The Tales of Olta@talesofolta.com · yesterday

Much of the Olta School of Magic is white stone or stucco. (Special thanks to the amazing Oli Cristadoro for the beautiful illustration of the Olta campus!) #NovemberWorldbuilders #fuckTERFmagic #TalesOfOlta

The same rectangular cloister that the Great Aquarium had occupied on the floor above was, on the House Floor, an entirely different scene of aquatic magnificence. Sweet-smelling steam clouded and perfumed the air, rising upward into the enchanted ceiling. Beams of artificial sunlight filtered delicately in the billowing cotton of the steam, gently landing on an elaborate wonderland of travertine-terraced mineral springs. Thermal algae colored the water a vibrant turquoise as it splashed over the coconut-white limestone, trickling down rusty orange and pink-stained rock till being absorbed into the next turquoise basin and the next. Students soaked, stretched, lathered, and laughed in the pools. Even here, a couple was kissing while another student splashed to get them to stop, and others held up protective enchantments to protect their books from getting wet.Illustration of the Olta School of Magic by the amazing artist Oli Cristadoro.

Good morning, #NovemberWorldbuilders! The last two color days of this week will be white and black, but feel free to squeeze a grey in on either day if you'd like! For today: Tell me about something in your world that is white (or grey!)

I'm a commissioning editor and I'm up to the tits in AI-written submissions. They absolutely reek of laziness and stupidity. What's the point of wanting to be a writer but finding writing to be an inconvenience? I delete every one of them.

- Q'Enmari captained the great boat that brought The First People across The Sea to the safety of The Island. - Q'Enmari herself created The Island as a gift to The First People, blessing it with every plant & animal so The People could live between The Sea & The Sky, protected from Their sqabbles…

- Q'Enmari gave birth to The First People who lived on The Island. - Q'Enmari was kicked out of heaven and dragged The First People down with her. - Q'Enmari had imprisoned The First People, who were freed when she was cast out of the Heavens. …

And the most contentious idea for those living on The Island is that of Q'Enmari. Universally regarded as a "she," Q'Enmari is variously loved, reviled, or treated with disdain. The myths and traditions involving her are many:

Good morning, Kira and the #OctoberWorldbuilders! I'm feeling good! I want my readers to be amazed and awed during the big moments, but to come away moved and—dare I say—motivated to *see* each other and pay attention more to those in their lives. Odd goal for a far-future space-opera sci-fi story?

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 2w ago

#OctoberWorldbuilders, how you feeling? Or rather, how do you want your readers to feel after they've finished your story? Are you trying to get them to feel a certain way? To think about a certain topic or theme? Or do you just want to entertain them?

If you’re a creative, please don’t let anyone ever tell you you’re not good enough or that you aren’t worth the time or space in this field. I think after years of being told this by people I admired in the industry it really fucks with your head in ways where you just naturally start to believe it.

…Clothing is mostly homespun cloth, often vibrant in color, and loose and draping. More durable clothing is fashioned from the leaves and fruit skins of leatherleaf trees—the soft fruit pulp of which is delicious raw, and also makes superb pies and dessert breads!—that grow at lower altitudes.
