#AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint Nat literally gets hot and gets very loud and vocal. Vola goes quiet, stiffens up and assesses the situation. Her hand usually remembers what she has on her that she can weaponize.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Technical question! What's your favorite way to indicate anger in a character? Do they yell? Or go silent? Tense their shoulders? Grind their teeth? Does it vary for different characters? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

HELLO, I write a newsletter every month were I usually muse on something hyper-specific and not at all related to what I'm working on. It's good AND interesting, and not even that long! (it IS free, despite being on Patreon.) this month I talk mostly about dancing, for some reason.

Hello Darlings, August is a month that never quite feels real to me. I want to skip it in my recount of the year, go straight from July to

#MythAugust #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts Heirarchy among the gods isn't so much formal as it's more of a food chain of sorts. At least it is now. For example: Primal Gods were the top of the chain and considered (1/?)

#MythAugust 5 Today is about hierarchy! Who ranks highest or lowest among your gods/spirits/whatever? Is there a consensus about this ranking? As usual, interpret the question as loosely as you need to to fit your specific worldbuilding, and feel free to skip if it's not relevant to you! 😊❤️

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 5: Let's talk hierarchy! Which of your deities are more powerful/respected? Are there minor deities who serve the big ones?

#AugustWorldBuilders #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts Teachers are all a range of tired underpaid but passionate public school teachers in the States to overly pompous and conservative Professors with Tenure. Much as we see IRL. (1/2)

Hello, #AugustWorldbuilders! What are the teachers like in your fictional school? Have you written one? What were they like, both as a person and as an educator?

#AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint I immediately suspect it's Nat being a bit rushed and clumsy. Vola is hushing her up so they don't attract attention and can clean up. Not mad at all. They will take care of it.

#AugustWorldbuilders, hey there friends! What is the general vibe like at your world's school? Are the students polite and mature? Are there bullying problems? Do they do a lot of group work or is it more focused on individual study?

#AugCharWork #LicoriceAndMint #QueerWriters #lesfic #sapphic #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts We try to give all characters (main or supporting or antagonist) something unique to keep them in the readers mind. We love to describe them in detail. (1/?)

August Character Workshop Day 4. Flair #AugCharWork I’m calling this section Flair. What is unique about this character? Not every character needs to have something unique, but if they don’t then the audience will typically forget them as they walk off stage.

Blue Sonja@licoricemint.bsky.social · yesterday

#MythAugust #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts The Gods are not so much divided into factions as Aspects. Primal, Primordial, and Conceptual Conceptual are the gods that were birthed to manage the structural aspects of mortal life (1/?)

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 2d ago

#MythAugust 4 Today, tell me about the different factions among your gods/spirits. Think like the Æsir & Vanir in Norse mythology, or angels & demons in Christianity. What's their relationship? Are they sworn enemies? Sometimes allies? Interpret the question however makes sense for your story!

#AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint Neither Nat nor Vola would embellish their pasts. They would want their stories to inspire or help others who have had similar life experiences.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Your character is writing their memoirs! How honest are they being? Are they playing up their heroism and the drama? Are they leaving anything out? Why? What tone will it have? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters We talked about reunions the other day, so today let's talk about the opposite: partings! Have your characters left someone significant behind? Do they hope to see them again, or know they never will? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#AugCharWork #LicoriceAndMint #QueerWriters #lesfic #sapphic #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts I'm gonna have to think about this but I know Nat and Vola do fit archetypes but which ones we have never bothered to assign.

DD Ward ..."Sapphic Dr. DOOM"@ddwardiswriting.bsky.social · 4d ago

August Character Workshop Day 2. #AugCharWork Archetypes I would suggest to you that a good character needs to align, at least somewhat to an archetype. Archetypes tell readers how to relate to the character.

Blue Sonja@licoricemint.bsky.social · 2d ago

#AugCharWork #LicoriceAndMint #QueerWriters #lesfic #sapphic #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts I have a hard time imagining an arc-less story. Even our short slice of life moments have the characters grow a bit or show how their lives have changed from their last story.

DD Ward ..."Sapphic Dr. DOOM"@ddwardiswriting.bsky.social · 3d ago

August Character Workshop Day 3. #AugCharWork Character Arcs A story can, in theory, exist without a character arc. I don’t recommend doing that. A character doesn’t necessarily need an arc, depending upon their role in the story though.

Blue Sonja@licoricemint.bsky.social · 2d ago

#AugustWorldBuilders #lesfic #sapphic #QueerWriters #LicoriceAndMint #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts There are several higher education options for Arcane studies in Sehore from Academic or Vocational training. In Eidos magic is part of almost every educational system and level.

Good morning, #AugustWorldbuilders! In your fictional settings, what subjects are taught in schools? Do they learn the usual history, math, language, science? Anything extra? Anything specifically removed because the powers-that-be don't want kids learning about it?👀

#MythAugust 3 What kind of moral code do your fantasy gods or spirits follow, if any? Do they share similar moral values to the people, or is their sense of morality completely alien? Do they even do "morality" at all? As usual, interpret as you wish and don't forget to interact with others! ☺️

#MythAugust prompt for Aug 3: How does your deities' sense of morality align with that of people? I.e. are they moral, immoral, amoral, a mix...?

#MythAugust Day 2 Tell us about the major god(s) or spirit(s) in your fantasy religion! This is meant to be a broad overview - we'll have focused questions for specific gods later! Feel free to interpret the question as loosely as you need to if you aren't working with a traditional pantheon 😁
