Day 1: (Re-)Introduce yourself and/or your creations

Blog introductions are a staple of the whump community! You can find new whumpers introducing themselves constantly in the #whumpintro and #whumpcommunity tags! If you haven’t formally introduced yourself yet, take today as an opportunity to do so! Tell us as much or as little about yourself as you want–who you are, what sorts of whump you love, what content we can expect to see on your blog, favorite color, etc.! If you’re stuck on what to write about yourself, feel free to use this template we made a previous year for introductions!

If you’ve been around a while and have already introduced yourself, feel free to re-introduce yourself for any new followers, give an update on how you’re doing and/or take a moment to give an overview of any whumpy projects you may be working on at the moment!

You can reblog this post with your introduction, or make your own post (there’s a banner available on our blog at #wijbanner if you’d like)! Make sure to use the tags #whumpmasinjuly2023 and #wij23day1 so that others can find your post, and be sure to check out the tags to see all the awesome works this month!  Make sure to tag @whumpmasinjuly-archive so your works can be featured on our official archive blog!

Whumpmas in July #1

Introduce yourself.

hi! i'm mill and i'm a whump writer. i've been writing since march of last year, and this is my second year participating in WIJ!

my writing masterlist is here! the main thing to check out is my main series, Kane & Jim, about a vampire whumper-turned-whumpee whose former victim takes care of him after he's tortured by vampire hunters.

i really like nonhuman whumpees (especially vampire whumpees). for this event, i will be devoting 5 of the writing prompts to my main series, and the others will apply to 5 whumpees of varied species: a borrower (tiny whump), a vampire unrelated to my main series, a fairy, an alien, and an immortal.

i also have a g/t (giant/tiny) sideblog @smallsday, where i blog about characters with size differences. there is a g/t event going on this july too, GT July, and while i won't be completing GT July like i will with WIJ, i'm going to combine a few prompts and some of my WIJ pieces will also function as GTJ entries. yay for tiny whump!

here are my answers to the WIJ introduction questions! i filled these out last year too, but some of them have changed:

❤️ Name: mill

💛 Gender: bigender (man/woman), though i'm leaning more masculine as of late

💙 Favorite season: fall

❤️ Average amount of sleep: LOL (barely better than when i gave this answer last year)

💛 Dream job: retiree so i can focus on writing as a hobby. however, my current job of teaching kids to read is also very fun :)

💙 Blog established: february 2022

❤️ Reason for URL: had dinner at friday’s that night and based it on their slogan "gere, it's always friday." my blog title used to be "here, it's always whumpsday."

💛 Fave Whump Tropes: immortal whumpees, nonhuman whumpees (especially vampires or demons), whumper turned whumpee, tiny whump, deprivation of basic needs (food, water, sleep, touch, air. especially air), claustrophobia, gore, captivity, recovery / comfort / sweet sweet caretaking

💙 Projects you’re working on: mainly just my main series, Kane & Jim! tried adding other stuff before and stretched myself too thin, so just that for now, plus some one-shots.

❤️ Favorite color: red

💛 Anything else you’d like to add: this is my favorite seasonal whump event, bar none. i love the little activities and how the writing prompts leave breathing room by being spread out.

[little-peril-stories]

hi!

Hiiiii! It's still July 1 where I live, so I'm sneaking this in. I probably won't participate in every day of this event, but I'll try to jump in where I can! <3

You can find my 2023 reintro here!

I'm pretty much at @little-peril-stories fully now, but you may see some posts from my sideblog @littleperilstories floating around. I recently migrated from there!

name: Kate | age: grownup | pronouns: she/her

I love: captivity, kidnapping, dungeons, angst, historical and fantasy whump

I write: all of the above, and apparently romance with whump, now, too

I read: whatever strikes my fancy in the moment + whatever I need to read for my day job

I listen to: punk-pop-rock that was cool (questionable) when I was in high school, musicals

Favourite season: autumn

Average amount of sleep: lol

Blog established: just before Whumptober 2022

Reason for URL: I like to lean into dread, angst, and—you got it—peril in my stories; I like how open-ended the idea of peril is.

Favourite whump tropes: noble sacrifice. tied/chained up. kidnapped. arrested. collapse/fainting. defiance. hair grab. chin tilt. manhandled. angst. fear.

Projects you’re working on:

On Tumblr

>> The Queen of Lies, an AU for my complete historical prison whump story The Prince of Thieves. Expect: nineteenth century prison, shackles, corrupt authorities, romance, mean men, angst

>> angsty heist wip, which does have a title but only I know it. Expect: kidnapping, blackmail, power plays, romance, mean men, angst

Off Tumblr

>> Book 2 of my YA fantasy trilogy, abbreviated to I&I. This is my Camp Nanowrimo project!

Favourite colour: blue or green!

Thanks for reading!!

Day 1: Re-introduction

Hello! This is my second time doing Whumpmas in July. I probably won't do every day, but with luck might do most. Last year I wrote a longish intro, and I have an intro post on my blog, so this year I'll keep it short (and inspired by the WiJ template).

Name: [Redacted.] Just call me Verkja on here.

Gender & pronouns: Man, he/him.

On whumpblr since: February 2022.

Current project(s): Just one - my (slowly) ongoing longer story. It's novel-format fantasy/adventure whump with a lot of angst. I also have a BTHB card which I update occasionally.

Top 5 whump tropes: Mutual caretaking, older whumpees, social outcast whump, angst, gore. And friendship, but - not exactly a whump trope.

That's about it! Looking forward to seeing everyone's entries to this event.

Oh, and @verkja is a sideblog. My main blog is @oldwoolhat, so if you see likes from there, it's me.

[silvercap]

I wasn't sure if I'd end up doing this, but I've kind of been pulled out of a creativity slump lately, and I want to take full advantage, so here goes!

INTRODUCTION:

Hey, I'm silvercap! I go by she/her, and I've been on tumblr as a whump/fanfic writer since around last fall. I've loved whump my entire life, even before I had a name for it, and I will be forever grateful that I stumbled across this community! My ao3 account is under the same name :)

Stuff I like: Blood loss, poison, semi-consciousness, unconsciousness, fevers, hospitals and the occasional medical whump, painful wound-tending, characters needing to physically support one another, environmental whump, and more! I like a lot of physical whump, and I don't care if it gets messy.

Stuff I don't like: captivity/pet tropes (a little bit of torture can be fun, but I don't like the ones that last for days and days and completely break a character. Not as fun for me!), whumpers in general. Non/con isn't a trigger or anything, but I would prefer not to read it.

I write for Resident Evil, mainly, and I have quite a few projects in the works!! I'm excited to get them out there, but I struggle with motivation and sometimes it takes me a while, haha. Usually I try to stick with whumpier Resi content on this blog, but sometimes the regular stuff sneaks in :)

Feel free to send me asks about anything at all! I'd love to talk to people!

Hello, my name is Breezy and I’ve had this blog for a good few years!! I go by They/Them, and I am an Adult. When I like and comment on posts it come from my main blog @mottinthemainpot

Right now I am doing a Tiny Whump CYOA that usually includes artwork. Its called Hamster Interactive Story and can be found here to read!! :)

I am also doing figuwhumpjuly this year, its a whumpy july drawing event.

I am also an artist and post my art on this blog often!! Usually reblogged from my art blogs @mottinthepot and @mottinthepot18

I did WIJ last year and it hardly feels like a year went by!! Im excited to see what people come up with this year! On a last note, I love chatting with people about their ocs, my dms are open if anyone wants to say hi.

[tragedyinblue]

Combining days 1 & 2 for Whumpmas in July. Just found out about this event and hoping to participate whenever I can.

Hi! My name is Blue and I’m new to the whump writing community. Life is crazy right now, so I haven’t written much, but I’m hoping to add more to my story, Inheritance (BBU/pet whump), once things calm down a bit. 😅

And now, ten words that give me whumperflies:

Keening (favorite soundbite: Bilbo just after Thorin’s death)

Whimper

Squeal

Beg

Curl (as in cuddling but even more intense because the whole body tucks in)

Please

Mercy

Card (as in gently playing with someone’s hair)

Tether

Sob/sobbing
