a writeblr (re)introduction

it’s been awhile since my last intro, and a lot has changed about my blog since then, so i thought i’d give you guys an update. couldn’t come up with a cool way to set up that header so i went with my bio header which is ironically taken from a wip i no longer write about

--about.

i’m cindy, 21, she/her, bi ace, chinese/taiwanese, all that good stuff c: this blog is a sideblog, and you can find me on my main @kagetatsumis which is a multifandom but mostly litblr. you can also find me on twitter @/cindycwrites where i post about my writing and may be more up to date than tumblr!

i like to write ya fantasy, because that’s the genre i love to read the most, and i’m a sucker for slowburn romances, found family, and character driven plots. if that’s what you’re into, then you should def be checking out my wips below:

--my wips.

crowned

if there is one thing the captain of the royal guard and the anshetti assassin have in common, it’s a determination to prevent the impeding war. when xinlan watches her best friend and princess of her country die, she turns to unconventional allies in order to do the impossible: produce an heir to the throne.

intro | wip tag 

(i’ve changed the names of the people!! i’m going to go through and retag the excerpts with their proper names but if you want to be up to date with their names, the new intro has all the correct info!)

the phoenix mark

on avery’s sixteenth birthday, the world turns upside down, disrupting the lives of six individuals as they’re thrown into a contradictory predicament that they will either be humanity’s savior or destruction. the six of them run headlong into fate and straight into the paths of each other, and find that maybe they won’t have to worry about fate if they kill each other first.

and so i rise

many believe hesen is on a mission of vengeance, but in reality, it is a mission of truth. torn apart by her grief over her sister’s death, hesen strikes out to find a sorcerer willing to help her shake the world apart. she wants to erase magic completely, and she is going to do so by killing the gods.

intro | wip tag 

we burn so bright

when a mysterious stranger saves aris and her best friends from her execution, she’s forced to set on a journey to figure out why the gods have abandoned the land. struggling to stop her ever growing power, aris finds that the companions she travels with may not be who they claim they are, and that maybe the gods haven’t been so silent after all.

WRITEBLR INTRO: @atelierwriting

hi there, writeblr! i’ve been inactive for a long time (1+ years probably) and want to get back into the writing community here, so consider this my brand new introduction.

i’m tris, 20+, perpetually sleep-deprived, and the best at writing when i say i’m not and not writing when i say i am. i like to read, listen to music, play video games, and write. i’m also on twitter at @/triswrites.

WIPS:

cranesong: a prince, a thief, an assassin, and a liar walk into a bar. only one of them is who they say they are. this is the land of gods, monsters, and mortals. watch your back.

at the top of the tower of cranes is an untold treasure. whoever reaches it first will be pardoned for their crimes and freed from the prison. but for four, what they seek goes beyond the so-called treasure. they have nothing left to lose. at the top of the tower rests their future, no matter what it may be. fantasy. rapunzel meets tower of god.

haven: pride is a sin. arrogance will be your undoing. though you do not believe this, you will fall and you will understand what they say about you.

benjamin herschel hates haven lin, and haven hates him back. but when benji watches haven climb from a painting with a stolen sword, he finds himself pulled into a dangerous world of magic and secret societies. the worst part about it? haven is the only reason he is still alive. contemporary fantasy. enemies to lovers if “enemies” means obsessing over someone and “lovers” means roommates but rivals.

i seem to have gathered a random large following of ppl in the last few days haha. hello ! happy to have you here except i actually very much do not post here much anymore (if at all) and will be limiting things here to graphics that i do happen to make and will most likely be deleting my excerpts soon for privacy reasons and because i’m querying those works. if you’d like real updates on my writing and have twitter i’d be happy to see yall over on my twitter @/cindycwrites

[herondalelucies]

hello! could i please be added to all your wips? thanks!

hello ! so this blog is actually very much on a semi-hiatus and i'm not sure if i'm going to be continuing uploading much content on here! if anything they will only be graphics and i'm not sure i'll be tagging for those. but thank you for the interest! if you have a twitter i'd point you towards the one linked in my pinned just because i'm much more active over there and sometimes share things about my works such as CROWNED or AND SO I RISE <3

⤑ @tsainami's writeblr re-introduction.

hello everyone! it's been... a while. my name is sai, i'm mixed asian and i write sff. i've been offline due to... being in my 20s... but here's an announcement to say i'm back! soft-back, but back. stay tuned for posts. (and reblogs. lots of reblogs.)

below is a list of the wips i'll be posting about.

hundred year dawn (hyd) ya fantasy about a girl cursed to care for a greenhouse in the underworld. features a form of hanahaki, goblins, gods and a ghibli-esque world.

practice wip (speaker) upper ya/adult fantasy. i'm half discovery writing this one so all i can say is the sandman meets inkheart. has a fang runin in tpw & tdr type protagonist but if she had a sister she's obsessed with. (also if you know the webtoon the great mage returns after 4000 years, the demigods are similar to the ones there.)

to any friends who follow older wips: i no longer post about them. they've either been shelved (vampire sword wip, formerly known as grave mercy) or discarded (wicked, the 91 days greek mythology thing) to form newer versions. voidwalker (formerly known as a bazaar for magic) is alive and well though and the page is still up and will be receiving updates.

— a reintroduction to writeblr.

hello everyone! i went a little m.i.a. for a bit as my first year of uni drew to a close and i had to deal with moving and visa madness, but i'm finally back and with more to talk about than ever.

i'm dan (they/them), a german-american living in london. you may see me follow you from my main @engelboy and you might also know me from my theme blog @engelthm (both still on hiatus.) i'm currently focussing on one wip, called a treatise of tyrants and thieves, an epic political fantasy which you can learn more about below. i also do cartography commissions, which you can learn more about on my cartography insta, @/cherubs.jpeg.

you can expect me to ramble far more than usual as my third draft reaches its second half and i come closer to opening slots for beta reads! and, of course, more worldbuilding tidbits.

as always, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your ongoing support and love!

— a reintroduction to the wip.

a treatise of tyrants and thieves (atotat)

epic, political fantasy the directory | wip tag | wattpad (new account!)

loryhn taalvosayn, heir to the eldest of all vsyhna's highborn houses, ensnared by the laws of his own home, has left a legacy shattered. what remains of it, aras sovakhayn stole. a boy noble in name only, he now wears the circlet of arkan, ruling what was meant to have been loryhn's. but his new and fragile power remains threatened by whispers of rebellion, of falling empires, and on-coming wars.

lower, in the sunken cities far beneath the cliffs of the capital, hides saade vanhanen, an adjurationist running from her foreign empire, and all the same looking for answers within the shadowed halls of the gray. she will need the help of kiru ostayliin, a collector of secrets with their own hopes of uncovering a history long buried. but it is their joint pasts, and the crimes which already haunt them, that will be more dangerous than anything vsyhna's cities already hold.

a single betrayal; two creeds of sworn vengeance; three watchers of the world below; and four lives, bound to the same destiny.

— enjoy your stay!

sometimes i remember i had other names for crowned’s characters when i randomly blank on xinlan’s name or when i see all my old posts that i never bothered to fix where everyone but tanashi’s names are different

[carnivallsarchive]

— about.

likes: blind devotion or codependence between characters, body horror, magic with a price, religious themes, etc etc.

dislikes/opinions to make me speedrun enemies to lovers with people in my inbox: the soulmate trope is bad, second person pov is underrated, donna tartt is overrated, romantic hades/persephone retellings strip me of my rights

you can find my wips under each tag by their name (ie, #terras town) and specific lore on characters if you look up theirs (ie, #lev alvarez).

— wips.

i have a number of wips, but for now i’ll only detail the one that matters, with the others filed under #wip introduction if anyone wants to take a look. this is my oldest project, and the one i feel most strongly about completing.

TERRAS TOWN.

genre: urban fantasy

themes: escapism, betrayal, violence as catharsis, need for control, grieving complicated relationships, seeing Yourself reflected in the Other, a mc totally serrated from the Plot, corruption arcs, feral women

summary:

Terras Town is another world; the heavier side of the same coin.

It's unclear how Terras Town was ever formed to start with. Legend has it one world exists as a skewed reflection of the other, with dreams being shared in sleep and life being lived through two pairs of eyes. The two towns are kept apart by a thin barrier older than time itself- and twice as sensitive to change.

Terras Town is another world - and there’s a reason it’s been kept at bay.

Which is why when Lev Alvarez, an eighteen year old girl with run-down sneakers and fresh lined guilt, finds herself having mysteriously fallen into Terras Town with no idea how to return, she knows it's only a matter of time before the barrier breaks - and her world comes crashing down on them all.

Lev’s only hope is a mysterious girl named Eve, and her insistence that she’ll find a way to help Lev get home. But why does Lev get the feeling there's more to the story than what's being let on? And what does it mean when the girl who’s never stopped running finally starts to feel at home?

Terras Town is another world. And you can't get a taste of another world without it cutting your tongue.

WE ARE UNSUPER… THE SUPERPOWER POINT

i know i’ve introduced unsuper at least 20 twenty times at this point but i’ve been meaning to make an updated power point since the last one was from all the way back in 2018 and was BADLY outdated (britta and preston were still a thing there and i could not have that out in the world) so here we go again ✨ there was definitely a lot more i wanted to add but i feel like i’ve already mentioned everything there is to mention without spoilers so if you’re still looking for more deets about unsuper, my wip server has plenty of extras and a few chapters up to read so you should join the party here 🥳

i also wanted to get this power point out now since i’ve reached 20k in the draft and i’m determined to finally finish book 1 within 2022! i’ve been working unsuper since around 2015 and while it’s changed a lot within the past oh geez 7 years i’ve never managed to fully finish a draft for it. i’ve finally reached a point where i’m confident with where the story is going and slightly better about my writing thanks to the support of my friends and those of you who have been following along for the ride. it will be tough since i’ve literally. never finished a single draft of anything before. but i’m making it my goal to do it so i’m going push through anyway! i’ll be doing monthly updates for my progress on here and on my writing twitter and my server so be prepared for an unsuper filled year bc i am GOING TO FINISH THIS DRAFT AAAAAAA!!!

THE HERRINGBONE SEARCH. wip by @atelierwriting

KANT STATES THAT “MORALITY IS NOT PROPERLY THE DOCTRINE OF HOW WE MAY MAKE OURSELVES HAPPY, BUT HOW WE MAY MAKE OURSELVES WORTHY OF HAPPINESS.” that was isaac sobol’s favorite quote. it wasn’t because he liked kantian ethics, or that he liked philosophical debates at all, but it was because it was exactly the sort of pretentious thing people would expect a boy from northview academy to dispute.

in which: a boy goes missing, a new girl arrives, and livie chow has a secret. dark academia. girl from nowhere meets how we fall apart. prequel to the drowned girl

accountability: 1/30 chapters complete
