I'm going to add a comment to this post after some weeks of posting it. You sweet, sweet summer child. You haven't read Mistborn yet. You haven't read Way of Kings yet. Oh, and Alchemised. You haven't read that either.

And affirms us depraved that we are not alone.

Hey. Logging in Bluesky after a long time. Congratulations on getting married!! Praying for all the best things for you and your husband.

I once took the matter of a cracked toilet seat lightly. I still have the scars to show for it. Glad you guys got a new one right away. haha.

I just bought it last week. Finished it today. My mind is in shambles. I'm having vivid dreams of the House for the past two days. The Beauty of the House Is Immeasurable.

My high fantasy WIP is coming along slowly. I intend to finish it in the next 5 to 6 months (including editing, of course) and then query it. In the meantime, building a little social media presence, reading extensively in the fantasy genre, and meeting other writers. It's hectic but it's fun.

I haven't checked it out yet. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll wishlist it.

And on the subject of fashion, I meant a sprawling epic fantasy story with various classes, gods, aliens, artefacts, horror, romance, scale, thrill-- all of it. Hahaha.

I can keep adding more threads? Don't mind if I do.

So, Terry Pratchett's Light Fantastic as well.

And then, of course, you have Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series. That is another heavy influence.

What else, what else, what else, hmmm.

There's another.

Elminster by Ed Greenwood, yess.

on a serious note, the other comp for the wip is Shahnameh/Daastan of Amir Hamza, i.e. the motherlode of Eastern Fantasy with its djinns and fae and wizards and rogues and thieves and beggars and kings and dervishes.

Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic also works in a pinch.

Will do, Lorna. The investigation is ongoing.

You see, I have decided that I'm going to risk looking stupid, and that's no big cost for the acquisition of some really insightful knowledge, should all y'all offer it to me. Am I stupidly obsessed with Baldur's Gate III? Yes. Did I write an entire novel in its vein? Yes. hahahahahahaha.

Which book are you reading/not reading?

But I genuinely love it ahahaa

Haahahahahah love it

I never write sh*t like that. And yes, this was a sh*tpost.

Hell yeah! Throw in a little bit of nonchalance in there as well!

this is the first time you're querying? How's the process going so far?
