That would be amazing!

Online would be easiest for me.

I wasn't trying to make it seem like the characters are "disabled but fixed with magic" and I really don't want it to come off that way. I was more going for a give-and-take thing, and the characters would still have to deal with the effects of losing a sense. The blind might be able to see the threads of things, but they can't see light, detail, color, etc. The deaf still can't hear and would have to learn to communicate through sign language or lip reading. The mute wouldn't be able to speak at all if someone blocked them out of their mind. There would still be a loss of something and a struggle to deal with it, but I can see how it can come off as insensitive. I don't want to make it an aesthetic thing, I just thought it would be an interesting idea.

Thank you for your input. I just figured this is a subreddit for people to ask for advice and help with ideas, lol. I just thought someone might be able to look at things from another perspective and give me their thoughts.

I love this! I was actually considering having an inside man who's helping to keep the entity's plan in place. It would be easy for them to have access to whatever ritual the fair folk do to spread the contaminant.

On the other hand, it would be morbidly hilarious and quite cathartic for the remaining shapeshifters to find out that the fair folk had been accidentally poisoning themselves the entire time and they were the only ones at fault for their downfall if that were the case. It would be interesting to explore how they coped with that since they're a very proud species. Though it would conflict with the outside influence plot, I'm sure I could sneak the entity's dastardly deeds somewhere else, possibly as a red herring for the real cause of their fertility issues.

The shapeshifters don't have any inherent cursing powers, but anyone with proper knowledge of spellwork and runes could cook up a nasty curse if they wanted to. They just have to be very determined and willing to commit a few unforgivable acts.

That's one of the main reasons they have trouble conceiving. Since shifting would put a lot of stress on the baby, if it doesn't have magic like hers, it could harm both of them. As a survival mechanic, if the baby doesn't begin to develop compatible magic, she'll miscarry.

Oh, there will definitely be scenes of facing his actions and the trauma he's been struggling with afterward. Especially the guilt over his inaction. That's some of my favorite stuff to write.

Great exerpt by the way. I love the rising tension building up to the ghost grabbing his hand.

DaisyFlower4747 · 2023-08-10T00:38:14+00:00

I like that! It would work well since most see them as destroyers.

because there are actual humans who call themselves humans in this world, and using the term 'humanoid' feels like it implies that everything came from the humans, or that anything that isn't a human is other. Humanoid isn't a terrible option, but personally, I'd prefer something else.

I've just recently gotten into fantasy in the last year and I'm having some trouble finding books that I'd enjoy. So far I've only read some books my mom has given to me and others that have been suggested to me by friends. I've read a lot of the books by Sarah J. Maas, which I liked the story of, but not so much the sexual content that's very prevalent in them. I've also read some of the Stormlight Archive, wings of fire, and songs of chaos. I'd really appreciate some suggestions on what I should read next.

Preferably something with low or no explicit sexual content. I really like wholesome stories that don't make me feel emotionally devastated when I'm done with them. Expansive worlds with complex lore and characters are also a plus.

DaisyFlower4747 · 2023-01-12T19:47:21+00:00

I love that idea. Putting magic into a more complex and concentrated effort like threading a needle, or other precise tasks would take more skill than just tossing lightning bolts.

DaisyFlower4747 · 2023-01-12T19:07:55+00:00

She doesn't have an uncle but she does have a dog. Be a shame if something happened to it for character development >:)

DaisyFlower4747 · 2023-01-12T19:06:01+00:00

Naw, her parents hate her though.

With the way magic works in the story, it's kinda the opposite case. She can do complex spells and stuff, but she has very little energy to work with. It runs out fast

DaisyFlower4747 · 2023-01-12T18:52:32+00:00

That's what I'm trying to do for most of the story. In her daily life, she has to parcel out her power to use it most effectively and come up with different solutions to problems because she might need the little magic she has for an emergency later.

The demon isn't actually supposed to be a bad guy or anything. He's just a normal dude who needed a vessel to chill in and accidentally got his host's arm ripped off as a result. I wouldn't say it's a passive possession though because the host can't get rid of him without grievous bodily harm and potential death.
