FFXIVwrite2025 Appreciation Post!
It's time for a (slightly late) FFXIVwrite2025 Appreciation Post to celebrate just some of the excellent writing produced by the FFXIV Community for the event!
Ethos. An inspirational piece from @houserosaire - what will Silvaineaux hold onto when he needs that last ounce of willpower to keep on going?
Muster. Still in Ishgard, but this time at the breakfast table rather than the battlefield... A fantastic set piece from @housedeaubemarle.
Fate. A thoughtful and reflective piece by @starrysnowdrop on determinism and the freedom to choose one's own actions.
Calling by @midnightmagicks. A difficult linkpearl conversation between old friends.
Training Day. A new life requires new tactics, especially when dealing with metaphysical monstrosities. A great piece of character development from @avampyone.
Shade by @soulshards. A short, but strikingly descriptive piece, that will stay with you after reading it.
Soul. A beautifully ethereal piece of writing by @ahollowgrave. Faith and love and something else besides.
Friable by @dane-ffxiv. An exploration of persistance and determination in the face of a steep learning curve.
Brave. A touching story of a fateful meeting and the beginnings of a new connection. By @chocoblep.
Form by @ainyan. A slice of family life, involving practicing slicing with weapons and some wistful coming of age dialogue.
Dense. An unexpected encounter in the Black Shroud startles a wary Viera woman and leaves her with some unanswered questions. An atmospheric piece by @wandererxiv.
Prank by @scrollsfromarebornrealm. A touching piece, simultaneously both endearing and sad, with some intriguing backstory for a certain Paladin.
Obviously this is just a small selection of pieces from a small selection of writers, but I think these examples are definitely worth checking out. I have posted the masterlist of my own FFXIVwrite2025 stuff elsewhere on this blog, but I can say for certain that nothing I wrote came close to the quality of these fantastic writers!
