Can someone explain to me the difference between these three?

paranormal romance

Honest to god they feel like they are a mostly overlapping Venn diagram 🫠

Забыли, как звали того торговца из второй главы? Хронология событий, родословные, детали мира — всё это легко потерять в длинной саге. Попробуйте AI-память: она сохранит имена, даты и связи между событиями. Полезно для поддержания консистентности вашего мира.

Sometimes we need to read (and write) a story about an overworked Lady of the Lake and a very sassy Excalibur, don’t we? 😘

It is going to change title, and it is going to be heavily edited along with Book 1 of the duology, but I’m making progress! We’re at almost 85,000 words with about 10 chapters to go! #writingcommunity #fantasywriters #wip #writingjourney

Some things I would love to learn how to do:

1 - read Tarot
2 - understand how people put together astrological predictions.

Because both of those things feel like excellent plot devices for stories. #writers #writingcommunity #fantasywriters

Hello creatures and beings of the Fedilands!

I come to you with a request—or perhaps an offer, depending on how you choose to see it. A few months ago, I released a small audio-drama project based on three short fantasy stories I had written. At the time, I asked whether any of you might be interested in lending your voices to the endeavor. What I did not anticipate was the sheer wave of feedback and enthusiasm that followed its release.

There was, however, a shadow over that first incarnation. The project was born from a college writing class and bound tightly by length limits and an unforgiving timeline. Creative corners were cut. Wings were clipped before they could fully spread.

So now, encouraged by friends and kindred spirits, I have chosen to begin anew.

Blackwood Tales rises again.

The script for Episode One is complete, and Episode Two is already taking shape in the dark between the stars.

And now we come to the true meat and bones of this message. I am seeking collaborators of all kinds. Voice actors, composers, artists, and any wandering souls who feel the pull of this world. You are warmly invited. If the project calls to you, I would be delighted to speak and see where your talents might weave into the tapestry.

A brief synopsis:
A young man burdened with seemingly useless magic, a collection of ancient books, and the weight of his grandfather’s legendary legacy must find a way to save his brother—and restore the freedom of magical creatures from Tarrinia’s tyrannical ruler.

Getting involved:

I have been a D&D Dungeon Master since the early 80s. Not coincidentally, I've also written four fantasy novels (since 2013). I have an efficient method for taking a creative idea and producing a 80k-100k novel in about six months. If I create a YouTube video about my writing process, would you find that useful?

Every Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy Society and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). This time we head to Scotland to meet David H. McTaggart. You might've spotted him as he drives trucks around the country while listening to fantasy audiobooks...

Hello, Fantasy Writers! 👋

Welcome to #FantasyFictionFriday —a weekly space where we dive into the writing process together! Each week, we’ll post a question to spark conversation, share tips, and learn from each other’s creative methods.

Question 1:
Do you keep a separate document for worldbuilding notes, or do you store it all in your head?

Let us know how you keep your worlds organized (or chaotic)! 🗺️📝

You know how most fighters struggle with fighting a south paw (left-handed) fighter because everything is mirrored? Would it be the same with swordfighting, so a left-handed sword fighter could have an advantage? ⚔️

Every Friday, I meet a member of the BFS and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). This week, I check in with historical/political fantasy writer and Tamora Pierce super-fan Willow Woods, who's currently running a Kickstarter to help fund her next audiobook.

#WordWeavers Nov 03: Who is your favorite antagonist? Why?

Emet Selch from Final Fantasy XIV.
Yes, a character from an MMOTPG.

Why?
He is clearly the antagonist. You the player works constantly to twart his actions. Which are undoubtedly bad.

But he IS the hero of his story.
When he laid his reasons bare. You understand, and you, in his place, would do exactly the same. And it is because of that, that you must opose.(...)

The #RSC #Macbeth programme says that the #Gaelic #underworld is made of three intersecting circles. The first is home to #faries and other #mythological creatures, the second is where the dead go where they remain in familiar places, and the third is home to #witches and #deamons. Lots of great #inspiration for #FantasyWriters.

I would love some #BookRecommendations if anyone knows any!

I'm specifically after #fantasy #books with male #Queer protagonists, which are NOT romance focused (a little is fine, but I don't want to read a Romance™️ book). Incidental queerness.

I'd really like to read books by men or other queer writers. Women authors are great, but I struggle to find representation from a male perspective, if that makes sense
