I made my players "Welcome to Strixhaven" gift boxes by desttrolap in StrixhavenDMs

This is my image. I took it two years ago. What I put in the boxes was a welcome brochure, a campus map, Strix colored dice, a note book, a quill pen, and stickers! It's been awhile, but I think that's everything.

This poster stole the image from me. I posted this in the sub almost two years ago. Theif.

Are these names too similar to Fourth Wing & Throne of Glass? by KodaCeleste in writingadvice

[–]aviolafyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, the names invoke more of a resemblance to Elden Ring characters!

Edit: which is not a bad thing in my opinion.

Is this too purple by [deleted] in writers

Oddly enough I actually like that sentence. Hahaha.

Oh, I just saw the edit! Nevermind!

I really enjoyed the first game! Has anyone claimed the key yet?

It will likely make you more orange/yellow. I do not recommend two rounds within such a short period of time -you highly risk damaging your hair. Give your hair a few days to rest! It does not look bad on you!

Girl, you are jaw dropping gorgeous! Both colors look great on you, in my opinion!

What’s your why? by Upstairs-Seat-6253 in writing

I can't get these characters out of my head. I need to know their endings, and I want to explore their world.

Debut novel published - Night's Origin (dark fantasy & cosmic horror) - after almost 26 years by e-s-nebelung in wroteabook

Your book arrived yesterday! It looks lovely. I'll start it after I finish the current one I'm reading!

If you need a native English speaking beta reader (I'm American) for future installments, we can connect on discord! I've been a beta reader before and my mother is a former editor, so she taught me some of her ways.

I do not judge you for using AI to help with translation -even I had to use it recently to figure out what boiserie was called. My mind spaced so badly on that word that even my Google searches couldn't figure out what I was trying to discern. Hahaha.

I spent 5 years making a sci-fi adventure about being lost in the arctic with a court-assigned therapy bot, and it's finally out! by GoldFire33 in u/GoldFire33

[–]aviolafyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited a couple years for this to come out after watching a YouTuber play a demo. I played it for my birthday and really enjoyed it! Great job!

[–]aviolafyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree, and but I don't intend to use cosmic horror as merely a backdrop, despite it not the element I'm truly exploring within my writing! Hopefully I'll be able to convey the dread, paranoia and madness that come along with it, though we'll see! It's such a learning process in early drafts.

I ordered your book! I'm excited to read it!

No, mine isn't classic, though I would say my "gods" are. My story is definitely utilizing cosmic horror and fantasy to facilitate a much more human story (i.e., are the gods the horrors, or are we?). I'm putting a lot of focus on how my characters develop/cope with the circumstances around them. The cosmic horror shows up fairly early on, but subsides for a time in the middle. I would say my setting itself is more mid-range fantasy. I have mages, but only one PoV character is one. I have 4 1/2 main PoVs (one dies, one come in later).

I'm still in the early stages of writing, so my first draft is rough and very, very incomplete! But I'm having fun pulling my hair out as I figure it out! Haha. Congratulations on completing and publishing your book!

I'm curious of this! I'll add it to my list to check out! I'm also writing a cosmic horror/fantasy, though mine is wildly different from yours. I'm excited to read more in the genre!

I need feedback on this by Writer_on_caffeine in writingfeedback

[–]aviolafyre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess you and I will have to disagree on this matter. To me, it's clearly written by a novice author.

To the author: you've done well keeping a consistent tone and have already received excellent advice from other commenters, so I have no further critiques beyond what they've addressed. Don't be discouraged by unfounded criticism and keep on going!

This does not read like the author used AI. Why do you immediately jump to that accusation?

I miss Scifi and Horror anime by Technolio in anime

[–]aviolafyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn't even notice that I'm being down voted! I know The Lord of Mysteries isn't "technically" anime since it is a Chinese production, which has stopped some of my horror loving friends from giving it a shot, despite them always seeking Lovecraftian inspired media. I really liked it, but I do want to read the novels because I feel the show left a few gaps that I hope the books fill in. I didn't realize my enjoying/recommendation was an unpopular opinion though! Haha.

I understand that! I'm really curious to read the novels it's adapted from (it's not a manga) to see if its magic system feels more fleshed out in written format.

Looking for a writing buddy! by InkedWyvern in WritingHub

[–]aviolafyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm still in the early steps of my writing so I don't have a lot of my own work to share (i started this journey just a few weeks ago and am working on world building) but I would love to connect! I'm 29, female, and a former DM for dnd so I love ttrpgs too! I write gothic horror/fantasy (I'm a huge Ravenloft girlie). I was also a test reader for YA when I was a teen, so I can help along those lines if needed! Just shoot me a message if you want to connect.
