#AugustWorldbuilders #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Writesky #WritingSky #WIP #WritingPrompt Not yet, sorry. But I do have in plan of the teachers having diverse personalities such as cool, stern but fair, friendly, sarcastic, etc. Some of them modeled after my own school teachers.

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 14h ago

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?

#Critterary #WritingPrompts #Writing #Writesky #WritingSky Woodwoses are tall (6 to 8 ft) humanoids with green hirsute, shiny eyes, arrayed in leaves and vines, with only their feet, hands, and faces bare. They have a fresh earthy odor.

Today we're talking appearance! What exactly does your creature(s) look like? Any variations/regional differences? #Writing #WritingPrompts #Critterary

#MythAugust #WritingSky #WritingCommunity #Writing #Writesky #Wip The Numinal Trine are the highest creator deities, the most revered/respected Beneath them are the Ousiarchs (deities of time, harvest, sea, forests, mountains, etc). Then the Astrians (Star Spirits) & the Eudaimons (nature spirits)

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 13h ago

#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! 😊❤️

#QueerPrompts #WritingSky #Writesky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Wip In my WIP, there's a scene strongly inspired by the Masquerade ball in Labyrinth With the Heroine finding herself in a masquerade ball of cannibalistic Maenads...with the Fairy Queen & Prince trying to seduce her...🧵

#QueerPrompts August 5: Any scene from a show/movie that's like a scene in your story?

#CartAugust #Writesky #Writing #WritingPrompts #WIP #WritingCommunity #WritingSky The Nequinum World has the Firecloud Mountains (separating Palamede & Magalote), the Wildwind Mountains (separating Neony & Tahan), & the Tromping Wood (hilly, wooded range separating Magalote & Tahan) 🧵Pt 1

Pixies a/k/a Map Nerd@mcburnellauthor.bsky.social · 2d ago

You shall not pass! Hey #CartAugust crew, time to dive in and really start looking at your maps. Today, we're talking elevation: highs, lows, and if you have neither, barriers to movement. Tell me about the geology, the history, famous explorers who lost their lives there... What do I need to know?

#FantasyIndiesAugust Favorite folklore You'd think I'd say Sleeping Beauty. It's one of them, but I love Robin Hood so much more. The whole idea for the Exile Forest is Sherwood Forest, but larger, with a town hidden in the middle of the woods. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Favorite piece of folklore of fairytale: I love the ghost stories of Appalachia. The whistling things in the trees, the things that sound like people you know… The mountains are older than bones, and I love their stories! #fantasyindiesaugust

#AnthropologyAugust #Writesky #WritingPrompt #Writing #WritingPrompts #WritingSky #WIP Salamanders Benign, scaly orange-red lizards with an affinity with fire; they can extinguish flames, swim in lava, rest in fireplaces, set themselves ablaze at will, excrete toxic substances & heal fiery wounds

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · 2d ago

#AnthropologyAugust Once again doing the opposite, we just talked about the largest intelligent species, now what is the smallest? Does your setting have goblins or gnomes? Or does it have even smaller creatures like bugs or fairies? Does their size affect their interactions with other species?

#AugustWorldbuilders #Writing #WritingCommunity #WIP #Writesky At Witchery Schools, there's 0 tolerance for bullying, with passive-aggressive jabbing being the most students can do. The Schools foster a healthy community of siblinghood, companionship, & camaraderie. 🧵Pt 1

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

#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?

#MythAugust #Writesky #WIP #WritingPrompts The Numinal Trine are the Chief High Deities (sky, earth, & in-between) The Ousiarchs are the Secondary Deities (sea, harvest, time, wisdom, forests, athleticism, etc) The Astrians are Star Spirits The Eudaimons are angelic nature spirits 🧵Pt 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!

#FantasyIndiesAugust 4 My favorite fairy tale has always been The Pied Piper of Hamelin. When I was a kid, I interpreted as a "children's liberation" for the Piper delivering the town's children away from adult corruption. But now, I see it as a tragedy. And all based on a medieval mystery.

#Critterary #WritingPrompts #Writing Woodwoses are also known as the Green People, for their green hirsute and leafy arrayment.

Serra Leta@serraleta.bsky.social · 3d ago

Names, names, names... Starting off we're discussing if your creature(s) has any other names (in any language) they might go by in your story, categorization, and if there's any other family tree relations. #Writing #WritingPrompts #Critterary

#QueerPrompts #WritingCommunity #WritingSky #Writesky #WritingPrompts Bethany would much prefer her trio of companions Who are more then just her friends, but her sisterly figures and chosen family

🌈CJ Aralore@cjaralore.bsky.social · 2d ago

#QueerPrompts August 4: Do your character(s) prefer one close friend or a big friend group?

#AwesomeCharacters I like to think that Bethany is perfectly honest in her memoirs Her tone would be frank and real Though, she might criticize herself a little

🌱🫜 Charlie (Chelizabeth) Delta 🦊🪻@charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 2d ago

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

#TimeTravelAuthors 3 #WritingSky #WritingPrompts #WIP #Writesky The time-traveling MC, Alicia Caldwell, is originally from Ireland (a young child during the Troubles), but after the deaths of her paternal family, she & her English mother moved to a Somerset village (Pipley) in Sedgemoor County.

#AugustWorldbuilders #WritingCommunity #Writesky #WIP Otherworld has Magomancy Institute for benign magic & Scholomance for dark sorcery (both for witches of Fae descent) Sortilege School is earth-based schooling for mortal witches (whose powers are psychic in nature) posing as foster homes

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 3d ago

Good day, #AugustWorldbuilders! Today's Q: does your world have specialized schools for people seeking a specific job or trade? Or anything like a magic or military school?

#MythAugust #WritingCommunity #Writesky #WritingPrompt #WIP #WritingPrompts The Numinal Trine & the Ousiarch deities of Nequinum are both lawful & chaotic good, even the trickster & hedonistic ones. The Topetian Pantheon (of the Magalote Empire) are both chaotic evil & (faux) affably evil.

🫜Prof Emily🫜@professoremily.bsky.social · 3d ago

#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! ☺️

#AnthropologyAugust #Writesky #WritingCommunity #WIP #WritingPrompts Dragons Though they're neither near extinction nor rare. They just prefer to remain in their territory. Rarely do they leave their territory to cause mayhem & rampage. They keep to themselves but will attack when provoked.

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · 3d ago

#AnthropologyAugust Yesterday we talked about the most common intelligent species, whether that be the most well spread or the highest population. Today let’s talk about the opposite What is the rarest intelligent species? How did they become so few? Are any near extinction? #promtgame #writesky

#FantasyIndiesAugust Two truths and a lie about the Rose Book. Rose's mare is named Goldie. Chana likes axes. Mathias only eats for fuel, not enjoyment. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @fantasyindies.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

#1 is the lie. Her mare is named Truefoot. Chana makes a snarky comment about naming the horse 'Goldie' or something silly like that.

#AwesomeCharacters #Writesky #WIP One antagonistic character of mine, Dromb the Baalite (God-emperor) of the Magalote nation, cannot & will not handle criticism well. He's an absolute, narcissistic manchild who insists that he's always right. He would insult & crybully at those who criticize him.

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

#CartAugust #WritingSky #WritingPrompt #Writesky #WIP I have the whole world of Nequinum mapped out, covered every corner, every nook & cranny on this small, spherical world of mine. No part will be left unexplored.

Hey #CartAugust crew! Still just broad-brushing the basics today. Tell me about the mysterious, unknown, and unexplored. Where in your world is giving cartographers horror vacui? Don't forget to share your map! Check out one another's worlds!

#AugustWorldbuilders #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Writesky #WIP #WritingSky In the Magomancy Institute, some of the subjects consist of potion brewing, alchemy (magical chemistry), flying lessons (broom, pitchfork, distaff, familiar), divination, illusion, spellcasting, shape-changing...🧵Pt 1

Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)@kiraofthewind.com · 4d ago

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 #WritingSky #Wip #Writesky Amnos, the Messianic son of the Sky Father and Earth Mother Thespoine, the Earth Mother, mother of Amnos. Queen of the land and ocean. Amast, the Sky Father & Creator of all existence. Father of Amnos, Husband to Thespoine. They're the Numinous Trine

#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 😁

#FantasyIndiesAugust 2 #Wip #Writesky #WritingCommunity #Booksky #WritingPrompts #Writing 1. The MC (Bethany) is a bisexual Heroine who has a happy ending 2. The MC marries the reformed villains at the end 3. The MC's school bullies get humiliated at the end

#QueerPrompts #WritingSky #Writesky #Wip Dimitria "Demi" Miller is more likely to make friends, both on earth & in the afterlife. But she would also make enemies with the demons she comes across for thwarting, defying, or opposing them. Some souls would be wholly indifferent toward her.

🌈CJ Aralore@cjaralore.bsky.social · 4d ago

#QueerPrompts August 2: Are your character(s) more likely to make friends or enemies?

From Talia: On the Shore of the Sea. This is the scene that formed who Rose is in my mind. "You've killed both our children," is the most sorrowful line I've ever written.

#AnthropologyAugust Ok let’s get this going with day 1! What is the most common intelligent sapient species in your fantasy world? That can either be the one with the highest population, or just the one that is spread around the most. What makes them so common? #writesky #promptgame #prompt
