Please share this post and the one beneath it so I can prove to my fellow indie authors that Mastodon has the spirit and the community I have been telling them about.
They keep resisting coming here but maybe if they can see that you guys love art, whether it is written, drawn, knitted, or carved, they would join the wonderful communities here. (:

What story should I work on next?
Urban Fantasy: Almost finished and ready for edits - tells a comedic story with high magic, shanenigans, friendship and high stakes.
GrimDarkFantasy: Continues in the realm of the Fairytale, with new characters, high magic, and a world that has seen many apocalyptic events.
Horror Novellette: I have an eBook cover for this one waiting to be used.

Chapter NINE of the fairytale is now done, and 10 is SO CLOSE but I am unfortunately duty bound to feed my flesh prison, and make sure my partner get some food too. (:
Tomorrow I will finish the story edits, and then plow through the worst of spelling before bothering my editor again. :P

Chapter EIGHT of the fairytale has been story edited, and number one has been given edits by my editor, which I implimented at the best of my ability with the ten brain cells that agreed to work with me today. (:
More tomorrow, since I let chapter NINE in middle.

Chapter SEVEN of the fairytale is now edited - it needed some more work either because I am brainless form not having a very good nap, or because the story needed to be refined just a littlebit more. :P
Anyway, a gloriously naked man has been dressed, a stolen treasure stolen back from a treasury, and an escape plan has been successfully completed!

Chapter two of the Fairytale has been edited, and first Wish found its (hopefully) final form. Who knew it was so hard to figure out a good wording for a wish that will turn foul in a few chapters? :P

Chapter 5 is halfway done, and now axes are being wielded in very scary and magical way. (:
Would you chop thousands of years old trees just to lug a giant cage to a center of a grove that is probably older than your species just to fullfill a request?
My characters are fucking around and finding out while I need to go do dishes and cook sumthing.

Fairytale has now reaced second draft in Ellipsus, and I will write it properly out this month - all 10 chapters.
And it has a title too:
Beasts at Arms - the Myth of Forest's Blessing(Yes little nod to Terry Pratchett there)

I spent a good few hours plotting more history for my GrimDark world, found names for my my fairytale characters, picked which way I will tell the story (3rd person omnicient), and expanded the whole premise so I can fill the plot with interesting details (but not too many). (:
The title is just at the tip of my tongue, and so it the very first words...
But I need food, and need to do more laundry, so it has to wait.

I spent couple hours or so plotting my Fairytale entry and thus far it has Grimdark themes, and it will tie to a world I have plotted out for another story.
It will have a scary beast, enchanting tower, a prince, a wannabe princess, a poor girl, a knight who learns a lesson, and a final teaching to tie everything into a neat-ish bow.
I will still make a chapter plan before I outright write it, but I like the overview thus far!

Wie sattelfest bist du bei #Fantasygenres? Ich muss zugeben, dass ich da manchmal auch nicht weiß, wo da die Grenzen sind. In diesem Blogbeitrag habe ich mich daher nochmal mit den Genres beschäftigt und eine nicht ganz ernst gemeinte Kategorisierung angestellt. Viel Spaß beim Lesen ;).

Fantasy Genres – die ultimative Erklärung
Fantasy Genres bringen mich ehrlich gesagt auch immer wieder ins Schleudern. Neben den bekannten Genres wie "High Fantasy" und "Dark Fantasy" existieren eine Reihe weiterer Subgenres, deren Bedeutung sich nicht unbedingt von selbst erschließt. Und ja, auch Autor:innen sind manchmal verunsichert. Deshalb habe ich heute eine nicht ganz ernst gemeinte Kategorisierung erstellt - viel Spaß ;).

Happy new year, everyone.
Stay true to yourself. Believe in your potential. Find happiness and joy in your own magic.
2026 will be the year of my next novel Making Monsters and the year my work gets more and more unhinged.
My main goal for this year is to be recognized as the Doom Guy of writing, ripping and tearing until readers beg for mercy (or for more).Have fun and stay tuned 💀🩸

I asked my partner if a chapter referencing the Akira slide, introducing sword-wielding cyborg women whose augmentations make them look like praying mantids, and featuring a character wearing shades on a chopper like Terminator was cool enough and his reply was "absolute cinema"
