I just wrote nearly 3,000 words of ‘the dead are bitter’ in one sitting. who the fuck am I and what have I done with regular me?

#I also want to make some edits but im having some photoshop issuesssss #either way #progress is being made! #im taking a step back from fury's reign for a little while #it's still my main wip but Im a little stuck with it at the moment #probably because as a story its a heck lot more ambitious and huge #which scares my poor brain #she speaks

those same words her mother had whispered to her played on repeat in delphine’s head as she sobbed in front of her family’s graves . the weight of the schuyler family legacy a heavy weight on top of her shoulders , a weight she had welcomely burdened , but a weight she was terrified of none the less. 

that fire inside of her had never burned brighter . delphine did her best to put it out.

eleven years later , delphine is now living with her uncle in the small town of calico , a quiet mining town that doesn’t see much crime save for a handful of street robberies and “ suspicious figures ” prowling it’s dusty streets . so when the local gun smith and a bank teller turn up with a bullet between their eyes and matching missing chunks out of their flesh , saying that the people of calico had lost their minds would be the understatement of the century . with rumors passing through the town like a plague and delphine’s uncle obsessing over finding and arresting the “ red devil, ” delphine can feel that hunger for ambition creeping back in and hovering over her like a second shadow , the familiar warmth of that forgotten fire spreading through her veins.

𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫  has always been an ambitious woman , and if going against her uncle’s wishes and tracking down a dangerous outlaw is what it takes to secure her legacy , then she’ll be damned if she doesn’t do it.

Blood red, strawberry pink?

thank you for your ask <33 I might ramble a lil

Blood Red: Favourite piece of dialogue from your wip

answering for TDAB. I haven't actually started writing yet but in my outline I've included a lot of dialogue that I want to put into a certain scene, and any of the banter between Abi and Josef is automatically a favourite. Some of my fave prospective lines of dialogue so far though, are

“I can’t attract a single boy in seventeen years and the one time I do, he’s a trickster spirit who probably wants to kill me”

“The dead don’t feel pain, Abi. Lesson one.”

“Isaiah, this is my friend Josef Oshiro, I believe I’ve mentioned him.” Isaiah regards him carefully. “Indeed you have. I believe you told me he was an annoying prick who sent you on a wild goose chase with only loose ends.” Josef looks at her accusatively, and she smiles at him. “Yes, well that was after meeting him the first time. The goose chase is more or less over, though he’s still an annoying prick.”

“If I die, Abilene Whitlow, I will haunt you for the rest of your life. And I’ll find this Josef guy and make him haunt you as well for being so stupid. And I’ll make the entire Afterlife give you hell for years.”

Strawberry Pink: Ship trope you have in your book

Ghost Shipping: Shipping a live character with a dead character, self-explanatory when half your story is told in the afterlife

Abi and Josef also fit the “pure, naive baby with the jaded baby who wants to protect them”

also kind of enemies to lovers but only in the sense that they spend half of the book antagonising each other and arguing over everything

bubblegum pink and daffodil yellow

thank you for your ask <3

Bubblegum Pink: If you could only write one genre for the rest of your life, what would it be?

as much as I'm loving writing with the real world, I love fantasy too much to only ever write somewhat contemporary. I think I could write a million fantasy stories because there’s not really a single limit to what you can do with it

Daffodil Yellow: Does worldbuilding come easily to you?

kind of, I do love world building and do a lot of it, particularly for fury’s reign, that I just add to as I go along, but I do get ‘world building block’ where I have no idea what I'm doing at all or seemingly can’t come up with any good ideas

Primrose Yellow: What’s your least favourite genre to write?

Iced Coffee Brown: What is one character that readers wouldn’t expect to do what they did?

#finishing the outline for tdab has made me wanna scream about it to everyone so if you got some questions then send 'em in babes #<333

[furysreign]

perhaps a 16,000 word outline is excessive bUT the outline for TDAB book one is now complete!! no idea what the actual word count for the first draft will be but so far the book will be 37 chapters long, and hopefully between 70,000 and 90,000 words. excited to get started! 

#I already have like 60-ish percent of book two figured as well which like... never happens so #my brain is on a high apparently which is weird because I'm so tired all the time #wip: the dead are bitter

MY NAME IS NEMESIS

genre: magical realism, elitist cult, revenge tragedy

wc goal: 60k 

I laugh at my scars. The scratch on my ankle, a side effect of wasted tripping into Beck’s collection of fireplace pokers. “Those were my grandfathers.” Yeah, Beck, everything in your house is an heirloom. Valuable only to you.

Then, my ring finger sports a pink, wavy indent. Some second-cousin once-removed dared me to stick it in a burning candle wick. What was I going to do, say no? I held my hand over it a moment too long, watched her sneer widen into terror as my skin melted. I snapped a mental photograph of that face, take it out for a laugh. Scars are comedic souvenirs carved into me for my own mistakes. I charm the most pretentious, self-serving of rooms with these stories. I own them.

Standing in the white-tiled chamber, I have a hundred fresh cuts from head to toe. My body is drenched in blood, as is the floor, as are the bodies rag-dolled around me. Did I do that to them? What have they done to me? My hands are sliced like a mosaic. These better not leave a fucking scar. I’m not a beast to be branded. I’m fucking livid. I am murderous. 

My name is Nemesis. This is my villain origin story.

“Scars” | Laudan |  Born to the Sea

His thoughts wandered back to Laudan, wrapped in luxurious armor that hid the scars he had been allowed to touch. Except they weren’t from the Heressia, but from the sword blows of countless rebels. Now he knew his secret. A truth so heavy that he could share it with no one. [Vaelen’s PoV]

THE HONEY SEALERS … a wip by lau c.

genre ; — magical realism, contemporary

themes & tropes ; — the unraveling of reality, non-spaces & supermodernity, a rag-tag group of assholes, unreality & ghosts, mythology, the unchosen ones, losing humanity, the apocalypse, the hellhole that is your early twenties, lgbtqia+, loss

synopsis ; — channing carries her heart in the pocket of her coat. and sometimes it hurts to be alive, but that’s alright, the world is ending anyway. with reality coming apart at the seams, the past has crawled back in, slipped through the cracks. insidious. it haunts. chases mortality to the edge. leaves it heaving, aching, breathing. but not for long. and channing carries her heart in the pocket of her coat, hoping that someday, she’ll have someone to share it with.

WIP (Re-)Introduction | The Dead are Bitter (working title)

Imelda once asked me if I ever felt afraid of my connection to the Afterlife; if I ever tossed and turned at night thinking of my own mortality, my own finality. I said I had never, because the spark of humanity is never completely extinguished. Light and laughter carries on with the soul, memory keeps one alive even after death. And how scary could it be, really, to cross from one threshold to the next just as billions before I have done? Death is the sole constant of life, so it has been since the first moments of consciousness, and so it shall be until the last. It is not death that scares me, it is what comes after it.

Synopsis

When a near death experience as a child left Abilene Whitlow orphaned and vulnerable, she discovered her ability to cross between the land of the living, and the land of the dead. Now eighteen years old, she works at a shop run by a self-proclaimed psychic, performing seances and comforting mourners with messages from the deceased, while in dreams she walks with friends long since departed. It is all routine, all normal, until she hears the frightened soul of a long dead teenager call out to her, and increasingly frequent visions of a man with bright green eyes begins to haunt her in both worlds. Something nefarious lies in wait, hidden between the fabric of two dimensions, and Abi must track down the dead boy before it’s too late, the both of them the only ones capable of stopping what threatens to bring carnage from the dead to the living.

re-reading this chapter and like 95% of it needs rewriting lmao, but as always this is just a first draft so I gotta be less of a perfectionist about it for now. Hope you enjoy Jin’s first chapter <33

“Before the Storm” | Born to the Sea

Featuring Vaelen & Laudan, two of the protagonists from Born to the Sea (and madly in love).

“You are a storm. I cannot withstand you.” [Laudan’s PoV]

[Wip Tag | Caliyan | Laudan | Vaelen | Art]  

#oh wow this is stunning!! #*heart eyes emoji* #other wips

[furysreign]

genre: fiction // romance

themes and tropes: adaptation; coming of age; dysfunctional family; friends to lovers; identity crisis; mental health; my trauma made me funny; rivals to lovers; we are not taking ourselves that seriously but we definitely should; young adult

format: full-length play

status: writing

goal: 150 pages

synopsis: Penelope struggles to deal with the loss of her transgender sister and with her own seuxality. Her mother alternates between denying that Shannon, Penelope’s older sibling, existed at all and that she died. Penelope also deals with the complexities of dysfunctional family interpersonal dynamics, behaviors, and relationships with one another.

Beatrice makes herself out to be a caricature of who she is by embracing all the rumors people have said about her and being exactly who they think she is: that she smokes, drives a classic motorcycle, whips through sexual partners, is careless with herself and others and has no work ethic. Why she does this is a mystery for Penelope, who catches glimpses of who her best friend actually is.

Fabian similarly struggles with family issues. He was adopted at thirteen and never quite feels like he has a footing in his new family, at school, on the varsity track team. He sees himself as a transient being, with no real identity beyond his name. He has demons from his past to confront and will sternly ignore that anything is amiss inside himself.
