Hey there, Bluesky! I'm a writer working on a YA epic space fantasy series~ ✨ Please take a look!
After being betrayed, Emily finds the life she knew gone, replaced by the demon lord’s encroaching rule. Having escaped him before, she knows the might of his magic—and that she can’t win alone.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

No alchemists for this story, sadly, as much as I love them. But there is possibly a biochemist?? This question actually made me rethink some things... He's hugely into general biology as well, but yeah~ There's a bit of a mystery surrounding where he is and what he's up to~

Yap at me, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Does your world have any chemists or alchemists? Are they living at the time of your characters' journey or are they ancient history? What did they discover? What *is* chemistry or alchemy in your setting?

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Emily and Nanashi are usually pretty cheery, and both just like spending time with their friends. Nanashi in particular is glad not to be stuck alone in a cave.
Marty and Seth can make each other happy, but also not at the same time. They have complicated feelings to work out.

It's commonly accepted that people have evolved, though the Church of Neva is proud to say that their goddess assisted in that evolution. However, they don't include demons in that, despite a demon's ability to look human. They spawned from another twisted realm, after all~

Hello, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Tell us about the creation of your people according to the in-world lore. Were they created by gods? Did they evolve from single-celled organisms? Maybe a bit of both? Maybe they don't know, and maybe they have stories about it. What are their creation myths?

Yes, science is pretty widespread and has helped them advance quite a bit~ There are also mana-based sciences, like mana biology (the interaction and use of mana in regards to living things) and mana physics.

Welcome to the first week of #DecemberWorldbuilders! This week is about SCIENCE (broadly speaking) (you can play along even if you're writing pre-industrial fantasy!)
Today's Q: Can anyone in your world participate in scientific research? Or is it reserved for elites?

I'd say for general side characters, it's usually when it'd be more confusing for them to not have a name... or what makes sense for the scene/characters.
Like actually, I have two dwarf girls in two different arcs--the first one isn't named, while the second one is. Ironically,

When do you consider a side character to have earned a name?
Is it when they speak a line of dialogue? Have a certain amount of importance to the story? When it is confusing to describe the scene otherwise?

My MC is too dense right now to notice her love interest 😅 So I imagine it'll be a slow realization in later books.
But I can answer this for Marty, who's one of the POV characters. She started falling for Seth when he really saw her for *her*, not her siblings, and comforted her~
