#WriterShareWednesday Oct 31 (next Saturday), THE FELLSDEN DRAGONHOOD will be coming to itch and Scribblehub. inmara.itch.io Sequel to SHED EVERYTHING inmara.itch.io/shed-everyth... For the past 40 years, the world has had one dragon in it, Saoirse Michaelson. That appears to be changing.

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters We don't know the details of APOSCHÉDIOSIS' ending until we write it. But we plan on the characters finding safety and stability, while the world as we all know it is destroyed (or irrevocably altered). It is a global disaster story at heart.

you may be familiar with the legendary dire wolf, but do you know of the avian equivalent - the fearsome dire rhea

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

We're passing around an inernal petition for our id monsters to consider renaming their gender to Other, with a capital O. They'd still be id monsters, because that's a role in our system (one of the very few we have). They've often shortened it to monster for the gender. But Other has been growing

We get Other from a few sources. It also fits very well with how their sense of gender (or lack of it, as many are actually agender) usually comes from outside our system. But, also, Other is actually sometimes found on official forms and such, so it would feel affirm to check that box on occasion.

The argument against doing this is that we all love the word "monster" as well, and it's pretty strongly ingrained in our identities. But monster is also becoming kind of a catch-all term for all of us. Dragons and girls are both, after all, types of monsters.

This is worth noting for a lot of people, really. If you're following artists who aren't putting stuff behind paywalls, consider throwing them some tips anyway as a thank-you to ensure they keep making the stuff you like!

DATA TIME DATA TIME get ready for a long-ass thread, but here are some results to get you started meaning by total responses | meaning by country (be nice about my graphs)(I am a humanities person) 🧵

no context poll: the phrase "it's all downhill from here" means... - it's harder/worse from here - it's easier/better from here and what region are you from? (just for @katiebenderbooks.bsky.social)

We wish we could fully be our true selves without feeling like everyone sees us as playing some kind of game of make believe or simply crazy or nutso. Obviously, we don't really hide ourselves, but we do actually hold back a lot. And we feel embarrassment and shame for what we show, and it sucks.

But also, there's stuff about our plurality. Origins in some cases. Identities. Individuals in our system whose presence informs our spirituality because ignoring them would mean being hypocritical. If any one of us needs respect, we all do. We all deserve it. And if no one else can give it, we can

Another aspect of this is misinterpretation. A number of us have names, mannerisms, voices, and ways of speaking that the rest of the world sees as masculine. None of us are masculine. Those traits aren't masculine to us. Not in the slightest. They are feminine, draconic, and/or monstrous.

The dragon will retrieve any goblins who accidentally fall into the cave. They are very gentle.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

#AwesomeCharacters We shared this last week, but it's a pretty good portrait of Catastrophe Caterwaul, the protagonist for our current WIP APOSCHÉDIOSIS. And what's neat is that she looks just like that, because she's canonically a webcomic character.

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters It's International Artist Day! 🎉🎉 And we haven't done an art share day in a bit! So, please share with me any art you have of your characters! A doodle or picrew works too! Help me picture them! (Please no AI) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

If you’re American and don’t care about the Brazilian election, you should learn how much the corrupt powerful people in the US really care about the Brazilian election.

Looking at someone else's artwork and thinking, that looks a lot like a tardigrade as a fursona. It's a dragon or something, but it has tardigrade energy. Ooh, a tardigrade fursona! Alternative edgy fursonas... Oh, but... oh, but... oooh... What if someone's fursona was a water weenie?

whenever I feel bleak about the current publishing landscape, I remind myself that as a queer kid who read tons, I saw so few queer characters in books I thought it wasn’t allowed

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
