I ran my hands through my hair, and then I froze. I kept my hair cut short in a pixie cut. The hair I had run my fingers through was long. It hung past my shoulders, with indulgent curls cascading down my head. This wasn’t me. I suppressed a scream.
I crawled to the edge of the bed and climbed off, touching my feet on the thick carpet. It felt soft and warm between my toes as I stood up. I smoothed out the shear cream nightgown that had bunched up at my waist. I hadn’t been wearing a nightgown last night. I couldn’t remember ever wearing a nightgown. The gown hung off my left shoulder, like I’d stepped off the cover of a Harlequin romance novel. I could see my body through the fabric of the nightgown. The nightgown was so shear it felt more revealing that standing naked. The boatneck collar was so wide every movement threatened to dislodge the nightgown. “Who makes collars this wide?” I asked the empty room. I shook my head as I spoke to myself. I didn’t even sound like myself. Then, still looking down at the collar, I noticed my bust. All my life I’d hated my A-cups. I resented looking more like a twelve-year-old than a twenty-one year old. Well, I didn’t have the chest of a twelve-year-old now. I looked like Barbie decided to pose for Playboy. Looking down at my now bountiful cleavage, I guessed that I was at least a D-cup now. “Those are going to hurt when I run,” I sighed.

Summer learns about the cows of Christmasland

(Note: elves speak in third-person)

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
From …In A Pear Tree🎄🐮
Black text, green background, “empty” highlighted blue "Hi, Flake," she said, looking at the cow dubiously. "Does this cow jump over the moon?" Flake giggled. "Don't be ridiculous. That's way too far for a poor cow to jump. Flake could milk her all day, and she couldn't fly that far. She's a pretty good flyer, though. The best of the maids' cows." "Flyer? The cows fly? I've never seen a cow fly." "Well, then. Summer mustn't be milkin' her properly. She's gotta be on EMPTY if Summer wants to see her fly. Milk's much too heavy, and she's much too uncomfortable to try if she ain't been milked."

This, apparently, is a history lesson …

From ‘House Rules’.

#WiPSnips
“So, this was about the time that Dorothea Megaluthina decided that what every seanchailleach should wear a hat, a pointed one, because it helped with the drainage.” Professor Wollop, touched the knee of the student next to her. “Ooh, and there was such a talking about it as you wouldn’t believe. ‘A hat?’ They’d say. ‘What’s so bad about a decent scarf? Never done me no harm.’. And, of course, Dorothea, they didn’t use familial honourifics back then, of course, that came later, as a matter of respect, but Dorothea says, ‘A scarf’ll do nowt to keep the slime from atop your head half as well as hat. Mark my words’. And so, of course, it were proven true.” She nodded, conspiratorially, and started to pour herself another cup of tea from a pot that, Hedric considered, should have run empty at least eight cups ago. And not once had she excused herself to visit the privy, proving, if nothing else, that witches had incredible bladder control. At least when it came to tea. Beside Hedric, Rum feverishly wrote down everything, which was rather difficult because she had to support the paper and the inkwell on her lap.

December 7th – empty

#AnthropomorphicNovel, today!

Ray and Simon escape an ambush with Liz, who may be more…interesting than they initially expected.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Liz turned left onto a quiet residential side street, away from other traffic. “Do we have any pursuers?” I looked back and studied the road behind us; no cars in sight. “Looks like we are clear.” The succubus took a few more turns, deeper into the maze of streets. The empty roads would make anyone following us painfully apparent. She had some training; some experience in the craft. “What exactly did you do for the Council, again?” I asked. I caught a quick smile in the rearview mirror. “I…kept an eye on things for them. Asked questions, gathered information, that sort of thing. Nothing too serious,” Liz replied casually. “Right.” I raised an eyebrow. “We couldn’t rely on the Organization for everything, after all. So, when the Council needed to know something, they would send me to…have a talk with people.” “People like me?” Simon finally spoke up. “Well, you were in a terrorist organization, so, yes, people like you.”

Here's one from the prologue! It's just Shallot, Parsnips, and Turnip at the inn (Turnip is maybe 4 or 5). Onion is here, providing security while she can. But she's a woman of a species where the men get *really* big and buff, so she's worried about her own safety, too.
“Don’t worry, love. Mama and Auntie Onion will keep you safe.” “But who’ll keep you and Auntie Onion safe?” Shallot opened her mouth to say comforting words, but all that came to mind were empty and devoid of truth. The four men at the table let out a raucous guffaw. Shallot didn’t know what they’d found funny—their attention was on their own conversation; they paid her no mind—but she felt unarmed. If they had teamed up, those four men could have done anything they wanted to Onion, and then who’d stop them from going feral? The things they could do to her inn, to her, to Turnip, sent a shiver down Shallot’s spine. Shallot, Parsnips, and Turnip from the Good Thyme Inn books when Turnip is very young. She is being held by Shallot and looking over into a pot of stew Parsnips is making. He’s holding a large stirring spoon Art drawn by Claire Leslie

#DecemberWorldbuilders 7. The stars play a bigger role both in Edenia and Outworld, as mages use them for rituals, and Sakrazan, the main religion in the Tokanno̊r Empire (Outworld), has an entire belief surrounding the stars representing the souls of dead warriors. Besides, one of the MCs (1/2)

Night falls
From "HatWIP"
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips
The golden hour has ended. The light is beginning to fade from its yellowed climax to a muted pink. Soon it will be navy blue. Then I will be forced to endure the inky blackness occupied by the vastness of space; a void, a vacuum, a place with no warmth or life. I hate the empty spaces in the world. I hate the things that call them home.

Hm, there's probably plenty in 5GC, but in TugboatWIP, some people whisper that if you stare too long into the dark, it'll take your face.

It's largly understood to be a jumpscare joke to tease kids, but if you're already scared of the dark, an adult can carry that into their phobia.

Today we’re gonna focus on something else

Are there any superstitions or widely held beliefs in your setting that are actually not based on anything? Or at least not anything of consequence.

Anything that is believed to be true, but actually not.

Nasty dialog.
Lyn expresses her resentment at serving Rushak, who’s too weak to get up. (He usually keeps his inner ass hat under wraps.)

- Brother’s Keeper, first book of my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power.
You're trying to hide behind others' pain. Admit the truth: you're frightened for yourself.” He placed the EMPTY teacup in its saucer with deliberate care, his fine tremor rattling the delicate porcelain, and reached for a biscuit. He nibbled at a corner, fixing her with a look. "And you are here because you miss Drisal in bed." She could find no words venomous enough to express her outrage. “Well, I can try to convince him to take time off," he offered in a dubious tone. "I don't know about tomorrow night. Maybe the next? In the meantime, I'm grateful your concern for me is so heartfelt." She clenched her fists at her sides. She could not stop herself. "You ... you glib, flippant, melodramatic, selfish, disrespectful little parasite!" He flashed an indecently gay little smile. "I try." Brother's Keeper A.C. Turek

Duels of Blood (sometimes you have to meet a pest on his level 😤)
Obito drummed his fingers on the desk, then finally pulled out an inkstone and an ink stick from the drawer. As he began grinding, he said, “If we’re heading west instead of going home, we should at least tell Master Yujin.” “You don’t mind that it might be an empty lead?” Daisuke grinned as he leaned forward on his elbow. “It’s better than what we have now.” “I can almost hear how much that’s killing you on the inside.” Obito looked up, glanced at the inky stains on his fingers, then smudged a black streak across Daisuke’s cheek.

Jack- Hide, call on the blessings of the forest spirits for protection.

Charlie- Maybe film it?

Helena- Just stare and wonder if she knows this guy🧐

Talia- Try to chase it off. That carcass is interesting and she wants a look. Didn't see it was a unicorn.

Hypothetical question. Even if your book isn't fantasy, what would your MC do if they came across a unicorn eating a carcass?

I can't resist sharing cute Ashtara moments 🥺🥰

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #Ashtara #Lesfic #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Nitara buried her fingers in layers of soft hair, massaging Ashrah’s head. Despite all the battles still ahead of her, all the chaos raging outside her ship, the weight in her chest unspooled in a content sigh, washing her entire body in a wave of peace. “May I spend the day with you?” Her eyelids fluttered open, meeting the light in Ashrah’s eyes, so tender but bright enough to light up the entire room. “I’ll sleep, and you’ll get bored.” “I promise I will not.” She laid her head against Nitara’s chest. Closed her eyes. “Your body on mine, it warms me. But this fire does not hurt. I hear your heart beating, so close to my empty chest, and for these moments, it is as if I have a heart, too.”
