#fantasy #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WIPSnips #thrill Rushak is protective of his cousin. I don’t know how to fight scenes, so it’s fair I write them for characters that have no idea how to fight. Right? 😅 - Brother’s Keeper, my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power

carry, but there was a limb of leafy branches torn from a felled tree. He grabbed that and whirled about to see Mistle beset by another Cedhrun, larger and stronger. Not be useless, not be useless—He dashed toward her screaming, the limb with its branches extended in front of him. The mass took the Cedhrun in the face and its axe scythed down between him and Mistle, missing them both. As it staggered backward, Mistle swept its legs out from under it with her spear shaft. Rushak grabbed the axe and hurled it back through the trees. Their eyes met. Mistle's face was scratched, her arm bleeding, but she was flushed with exhilaration. She was also endangered by fatigue. No such THRILL inflamed Rushak's blood; his pulse thundered, wild with fear. He glanced at their toppled foe, which was still struggling with the branches in its face. Then he glared at her. "Come on!" he said through his teeth, tilting his head toward the looming Forest trees. "You are very talented, but we can help better from up there." Brother's Keeper A.C. Turek

August 3 #WIPsnips: “thrill” You know when they tell you Look but don’t touch, And you know—you just know!—that you shouldn’t? Though you think you know better—the pain can’t be that much! But who is to say that it couldn’t? A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”

In the moment her monstrous husband gave her the keys to every palace door, Bluebeard’s wife must have known she would open the forbidden one. There was no version, or at least no satisfying version, in which she did not. As a child, Jenny had imagined herself this woman, this wife, dressed in a puff-sleeved gown, padding around her grand country home and unlocking room after room of treasure with no man in sight to stop her. What heaven! What fun! But what she liked even more than picturing herself in silk dresses and pearls as big as acorns was the subtle thrill of inevitable doom. The key was as much permission as temptation: go on, live a little, no one will ever know. What would it feel like, Jenny wondered, to be ordered not to open a door and know with equal certainty that you must? Where did curiosity end and pure pigheadedness begin? She knew she should not be here, grinding the toe of her scuffed ballet flat against the polished linoleum outside Gregory’s office door at half past seven. He’d warned her she could only knock on his door to discuss her grad school applications. Even then she’d have to make an appointment and keep the door wide open—no secrets. And yet, that was her knock echoing down the hallway, her wine-sour breath fogging the metal plate above the Braille placard. Here be dragons, princess.

#WIPSnips The word for August 3 is THRILL This "thrilling" snip from NOMARA is part of a flashback of Kharys's story. He was captured as a child by Oandah, but Arasend took him--and nurtured him to be her lover. He's a teen now and Oandah makes a deadly move... #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SFF

Text excerpt from NOMARA, a science fiction WIP by L.L. Stephens. In this snip, which is a flashback to Kharys's story, Oandah makes the move that gets her exiled by Arasend: she tries to take the Queen's prize captive. In the deepening amber cast by that setting sun, he saw Oandah. She had grown in dominance, Arasend’s daughter who had not slain him that day five years ago but had brought him to this place and to this fate. Her commands had gained in stature and now she led a twelfth of Eshuun’s warriors. Her triumphs filled the Hall; she had her choice of captives now. Her golden skin caught the dying light and molded it so that it clothed her like fire. As she stood before Kharys, the distance between them measured in a few feet of path, only Oandah’s eyes, themselves the lambent gold of flame, touched him. They touched him boldly, without fear. The wrongness of it struck Kharys dumb with a new, uncertain, terror. She should not be in the garden, and he knew this. Only Arasend ever came to him here or saw him without his veils. Suddenly, the strange, nonhuman conventions his asexual guardians had forced on him were to be honored, obeyed, and he turned from Oandah, thinking to flee. But her hand reached out, and seized his wrist, placing a possessive heat upon his flesh. “Kharys, no,” she said. He tried to pull away, but there was something in her touch, a thrilling, velvet urgency, that commanded him. His whole body trembled in her grasp, though it was only his arm she held captive.

Lex is a noblewoman, heir to her family's seat on the city's ruling council and their pharmaceutical megacorporation. Daemrin is a lowborn mercenary hired to be her bodyguard. But before all that, they meet at a friend's party, where sparks instantly fly. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

He grasped her hand before she could pull away. “I’m glad you decided to come.” Blushing again, she raised an eyebrow at him. “Why?” His smile burned into her, sending a shiver down her spine. Heat throbbed between her legs. “If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t have met such an interesting, funny, gorgeous woman tonight.” “Do you say that to every woman you meet?” “Only the interesting, funny, gorgeous ones.” She huffed a soft laugh, unable to help herself. “Daemrin, has anyone ever told you you’re incorrigible?” “If by ‘incorrigible’ you mean charming, funny, and handsome?” She laughed again, but this time she noticed the heat radiating off him, the angle of his body toward hers, and the gentle way his thumb rubbed the back of her hand. His pale gray eyes never left her face, taking interest without intruding. Fire kindled to life inside her—small sparks, but alive nonetheless, and threatening to grow into a raging storm if left unchecked. Her skin prickled with the tension between them, while deep inside her, a growing ache urged her to act. Lex took a half-step closer, closing the gap between them. She leaned up, tilting her chin toward his face. “Something like that,” she murmured, sliding her free hand to the back of his neck. Daemrin’s grin was the last thing she saw before she closed her eyes. Then their lips met, and every nerve in her lit up with an electric thrill. —What the Iron Gave Us, draft #1, unedited

#WIPSnips 3. “Thrill” > “Gratification” If this weren’t Ashrah, the word here would be “thrill”—and indeed it was before I realised it didn’t fit her. Sareena gives her opinion on an Edenian god. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

“That’s what they don’t get about Agahmul. There’s no reward, no relief, no salvation. Suffering is the beginning and the end. When he ascended to godhood, he didn’t become the God of Hope. He became the Broken God.” “That is… curiously insightful,” Datusha noted. Ashrah stared down at the pendant in her hand, revulsion twisting her guts where before had been the gratification of learning. If Sareena spoke the truth about this Agahmul, a being who ascended to divinity but still could not escape his cycle of torment, could not break the chains that made him a slave to vice, then his godhood meant as much as a drop of blood in a massacre.

This might be too 'purple' for some, but this still rings my bell to this day. Honestly there's more I want to add, but we're still drafting so we'll have to see how it turns out on a second pass. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #bvm #bipoc #amwriting #Fantasy #SFF

A jolt, a torrent, a boom, like a storm washed its way through and echoed off the walls of the great mountain. Tokonus’ body trembled at the frequency, breath stolen by the vibration, and sight enraptured by the movement. Unbound, restless, spirited – forms stepped, swayed, swirled kicked, stomped. A glide, a flutter, a float and then a sting; chest thrust out, shaken; arms rise and fall drawing it all down together. Chirping flutes, thunderous drums, and enchanting dancers – both Umakek and Zhaly alike – waved like shadows against the sound. Was it the dancer who led the note, or was it the chanting song that charmed the winding artists? Light, flickering like a flame, came to life within a crystalline structure resting at the epicenter of this great parade of spirits. Their leader, Jniaja, moved with a fluidity that shamed all who followed her rhythm. Shell-like charms attached to her dress, cooed and called along with each step she took. Tokonus sat with eyes fixed on her, unable to look away from the Zepta’s motion. Every tingle, every whimper that surrounded the Zhaly was at her command. As if held fast by Nedren himself, the lord was paralyzed. Jniaja closed her eyes and popped her chest once, caressed her form down to her hips, then again and a third she pumped her breast up. That woman was like a hurricane, and he was swept up in her whirlwind.
