#Char_Roleplay Jane: Hi. I'm Jane. The other main character of My Ex Is a Vampire. My little sister, Gabby, was SO annoying when she was a little kid. She still annoys me sometimes. (Artwork of Jane by @scythlyven.bsky.social. Artwork of Gabby by Crossing Cosmos.)

#SumLuv The first proper romance novel I ever read was As You Desire by Connie Brockway. Gorgeous historical romance that takes place in Egypt and feels just as much like an adventure novel as it is a romance.

#Char_Roleplay Lily: Hi. I'm Lily. I work at The Bronze Gauntlet, an occult shop in Midtown Houston. "Regret" reminds me of a card that came up during a recent tarot reading. My client pulled the 5 of Cups, which represents loss & regret.

#SumLuv Rita and Danny have a very cozy "friends to lovers" dynamic. They're both on the asexual spectrum. Rita is demisexual and Danny is graysexual, so they're more like a "slow burn."

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 2d ago

Meet cutes don't have to be "cute"! They are a plot device 🧡 But! Let's talk about how they DO feel about each other early on! Is it fairytale love? Is it *lust* at first sight? Hate at first sight? All?? Snips here are welcome (always welcome if you want to answer anything with a snip) 🧡 #SumLuv

#AwesomeCharacters My Cousin's Small Gay Intimate Wedding is already written in 1st person from Rita's POV. It's told through her diary. If Rita wrote a memoir, she would really downplay herself and try to write her family in the best light because she loves them.

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

#Char_Roleplay The Duchess: Ah! I didn't think I'd be included in this chat. You can call me The Duchess. I don't really give "condolences." The last time I ever said that word was during the funeral of one of my victims.

#SumLove "In which a plus-sized special ed teacher becomes maid of honor for her younger cousin's lesbian wedding. Meets the best man, a former baseball player turned physical therapist. Their mission: plan a small, intimate wedding in spite of an egotistical wedding planner."

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 3d ago

"In which somebody runs into somebody else, and then something falls, and they begin to talk, and their eyes meet and they realize they are attracted to one another" —Rodger Ebert Do you have a classic one? Or one that passes 😆 Did you avoid altogether? Snips welcome! #SumLuv

Charles Schulz drew a new Peanuts comic every single day for almost 50 years. That is 17,897 individual comic strips. I'm sure, somewhere in that vast archive, you can find an ACTUAL DRAWING that fits whatever you want to say and easily edit in your own speech bubbles instead of using "AI" slop.

#AwesomeCharacters Rita is a teacher, so she's developed a tough skin (even tho she's a total softie underneath it all). However, if you say any kind of slur or use ableist language, she'll call you out!

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters How well does your character handle criticism? Are they easily insulted? Does their confidence suffer from a critique? Do they ignore or shrug it off entirely? Do they learn from it? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Fun medley of the Bond themes. Be warned, they're not in movie order. Which kind of made my eye twitch.

#Char_Roleplay Susi: Hi. I'm Andy's older sister, Susi. When I hear the word "embarassment," I think of my birth mother who constantly pressured me to behave myself or else I'd be an embarrassment to the family name. So thankful Mrs. Santiago adopted me.

#SumLuv Rita is the main character of My Cousin's Small Intimate Gay Wedding. She teaches 8th grade English class for special ed students. Danny is her love interest. He's a former baseball player turned physical therapist. He's also disabled (survived a spinal injury).

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 4d ago

Who are you writing about? What makes a romantic story about them interesting? Note there will not be a character art or face cast prompt, so feel free to do that here if you'd like! Don't forget alt text for images if you post them. #SumLuv

And here's @gailsimone.bsky.social and @davidmarquez.bsky.social continuing the longstanding tradition of extremely horny X-men comics. I was gonna call ya'll out on the fetish outfits issue, but this is even more so. :D

#AwesomeCharacter Andy was abandoned by his father at a young age and he hates his dad. Spoiler alert, but I plan to introduce Jomari (Andy's father) in a later novel. He's gonna be a vampire hunter turned vampire. Think Blade.

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

#Char_Roleplay Andy: Hi! I'm Andy. I'm one of the main characters in My Ex is a Vampire by M.S. Ocampo. "Hesitation" reminds me of when I failed to save my girlfriend, Gracie. She died while fighting vampires that ambushed her. I was scared/hesitated and ran like a coward.

#SumLuv Hey there! I'm Monique aka M.S. Ocampo. I'm currently working on My Cousin's Small Intimate Gay Wedding, a romcom/chick lit novel that's all about chosen family as much as it is about finding love in your mid-30s.

Welcome to 🧡 Summer of Love 🧡 a daily prompt game for everyone writing in the romance genre! What's up? What are you working on? How long have you been writing? Tell us everything! Well, tell us enough 😅 I'm excited to chat with you this month. Don't forget to tag #SumLuv

#pretendpanel I track my progress with total word count and I always write it down in a journal instead of tracking it online. Mostly cuz Pacemaker can only track one month for free.

I'm back, #pretendpanel ! And thanks to @lizzieblackwood.bsky.social I've got another month of questions 💜 so let's go... August 1st: Do you use data visualization to track your writing progress? What does that look like for you? #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

All I will say is that this is the first one in a long time that felt like a comic book story line. You can even sense where one issue would continue onto the next. Fun Fact: you don't need the proportionate strength of a spider to be a hero. DON'T POST SPOILERS!!!
