Guidelines Under the Read More

The 24 Days of Christmas Writing Challenge will officially run from December 1st to December 24th, giving participants the chance to immerse themselves in a festive creative journey. To provide a head start, participants can begin brainstorming and drafting as early as November 18th, though official entries will be accepted only during the event dates.

All submissions must include the hashtag #cc24DaysofChristmas to ensure they are recognized as part of the event. During this time, there will be no regular Creators Club events, allowing members to fully focus on this unique challenge.

All submissions written by followers who are not on the tag list will be featured under user: guest.

Submissions must be entirely original, as AI-generated content is strictly prohibited.

All submissions must be, at least, 100 words.

Each day, a new prompt will be shared, offering participants inspiration to create something festive and engaging. While writers are encouraged to follow the prompts in order, they may use them as flexible starting points for their work.

You do not need to use all the prompts for the day. Just use as much as you need to get the juices flowing.

While there is no strict word limit, all entries should demonstrate thought and effort.

Collaborative entries are welcome, provided all collaborators adhere to the same guidelines.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send @creators-club a question.

Six Sentence Snippet Sunday!

Good day! For today’s Six Sentence Sunday—courtesy of the @creators-club —AND for Snippet Sunday—where I’m tagging @tracle0 —I’ll share a bit from the Interwoven Halloween Special!

(Psssst lemme know if you’d like to be tagged when it comes out! I’m aiming for the 31st, but it mayyyyyy be delayed by a few days 😅)

———

The two knights were on the opposite outskirts of the crowd—Kaiden on the upper levels of the city, Felix on the lower—needing to stay vigilant for any suspicious activity. A vibrantly decorated stall stood on Kaiden’s right, displaying decroative lunar runes to be sold for the low, low price of three coppers.

The knight leaned against the side of the stall, making sure to stay out of sight from the stallkeep—she didn’t want to be haggled into buying a cheap rune. ‘I—we— need to be focused,’ she thought, ‘and that doesn’t involve partaking in festivities—wait a damn minute.’

Something had caught Kaiden’s eye. She skimmed the rest of the street from her spot, only to facepalm at the sight of her partner-in-justice merrily chatting away with a woman in front of another—somehow brighter—shop.

Excerpt Expo

In lieu of this week's @creators-club event (Excerpt Expo), here is a longer snippet from Obsidian Sapphires :D

—

Alycja stormed off from their office.

How would she explain this to her parents? Did they know already? Was this some foregone conclusion from the start?

Part of her yearned to send a note to her boyfriend. His embrace would hit the spot.

Her thoughts oscillated between everything and nothing, the walk home an eternal blur.

The door creaked upon entry, as she tried to shut it without a sound.

Aromas of spice and pork flowed from the kitchen. “Alycja, is that you?”

She swallowed heat and tears. “Yes, mother, I’m back.”

“How did the talk with the meshaika go?”

She dashed upstairs before anyone else saw her, entering her room and shutting the door.

“Alycja?” A turn of the wrist and the door was locked.

She let her forehead slump against the door for a moment, sighing. Today was not a day worthy of existing.

“The meshaika giving you trouble as well?” Said a sultry voice, with the crispy tone of smoldering embers.

Alycja darted her head up. On the windowsill sat a lady with a flowing, fiery red dress, stunning blonde curls and glistening green eyes focused on her.

“Uh, who are you?” The one day she left the window open.

The lady chucked, a smile lighting up her sharp face. “The enemy of your enemy, so to speak.”

“Why are you here?” Alycja put her bag at the foot of the bed, her eyes not leaving the lady for a second.

“It seems we both have gripes with the meshaika over the exact same thing. What did they say to you?”

She went back to the door. The lady moved not a centimetre from her perch, half of her on the verge of a perilous dangle above the ground. Something about her exuded a strange warmth.

“Well…” She prayed no one was listening. “The meshaika questioned me today, giving me a hard time over what happened last night. I fear they want me banished.”

The lady’s face sank a little, betraying a touch of gentleness. “What if I was to tell you there’s more to this story? That for what you perceive there’s more behind it?”

Alycja raised a brow. “Isn’t that obvious? You’re telling me a thousands-of-years-old relic magically appearing has a story behind it? Wow, what’s next? The sky’s blue?”

“Have you ever stopped to wonder why they had it? What made them seek it?” Something flickered in Alycja’s eyes. “You’re not the only one. How would you like to be the one to uncover it? To rain revenge for all their slander and worse they will do to your name?”

“I-“ Her breath hitched. She glanced to the door behind her, and back at the lady again. “No, I can’t do this. Go serve your offers of grandeur to someone else, I’m not falling for it.”

Alycja turned her back to her, rotating the door handle. Not even her room had privacy, it seems.

“I can help prove your innocence.” She whipped her head around, her heart’s pounding breaching the silence. The handle moved not a twitch further.

“You would do what now?”

She nodded, smiling again. “Absolutely. Last night was not your fault, no matter what anyone tries to tell you. The least you deserve is another chance.”

Part of her wanted to push her out the window. “Do I want to know your price?”

“Simple.” She shrugged. “In exchange for my services, I’ll be needing the Allaitri Chalice from you.”

Happy Six Sentence Sunday!

@bardic-tales

Just a little of dialogue between my OC Esme and canon character Nik Khan

“Nik, I’m shocked,  Absolutely stunned. Did you actually make a joke? A dirty one at that?”

“Esme…”

“Am I starting to rub off on you? Finally?”

“Unfortunately, yes.”

“Nothing unfortunate about it.  I’m a delight. A simply wonderful influence.”

“You’re something, alright.”

Fun Fact Friday - Cúén cor Faélci

He got into revolutionary politics through lesbianism. As a 17 yo he had a lesbian phase so he got into lesbian poet circles, where he met all kinds of lesbians - working class, republican, revolutionary, Cabalusian separatist. He also met trans masc people and quickly realized he was a) not a woman b) not into women.

He's really good at archery, including horse archery. He won archery contests as a teenager. They have guns so archery is basically a sport of the nobles, not used in warfare. Cabalusian nobles use archery for hunting too. He's also a very good marksman with rifle.

He has conspired with his sister, who along with her husband are also Cabalusian separatists, to keep the fact that he's been infiltrating the Virénian army for several years hidden from their mother and the rest of the clan. His mother thinks he's living with his sister and studying poetry in Virén. He also hasn't told his mother he has yeeted the teet (had top surgery), and he's not sure at this point how he will do that.

He's very pretentious about poetry and literature. He's kinda pretentious in general. He hates popular literature, and especially Julie noé Maupin, who among many things (opera singer, fencer, infamously hot lesbian) is a writer, who writes very popular very fun chivalric romances, which every self-respecting pretentious literature enjoyer thinks are trashy.

He has an on-and-off affair with Aerich, the leader of the separatist group he's part of. On and off, because since he's infiltrating the army they are regularly separated for multiple months and can't have any correspondence either, since Aerich is very much a wanted enemy of the empire. Faélci has said to Aerich that he's free to have other affairs while he's away, but in reality he's stressed that Aerich will fall in love with someone else. He would not admit that under torture, because being in love is very embarrassing and being jealous on top of it is even more so.

Aerich calls him "Little Wolf" (Faénie in Cerfi) because Cúén means wolf cub in Cerfi. It makes Faélci extremely soft and weak when he does it so casually (especially when he says "my Little Wolf"). He would not admit that either under torture.

Fun Fact Friday

@creators-club, @bardic-tales

here are 5 random facts about my writing project!

my current main story is actually the result of multiple generations of ocs, as in I started by trying to write stories about some ocs, and then I gave them kids and wanted to write about the kids. and then I made those kid ocs into adult ocs and gave them their own kids, and my protagonist Morianon is one of those kids that is now an adult. I know the full backstory of both sides of his adoptive parents' families. His dad's parents were my first ever queer ocs. They're unfortunately no longer relevant to my main plot, but maybe I'll revisit them someday and write a short side story about em.

I also have more fantasy people species than are shown in my main plot, I just had to cut some of them to keep the world from feeling too complicated and crowded. I've got a third species connected to the orcs and gnomes, I've got lizard folk, I've got two types of unrelated merfolk, I even tried making kangaroo people once. I like designing people species! but they simply don't all fit in the plot, so I had to downsize.

Both of my protagonists were originally designed as elf children, but I changed my mind and Morianon ended up a bird dude while Evarin ended up a gnome. And while Morianon has had the most obvious visual changes, Evarin is the one who's had the most character changes! Morianon's backstory has been refined but not changed much, and Evarin has had a total shift in the narrative and taken a completely new role.

The Memento Morianon project was supposed to be one book but it's got such a slow and meandering plot that I was struggling to flesh it out while also keeping it shorter. So it's going to be a trilogy now, whoops! but on the other hand, coming up with the subtitles has also been fun! in order, they'll be Blood, Breath, and Bone, all of which tie into the themes and significant events that happen within each book.

I've done so much work on the worldbuilding and so much of it just won't be relevant for the narrative of any of my stories, so I'm planning on making a fully illustrated bonus book just to compile all my cool ideas. I mean, where else am I supposed to put all the fantasy biology art and extra details about the goblin revolution?

Ficback Friday

Welcome to Ficback Friday.

How to participate: Make a post recommending a fic you love from at least a year ago. Dust off the archives, dig through your AO3 history and share those old fics with newer fans who might not have seen them - and the fans who’ve been around forever and might want to revisit an old fave. This doesn't just need to be AO3. It could be right here on Tumblr, etc.

Trying to actually participate with these and this one struck me so🙏 @bardic-tales

I have actually had it in my head to rec a few Chrisker fics from WAY back that I had read this year and this is a perfect opportunity.

Please note all these are adult/explicit fics.

F*cks like a S.T.A.R. (5986 words) by Merci : This fic was written in 2007 when Y!gallery was still around and its one of my favorites. It's a pretty simple bondage/captivity scenario with Wesker forcing Chris to do exactly what he wants.

Blowing Off Steam (2016 words) by ficbear: From 2010! Just some rough locker room screwing with hatesex/throwing one another around. STARS era.

Mercenaries (2774 words) by entanglednow: Another 2010 fic. This one takes place roughly during Code Veronica era so it's got that great push/pull of Wesker and Chris being recurring enemies but still attracted to one another.

Mind the tags on all of these and the fact that they're very old but they're some of my favorite in terms of quick fun.

Tender Tuesday

Talking about Odair and how his relationships!

Odair is a closed-off person. If you think you've seen people have walls up, this young man has an entire fortress with battlements, a moat, and trenches beyond that. Nobody has seen the softer inner side of him, not even himself.

Except for an automaton in an old lab. But we'll get to that.

His relationship with Regin is incredibly complicated, he doesn't even know what to name it. Regin has been his guardian, his teacher, his father, his friend, the one person who he allowed up to the gates of his fortress but no further. He knows he can speak to Regin, seek wisdom, seek help.

But Regin also uses his blood to live. Subjugates his will with enthrallment. Regin asked a teenager to make an impossible decision ten years ago... to die in the snow or to give up his soul.

He knows Regin needs blood to survive. It's not a game Regin plays, it's just as life or death for him as it was for Odair all those years ago. But why him? Why not someone else? It runs through his head every day he sees the old vampire.

It's complicated. He doesn't know what to think of their impossibly ruinous dependency.

As for others, people like Yves, or members of Bridgewater? Odair is still locked away in his impossible fortress, a man so closed off inside it can barely see him on the outside.

But what of the automaton? What happens when it comes to life under his touch, when a force wrapped around his soul, feeding from it, leaps into its crystal chamber? What if its eyes spark, and a voice rises up from its metal confines? One that is innocent, in love with the world, seeking to know more? One that's cold metal hand caresses his cheek and, with cold empty glass eyes, sees through every crack in his walls and sees him for the first time?

What's it like, to fall in love with an angel-possessed automaton?

WIP Wednesday

I have been meaning to get back into the habit of posting WiPs as regularly as health permits, so, taking advantage of the @creators-club's WIP Wednesday to share a bit of what i'm currently working on.

And eventually I'll make more info posts about my world and characters for sure << for today, just know this character here is a bitter old vamp who needs to finally sit down and relax and that's where we're heading. But before we get there, he's gonne get even more bitter and upset with the world because no one will just let him be.

Well. Sorry sir, it's your own fault for getting yourself to the point of stress-induced exhaustion. I love you but you get on my nerves. And you're mean. Wake-up call inbound soon as I get there :3;;

---

Devon's eyes lifted to meet the intruder's gaze; a bright, wide gaze that filled at once with fright.

"What?" he snapped. "What do you want?"

He glared at the girl standing before him, shaking on her feet – one foot in particular clicking painfully in his ears. She looked so innocent, with her long brown hair braided into a ponytail that rested on her shoulder, with her wide brown eyes peering over her sliding glasses. Her youthful hands gripped tight the books she held flat against her chest.

"I—I'm sorry," she stammered, "I heard from Bromiel that you were looking for some information on mental instability, and I thought—"

"I am not mentally unstable!" He slammed the book on his lap shut.

"I—I didn't say—"

Devon shot to his feet and slammed the book onto the pile he had brought. Then, he swiped his index finger towards her. "And I did not ask you to stick your nose in my affairs – where it does not belong!"

He saw the fear in her eyes when he approached her – a fear he had seen a thousand times, never directed at him (never?). But the rage in his veins – the rage, the boiling rage, a fire so hot that it made the Malmern sun feel like snow – overtook his mind. Before long, he was shoving her back, yelling; yelling, as she struggled to keep her balance.

"Since the very first day I was forced into this city, you have been there – like a shadow, like this parasitic darkness that ever refuses to let me be! I cannot round a corner without seeing you! I cannot sleep without you breaking into my home because you somehow believe that it is your calling to save me! To follow my every move, my every thought – to impose yourself on me, when all I have yearned for since waking up in this tyrannical snake pit was to be left alone! I do not want you hovering about me, talking to me! I want you to leave me alone for the rest of my miserable life! Do you understand me!?"

OC / Writing Ask Tag List

I'm making a taglist for everyone who would like to participate in bringing back certain Writblr events and Tumblr games. However, instead of just limiting it to writeblr, I would like to extend it to fan fiction authors, as well as OC creators.

Some Questions…

so I was thinking about some of the questions that @creators-club posted yesterday (here) and… idk I just wanna answer some <3 specifically for Harper because this is HIS WEEK and I didn’t give him his DUE ATTENTION!

———

So here they are! Just a few:

What’s a little-known fact about your main character’s past?

Something Harper never tells the others (no not even Noha) is the fact that he isn’t Niali-born. Everyone assumes he is, because his language is really good, he has no accent (at least one from another area) , and he doesn’t stand out too much. But he’s not Niali-born.

What inspired your character’s name, and does it have a deeper meaning?

So, Harper’s name was originally a placeholder while I found a better one. I uh. I liked Harper a lot more than I’d like to admit, and now that’s his name yay <3

I think it suits him! Harps are an instrument, and Harper loves music!

What’s an angst headcanon that isn’t explicitly stated in your story?

Something that’s never shown in Interwoven is that Harper has eating issues. I won’t go into detail, but sometimes he binges (as a result of never having enough) and then feels bad and doesn’t eat.

Share a line or an excerpt that shows a character’s deepest fear.

I think I’ll rewrite this one soon, but mainly Harper fears talking about his past. He was small. He doesn’t like being small. Tw for eating gross stuff.

Take what you can get. That was the first rule the boy learned about street urchin life. So now he sat crouched in an alleyway grimer than his once-curly hair. In his tiny, scruffy hands he held a partially-decayed orange. He stared at the mold and dirt on the fruit, and gulped. His stomach growled in response to his nausea. With a shudder, the orange passed his lips and he swallowed before his gag reflex could protest. His stomach still growled, seemingly louder this time. The boy simply sighed and wrapped his oversized coat closer against his too-thin body to stay warm. 

"...Yeah, not really my proudest moment, but hey, you take what you can get, right?" Harper said, shrugging on his fitting coat, then added, "Besides, I've eaten worse and lived, so I'm fine. Really." Yet despite his reassurances otherwise, he still did not make eye contact with a rightfully concerned Noha, and simply walked out the door without another word.

———

phew anyways I’ll tag @bardic-tales , @bunnymermaidwrites , @glbettwrites , @thebookishkiwi , and @annothersummerofsleep bc Harps ✨

So, on this episode of 'Eshani and Cerigo are angsting, again' ...

—

The crows and Councillors depended on her to bring it home. The country needed her to prevent the sum of its people from splintering. And Cheyoria and Cerigo… her return to them the most pivotal task of all. Eshani caught a reciprocal in her hands. A small piece of paper, with a single line of text. You know what my answer is. Come to the balcony. Upon teleporting there, her amour rose from his seat, the pair standing within inches of each other. “Well,” She let out a staggered breath. “Does Cheyoria’s friend still have it?” He shook his head, scrunching his nose a little. “What’s it worth to you? Why let it fall into the hands of High Councillors?” She recoiled at the sting in his last few words, a further reminder of what could’ve been. “You heard what was said. We need it, — I need it — for the peace of the country, for our sake. The longer the Chalice circulates, the further the country spirals.” “How long has it been kept there?” Heat rose in her cheeks, flowing to her fingers and crackling through her skin. The rift would take more than a drop to fix. “You lot just want it for yourselves. Don’t deny it.” “All I need is one drop from it.” Eshani gestured, his accusation a scathing blow. “One drop, Cerigo. One drop, and I can leave it all behind. I can come back to you.” He sighed, giving her a long, prickling stare. “Tell me who is standing before me right now? Because all I see is a High Councillor serving her court’s interests.”

It's CC'S TRIVIA TUESDAY!!!

@bardic-tales

My little submission for today's event is two fold:

I was going to include 'flash back' chapters that included how Tyler and Esme met and all the canon stuff from the first movie I worked her into. I'm not entirely sure why I changed my mind, but I regret not doing it to this very day.

Also, I had every intention to kill Esme off at the end of the first story, I Found. It was going to be a one-and-done, as I'd been on a decade long writing hiatus, and it was really just meant to be a chance to dip my toes in the water before deciding to make the 'big leap' back into things. But....

I discovered a joy for writing again. And meant some amazing people that really loved/love Tyler and Esme together. By the time I got halfway through the story, I realize just how much I loved the together as well. I just couldn't do it to them: I couldn't break my readers' hearts and I certainly couldn't break Tyler's. So it became a whole series :D

Tagging my Tyler/Esme folks and those who have supported me through it all despite not being remotely tied to the fandom: @tragiclyhip @watermeezer @youflickedtooharddamnit @secretaryunpaid @alisbackalleybbq
