#BookSky #WritingCommunity #DarkFantasy #Crime
Fiction - If it's got a cool cover/tittle, I'll read the blurb. If I'm interested in that, I read.

Non-fiction - reviews/reputation. If a book is well-known or referenced, it's probably reliable.

#WritingCommunity #WriteSky
Happy Friday!! We made it!

Readers: How do you decide what book you want to read? Do you read reviews? Do you have a trusted friend who gives you recommendations? Do you look for specific subgenres or tropes?

#SFFChat Q1
Silver is a quest giver that requires stolen items to build a relationship.
Brigid is a quest giver that requires you to burn down buildings in order to build a relationship.
#WritingCommunity #WriteSky
#SFFChat Q1: If your characters were in a dating sim (or another kind of game if you prefer), what roles would they have or what archetypes would they fulfill?

E.g. Healer, summoner, maybe in a dating sim they're the mayor's daughter, or in a farm sim they're an angry chicken! Be creative!

Isaia, where the Blackliners books are set, are slightly behind us in technology, but not by much. Think 90s/early 00s. They have modern amenities, but computers&phones are in infancy. They have guns, but they're uncommon due to the use of magic.
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity
#DecemberWorldbuilders! What is the "level" of technology in your fictional world? Is it a low-tech fantasy? A high-tech sci-fi? Or something in-between? Maybe something outside the tech progression of human history. Did they invent anything ahead of us in time? Any inventions suspiciously absent?

According to the Elven creation myth, all life was created by the Father and the Mother, but it was discovered that it couldn't survive without their love. As such, the two ascended to the skies and became the Sun and Moon.
#WritingCommunity #WriteSky
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?

In my teens I worked on a project that featured a character called Reseera in a supporting role. She was the MCs evil half-sister, and they were involved in a war over the rulership of their family. Ultimately, she joined the MC and they both rejected their parents.

Monday #WritingQ!

"Orphan" characters!

Tell me about a character you've dreamed up but haven't put in a story yet!

Who are they? What's the obstacles you've run into finding their story?

(Unless you have literal orphans in your story you want to talk about.)

A body. Reaching down, he found fur, blood, and protruding bone. Not Tessa. Not Kiko either; too big.

If you haven’t gotten to that page, how about a post from page 4 instead?

Silver: *jumps. sparks. looks at phone* Oh, it's dead again. *dumps phone*

#WritingCommunity #WriteSky
I should be working, not posting #WritingQ!

Who dat callin!?

Assume your character access to modern phone tech.
An unknown number calls.
Do they pick up?
Do they prefer text? If text, do they answer right away?
Is it ringtone or vibrate?
What's their phone habits?

Silver was abandoned at a Healing Hall as a baby and raised in an orphanage. She became a thief after being kicked out and is now on a corruption arc.

Hey so, tell me about your MC. I wanna know the lore!

Silver avoids entering water as much as she can. She's never learned to swim and has heard plenty of drowning warnings. During book 3, when parts of the city flood, she sticks to the rooftops.
#WritingCommunity #WriteSky
Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders! Let's talk about your MC today. What is their relationship with water like? Do they know how to swim? Have they ever caught a fish? Or is it just something that gets in the way during their long journey? Maybe they've never *seen* a body of water so big

Ok, so my parents reminded me yesterday of my #school's attempt at #sex #education and I feel like someone out there will appreciate this story.
So the school gathers us all in the new block hall, and we know something's off because it's only the girls. We all sit on the floor and it begins.

The Lifebringer (seen on map), runs through four separate regions in Isaia, and is the biggest river in the country. During the war, it earned the nickname of Deathbringer, as traders spread Blue Fever along it.

As someone who read fanfic in my teens, it would be hypocritical to say no, so yes, I'd allow it. That's not to say I'd read it, but if someone wants to come play in my world, they're welcome.
#writingcommunity #writesky
Okay. #WritingCommunity, would you every let others write in your settings/worlds?

Why/why not?

Under what circumstances/rules?

#NovemberWorldbuilders
Isaian society as a whole has no problem with revenge, and in some cases considers it a moral good. You can appeal to the Hunters or ruling Lord for permission to kill the guy that killed your [family member], and that's fully legal.
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity
What's up, #NovemberWorldbuilders peeps! Have you dared to get a little freaky with your worldbuilding? Does your fictional world's society believe something to be good or evil which societies on Earth (generally speaking) do not agree with? How did you come up with that idea?👀
November 14, 2025 at 10:46 AM
#NovemberWorldbuilders
Luca is very morally dark. So long as she gets paid, she's happy to work for anyone and kill who she's asked to kill, with the exception of children. There's been jobs where employers have tried to trick her into killing a child and she's killed the employer instead.
#WriteSky
Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders. Tell me about the ethics of your MC or any character who is important in your world's lore. Are they morally good? Morally grey? Do they have a belief contrary to what others around them believe in? Are there any acts they refuse to do?

Mother Sirinci, or Lady Kasirai, the Demon of the North, was known for rescuing groups of children from Freelander camps during the war and smuggling them to safety in the Solar Isles.

Hello, #NovemberWorldbulders! This week’s theme is GOOD and EVIL where we share morality in our fictional worlds. Today's question is about HEROES from the past. Do you have any characters who lived and performed acts of heroism before the main story starts?

Prisoners in Isaia are given black smocks to wear while incarcerated. It's all for practicality, it doesn't show up the blood and dirty as much.

Heya #NovemberWorldbuilders!
We're talking about COLORS in our world this week. Tell me about something in your world that's BLACK. Do you use it symbolically? Do you have any special black objects or animals or magical items in your world? Tell us about them!

The stone in the nowhere tunnels is white and glows softly. The glow is brightest in the lake, which makes it look like the water is glowing silver.

Hello, #NovemberWorldbuilders friends!
We're in COLORS week! Tell me about something in your world that's WHITE. Have you used it symbolically? Any special white clothes, rocks, animals, or magical artifacts you'd like to talk about?

Purple is considered to be the Healers' colour. Healing magic comes in shades of purple, and most Healers wear it. Healing Halls are often decorated in shades of purple. Most non-Healers in Isaia won't wear purple, as it's considered disrespectful.

This week's theme is COLORS! Tell me about something in your world that's PURPLE. Do you use it symbolically? Do you have anything special in your worldbuilding that's purple? Maybe an animal, jewels, a garment, a flower, or something more strange and magical?

Green is so strongly associated with Hana and as being House Kandaia's second colour that I don't tend to use it for much else 😅
Hana is described as having emerald green magic, and when angry can generate green lightning, though his gift is telepathy.
Hey there, #NovemberWorldbuilders!
It's COLORS week! Tell me about something in your world that's green. This one is probably more common, since green is so strongly associated with nature. Do you have any cool greenery in your world? Or maybe you've used it for an object? Tell me about it!
November 4, 2025 at 12:38 PM
#NovemberWorldbuilders
Gold is traditionally associated with House Kandaia. Gold eyes are common with their family, and gold magic runs in their family line. LK has both, as did his younger son. His eldest niece also has gold eyes.
#WritingCommunity #WriteSky
It's #NovemberWorldbuilders!
We're talking about colors in our worlds! Tell me about something in your world that's YELLOW or ORANGE? I find that these two are often underrated/underused in worldbuilding, so I'd love to hear what you have. Maybe something symbolic of the sun or made of gold?
November 3, 2025 at 3:42 PM
#NovemberWorldbuilders
Blue is the most common colour for the glowstone on the Solar Isles. Glowstone washes up from the sea and is found on beaches. When exposed to sunlight, it can glow for a day or so. It's often collected by children and used as decoration.
#WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy
Heya #NovemberWorldbuilders!
Continuing with COLORS! Tell me about something in your world that's BLUE. Do you use it symbolically? Do you have anything special in your worldbuilding that's blue? Maybe an important object symbolic of the sea or sky? Tell me about your blues!

The old war bunker attached to Saemorne's stone carver's is built of red stone, which was most likely just the colour they had at the time. It's disused now, but was used for shelter and stores during the war.
