Hello and welcome! :)

Yeah, lemme tell you I didn't MEAN to make this story heavy on the gender and romance. When I started my zero, I thought I was writing a 12th century noir with ghosts! 🤔 Whoops my hand slipped. 😂

Hello and welcome! :)

Pretty sure you have to have a server in common or added as a friend to DM (I have like 3 groups I do discord in lol so forgive if wrong) so I've sent you an friend request. My handle there is the same: ixris.

You don't have to WRITE a subgenre to offer feedback on pacing and wording and stuff like that. :) I'm here for all the sword clattering and dragon questing and orc smashing, I just also write people with the same gender smooching while I'm at it. ;) If you're cool with sometimes hearing about...

I admit I struggle with audio processing so I'd need to have read-along materials, but I'd potentially be interested in a set-up like this depending on when it would meet, run, etc. So I would then have to ask what time zone you're in? I'm east coast US, usually -5 GMT iirc. If you're...

I'm shocked I haven't heard of this previously, but now I need to know everything. Thanks for the link!

The writing group I'm active in right now is on discord, and mostly we meet early mornings 3 days a week to just get some words written and spitball ideas at each other. We don't have a really strong genre focus, but I'd be happy to be part of a second group either on discord or other possible...

Oooh gay romantasy - I'm always here for queer content. 🤩 Also love this twist on a traditional colonization story - intrigued! I hang out closer to the horror side of things, so my current project is a queer dark fantasy centering on a disabled nonbinary exorcist who gets roped into marriage...

Hello and welcome! :)

Hello! Big 4 has been a goal of mine for literal years, and I've been writing towards it. I know tradpub isn't the only valid form of storytelling, but it's what I personally have been chasing. What do you generally write? Do you have a current project or pitch?

It's unlikely in this context, though, since xenomorph (also often shortened to xenos) is common in several scifi settings, not least of which the Aliens fandom and the BBC series Hyperdrive. In this context, it seems more like a generic term that is used in a highly specific context. It would...

Hello and welcome!

Endings are my worst nightmare. I used to never end things, and as a result, my endings now are awful. I'm so bad at them. I can set-up a conflict, sail through build-up and release of tension. I can A and B plot until the cows come home. But that final conflict and resolution ... woof. The...

Be kind to you and feel better soon! The writing will be there when you're yourself again. It's nearly impossible to get anything done while you're feeling bad, but it's even harder when you're being rough on yourself for something outside your control. 💪 Hang in there! (Also as someone who...
