Title Game Both the lovely @knightedwriter and @panticwritten tagged my to scroll through my WIP at random and use the sentences I land on as titles. Thanks so much! I’m using Elementary: 1. Are You Hungry? 2. Sunrise at the Graveyard 3. Like Looking at a Map 4. Enter the City like a Scarecrow 5. First Answers, Then Facts 6. You Expected a Man 7. He Blushed 8. A Fleeting Image 

If I’m being honest, I could use some of these ;). I’m not tagging anyone because I don’t know that many people here and I don’t want to spam you all, but if anyone feels like doing this (come on, it’s funny), consider yourself tagged!

OC fact swap: Kenny, the main character of my WIP Lucidity, has the ability to travel to alternate dimensions through her dreams.

Oh, she sounds fantastic! I wish I could do that ;). Tungsten, the main character of Elemtary, has magic en knows a spell to lure memories from objects.

So...  I am thinking of creating a podcast. It would kind of be like the Magnus Archives, in the sense that every episode is its own small story (and maybe connected to a larger frame?).  Only instead of horror, it’s urban fantasy, loosely inspired by Scottish mythology.  And instead of an Archivist, it is told by Gabri, a women in her early thirties running a small antique store. She uses magic to pull the memories from objects; memories she assembles, smooths out and collects.  Prepare for a lot of faeries, magic lore, awkward apprentices, extravagant antique-sellers, apparitions, foggy autumn feelings and summonings.  Would this be something you people would listen to? 

Hi! For the oc headcanon association post- who do you associate with 11, 16 and 34 :)

Hey friend! Thanks for the question :D These are OC’s from my current WIP. 11. Gives nicknames to othersMercury nicknames people only moments or days after meeting them. He’s a very good judge of character. People will consider his nicknames sort of random at first, but in time they find out the name is more fitting than it had any right to be.  Copper gives people nicknames too, but they are always teasing (sometimes on the edge of being mean).  16. Has a strong eyebrow gameSilver combines it with his sarcastic comments, but I’d say Fer has the strongest. He is a skeptic on most matters - ranging from hopes to reform society to any plan made shitfaced drunk - and he expresses at lot of that by folding his arms and raising his eyebrows. 34. Would join the circusHa, trick question! Since the mains of my WIP are a bunch of traveling artist/magicians, who combine music and theater with juggling, knife-throwing and fire-breathing, I’d say they already are a kind of circus. Had they been living in a modern society, I think they would all have chosen circus-life over the lives they had at home. 

HI! can you tell me about your fave oc? or first oc, or both? Maybe 1,3 and 14 for the questions.

Thanks so much for the questions! (I amgetting around to your moodboard as soon as I got my other laptopback :')) I will assume Cultor was my first real OC, becauseit's a little unclear when this all started, but all the others Iremember where either very vague or just me with a different name. Ican hardly choose a favorite OC, so I will just take the maincharacter of my currect WIP (who I do love, so there's that) ^^. 1.What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering(name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?First OC: I think thefirst thing I considered about Cultor was his race. He's a characterfrom a fantasy, and I made up a population group that was sort ofmaginalized. They consisted of people that were 'mixed': half humanand half elf, one/fifth troll and three quarters dwarf, that sort ofthing. For this story I made up a specific mythical being, which wascalled will-o'-the-wisp but was somethingnot-quite-feary-not-quite-human. His father was a human, his mothersuch a will-o'-the-wisp. Favorite OC: The first thing I found out about Tungsten was his dislike towards leaving stuff behind. His father works in a antique store and hegrew up surrounded by things that had once been precious, but werenow broken, forgotten and gathering dust. He would rather live a lifeon the outskirts of society, leaving no traces.  

2. How did you choose their name?First OC: Because I was eleven andstill believed all things have meaning, I looked up Latin words withtranslations that fitted Cultor as a person. If I remember correctly,his name means 'friend'. Favorite OC: Funny thing, becausethis whole story started with Tungsten's name and the names of histo-be friends. Sometime in the middle of high-school, I found this list in my chemistry book with theEnglish names of the first discovered elements. I am Dutch, so I didnot know these English names, and they struck me as quite beautiful.For some reason I thought they would make amazing stage names for agroup of traveling artists; the idea stuck, and here we are.    14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep inmind while working with your OC, what would those things be?FirstOC: Well, Cultor's father was the badguy (I was such an originalchild *ahum*), so his mental struggle about fighting his own dad waspretty important. The other would be his protective nature; he'sabout sixteen in the story, but he thinks himself quite an adult andhe is convinced he has to look out for everyone. Favorite OC:Tungsten's main goal is to find his place between the band of artistshe has just joined, so most of his actions are motivated by that.Further I think it's important to know that though he's quiet andshy, this never stops him from doing what he wants to do, tremblinghands and all.Thanks so much again!  

If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications ✔ anonymously or not :) let's get to know the person behind the blog ❤️

Aw, thanks for the ask!! Three random facts: - I love exploring new media! I have periods where I get really into theatre or concept albums or whatever and try to discover exactly how they work, how they are made, what their tricks are. - I’m an animal person. With fur or without, if it is willing to be held, I am holding it. - I’m playing around with gender in my appearance more and more and I’m loving it! 

Right now I’m doing a scene where my main protagonist and one of my antagonists have a nice little chat. You know, with the second one choking the first, that sort of thing. Guess who is going to be a reluctant spy in about fourhundred words!

does anyone want to come tell me about their wip or their ocs? im procrastinating hard here lads

If you want a poem.

Reblog this, and I’ll send you one.
