST.
Mortally gray characters, Queer characters, Morally gray queer characters.
As for just general stuff:
Oversized anything, hoodies, sweaters, all of it is so comfy!
Drawing! I do traditional art with just pencil and paper, and hope to draw more stuff for the stuff I write, although I get caught in the trap of striving to perfectionism too oftenâŠ
Music! My taste is all over the place, but, I guess itâs really just anything that catches my ear, that Iâll enjoy! Soundtrack-style music is probably what Iâd describe to be my favorite stuff though, music I can see scenes being written to, which is often times a process of inspiration for me.
DnD is just wild. If you write and havenât ever played youâre missing out. If you just havenât played in general, youâre missing out! I DM for a few friends of mine, though I admit not too often though I wish I couldâŠ
Iâm a guy, still figuring stuff out but I guess Bi and Pan are labels that fit, and he/him, but Iâve been called lots and I accept any!
Iâve got three! Two are mine, one is a collaboration Iâm writing together with my partner cause theyâre a brilliant writer too, and are so much better at writing and creating character dynamics than me, and theyâre the person who got me into writing in the first place!
Mundi Somniorum / Circa Specturgia
Title is a work in progress as Iâm not too happy with it, canât decide which one I prefer over the other. I canât say I have a wordcount Iâm aiming at, but itâs the world and characters Iâve put the most work into, and plan to continue, and see where it goes! Iâm not sure how to describe the genre as I was never too good with the genre stuff but Iâd say I just add whatever I feel is interesting to a high fantasy world with some magic realism set in the 1500-1700s! If I like something I find a way to add it, weave it in and incorporate it into the patchwork, and I find that to be the most fun!
Found family, enemies-to-lovers, very-close-knit main cast, lots of magic and queerness and pain, and a vibrant and expansive world I hope to continue expanding on!
Iâll tag it as #circa specturgia and #wip.circa specturgia when I post about it!
Technically is kinda sorta a bit of a fanficâŠ? I think? Is it a fanfic if all you took from canon was some character archetypes and the general direction and scenario from the opening of the show? Iâll just call it a WIP idk.
A story inspired by VLD and fueled by spite and disgruntled annoyance at the train-wreck of a dumpster fire that it became, I love it so much. Lots of inspiration taken from stories like Interstellar, and The Martian, and fandoms like SCP, forming a sort of Sci-fi story! Pretty much anything that I find to be cool Sci-fi that doesnât quite fit in my more fantasy oriented WIP, goes in here!
The crew of the first superluminal interstellar voyage, the Prometheus, become lost outside the observable universe, in unknown space, more than 46.5 billion light years from home, with no feasible way to return. Soon however, they find they are far from being alone, surrounded by the ruins of alien civilizations, and unraveling the mystery of what happenedâŠ.
The album âExogenesisâ by Audiomachine for the vibes if anyone feels like looking into em, and Audiomachine in general since they make great music for inspiration!
Iâll tag it as #prometheus and #wip.prometheus when I post about it!
