What a wonderful month it's been! My only regret is not discovering this community sooner. My writing skills have come a long way this season and I'm so thankful for your part in that!
I've got my morning coffee beside me and I'm excitedly working my way through my notifications. I expect it will take me a week or so to read through everything and pick my favourites. In the mean time, here are a few of my SC articles I'm particularly proud of.
I've grown so fond of this subplot it might end up with its own novella, or even novel. A story of (failed) inter-species diplomacy in an exotic new world.
I largely write in an encyclopedic style, so it's fun to write in prose. This story really flowered from the initial concept, and I even got a bit misty-eyed writing the last bit. I now cherish this story greatly.
I tried to capture a feeling of grandiosity and deep history here, and I'm proud of the result. Give the song a listen and see how it feels with the ambience!
One of the major goals of my setting is to explore myths & gods in their humble origins, using the styles of magic realism and metarealism. The origin story of my demigod The Skull Knight is, I feel, a successful attempt.
A more thorough exploration of my setting's Early First Age, when the plane first began to be colonized by outsiders. The exploration of colonialism and its effects is another one of my interests.
Anyway, time to get reading. I hope you enjoy your own reading week(s)! ~ Alan
