When we first meet Kali, she's carrying a lot of hurt and anger from her first mom's choices. After the initial crisis of the story, Kaliana's anger has a new focus. She's on a rescue mission. If she can just convince her sister to get on board, there's a chance she'll get what she wants. #PlotTober

I've got 5 MCs planned. This group is inspired by the Animorphs, so the plan right now is that each will have their own POV short story in a series. My first POV MC, Kali, is like the sarcastic Marco of the group; their style and anger issues are inspired by Gideon in Gideon the Ninth.

The most direct inspiration for my story and the world I want to build is the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. The diversity of her dragons and their nuanced relationships with humans and the environment around them are nothing short of magic themselves. I'll put other examples below.

Initial idea: a young person and her queer-teenage-misfit group of friends uncover a mystery, attempt to right a wrong, and create seismic change in a world where the environment itself is defined by the presence and intentions of magical dragons. How we get there: Let's find out! #PlotTober

I felt #grief
In the riptide
That pulled me
Neath the sea
It’s then I heard
Selkie folk
Hum dirge
To my soul freed
Now my spirit
Swims with them
Their pod
Adopted me
Don’t you shed
One tear for me
The deep
Supplies my needs
If you dare…
Come swim with us
You’ll find love
In our lee

Scratching outside my #tent wakes me. A mouse seeking warmth, sure. In #time it goes away.
I unzip the tent and try to start a fire before #snow falls again.
Movement behind me. I turn to see a massive shadow hunched behind the now-closed canvas door.
It can keep the tent.

The more we plan ahead in life, the less we need to hurry
The more we work to set things right, the less we have to worry
The more we can ignore the noise, the less we seem to hear it
The more we learn to wield our voice, the less we ought to fear it.

Some stations were the darkest pits of the worst that space could offer, others were kind of civilised, while others were downright naive.
Lacking adequate security, people slipping away to #canoodle in sensitive areas, no customs. Great for a smuggler, but prime targets for piracy.

So demure I seem to you
Generous, I'm sure
Lascivious are you to me
#Insatiable, a boar
Beauty is as you behold it
Beastliness as I
Yet hidden in my coy disdain
Monstrous yearnings lie
If you turn into a man
They'll surely want us wed
But bring a bit of teeth, I beg,
Into this Beauty's bed

His #passion for fashion is unrequited by every piece of clothing he wears. A fashion model will wear a sack and convince you of its and their radiant beauty, while his clothing, washed out and crumpled, puts him to the edge of your vision, a marginal entry pencilled into the book of life. #vss365
