we need to start off by addressing your fancy pen name, because it is fancy and I also want one now haha. <3 science fiction! I actually think most of the sci fi books I've read had to be a badass girl heading to a spaceship and beating a bunch of dudes or proving herself in the current planet she's in.

If i'm being honest, sci fi is like one of those genres that I'm unfamiliar with. I have seen most of the mainstream ones being aliens, but if you have any recs, I'd love to check them out!

AND ALSO. Modern fantasy having horror/thriller undertones is what keeps the action going and me flipping the page. I don't think it's needed, obviously, but I love it being a nice bonus to fantasy haha.

IS THAT ROMANCE IN THIS LINE I SEE. I AM MELTING FROM IT. I NEED THE SCENE TO BE EXPLAINED. NOBODY BETTER DIE AHHHHH

me, desperate for some writer friends/mutuals

hi everyone!

this is just a post where writers get to know writers, and hopefully through reblogs/comments we can find more people who not only read/write our genre, but just people who have similarities with us.

it's kind of a simple "get to know me" post, and anyone can join <3

feel free to tag your mutuals and reblog !!

The Kumiho is a shapeshifting creature of Korean legend. A nine tailed fox who has learnt to take human form, they typically transform into beautiful women to (literally) eat the hearts of unlucky young men.

There are many tales of shapeshifting, multi-tailed foxes (with nine being the desirable number) but what sets the Kumiho apart from the others is the source of their power. Each Kumiho is said to carry a bead, called a yeowoo guseul, which their power comes from. They are able to drain the energy of a human by inserting and retrieving the bead from a human’s month (under the guise of kissing). 

This is a risky method - if a human steals and swallows the bead they can grain incredible knowledge.
