A chapter teaser. The excerpt reads: “Oh, of course. Now you’re against splitting up!” Honjo spat. Da’al drew back as the Glamori jabbed his finger at him. “Where was that bit of wisdom back when I needed your help convincing Norui not to fly off on her own? What, when it’s to get a warning back to the Order, we take any risk to help— but when it’s our own friend in danger, suddenly we have to play it safe?!” The heat of Honjo’s accusation wilted him. Through a mouth suddenly dry, Da’al muttered, “The situations arenae the same.” “Just shut up. You don’t get a vote on this one.” A cover illustration. A blue Frogfolk is running through a snowy alley, hands shackled in front of him, looking over his shoulder with a worried grimace. Behind him, a human with a bloodied nose gives chase.

First swing at putting a blurb down for my new Victorian era fantasy novella... what do yall think? Worth a read?

📚💙🪐 #fantasy
A graphic blurb. The title reads "Stitches", where the "S" turns into a thread that is looped through a needle, and a pair of tailoring scissors sit alongside the title. A subtitle proclaims, "A Victorian era fantasy novella." At the bottom, a footer announces, "Think DEXTER x SWEENEY TODD, with a BIT OF MORALLY GREY SPIDERMAN TOSSED IN." The blurb is as follows: Journalist Roxie Santos of the New Kingston Report normally covers crimes, not haute couterie. From a once-prestigous family whose fortunes were stolen by scandal, she's worked beyond hard to find her place in the world. But after she blows an interview with a noble, her boss lectures her on "appealing to genteel sensibilities" and sends her off to a small tailor shop on High Street, whose one-of-a-kind garments have been the talk of the town. Its wondrous dresses can ensnare the imagination of even a fashion-blind crime reporter. So, for that matter, can their endlessly fascinating but inscrutable maker. The dressmaker Snyder is a story in himself. No last name- not even a family history to be found. Just a quick wit, passion for his craft, and boundless skill. But cloth and thread isn't all that excites him, and there's a secret behind his craft; one that gets bloodier with every new commission. His secrets might be safer away from the agile eye of a young journalist like Ms. Santos. No matter how practical a man he is, though, Snyder can't resist finding reasons to bring her closer.

A chapter teaser. Faded into the background, a winged woman lying on ground glances warily at the camera. Under a gilded header, "The Wayward Witch Chronicles", a blurb reads: From a desperate bid to save lives came a parting, and a promise. But when that promise is broken by a betrayal, the witch Norui is lost, her mysterious disappearance haunting her friends. Enter Allen West, an Investigator for the Bureau of Magic Regulations, who hunts down illegal magickers. A lead on a series of missing adventurers traps him and his companions in the very ruins where Norui has been imprisoned. Freeing themselves means challenging the enigmatic Whistler, a powerful illusionist whose twisted games blur the lines between reality and nightmare. In his domain, every step could be their last, and they have only a single night to defeat him. But as West and Norui join forces, their greatest threat may not be the dark forces that threaten their lives, but their fellow adventurers, whose loyalties are as uncertain as the shifting illusions surrounding them. As the night draws on, they must decide if they can trust each other- or if their journey will end in ruin. Survival demands more than just courage: it requires a leap of faith. The only way out is through.... A cover teaser. The graphic header reads: "Part one of the Wayward Witch Chronicles." The cover shows a winged elf-like woman trapped in an amber-like field, her clothing marred by bloodstains. A redheaded man calls to her as he presses against the other side of the field. It is titled "Welcome to the Show." Various charm points of the story surround the cover, with arrows indicating the story. They read: "witchcraft and adventure galore" "sometimes cozy, sometimes action-packed" "irredeemable villainy" "strong personalities collide" "high stakes, not everyone survives" "inspired by a D&D campaign, grown into an original fantasy world" "first of a nine-part series" A footer reads: "Read free on RoyalRoad! New chapters every Wednesday!" A list of themes and tropes. T minimalist graphic of wings and a badge-like symbol underlines the header "The Wayward Witch Chronicles." A list reads: 🧙‍♀️ witchy leading lady 🏹 witch hunter leading gent 🐿 adorable (if feisty) squirrel familiar 🤗 close friendships/found family 🌑 OP villain that’ll make you fear moonless nights ⚔ thrilling Witcher-style action 🎭 big drama, strong personalities clash 🩹 emotional trauma & healing 🐸 MCs of unusual races 💀 not everyone survives

OK question for yall! Can you hear yourself shiver?

For me, I can hear the vibration when I'm in a full shiver - worse if I'm trying to suppress teeth chattering! But in describing a character hearing their own shivers, I've confused tf out of my critiquers. Does not everyone experience this?
