They&#39;re one of my favorite settings. The same could be said for &#34;gothic castles&#34; as well, especially in #WingsOfQuietLonging. As for &#34;taverns,&#34; they also feature heavily in my work. You&#39;ll find them often in stories such as #TheScarletMirror, #TheCityOfOpulence, and #WingsOfQuietLonging. The one thing I&#39;ve never written about before, however, is &#34;abandoned asylums&#34; and all their horrifying spooky-ness. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon 2026-09-17T15:28:34Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgtf5cl0g8ye0zp753azn3vge2wrfd3pnz82p2dg9vxnpjsvwa2mczyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qs3snhh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs20k2zwgp3tk5ate2pgdwnz8azqcp4hs5sn0t4cuqlthsgl04tqwcjtt2et'>nevent1q…t2et</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#ScribesAndMakers 8/26: Describe how it feels to be &#34;locked in&#34; to your work.<br/><br/>It&#39;s the best feeling in the world.

No writers are better than others, not in any way. We&#39;re all just writers, published or unpublished, and I&#39;m sitting here saying this as someone who has actually published their work. It doesn&#39;t matter. If you write, you&#39;re a writer. Period, end of. No such thing as a blunderer, bumbler, non-professional (or amateur, even) writer, just because it&#39;s for fun or unpublished. Again, you&#39;re a writer. Whether it&#39;s a hobby or you&#39;re making money from it, whether you write fun fanfiction or original work, yeah, you&#39;re still a writer. It&#39;s an even playing field, and everyone should be considered equals and treated as such. <br/><br/>Sorry. Thanks for hearing me out. Maybe one day I&#39;ll go more in depth about this. But if there&#39;s one thing about the #WritingCommunity here it&#39;s this: 98% of the writers on Masto are wonderful, lovely to chat with, as friendly as could be, and very talented. They&#39;re my friends. The other 2% are awful, conceited, snobbish, holier than thou, and need a reality check. Spread more love. Everyone deserves it, and so do you. You get what you give. 2025-11-13T00:30:35Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszkuujst4xe7vh524rpe9a684872fhhfn9xltcuzhgc6jtvuvws4gzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qjvass9 Everyone from the writing community should go check out my friend&#39;s new book, which takes place after The Xanadu Affair.

I love horror.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a toss-up between these two beauties. Read Drood, seriously.<br/><br/>I&#39;ll leave you with this: &#34;Drood&#34; is a novel that delves into the last five years of Charles Dickens&#39; life, focusing on his obsession with a figure named Drood. The novel is narrated by Wilkie Collins, Dickens&#39; friend and fellow author, and it intertwines Dickens&#39; personal and literary struggles with his obsession. The narrative is complex, blending fiction with biographical facts and exploring themes of obsession, jealousy, and the darker aspects of human nature. The book has been praised for its imaginative storytelling and Simmons&#39; ability to weave historical details into a compelling narrative. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #Horror #CharlesDickens #DanSimmons #MaryShelley #Frankenstein #Drood<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/436/307/849/174/811/original/6f08babddbc35e5a.jpg"> <br/> 2025-10-25T18:54:47Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdzxr6rnlp8lran5a2reuuy6s0x6vttjuexfgkuavm6dlnjku6x5qzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369ql25jpw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgnctdus8qjs4z64000z6m66m40fu0r7tft98nqzcednkmturkpsqe94l28'>nevent1q…4l28</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We&#39;re back on schedule.

During the day, of course, he&#39;s asleep. <br/><br/>#WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Romantasy #Fantasy #Vampires #Werewolves #Ghosts #Romance #Victorian #WritingCommunity #Worldbuilding #AmWriting 2025-10-14T02:46:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqakxktcq9mghmkmewceqxxmwr3saa3g80hv5vc6a3ea4eehpla3qzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369q3aep30 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxpkn6s9lvq84s7ydt5hzreajjdjjw88y8pdzljunj4qhz0ydzpmq3xej6q'>nevent1q…ej6q</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We&#39;re on schedule.

We&#39;re talking about Scotland in the 1890s here. There&#39;s a plethora of ideas to be found, religious or otherwise. It&#39;s a place rich with mythology and lore, but of course you also have Christians and Catholics in the area as well.<br/><br/>In this story, there is no &#34;God&#34; or anything equivalent. It simply doesn&#39;t exist. We don&#39;t actually know where anyone goes after they die, and I enjoy the mystery of it. The readers don&#39;t have to know everything. We only know that if vampires are killed, they don&#39;t go to &#34;Hell&#34; because it doesn&#39;t exist. They remain in the world, drifting around, and become ghosts. Vampires, werewolves, and other creatures know better. They&#39;re entirely atheistic, and they certainly don&#39;t pretend to believe in Catholicism or Christianity in order to fit in. If anything, mortals amuse them.<br/><br/>#WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Vampires #Werewolves #Ghosts #Romance #Victorian #WritingCommunity #Worldbuilding #AmWriting 2025-10-11T02:21:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswnk29q8k4uysj40f8d0et3n6up2dwa9l5uvffaway4y0e28paxnczyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qty2hvf #ScribesAndMakers 10.10 — Shameless self-promotion day.

If you haven’t, is it something you would be interested in doing someday?<br/><br/>Oh, I&#39;ve written a lot of horror throughout the years. Usually, there&#39;s a mix of genres in the stories I&#39;m writing. Horror and Romance or Horror and Dark Romance are my favorites. In fact, I&#39;m currently working on a Horror-esque story. It&#39;s called &#34;Wings of Quiet Longing,&#34; and I&#39;ve been posting about it in the different writing prompt tags. <br/><br/>I *love* horror, whether it&#39;s a side-genre or the main one. I&#39;m a horror aficionado and always have been, either for reading *or* writing. It doesn&#39;t matter. Films, too. I can&#39;t leave those out.<br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #Worldbuilding #AmWriting 2025-10-07T23:52:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswgvc2ye3gzv6j9z6cv09gm2yx7x4dnssmpyw9njxltzwzc45828gzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qfemg24 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx9k4jj0dkfnd3v0xa6329n0p607j2kl9gyyqnqk599cn5cklk7xstyvhg9'>nevent1q…vhg9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Happy Tuesday!

The changing of the leaves, the scents in the air, and the dying of greenery in the area. Scotland is *beautiful* around this time of year, and Hati is a wolf, meaning that she has acute senses and absolutely adores the scents around her during this particular time of year. Fires in the hearths, smoke around, the scent of the Earth after a recent rainfall, the smell of tea leaves wafting through one&#39;s slightly ajar window, etc. She can smell *everything* and more. It makes her feel lighter inside, somehow. <br/><br/>#WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Vampires #Werewolves #Ghosts #Romance #Victorian #WritingCommunity #Worldbuilding #AmWriting 2025-10-07T00:08:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspwfqvmvegrxtz78dlzqpq8z4x25r6pzqe75tcmyyqd50ecumkvlczyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qncecsu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw4v8klzfh0sd7yy2cps3azaw0zu7hd3l2cgt88tlcxtn5en3xgsgnw6tcu'>nevent1q…6tcu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 805 — Can you tell us about a “nightmare” of your MC’s that came true?<br/><br/>Credit: <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub17eecqy264pgfj0euu3h9284jug3836kzyr257uxyt44sgvywf2dsj9uyua" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Piglet</span> (<span class="italic">npub17ee…uyua</span>)</a></span> (AKA my girlfriend!) <br/><br/>One thing comes to mind. It would have to be the day Alistair became a vampire. As a younger man, he always pondered a list of things that were worse than death itself. There was war all around, and the entire time period was terrifying. If he could have made the choice for himself, it would have been death. It wouldn&#39;t have been particularly peaceful, considering what he was dealing with at the time, but he would have found his peace at last. The man who turned him never gave him that option. Isma was selfish, and he wanted a companion.<br/><br/>It was a nightmare.

Let&#39;s just talk about fiction, though, for the sake of keeping things shorter. I adore a lot of Fantasy in its various forms: Romantasy, Sword and Sorcery (AKA Heroic Fantasy), and High or Epic Fantasy. I love SFF, Science Fiction, Space Operas, Cyberpunk tales, Horror, Gothic Romance, Romance in different genres, Paranormal Romance, Thrillers and Mysteries, and some modern things as well. Honestly, I read whatever I can get my hands on. I love a little bit of everything.<br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity 2025-10-01T02:56:47Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdlvyr2u0hr5fh0ulse9drnm86n8gqp8dncg9lxayy6vjx0ukk4hgzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369q7mvys7 So, we made it. #WingsOfQuietLonging has arrived! 🤍 <br/><br/>First off, this story has absolutely nothing to do with Doctor Who, but you have to be sneaky on AO3 these days and tag things differently. They frown upon original stories or novels, so I was being clever with this one.<br/><br/>PS, this story was also written for <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1f69laz6kh2fdh05uupkrdyzxltj5vkrsf2vyeh2pu434vhx0lnkscpxppw" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Codex Arcene 🎸✨</span> (<span class="italic">npub1f69…xppw</span>)</a></span>.<br/><br/>⸻<br/><br/>In the gloomy streets of Victorian London, a vampire is moonlighting as a vigilante. They seem to be protecting the innocent and punishing the corrupt under the cover of night. But why, and what is it all for?<br/><br/>This is a story of two vampires, former lovers, and the one that was sired. Welcome in Lord Alistair MacKay, the sole owner of Dorcha Castle and a writer and artist in his spare time, his former lover who goes by the name of Fenella, and the one and only man Alistair ever turned, Duncan. The latter is ruthless, and so they bid him farewell a half-century ago, but he’s decided to return. Again, the only question worth asking is why?<br/><br/>Chapter 1: <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/71555861/chapters/186282006">https://archiveofourown.org/works/71555861/chapters/186282006</a><br/><br/>Also here: <a href="https://www.tumblr.com/agoodtuckering/796408723942834176/wings-of-quiet-longing-chapter-1?source=share">https://www.tumblr.com/agoodtuckering/796408723942834176/wings-of-quiet-longing-chapter-1?source=share</a><br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub172x4h0vtn0mhsakpugx5dnpxssu8pk982fuaclwwwdaa5wadfuqsd5jfxl" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>River Crow</span> (<span class="italic">npub172x…jfxl</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub10ldvvpv4avftucdx6tk0jljhmqlmwyu8qgwsnegn0l5a0dw6hl7s83ktz0" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Doctor Monkey</span> (<span class="italic">npub10ld…ktz0</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1u4nmhgeqhxp5at8wscgmqq8rhgtuq4q7qvy5j97a5gtwa9xadyzsf5l4pz" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Doctor Wanderer 🐝✒</span> (<span class="italic">npub1u4n…l4pz</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1gwhpu53d8h6ateqgu65dl7kcx8zeqf62e0uxdhvsuwg5gpyyr99q3rs4vk" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>QuokkaMocha 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸</span> (<span class="italic">npub1gwh…s4vk</span>)</a></span> [@Luna_Catriona](<a href="https://mindly.social/@Luna_Catriona">https://mindly.social/@Luna_Catriona</a> ) <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub15rtjhnhf9px0mz8cku0hkjxa5cpfywud8hra8g27g57ner9vrd2qktn55l" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Hannah Steenbock</span> (<span class="italic">npub15rt…n55l</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1f6gqu33urdyvjkq9dfr630a5zngmjyee2ap5gwg3vwyh9wyhp6psutkh7u" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Paul - Antifa.

If you were to ask any of the gang members (who happen to be SCs in this story), they would all have the same answer as well. They care. They&#39;ll do anything to help Alexios keep them safe. Dante wants everyone to be healthy and whole. That&#39;s what matters.<br/><br/>#LGBT #LGBTQIA #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #Cyberpunk #SFF #ScienceFiction #Romance #Worldbuilding #AmWriting #WritingCommunity 2025-08-09T02:45:23Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0h34snjktqw46f4gkt3vym79d69dc7fegt5f86lrzj57acjf4n7szyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qvsxdk4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstfwa6vx8eu5n3c7v0f40sknpsshue8yge0eg9jl5vn0fn5tlehnqalmejv'>nevent1q…mejv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It really was. 😋 2025-08-06T18:29:01Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsts97gxpdwtghsyz4sdcs6377s0tqwrqcpay8ztkvcjd8mvm0lvjszyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qvw2qk6 Coffee time! ☕<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/114/983/135/452/046/432/original/10c842e6a6a76985.jpg"> <br/> 2025-08-06T18:03:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszcx8u4marsajtycp79egk26nyef7s3m0daept7y0j66tj0d9pqzgzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369q2ly5ey In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqudjygx3fxcjtmz7wc38u9hpug4x9r4pr6ddateth57yxc7w0yqcr8xszm'>nevent1q…xszm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Happy last day of month!

How couldn&#39;t he be? He runs an amazing clinic. When it comes to his personal life, though, he feels as though as he&#39;s rather lacking in most areas. It never outwardly shows, but he&#39;s insecure about himself in general. Hell, he couldn&#39;t even tell the woman he loved how he felt. He STILL loves her, and he&#39;s convinced that he&#39;ll be taking this secret to the grave. His abilities (workwise) he&#39;s fine with. His appearance is also something he&#39;s okay with. (He&#39;s good-looking.) His romantic entanglements, however, are a different story.<br/><br/>I wrote this tonight to go along with the prompt. <br/><br/>⬇️ <br/><br/>&#34;Oh, right. Insecurity,&#34; Dante said, eyeing Junk rather skeptically. &#34;Individuals struggling with insecurity might be prone to anxiety, self-criticism, or comparison to others and will struggle to assert themselves or make decisions. Funny... I&#39;m not sure if that describes you, choom. You&#39;re just fine. What are you so worried about, eh?&#34;<br/><br/>Junk chuckled. &#34;Wasn&#39;t asking for me, but thanks.&#34; <br/><br/>The doc&#39;s eyebrows rose. &#34;I&#39;m sorry? Who were you asking for then?&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;You, choom. You. Tell her how you f*ckin&#39; feel before it&#39;s too late. This biz is too dangerous. I have eyes, you know. Even if I&#39;m the only one who can tell... It&#39;s /obvious/ to me.

(It doesn’t matter what story it’s from.)<br/><br/>I thought this would be a fun prompt for everyone. It&#39;s an opportunity to make new friends and meet new readers. I&#39;ll share two things here, but they&#39;re actually from things related to The Witcher, not my own original work. Writing is writing, after all. I was really happy with the way they turned out. I do love writing a fun fight scene or something rather angsty. I wanted to choose something easier and lighter than my original stories for once. <br/><br/>1.) The first screenshot is from an ongoing story about Orianna and Regis. The story takes place directly after Blood and Wine ends.

The second screenshot is from another story of mine, this one revolving around Regis and Geralt, and it takes place a year or so after the events of Blood and Wine.

FYI: I do a new one every 50 posts, just so it&#39;s easier to look back at the prompts.) <br/><br/>Dante chose not to answer a call one night from a number he didn&#39;t recognize. It was Noona, and she desperately needed his help. If only he&#39;d answered, things might have turned out differently. She wasn&#39;t murdered, but she was seriously injured and found a way to escape from rival gang members. While she forgave Dante, of course, he never quite forgave himself or let it go. He hates himself for it, always will, and he wishes he could forget what happened that following morning. She was rushed to his clinic—Dante&#39;s Inferno—and he knees nearly gave out at the sight that awaited him. /He/ was the one to operate on her and he saved her life.<br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #Cyberpunk #SFF #ScienceFiction #Romance #Worldbuilding #AmWriting #LGBT #LGBTQIA 2025-06-15T02:55:30Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszma0s2c7l58vv5xrr69wykc2e0auvx6g9ax6jr95lexyrn3qtfpszyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369q3luv8l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdf7e02ytvgdr7uc789yjsg0uk6k0f6vgtv7022klvwjxaq4e829sncx2pm'>nevent1q…x2pm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>People just make no sense.

Then I&#39;ll have to hang up. They never answer calls. I&#39;m usually on hold for 6+ hours.<br/><br/>For context, as a baby, they gave my number to the wrong person (to a non-existent Carey, not me, Corey). Then the office screwed up my name and number even worse a few years ago when I went to fix it. I never even KNEW this until very recently, so it&#39;s a huge problem.

There&#39;s even a sitting room area with a television, sofas, and some gaming equipment for whenever he actually has the time for relaxation. His musical instruments are there as well.

I&#39;m capable of terrible things and yet I choose to instead do /good/ sh*t. I mean, /good/ in terms of the Midnight City but hey. I might be a gang leader but I choose to help the little people, you know? I give back when I can. As for things that I&#39;m physically capable of, in terms of fighting, yeah...

Does it factor into your WIP in any way?<br/><br/>It doesn&#39;t factor into the story, but here we go. Here&#39;s just a handful of the characters in the series.<br/><br/>FYI: Gang members and those in the criminal world tend to be on the thinner side, only because food with nutrition is more expensive and therefore harder to find (or afford). Cyberpunk works don&#39;t feature happy and peaceful worlds, after all.<br/><br/>• Dr. Death (Antagonist / Villain): He&#39;s well-toned, nice body. Everyone falls for him. (Yuck.) <br/>• Alexios (MC): He&#39;s muscular but also on the taller side (and covered in scars and cybernetic parts). <br/>• Noona (SC): She&#39;s scary and intimidating despite being thinner. No one f*cks with her.<br/>• Junk (SC): He&#39;s a bit fluffy, on the chunky side, and he&#39;s adorable for it. <br/>• Trick (SC later turned MC): He&#39;s thin and graceful. <br/>• Dante (SC): He&#39;s tall (even taller than Alexios) and slim. Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome in every way. He&#39;s in shape. <br/>• Cosmia (SC): Short and well-toned (especially her arms). She works out. Often. Being a bar owner isn&#39;t the only thing she does at work. She&#39;s also a bouncer of sorts. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-26T01:03:52Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqgvp9h0mqde67sm8d7jj5e79x6lgcfhdw9wzp2ppcxtpqzdtrlqqzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qkmwkuu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsprp83q53ksa73wazd9lchlsphmnf7a3425zn656qp0utd4r58t0srh6755'>nevent1q…6755</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 624 — Are there any mental health issues that run in your SC’s family?<br/><br/>Many complications come from bad chips and implants. It can affect the brain in the myriad of ways. Dante&#39;s family have suffered a lot in the past, and his father was one such case. The man went insane from a virus on his chip. His mother is still alive and well, though. What&#39;s more, since her husband&#39;s passing, she&#39;s done well for herself. Depression and anxiety also run in his family. Living on Citune, it&#39;s no wonder. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-25T03:19:58Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsprp83q53ksa73wazd9lchlsphmnf7a3425zn656qp0utd4r58t0szyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369q8w6znq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg497d28uqu5f3yk7fj9r8ucrxgg03xtedkqcd8mfmnzczry4uyps8z94m7'>nevent1q…94m7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 623 — In theory, what would be your SC’s weapon of choice?<br/><br/>Junk prefers knives. He has a set of cryo-blades and they freeze the poor soul who gets stabbed. It&#39;ll freeze, burn, and immediately &#34;cauterize&#34; the wound. Fantastic. <br/><br/>Dante is a lover, not a fighter. He&#39;s a doc, after all. He&#39;s ridiculous whenever he&#39;s somehow found himself in a fight, all long limbs and not a single ounce of grace in his body. He manages to stay alive, though. He&#39;s the type to choose a frying pan if it&#39;s the closest object he can find to defend himself. <br/><br/>Cosmia&#39;s a bar owner. An empty bottle works. She doesn&#39;t need a weapon, though. Her mouth is more than enough. She&#39;ll curse you on your way out of the door.

If so, what sorts of things? Do they have a preferred genre of choice? <br/><br/>Alexios reads. In his spare time, he likes to leaf through adventure stories. (Romance novels too, but that&#39;s something he&#39;ll NEVER tell another living soul, not even Junk.) During workdays, he spends time searching (and reading) the system database and combing through the warehouse archives for acquired books and other trinkets. It&#39;s all for black market clients, and it depends on whatever they want. Alexios&#39; gang sell antiques and oddities to customers willing to pay for their desired items. If there&#39;s something they don&#39;t actually have, Alexios and his gang will do everything they can to find it for them. But yes, Alexios enjoys reading in his downtime. Comic books, novels, long or short stories, etc. All from the genres I mentioned as well. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-23T00:35:18Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyv6m78dausqef7zhvw4w60gg3wahcmuh3tqjjcgs6qver2c5hzfqzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qggmm6s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs07hd77jl7hapr0teyd2pnsq48x8l00fhrs2fefwxhfvwlnzxeqpc35cku0'>nevent1q…cku0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 621 — What was the bravest moment in your MC’s life? Were they known to be courageous from then on? <br/><br/>It was the moment Alexios chose life... He escaped slavery, becoming the sole survivor of his planet being destroyed and its people turned into slaves or experiments. He survived. It was the bravest he&#39;s ever been. Since then, courage has come easily. He&#39;s a man on the run. He&#39;s a rebel, a fugitive, a crime circuit boss, a gang leader, a salesman on the black market, etc. Bravery is a must. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-22T01:51:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs07hd77jl7hapr0teyd2pnsq48x8l00fhrs2fefwxhfvwlnzxeqpczyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qf6rv3m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2trzgqg6jprwqar3pzt7ga7uka9he83vhc6clqmy2zsgjec3u9jg9w805g'>nevent1q…805g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 620 — What have you enjoyed about writing your antagonist / villain?<br/><br/>Dr. Death is a smooth motherf*cker. His lines are excellent, but I&#39;m biased. He isn&#39;t as much of a (noticeable) sleazeball as you would expect, honestly. It comes as a surprise, I&#39;m sure, with the way I talk about him. He attracts women for a reason. That&#39;s the extent of it for me, though. Everything else about him is disgusting. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-21T02:35:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2trzgqg6jprwqar3pzt7ga7uka9he83vhc6clqmy2zsgjec3u9jgzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qp0u7wq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8ys4fwzuvk87h78dj00rn3z2j6wrmqtqqpuwmxfru26up9ceu6zs7hlpmx'>nevent1q…lpmx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 619 — What type of “accent” does your MC have? Tell us about their voice. Discuss speech patterns, vocabulary, slang, or their way of speaking, if you like.<br/><br/>Sorry but as a massive wrestling fan, I just have to say... &#34;619! Booyaka, booyaka, that&#39;s my pueblo!&#34; God, I love Rey Mysterio so much. <br/><br/>Alexios Jace comes from a planet that I&#39;ve mentioned many times before called New Glasgow, where a group of people (Scottish families, obviously) left Earth as it was dying and claimed a habitable world for their own. That particular planet was destroyed by the Syndicate, and Alexios was the sole survivor. Now living on Citune, he&#39;s the only one with a voice quite like his. He has a distinctly Scottish accent, setting him apart from everyone else around. His slang is a mix of cyperpunk and Glaswegian. While he says &#34;choom&#34; like everyone else, he always throws around &#34;mate&#34; rather easily as well. That&#39;s just a quick example. I will say, on top of things, he&#39;s always a mardy, grumpy man, and he tends to grumble a lot. His voice is deeper, thick with an accent, and everyone automatically assumes he&#39;s pissed off. Go figure.<br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-20T02:23:19Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8ys4fwzuvk87h78dj00rn3z2j6wrmqtqqpuwmxfru26up9ceu6zszyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qaaxdwe In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszrsgwuzh2zy8c2zacjys8xkm4zw838yruxl4eljzmpmuzxuvwd2gj7jt2s'>nevent1q…jt2s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 618 — Is your SC prone to jealousy? How might they handle any envious feelings?<br/><br/>Dr. Arcturius &#34;Dante&#34; Cason hates when the woman he loves is shown attention from anyone. He would never say it, would never voice the words aloud, but he&#39;ll burn with jealousy as he watches on. All of this is ridiculous, of course, because he&#39;ll never tell her how he feels... Maybe one day, if he ever gets up the nerve. Until then, he&#39;ll just suffer in silence. (Also, I&#39;ve never mentioned this woman&#39;s name here. It&#39;s a big spoiler for Book 2.) <br/><br/>As for jealousy in any other way, Dante never experiences it. He&#39;s a fantastic doctor and others look up to /him/, not the other way around. &#34;Workplace jealousy&#34; never happens. Dante&#39;s Inferno is a med shop that everyone frequents. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-18T21:00:36Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszrsgwuzh2zy8c2zacjys8xkm4zw838yruxl4eljzmpmuzxuvwd2gzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369q3cf5xc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxx8979uya85nnkd9wduf5nqv0kdxh8dpmkjt7ufddlp575eu9zmgqmh0a9'>nevent1q…h0a9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 617 — Random: If you’re also an avid reader, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?<br/><br/>Oh, I&#39;ve got a few...<br/><br/>A very old price tag, an unused bandaid still in the wrapper (found that one last week), a random recipe for a cheese soufflé, a ribbon, etc. Sometimes you need to find something quickly! <br/><br/>I thought this would be a fun prompt to ask everyone. 2025-03-18T03:03:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxx8979uya85nnkd9wduf5nqv0kdxh8dpmkjt7ufddlp575eu9zmgzyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qppc3cc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdj2h6vhyjs4av45xs4g7n7he4c89d6m3yyqj4f4qnjyv347f86qc43y65l'>nevent1q…y65l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 616 — Name a bizarre and hyper-specific detail that you know about one of your characters but is completely irrelevant to the story.<br/><br/>I should have made a Marvel joke, but... <br/><br/>Junk is a Master (or Iron) Chef level cook.

Are you satisfied with it thus far?<br/><br/>I am, actually. I love creating different universes, and this one is no different. When it comes to anything cyberpunk, dystopian, and grungy, whether it&#39;s a book, game, film, television series, or a wonderfully-molded #TTRPG, heck yes—it&#39;s going to be something that I&#39;ll fall head over feels for. The entire SFF universe within this series of mine is a thing that I&#39;m falling deeper and deeper in love with the more that I write it. It&#39;s been a long time coming. This book series (and the world within it) started back in about &#39;08 or &#39;09. The result of all that hard work is more than worth it. In short, yes, I&#39;m so incredibly satisfied. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-14T03:39:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs860ah2p77534e9efcyy6lksx9hx859f389da9detp64rvgguxt5czyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369qwwpskv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvh6l6f6m8qt3fccpauc74k0lpu0cd20gqu392tdwfh5n66rrugnsex0890'>nevent1q…0890</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 612 — Has your SC ever snooped in a friend or partner’s house?<br/><br/>Junk snoops around in everybody&#39;s home or place of work, not even a gang warehouse or shop. He&#39;s subtle about it. He can&#39;t help himself. But hey, that&#39;s just how he is and we love him for it. He&#39;s silly that way. Plus, honestly, as ridiculous as it sounds, he loves learning about his friends or partners.<br/><br/>Dante, however, respects everyone&#39;s privacy and never peeks around in any homes or workspaces. Why bother?<br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-13T02:56:15Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvh6l6f6m8qt3fccpauc74k0lpu0cd20gqu392tdwfh5n66rrugnszyqvk38wp9xn829kll3e3rvlmwf50awpuarg6suwc9pzew67j5369q9zg8kd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8j2ffjqmsjmtpkqg00m2mnvncz30a3r5gq0hnx23q6fl8ta2e67s2cflrx'>nevent1q…flrx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#PennedPossibilities 611 — Have you ever been able to relate to your antagonist / villain? If the answer is yes, then how so? <br/><br/>Honestly, I can&#39;t. Not even in a single way. Dr. Death is a bastard who enjoys murdering entire civilizations on planets and using &#34;the leftovers,&#34; AKA those who somehow survived, for experiments. There&#39;s nothing to relate to there. He isn&#39;t just an antagonist. He&#39;s a true villain. <br/><br/>#WritingCommunity #TheCityOfOpulence #DigitalDystopiaSeries #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Worldbuilding 2025-03-12T03:03:22Z
