Writeblr Life Week Day 2 - WIPs
Ten years after being kidnapped off the streets, twin sisters Dahlia and Iris Lillium are uncomfortably reunited with their elder siblings. Plagued by their memories of the struggles they’ve faced, the mischievous duo struggle to make the reunion last. However, eager as they are to slip away from their overprotective family to explore the world they long since left behind, they soon find themselves face to face with a force threatening to consume it - as well as an old threat that followed them home.
My major project, based on some characters me and some friends made. Dahlia and Iris are very near and dear to my heart, and I’m doing a lot of wordbuilding on this one in order to assure some grand adventures for them. This story includes: A doting older brother who cooks, multiple girls with magical books, an ancient scholarly tower, elves and cat girls and dragon people galore, sisterly hijinks, a golden dragon that is ridiculously large, and the power of love.
Every night, Faye is haunted by the same dream: The ocean, a song, and a pale girl. With each iteration comes a growing longing that slowly eats away at her, leaving her to grasp at every chance for distraction. But when the dreams begin to seep into reality, Faye finds herself faced with a choice - stick to the mundane life she’s come to know, or dive headfirst into into an unknown fate?
Something that started as a comic idea, but I can’t really draw very well (at least, consistently) to be honest. I took the plunge into making a story full of lesbian mermaids because I liked the dynamic of a bratty mute mermaid princess and her tough girlfriend who will fight anybody for her. This story contains magical singing, morbid curiosity, lots of hugging, mating dances that lead to souls intertwining forever, a mom for the small lesbian herd, and second chances at happiness.
Unofficial Description: There are two rules when interacting with the fae: Never make a deal with them, and never deny an invitation to the Fae Queen’s court. Teenage Rore’s life is turned upside down when an invite to the court leads to her friend Elliot breaking one of these simple rules, forcing her to challenge the Queen in order to change their fates.
Inspired by the album that got me through my last couple of semesters at uni (which I listened to twice today just having thought about it), Seelie is one of my secondary WIPs that I haven’t given much attention yet. It has a very general completed outline, but the details are still left up in the air. I won’t say much about this one beyond the description - partially because there aren’t many details yet to share, partially because it’s going to be a mere ten chapters overall (length of said chapters undecided currently, though).
Untitled (”Fourth Witch”)
Unofficial Description: Once upon a time, three witches were born every century. However, after three witches born as triplets tore the world apart, the cycle mysteriously ended - taking all traces of magic with it. However, rumors of a red-eyed girl have stirred not only rumors of the cycle’s return, but remnants of its past.
So I don’t remember what spurred this idea, honestly. I think I was planning on making an RPG because I know it spawned from messing around with RPG Maker (specifically just messing with the character creator and coming up with designs). It’s pretty much a story of two twins and their two friends going on adventures while some kinda gay shenanigans are going on under their noses.... is the best way I know how to describe it. This one doesn’t have much of a plot yet, but I do plan on getting around to it eventually - it’s just kind of on the backburner. Definitely contains some reincarnation bits, polygamy, some weird aunt-and-uncle-esque pair, and annoying siblings of both the normal and magical variants.
Untitled “Beauty and the Beast”
Unofficial Description: The world is filled with curses bred from sorrow and anger. A rose born from the cycle of pain is cursed with the power to ease it at the cost of herself. By chance she stumbles upon the one who is willing to go to the ends of the world to free her from this fate, as well as others like them who are just looking for a place to call home.
I had a dream recently about a woman happily married to a man who was cursed to be a beast. Key features of this dream were the two of them being very very in love, the girl being cursed in some way, the setting being a somewhat ruined castle on a cliff on a moving island (the staircases were dangerously suspended over the sea with no railings), and the enchantress being a black elf woman who the beast was cool with who was speaking of how the woman would eventually die if she took on too many other curses. Not much to this yet except it’s already turning very much into a found family story.
I don’t actually have enough to go on for this one to write a summary at the moment. Also based on a somewhat recent dream (but older than the above), it’s more of an aesthetic right now. A girl wakes up in an asylum run by a witch who very specifically wants her. She tries to escape with a younger boy who is used to the asylum and an older man who was trapped in a fantasy world and is trying to cope with the fact the mundane life he knew was a lie. I wrote down a pretty long summary of the dream, so I have a good deal to work with and already have three of the major characters designed. I’m a bit excited for this one because it’s got a bit of a horror aesthetic going on and I’ve never really touched on horror before.
If any of these stand out to you and you’d like to be added to the taglist, feel free to let me know!
