The Messenger: The Story Of Joan Of Arc (1999) / Anne Llewellyn Barstow, ‘joan Of Arc And Female Mysticism’

I adore this

Ive been avoiding this long enough. May as well give in.

writing fanfic like “am i getting the dynamics of this friendship right?” “would this character actually say this?” “what is the proper ratio of kindness to sass?” “am i falling prey to overused fanfic personality shortcuts or is this a canon trait?” “am i overthinking this so much that i will grind to a standstill out of sheer terror?”

eVERY TIME-

✨500 follower giveaway & celebration!!!✨

I know, I know—it’s a little late now, we are around 550 instead—but OMG, you wonderful 500~550 people ❤️❤️❤️ It feels so strange…But in a good way—like, that’s more people than went to my school growing up?! 

And to celebrate, I will be doing a giveaway! 🥳

There are two prices to win. You enter by liking and/or reposting two different posts (depending on what price you want)—and you can enter both but only win one. If somehow, someone wins both, I will contact that winner to choose one of the prices, and give the other to someone else!

1. Character Painting

Get a character painting, by me :) You can choose a style and character* (it does not have to be related to this game or fandom)! 

Here are some examples! (Though scroll past the first post…)

All you have to do to enter is be a follower (new or old), and like or repost this post! (You can do both and would then double your chance to win this price!)

2. Design a game detail

Design a game detail** that will appear in the game!

Design an outfit (either an everyday outfit or a ball outfit)

AND

Design an NPC character that appears somewhere in the game (will have a small role).

Give me a rough or detailed idea of what you want, and I will work with you to craft it :D

All you have to do to enter is be a follower (new or old), and like or repost the pinned game post! (You can do both and would then double your chance to win this price!)

JOIN IN ON THE CELEBRATION AND WIN A PRICE! :D

*Fair warning, I am best with closeup and humanoids… Please no detailed hands… it’s so hard to get right :( And if it is a simple idea, I could perhaps do two characters… But, umm, nothing too NSFW. And it doesn’t have to be in a realistic style, send me a few references, and I will try and make it work :D

** If it is highly inappropriate, or very very era ill-suited, I might have to ask for a different idea. But I don’t expect that to happen :) It cant be copyright material (unless it is Sherlock related…)

✨✨✨Special community price! ✨✨✨

I will be accepting ideas/prompts for a combo (a quick drawing) ≈ 500-1000 word prompts that are of the same scenario. 

Write in the comments or send me an anonymous message of what you would want to see—Oh, and mention it is for the contest!

I might also add some of my own ideas—then I’ll make a poll of some that I like or think would be good, and you guys vote for your favourite! 

*I will end it in two weeks. Will randomise winners 1st of September!
