new blog, new me. in a way?

if you've found yourself here from my old blogs, hello again! and if we're meeting for the first time, welcome x

you may know me from a book about harpies or maybe you've read some of my short stories! because everything was so cluttered, however, I've decided that everything is gonna be on this blog. my poetry, my prose, my random thoughts, ffxiv stuff all mixed with a fuck ton of reblogs from friends of course. im planning on actually having a functional tag system but, eh, who knows?

i will make a prettier about me post though! But for now I will just add tags here as I get my writing up on this blog :)

⸺girios aplink mus bunda.

Hello and welcome to my writing grove, where the birds are always dancing up in the trees, and the forest is full of stories if you listen closely! I’m Solveiga (she/her), a European-based folk horror writer, in my late twenties. This space is where I ramble about my WIPs and writing projects, discuss Lithuanian mythology and folklore, and I also love chatting with others about their stories, too!

⸺tekėk, saulele, anksti rytelį.

I’ve been writing for about seven years now, and I mostly write horror and folklore-inspired stories. I genuinely love, love, love to read and I read a lot, across pretty much every genre. Some of my favourites are horror, mysteries and detectives.

Lithuanian language is my native language, and I'm happy to be able to share more of our culture with the others. You can always ask me any questions that you might have. I'm always happy to be of help.

Favourite horror movies: Rocky Horror Picture Show, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Ready or Not, The Evil Dead, Misery, Ginger Snaps, Fright Night, House on Haunted Hill, 28 Days Later, The Cabin in the Woods, It Follows, Southbound.

Some of my favourite fictional characters are: Frank N Furter (RHPS), Grace (Ready or Not), Ash Williams (Evil Dead), Jane Hudson (WEHTBJ?), Debbie Jelinsky (Addams Family), Annabelle Loren (House on Haunted Hill), Annie Wilkes (Misery), Prue Halliwell (Charmed), Lilly Rush (Cold Case).

I enjoy taking walks, exploring weird corners of history and collecting fun linguistics facts. As well I'm a huge tea lover (and Earl Grey is my love).

I don't really like thunderstorms, but I tend to write about them a lot.

⸺prisimink kaip šokom valsą, autobusų stotelėj.

Found family, platonic love, and complex sibling relationships is mostly what I write about. I hold these themes close to my heart.

Grief, abandonment wound and intergenerational trauma also play a big role in my stories.

I can go on for hours describing nature, especially autumn and spring settings, which are also my favourite seasons.

While I adore writing horror and darker themes, I like my stories to have happy endings, with characters still having some hope left.

Ask and tag game friendly. Conversations and chatting are always welcome!

Brain is soup but my ghost boy Goose....

Goose floated, daydreaming, along the edge of the realm, where a dense network of roots and branches, tangled vines and brambles made for an impassable wall separating it from the outside.

turning it from 3rd person present tense with Sigga as a main character to 1st person past tense with Sera as a main character has completely shaken up the entire book in the best way. can't wait to dig my fangs into it now

I love when information revealed at the end of a story recontextualizes something said or done at the beginning. Like yes queen make the story a loop let the story keep developing even though the book is closed and the credits are rolling. The story never ends it just starts over.

having a multi year long character obsession becomes like a abstract thought experiment at some point

Ingalill placed her hand on his shoulder. The touch was warm, solid, alive; an anchor that fastened him to a temporary reality. Samir’s breath hitched, and his eyes began to burn. “I’m sorry,” he choked. ‘I’m sorry I can’t save you.’

I like this one too :>

Does anybody here have experience with publishing queer horror short stories? Or queer short stories in general. I've only really done fantasy stuff before so I'm still getting my bearings. Especially because short stories are just not really a thing over here so I'm looking to publish abroad

[dyrewrites]

>.> I have been summoned.

Assuming you mean 'in a publication' and not 'I want to publish it myself', I've not been accepted anywhere yet, as is the name of the short story submission game, but you want to hop over to Submission Grinder and look for places accepting horror.

They have everything, probably magazines you've never heard of. Queer is specifically not a category but you'll know if they do by their content really.

I recommend looking at more than guidelines as some places set strict guidelines but allow more than they claim, so if they have free issues available grab them and check them out.

There's also Author's Publish, which is a nice newsletter that sends out lists of places looking for books or stories.

I hope these are helpful.

[zeenimf]

This is very helpful, thank you! I'm gonna have a good look around.

And you good luck in submission hell too <3
