ROUND 1: PART 2

Propaganda under cut

Nimona

● She can turn into a dragon that breathes cereal. She is also possibly a trans metaphor.

Mateo

● Mateo and Zephyr are in human male form most of the time because they are exiled or self-exiled from the dragon realm. Mateo is jaded and depressed while Zephyr is energetic but naive, and it takes them most of the book before they realize they have feelings for each other.

Writeblr Re-intro

I've been around for a minute, but after getting some new followers and returning from semi-hiatus and seeing a lot of new Twitter escapees around, I thought I should reintroduce myself :)

My name is B. Pigeon (they/he) and I'm an indie author who mostly writes queer adult fantasy of various subgenres! I'm also part of the queer indie publishing collective, EHLS, with @fellamarsh. With the shortest summaries I can manage, my published works are:

Mirrored in Evergreen: a dreamy contemporary fantasy about a wizard cursed to be forgotten;

Worm in a Jar, a cute fantasy novella about a witch who accidentally summons a shadowy but harmless demon;

A Hollow Contract, a fantasy serial (on hiatus) following the students & employees of two wizards with ancient beef;

Poised in Either Eye, a lighthearted urban fantasy about dragons in human form trying to survive on Earth by doing crime;

Hierarchy of the Unseen, a fantasy following a demon hunter and a demon subverting their religious order and military (respectively) to team up & prevent the apocalypse

Those last two were cowritten with Fell A. Marsh to serialize on our Patreon, and HotU is still being serialized! My main current WIPs are Heirloom, a moody urban fantasy about trans people with psychic powers who hunt vampires and break curses, and untitled, a fantasy about an amnesiac vampire trying to uncover his past in a world he no longer recognizes.

I post a lot about my own projects and processes, and also about the whiteness of publishing and writing spaces; the highs and lows of self-pub; the books I'm reading (which tend toward the weird, gay, and speculative - add me on Storygraph, btw); and my hot takes.

If you wanna learn more about my ~professional~ stuff you can check out the EHLS website; if you want the ~unprofessional~ content, you can follow me on here, lol. I'm looking for more people to follow, so I'll check out your stuff if you interact with this post; reblogs appreciated so I can find more mutuals :) Thanks!

Hi Willow! I'm Raisa and I'm new to writeblr! I've been looking for active members of the community who'd like to be mutuals. Do you have any recommendations? My dominant style is new adult comedy with naturally diverse characters, and I'm a lover of all genres from other writers!! Thanks!!!

Hi! Welcome to writeblr!

I write almost exclusively adult fantasy, and most, if not all, of the blogs I recommend also write mostly fantasy, so take my recs with a grain of salt if that's not totally your thing.

@b-a-pigeon is one of my faves! They are a self-published indie author, and I can personally recommend their books Mirrored in Evergreen and Poised in Either Eye (the latter they co-wrote with fellow author Fell A. Marsh, who is also here on Tumblr!)

@ashen-crest has one book in the works of being self-published, I believe, as well as a free prequel available! The excerpts of writing that I’ve read so far are lovely and fantastical. Me want read.

@emelkae ‘s WANNABE is on my TBR as soon as I’m done with the two library books I have checked out. Their writing makes me so excited to read the full-length book!

@sleepyowlwrites is like, the sweetest human being on the planet? I see her in other people’s ask boxes all the time saying nice things and giving encouragement. She’s just simply a delight.

Other people I am always happy to see on my dash include @purgatorydotexe @zmlorenz @magic-is-something-we-create and probably at least a hundred more. If I forgot anyone please yell at me in the replies.

I would also recommend checking out @worldbuildingwedasks for questions to participate in WBW, if that’s your thing, @flashfictionfridayofficial for Flash Fiction Friday, if THAT’S your thing, and @welcometowriteblr and their Discord channel to meet even more humans who write things~

Friends, please feel free to reblog this to introduce yourself if you so desire!

#raisapathy #askbox #genuinely sorry i couldn't tag literally everyone i follow but i would be here for 24 hours if i did that #love u all

ROUND 1: PART 4

Propaganda under cut

Zephyr

●Mateo and Zephyr are in human male form most of the time because they are exiled or self-exiled from the dragon realm. Mateo is jaded and depressed while Zephyr is energetic but naive, and it takes them most of the book before they realize they have feelings for each other.

Terezi Pyrope

● Her adoptive mother is a literal dragon of a species that is born blind, when Terezi is blinded by a former friend, her adoptive mom teaches her how to navigate the world the way young dragons do. Terezi loves dragons in general, and collects dragon plushies and also scales shed by real dragons. she also has sharp pointy teeth like a dragon. also she's bisexual as fuck

● her parent is a dragon and she's canonically pansexual.

she's obsessed with law and justice in an ace attorney prosecutor way, extremely cutthroat when she has to be but by no means immune to feeling guilty about it afterwards, and described as being a better manipulator than her bestie/ex-bestie/girlfriend who has literal mind control powers.

Theo is chosen to be the wizard Mara’s apprentice, but he ends up working as her errand boy. To make sense of the world of magic, he must rely on his quirky collection of coworkers, the secrets hidden in the walls of Mara’s magically-altered house, and the secret relationship he develops with Felix, the apprentice of Mara’s rival.

Taker of the Third Path, Fell A. Marsh — A gay romantic fantasy novel, set to conclude serialization in July. Read chapter one free!

Poised in Either Eye, Pigeon & Marsh — A queer urban fantasy collab, now completed & published. Read the prologue - ch. 1 free!

Aloof, grumpy punk Mateo left the artless world of dragons to live among human subcultures years ago; sweet but mischievous Zephyr arrives in the human realm with something to prove. When the two meet, both the stability of Mateo’s human life and Zephyr’s plans to impress his family are thrown into question.

Upcoming Collab #2 — Another fantasy collab set to begin this July!

Our next collaborative work is a queer fantasy story about overcoming your daddy issues (by killing your dad) while preventing the apocalypse—and about becoming the person you want to be regardless of others’ expectations of you.

My collaborative queer urban fantasy novel is out TODAY!

Poised in Either Eye is a lively & lightly-romantic story about two dragons in human form trying to make it on Earth.

Aloof, grumpy punk Mateo left the artless world of dragons for Earth’s subcultures; sweet but mischievous Zephyr arrives in the Human Realm with something to prove. When the two meet, both the stability of Mateo’s human life and Zephyr’s plans to impress his family are thrown into question.

Alternately funny and emotional, PIEE is a slow-ish burn gay fantasy romance in the weird little space between novella and novel, and told from the alternating perspectives of our two protagonists. Wanna check it out? You can...

Read a free excerpt 🎁

Add it on Goodreads and Storygraph 📍

Buy it now on Amazon or the EHLS webstore! ✨🎉

And as always, any reblogs or shares are very much appreciated 😇
