I was so excited when @koboldpress.com invited me to write an adventure for their NIGHT HUNTERS Kickstarter - THE KISS OF THE LICH QUEEN 🥰🙌✨…

Off for a writing date with my friend Rhys, and embracing my inner dinosaur! RAAAAAARRR! 🦖🦕 (This amazing necklace was handmade by @wordigirl.bsky.social - and I cannot recommend her stuff enough ☺️🥰) #DinosaurDay #amwritingfantasy

Seizing a day off to make some cozy goblin food - and what’s more goblin than smashing things?! 🪨 😈 Smashed potatoes baked in a rich “blood” sauce alongside roasted fowl legs and some swamp greens (🥦broccoli!). #fantasyfood #dndfood

Well, that was a busy day! I took part in the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social BFS Online event, interviewing the charming Philip Reeve, managed to squeeze in some words on Rise of a Witch Queen, then chatted all things folklore with @worldanvil.bsky.social for @worldanvil.com

Game night at The Thirsty Dragon! We’re between campaigns right now so we pulled up to a local tavern, grabbed a cold ale, and strategised about our next quest! 🙌✨🥰🥳 Our new party is called Investigators of Metaphysical and the Paranomal… or IMP for short 😅😂

Today’s @worldanvil.com video tutorial is sponsored by 6 shots of black espresso and half a pack of spicy salami… #HealthGoals

A GLOWING review from Questing Beast about "The Dark Crystal RPG" (which I was lead-adventure author on!) Nice little boost for a gloomy Wednesday! 🥰

So excited I can finally announce this: Flame Tree Press picked up one of my short stories for this GORGEOUS anthology! I’m honoured to have one of my stories in such a beautiful collection! 🥰

My little Anvil (@worldanvil.com) just turned EIGHT! 🎂 🥂 Can’t believe how far we’ve come 🙌✨ Thank you to all the beautiful beans who helped us along the way 🥰

This story out today by @worldanvil.bsky.social is incredibly beautiful and spoke to my grief when I needed it most this morning. www.dreamtheory.media/song-of-the-... #Writersky #Booksky

Song of the Loom

by Janet Forbes I Sang to the loom, the day my mother died.   My hands were an echo of hers. Heavy with grief, they wove eight hundred threads onto the frame, a hundred for each string of her Lyra. ...

My flash story “Song of the Loom” is now published in @dreamtheorymedia.bsky.social ! Please go check it out (and maybe leave a comment, if you can? 🙏)! 🥰❤️

NEW STORY: @worldanvil.bsky.social delivers a poetic meditation on loss in her new flash fiction story "Song of the Loom"! www.dreamtheory.media/song-of-the-...

I've never done this on social media before but... ...my brilliant assistant is moving on to pastures new after three years. I am looking for someone to help me out. They need to be able to *get to North London easily, regularly*, energetic (it's often a dashing-around/carrying stuff job)...

Completely fell off socials due to #WorldFantasyCon but here I am at TEN AM on Sunday, talking about ☠️ poison material culture, the Roman Empire and STABBING ⚔️ 🙌✨

Talking publically about the neurodivergent experience is SO important. Names have power. Sharing our experiences - understanding we’re not alone - alleviates all that internalised shame. And sharing tools to cope helps us all ☺️

Stephen McGowan@geekdaddyprime.bsky.social · 9mo ago

I want to share something I experienced at #worldfantasycon 2025. A panel on Neurodivergence with @davidgreenwriter.bsky.social, @worldanvil.bsky.social, @betterdragons.bsky.social and Roman Burley. They mentioned something called “waiting mode.” Continued…

My story “Song of the Loom” is coming out NEXT WEEK on DreamTheoryMedia! Very excited! 🥰

Dream Theory Media [Subs Closed]@dreamtheorymedia.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Unfortunately, we're going to have to delay publication of today's flash fiction by @worldanvil.bsky.social until next week. The delay is entirely on our end and we apologize. Thank you.

This is a fun exploration from @worldanvil.bsky.social of the “Tiffany Problem” of #worldbuilding and how to avoid it.
