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

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.

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?

Random thought: 🤔
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? ⚔️

#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.(...)

It's World Mental Health Day on Tuesday, so I asked the maestro of these things in the SFFH world to write a guest post for the British Fantasy Society. Thank you, as always, for your amazing advocacy, Dave Jeffery 🙏

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
