✦ MY WRITEBLR INTRODUCTION ✦
Hey! I've been here for a while and I've somehow amassed a shocking amount of followers and mutuals, so I figured it's finally time for me to force one of these out for you guys!
(And you know... a masterpost... when I get around to it. 😅😭)
About me:
✦ Barlowe (she/her)
✦ In my early 20s
✦ A writer of 10 years ✦ working on novels for 6 of 10!
✦ Less dedicated to—but still interested in!—drawing, animation, photography, and cinematography
✦ AuDHD and a grey lesbian (aka I'm leaning asexual) ✦ (my writing may or may not be a special interest)
✦ I have a whole bunch of other neurodivergencies besides AuDHD but I don't think y'all want me to get into all of them, haha. ✦ oh, and I say "haha" a lot. I apologize in advance.
✦ I think I'm hilarious and make jokes constantly
✦ I use a lot of emojis and tone tags to help convey tone. Please forgive me if it's annoying, it's to cope with my inability to communicate. /lh /hj
My Obsessions:
✦ Fantasy, horror, mystery, action, and exploration of realistic characters' reactions to the things they go through.
✦ Fairy tales, mythology, and folklore
✦ "Ye Olde History" and language
✦ DIVERSITY!!!
✦ Explorations of "evil-coded" characters and abilities--aka, not just showing them as evil. Show them as people (for characters) and tools (for abilities)!
✦ Traumatizing my characters just like I've been
✦ Traumatizing my characters in ways I haven't been!
✦ Learning!!!
✦ Talking way too much about the things I like to the point that I need to make a whole separate post to share it so it doesn't clutter my intro post... oh, hey, why is this linked?
✦ THE AESTHETIC!!!!
My Aesthetics:
Those who've been following me for a bit probably know that I adore "the aesthetic" and try to make my posts look nice... even if there's no real reason to besides that it gives me a little serotonin. Here's my favorite aesthetics!
✦ Starry; night sky ✦ Dawn / dusk ✦ Sunrise / sunset
✦ Nature! ✦ Forestry ✦ Cottagecore ✦ Rustic ✦ Ocean
✦ Literally all of them, please and thank you

(to be added later)
My Writing:
✎ Sun and Shadow
Everything goes wrong for Freya Ula when she leaves her simple life as a fisherwoman to get engaged overseas. Her ship gets wrecked, she finds out her dad's been hiding secrets from her for her whole life, and, oh, she gets framed for a terrorist attack. Wait, WHAT!? After the city's greatest detective is attacked and disappears before she could consult with him, Frey has to enlist the help of his kid and her would-be fiancée to find out who framed her and clear her name. If only Crow was half as good a detective their dad was supposed to be.
Main characters: Freya, Crow, Daleira
✦ Urban-esque high fantasy ✦ purposely very tropey in places ✦ however, as always, I love throwing in curveballs. Wonder what's played straight and what I'm going to emotionally destroy you with. Definitely won't be Crow.
✦ Slow-burn romance between Freya and Crow ✦ immediate interest between Freya / Daleira ✦ oh, look, it's a love triangle? ✦ JOKE'S ON YOU, IT'LL ACTUALLY BE POLY ✦ it's just... going to take a while.
✦ Lesbians, lesbians everywhere ✦ though Crow is actually genderfluid and uses they/them for the first book ✦ despite barely having anything written I've already plotted a bit of book 2 ✦ I desperately need help.
✦ Unsurprisingly is a detective mystery with action mixed in ✦ I'm not typically a romance writer, I excel in action fantasy ✦ please have mercy on my soul
✦ Lots of magic, it's high fantasy + victorian aesthetic ✦ (aka "gaslamp fantasy" if you've heard of it) ✦ Freya's got sun-themed magic ✦ gasp, I know ✦ Crow's got shadow magic ✦ wonder why this sounds familiar ✦ Daleira's got, hm, well it's also shadowy! ✦ spoilers 😘
✦ About to be updated en-masse for a writing contest!!!
✎ The Arcane Rifts
Ghosts of past tragedies haunt the town of Kavo after decades of neglect. Fantastical creatures desiring nothing but fear and destruction hide in invisible tears in reality. Gangs and the police are at constant war with one another, there's a shapeshifting monster running amok, and the mayor's assistant suddenly wants a disabled orphan kicked to the streets. A year ago, Gene was discovered in the forest on the outskirts of town, half dead, amnesiac, and unable to even speak the local language. As he had nowhere to go, he was brought to the orphanage of Kavo for a place to stay. Now Caspar, the assistant of the mayor and the man who funds the orphanage, wants him kicked out. When Gene's left to the cold, cruel streets of Kavo on his own, he has to navigate through a town ravaged by decades of neglect and intrigue. Has the corruption truly been purged from the government? Why are godly forces active in Kavo, a small town in a backwater country? And most importantly--will Gene survive?
Main Characters: Gene, Tazin, Mislav, Ludmila, Rada ❧ Gene and Tazin for book 1 ❧ the other 3 start being MCs books 2 and 3 ❧ I guess Nikolai is also a MC tho
❧ Industrial-era rustic high fantasy ❧ mixes fantasy, action, horror, and mystery! ❧ oh helloooooo "ominous feychild" origin? ❧ very strong folkloric and traditional fantasy inspo ❧ except I mean "traditional fantasy" as in ❧ "we don't understand this magic stuff but we're used to it" ❧ not "travel the world adventures!"
❧ VERY involved story with strong themes of discrimination, poverty, exploitation, trauma, and the recovery from trauma ❧ each main and secondary character is one flavor of discriminated against or another in-universe ❧ obviously I try to write it respectfully, but you can't really write bigots being bigots "respectfully"
❧ Has two "main plots" going on simultaneously; technically three ❧ I periodically give the reader updated "character guides" ❧ like they get more recent plot info added kinda like a red-string board to keep you, the audience, up-to-date with info you might've otherwise missed ❧ I think it's really cool and people seem to enjoy it ❧ I know it seems like a lot but please give it a chance
❧ I've literally plotted out pretty much the entirety of the first and second books, and know most of how book 3 will go, yet there's very little out for the current version of the story ❧ part of that is because I'm paused on the 3rd draft
❧ There's lots of timeskips throughout the first two books, but they're mostly to age up the protagonists! Gene, the MC, starts the series at 7. I promise it's not a kid's story though.
❧ The "secondary MC", Nikolai, is the police chief investigating magical stuff going on at the same time. They tie in with the main story involving Gene, though won't appear to for a long while.
❧ The "golden child" series I love more than SaS; however it's on hiatus because I promised people to work on SaS first and SaS is more popular as a romance-focused story. :/ ❧ I would never be salty about that.

Writeblr Introduction
Dotted in secret stars and whispered moons lies The Warden O' Wyrd; too bright smiles and sharp eyes linger on her skin, miasma orbiting their visage. When dusk's hands sweep fluttering eyes closed her shackles, in turn, loosen.
Greetings and welcome all, I am Wardenwyrd - connoisseur of messy queers, the freaky & occult, and all things speculative fiction! I am freshly new to Writeblr and am keen to dig my claws so fellow denizens of Writeblr interact if you enjoy my vibes < 3
Open to ask and tag games !
◈What I write ◈
Anything and absolutely everything speculative, weird horror, all shapes and forms of queerness, and a metric ton of worldbuilding.
Genres: Fantasy (Low, high, dark, fairy tale-esque, etc), Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Romance, Horror, Mystery
Fantastical, often ethereal and treacherous worlds flavoured with flowery prose
Queer, neurodivergent, and disabled characters and themes. All kinds of diversity really. Always looking to broaden and grow my noggin' with wisdom
Gender queer characters. An UNBELIEVABLE amount of dyed hair and pronounces.
Body horror: elegant body horror; gross, grimy body horror; wonderfully queer body horror 'til I burst at the seams; all sorts. Twisting of the body into something other than human as a form of beauty my beloved < 3 < 3
Characters who desperately need therapy (That would be my fault)
Rich settings and worlds. Give me intricate magic systems !!! give me ecology that could be shown in a nature documentary !!!
🌔About Me 🌒
Goblin in my (late) teens. I've been writing for a whiiiile but started really getting into it about half a decade ago. I will ravenously consume all forms of creative media.
⭐Likes ⭐
Favourite colour: Purple my beloved Favourite band: Mili (I'm so normal about them) Favourite genre/s: Gothic lit, Fantasy, Horror romance, whimsical fairies Fav insect: Moths/Butterflies
Stats:
Creative writing college student

Purple hair (Not beating the stereotype allegations)
WIPs
[Note: I am very bad at deciding on WIP names]
Prisma
My surreal fantasy WIP comprised of a collection of different stories linked by a unifying setting.
Colour-Coded to the max. Each central story focuses on a character assigned a colour, differing in tone, POV, and focus. Main three are purple, blue, and red.
Literal becomes figurative, and figurative literal
Charms and incantations of old swirl in from afar, weaving our hands together with something much deeper than flesh – a curious sentiment oozing from the recesses of Damsel’s cloak as the feeling of moss and stone wove through my veins; cold and refreshing.
◉
‘What absurdity’, The Arbiter would think to himself. After all, those carmine red eyes of his delve into the primaeval madness: in their muddy depths lies the shivering madness - Fear. From fear is the knowledge wrenched from uncertainty and bloodshot eyes. Dread is the light; tugging on world-weary watchers.
Sort of portal fantasy, sort of not. The stories in this WIP span across many eras and places, yet often find themselves connecting and mingling. Incredibly queer.
Main characters:
MC of Red, Jack Pronouns: He/Him Bnuuy ass trans Victorian boy. Pasty and WILL combust in the sun. Autism creature. He gets a himbo bf and sick asf t-surgery scars as a treat < 3 Character Playlist
MC of Blue, Hel Pronouns: Any/All seemingly innocent girl but remove the innocent and girl part. Kind of an eldritch horror after a character arc but like, that's the good ending. So old surnames weren't a thing in the era they're from. Character Playlist
MC of Purple, Dorothea Pronouns: She/They Gatekeep, Gaslight, Girlboss. Autistic adhd precocious mess who WILL make it your problem. Genuinely manipulative but has great hair so it's fine. Character Playlist
Other notable mentions
[Note: I will elaborate on all of these later]
Witch WIP
My beloved blorbos < 3 Once I figure out how to frame and present it in a more refined way I like I shall be posting about this.
Personal & Cultural struggle within a fantasy context | Disability & Identity as a main theme | Aroace protagonist and Queerplatonic relationship | Magic inspired by folklore and myth | Found family
Low Fantasy setting in a somewhat alternate earth
Sprawling magic system
Conventional fantasy groups but with a spin: revamping those vibes
Witches aren't just funny flying women but genuinely inhuman creatures with spicy shit going on
Demons and angels but: demon is the colloquial term for a class of magical beasts characterised by dense essence, not like hell demons. Angels are living algorithms born from patterns and don't have an actual association to any gods.
MC Playlists:
Branwen | Ingram
Five Steps From Hell
Biblically Accurate Angelic-Flavoured paranormal apocalypse
Autistic MC
More horror oriented than action
Lots of vibes.
MC becoming something not very human, but they're more worried that they aren't worried too much about it
I've got some dastardly plans for this one. Vibes and atmosphere whilst the world falls apart and neurodivergence is a great combo.
Writeblr Intro
Hello! I'm Anya. She/her, English major, queer WOC. I'm not new to tumblr but this account sure is! I've lurked on writeblr (and general tumblr) for a bit and my original account went from a budding writeblr to a general account so I'm here to try again, lol. I'd love to make some writing friends, so if you're interested I'd be happy to hear it!
I predominantly write fantasy, though I like to dabble in a bit of everything because I don't understand restraint lmao. You'll never see me write realistic fiction though. I'm simply incapable. All of my writing must have some level of magic/supernatural elements in it, or it's not mine! I've been trying to get back into reading and writing more consistently, and actually WRITING instead of just thinking about writing or obsessively outlining and planning.
I tend to bounce around on WIPs so I have way too many. But my main focus at the moment is Traveling Bards (working title), a portal fantasy/isekai comedy about three sisters causing chaos in a fantasy medieval kingdom. I'll be posting a dedicated intro post to that and other WIPs soon so please follow or just check in on my blog if you're interested!
Would love to have some fellow writing buddies, whether that's for motivation, sharing advice, critiques, or just commiserating together!
Writeblr Intro! 🌷
Hello everyone! I'm Faye (she/her). I'm a 26-year-old office worker who loves hiking, TTRPGs, cats, and writing! It's been a hot minute since I've used Tumblr, but I'm willing to give it another try since there's such a wonderful, thriving writing community here!
I've had time to start fleshing out a few of my story ideas recently, and I hope to publish both novels and serialized web novels!
My preferred genres are definitely fantasy and horror, but I'm also a fan of sci-fi. I'm also a huge sucker for found family, magic with consequences, defying fate, and bittersweet victories.
I'm totally open to ask and tag games! I'm here to meet cool people with cool projects and maybe learn a thing or two along the way, so please force me to interact! 😊
My project list is under the cut! (Some of them don't have actual titles yet because I'm bad at naming things, whoops)
dragonshard
a high fantasy story featuring cosmic horror space dragons, soul-devouring magic, funky little creatures, experimental potion brewing, ride-or-die friendships (after they get past the initial paranoia), and the inevitability of change.
hollow worlds
a science fantasy story featuring looking into the void and the void looking back, planetary arts and crafts, sentient magic, discovering self-worth, and fighting the government.
the eye of the abyss
a gaslamp fantasy story featuring portals to hell, spooky specters, psychic warriors, soft lesbians, gay panic, reincarnated villains, and destroying the world for the sake of love.
echoes of our dark demise
a high fantasy story featuring time travel (kind of???), surprise fatherhood, political intrigue, chosen ones and fated villains, badass siblings, angelic/demonic analogous forces, and a band of mercenaries just trying their best.
INTRODUCTION
hello! my name is erin (he/they) and i'm a 23 year old neurodivergent and queer writer. i've been floating around tumblr for years now, but after a lengthy hiatus, i felt the urge to return once more. ever the occasional writer, snippets of my writing will remain elusive for now, though i'm not one to turn down an opportunity to ramble about my worlds and ocs.
this writerblr is both ask and tag game friendly. just know that i can be slow to respond most days (i'm working with a low social battery and a general lack of spoons), so please be patient with me.
NAVIGATION
you may find a list of all my wips here; every single one includes queer characters, and I'm rather fond of writing fantasy stories with found families, enemies to lovers, and/or tragedies (sorry not sorry).

answered asks
I have finally decided to have a fixed theme for my blog. For the foreseeable future, and whenever I feel like it, I shall post updates and quotes from the books I am writing. Currently there is only one book being made, but if people like it, two sequels are already planned out. The book I’m working on is a fantasy novel called Alterra: The Fall of Lord Valthoraxe.
The entire reason I named my account Valthoraxe was to discuss, and improve on my book, but I got distracted very quickly by a combination of adhd, school, and memes. I’m about halfway done with my book, sitting at nearly 45 thousand words currently. I haven’t found much time to work on it recently, but I’m getting back into it. Preemptive warning, this book is not meant for kids. There is absolutely no actual sexually explicit content in the book, but there are moments of extreme violent brutality, as well as occasional depictions of abuse, cross-species racism, swearing, and child death. If you are uncomfortable with any of the above, this book is not for you.
I shall keep the particularly violent and spoiler heavy parts out of this blog until the book it fully complete. Criticism and suggestions are always appreciated. I will attempt to post an update at least once a week, if I ever forget, just scream at me, I keep notifications on. I shall leave you with the first quote of this blog, the very first scene past the starting prologue.
“Our story begins with two young heroes named Max and Lilly, twins that shall venture out on a quest to right as many wrongs as possible, starting with the biggest of all…”
Welcome to Alterra
Alterra is a fantasy / sci-fi novel I’ve been working on for about 3 years. This post is meant to organize all of the world building info I have and will post on my blog. I hope you will enjoy this world as much as I do.

writeblr intro
Greetings and salutations, everyone! I’ve kinda been lurking in the community for a little while and just finally decided to come out the shadows! Guess I should get to the introduction, huh?
about me
my name’s (allegedly) osana but it’s not like i was there when my birth certificate was being authenticated so who really knows?
i’m 18 and therefore legally an adult but please don’t expect me to be that mature that’s not really how i roll fam
i like to read and write particularly fantasy but i do branch off often enough
i’m a hufflepuff and that’s not necessarily relevant but i had to show my house some love (let’s go badgers!)
i (re-)made this blog mostly because the thing i struggle with most when writing is staying committed and i hoped that surrounding myself with other motivated creators would encourage me to keep writing
my current projects (under the cut)
Hollow Origins series
Genre: YA/NA Fantasy
Trigger Warning: blood & violence, more to be added
This is my main wip. It’s currently in the early outlining stages and I plan for it to be a trilogy but plans are for people the universe likes. It follows Akira, a very curious girl who’s aversion to sweets, supernatural heritage, and inability to stay put leads her to rediscovering a world that, for her sake, was better left alone.
In short, it’s kind of like the unasked for love child of TLoTR, Charmed, and OUAT.
“what you know isn’t real and what you don’t is a nightmare.”
The Lotus Eaters’ Guide to Freedom
Genre: YA Fiction
Trigger Warning: vulgar language, reference/depiction of “drug” use and addiction, more to be added
Synopsis: Time waits for no Soul and Life goes on whether one likes it or not. High school seniors: Mara, Asra, Damien, and Jae know this all too well. With the Future approaching too quick for comfort these four teens stumble upon the answer to all their prayers: the Lotus Flower.
Basically, these four teens, all with problems of their own, find an easy escape in a glowing flower that turns out to be more trouble than it’s worth in the end.
Inspired by the tale of Odysseus and the Lotus Eaters.
It’s technically a stand alone, although I (might) plan to expand it into a series of loosely connected stories.
Pinterest Page
“The issue here isn’t that I tricked you! No… No! The issue here is I told you the Lotus Flower was back and you all came running like moths to a flame. Tell me why that is! Huh?”
that concludes my little intro. if you wanna talk or tell me about your own wip, i’d love to hear about it as i’m always looking for new friends and motivation. if you’re shy and just wanna tag me in your wip, i’m fine with that too! i can’t promise you me reblogging will do you any good in exposure but i can promise i’ll bring the positivity!
so uh reblog so i can check you out too!
Bye! Thanks!
