Since we can't be normal about literally anything and we never really want to anymore, we will be doing as we do and aiming to work on five different projects! These will be interchangeable throughout the month and hopefully we will be able to get a lot of words for all of them!

Monthly Challenge Goals:

5,000 Words A Day

150,000 Words a Month

5 Zero Drafts [ Any Format / Existence ]

Full List of Works under the cut [ it is long, we do not apologize ]

Monthly Challenge Works:

The Magician & The Curse

Original Work, Standalone Novel Fantasy, Horror Dual Perspectives, Third Person Present Tense

Mature Content: Murder, Body Mutilation, Violence

⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰

Witches have haunted the Forests of Navamora for far longer than most of the Histories recorded within the Lands. Elios has known of the Witches before ever learning about the Beings of Humanity who have tried and failed to regain any sort of foothold in their Cursed home. Not even Humanity’s attempt at purging the Magicians does anything to help the growing Cursed Existences from rising from the grounds and destroying their World.

It’s only when they meet a Magician, one of those who were cursed at birth to death, that they learn of things not even their beloved Build is aware of. And they come face to face with the disgusting realities that engulf what it really means to hunt a Witch.

The Cityscapes of Dragoons

Original Work, Standalone Novel Fantasy, Action and Adventure Dual Perspectives, Third Person Present Tense No Major Mature Content

⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰

They say Icarus laughed as he fell. They never say what kind of laughter it was.

Emily has known nothing of the Cityscapes, the giant abandoned relics of machinery and impossibility that float through the Skies, air horns screaming their paths for absolutely no one to hear anymore. The only things that come from them now are debris, death, and the deadly roars of the Fire Bellies, Dragons without Knowledge.

The dead Cityscapes are only good for supply runs, attempts to salvage whatever essentials they can without evoking the wrath of the Beasts. It's a death wish wrapped in desperate hope, and Emily lives to serve, if only because it keeps her and her own alive.

And then she lays witness to something that makes her wish she didn't have so much to gamble against; an Icarus, a child falling from one of the Cityscapes without his wings.

Even worse, he was definitely laughing.

The Plague Begins With Me

Original Work, Possible Series Low Fantasy, Dystopian, Horror Third Person Present Tense

Mature Content: Death, Death Mentions, Medical Horrors, Body Horrors, Violence, Weapons, Blood, Implied Gore

⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰

Lost to the devastation of the Plague and destroyed by the aftermath of Humanity’s Fall, the World of Zeomia holds nothing but the dystopian devastation of disease and decay.

Shouldering a responsibility that no one else is allowed to know, Zero tries to give mercy to those who have fallen from her own twisted fate.

To Sleight the Mind

Original Work, Standalone Novel Fantasy, Psychological Horror Elements Differing Perspectives, Third Person Present Tense

Mature Content: Violence, Implied Gore

⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰

Tomfoolery was a gamble, plain and simple.

But when the Game holds itself to only one winner and too many losers to hold any value, it ends up as more of a show for cowards. The Tents of Fantasia are nothing more than hunting grounds for the Ring Master and his Mind Magicks. They drag anyone with a lick of desire into the gambles, make sure to drive into their fears, leave them nothing but the luck of their own willpower.

No one survives the Tomfoolery Gamble.

Julia knows this, has laid witness to the Mind Magicks herself.

And she knows a cheat when she sees it.

Vagabond Child

Original Work, Series of Short Stories / Novella? Dystopian, Apocalyptic Aftermath, Survival Third Person Present Tense No Major Mature Content

⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰

It had been a while since the Incident.

Not many people came by anymore, no one daring to venture into the wilderness that had taken over their utopia.

Those who did manage to get out of the beds and away from their homes were Scavengers, ghosts in search of the glory of the Old Days.

[365runesoftheamalgamations]

hello and how are you, fellow Wanderers?

Honestly, we have way too many Works to even consider about, but we do tend to pick out five different Projects for every Monthly Challenge, so let's grab a generator, pick out a few, and share some things about them, yes?

A Knight's Honor

Intro Post | Writing Tag

Elizabeth Swallow has been guided in all things for her Life and her Status, the rules and restrictions of the Ladies-in-waiting giving her everything that she should focus on and what she should nip at the bud. It is all for the sake of the status of the Swallow Family, far too influential and entangled in the misadventures and misgivings of the Courts of the Earth and Flames. That is until she lays witness to a single moment that changes the Worlds for her mind and soul forever. Falling for the quiet nature and endless Knowledge of the Knight, she aims to give herself the freedom of following her heart in the matters of her own life, even if it ends up ruining more than just her standing in the eyes of the Courts and favor of the Ladies.

⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰

A Magician & A Curse

Elios has known of the Witches before ever learning about the Beings of Humanity who have tried and failed to regain any sort of foothold in their Cursed home.

It’s only when they meet a Magician, one of those who were cursed at birth to death, that they learn of things not even their beloved Guild is aware of. And they come face to face with the disgusting realities that engulf what it really means to hunt a Witch.

To Fall Without Angel Wings

Intro Post | Writing Tag

There are three things to know about freefalls.

One: it only occurs when you jump off the bridges of the Worlds, where the Realities collide for a single moment of delayed time and open space. Two: once you freefall, you are cursed for life. Everyone will know and everyone can tell. Three: no one ever thanked a Spirit. There are many things that Sebastian has allowed to fall through her fingertips, but none of them included the fate of her own body, mind, and soul. She knows exactly what she is getting into when she visits the Bridge of the Vagabonds but everything is turned on its head when her nonexistent prayer for a Salvation she never wanted is granted in the worst form she could have conjured.

Let’s get to know your main story! Tell us a little bit about it!

[methoughtsphantom]

Jason “my family doesn’t know im alive” Todd and Danny “my family doesn’t know I’m dead” Fenton going alongside each of their plans my beloved. like Danny will absolutely go head-to-head with all of Gotham to support his new best friend on all his crime lord endeavors while he drags Jason to also attend collage with him. They are roommates and there never seems to a mention of family from either side. It’s an unspoken understanding they have. They met because Crime alley as a ghost lair thrummed with so much loneliness, it was at first the perfect place for Danny to hide his ecto signature in. But then he saw the dumbass whose lair it was lean his motorcycle just a tad too much when making a sharp turn to an alley, he sweeped the floor through a lifted chain link that passed his body but not his helmet. Yep that’s right the red thing got stuck. Danny who at the moment happened to be watching through his window snorted. Much to his horror because if not a ghost that dude could’ve gotten his head flung off.

Still, the scene was ridiculous.

On a whim he irrationally sees the police closing in on the guy and panicked at the thought of the guy using intangibility to free himself so Danny phased them both through his apartment wall and left the guy sprawled in his couch. Jason didn’t freak out but that’s normal when one’s got a concussion, one the guy immediately denied having as Danny laid out the medical supplies. The idiot proceeded to almost flatten four steps to the door with his stubbornness. He also said “I’m asexual” in the most deadpan voice as Danny dropped him back in the couch.

Danny sighed. Clearly though, he’d done so too early in the night because the guy kept trying to go, kept trying to knock Danny out, kept trying to slash him with knifes Danny didn’t know he had stashed. He’d only disarmed the guy from his guns. The visible ones apparently, cause at one point the guy did take out a gun and shoot until the ammo ran out and then teetered the thing like it was an art prop and hit his moon lamp.

Danny "yeah you aren’t officially my friend until you’ve tried to kill me" fenton my guys.

Anyways both keep having the same argument over if Danny technically kidnapped Jason or not. Danny holds the fact that the police at least didn’t see the guy make the ridicule. Jason argued that happened cause he was sporting a concussion. Danny argued he got that after.

Jason at first thinks the guy's a meta, but no. Danny introduces himself, sheepily now that he recognizes this is who the lair he invaded is from. He bandages him and tries to cook for him. If Danny didn’t have ice powers he most certainly would’ve burned the apartment. Jason then proceeds to kick him out of his own kitchen and make them both enchiladas. It’s the most normal both had in a while with another person and the air seems oddly settled. From then on, Jason constantly invited himself over, under the pretense that this was his territory and therefore he could drop in unannounced. Danny who has actual powers says he only allows this because Jason cooks very well.

Danny stays away from the crime fighting business unless his buddy is in deep shit he can’t get himself out. Also it’s Danny’s turn to cover for his vigilante friend which Sam and Tucker give him so much shit for. (but also advice)

And they were roommates. (omg) Danny effectively derails Jason’s big comeback plans by casually dropping ghost lore every two days. Like,

Jason, talking about how he doesn’t want Bats snooping on his territory:

Danny: Just don’t let them in

Jason: ??

Danny: yeah!! Hasn’t Batman died and got revived??? You can totally kick out death touched people you don’t want entering on your lair.

Jason: …I can?

Danny: Yep dude, your lair’s supposed to feel safe.

Jason: wait does that mean I can kick you out?

Danny: First this is my apartment. Second, im dead, not dead touched. Third, it’s too late to get rid of me. bitch.

Anyways Jason is super excited. You mean to tell him he can actually deny people over to his territory haunt?? (Yes it’s only to people who have died and came back but still!! The sample size is exactly the type of people he doesn’t want to see—!)

Joker my beloathed can’t step foot in Crime Alley.

(Jason’d feel a lot safer if the clown was dead but the possibility of his murderer turning into a ghost and their little loophole not applying on the clown is too scary to contemplate.)

Anyways, Jason loves experimenting with the power. It can go from simply making people shudder and not want to enter crime Alley to straight up not letting them enter like there’s an invisible wall blocking the way.

Jason because he’s hurt that Bruce never even patrols Crime Alley and also because he’s petty put B under the category of “invisible wall” blacklist. His reasoning is that the man doesn’t even attempt to enter Crime Alley. To him it’s surely just a place shadowed in tragedy. (anyways that’s it’s the place he met Jason)

Ironically, Jason totally forgets that Batman does venture into Crime Alley one day in the whole year. The day he met Jason.

Okay. He didn’t forget at first. The first year Jason remembers cause it was only a few months till then but then the next— Jason forgets that today’s the anniversary of the day’s Bruce’s parents died. He forgets to allow B in when he feels a slight tug and dismiss the feeling that prompts Bruce to investigate because he literally can’t enter Crime Alley. He starts the trialsTM, he scouts on the very edge and sees people the whole day enter and get out and cross with no problem but Bruce can’t.

It’s literally just Bruce.

Time to call Constantine, i guess.

Sketchy sequel to this little thing I drew on an 8 hour plane trip without references because no wifi :(

Shockwave's logic tree of 'only breakdown's brave/stupid enough to call him breastie' and 'breakdown saying "hey breastie" is in reference to him' meets Breakdown's rarely seen mischievous side like a downball piffed against a wall-

Melotober - Day 3 - Potion

The ingredients matter, or it won't heal at all. But the magic and intent of the crafter can make them better. (aka I wish you could take lessons from villagers in later games in place of the dang skill bread)

hello and how are you, fellow Wanderers?

We are the Storyverse Amalgamations [ primarily we / they, System of Whispers ] and we're so happy to be able to jump in and find the courage to join in this Summerfest! We hope to be able to dive in and participate in all that we can and we hope that everyone can have fun with this new adventure!

We write so many genres and have way too many Works to even properly count and introduce, but we dabble in just about everything. Hopefully one day these Works will end up as books, though we're not that worried about it. All we know is that we want to write and not even the Three will keep us from that kind of joy.

Happy August and Good Luck to everyone joining in! Hope to see you all around this month! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

We’re going to focus on getting to know each other today. Reblog this post and introduce yourself!
