#FantasyIndiesAugust D14:
Romance in WIP? Star-crossed lovers, I’m afraid.💔 One of them was never meant to exist. I suspect it'll all end in tears & the destruction of the world as they know it. However, this is just the first draft; their chances may improve as the story develops.😉

Grumpy mystical poetry always made the Book Wyrm laugh.

#vss365 #spider
There was a spider under the staircase in the Book Wyrm's library.
"Shall I remove it?" the new helper asked.
"Please, don't," said the Book Wyrm.
"Oh! Is it a pet? Does it have a name?"
"It does," said the Book Wyrm. "Insecticide."

#vss365 #brownie 2/2
All the Book Wyrm had to do was leave a bit of supper on the hearth and stuff cotton in both ears before going to bed, because, let's face it, a family of brownies sweeping the floor is anything but quiet.

#vss365 #brownie 1/2
There was a family of brownies living in the Book Wyrm's house, which was quite unusual (they tend to be solitary creatures). The Book Wyrm didn't mind, though. Each night, the brownies would come down from their hiding places to take care of the housework.

When the street urchins discovered that the terrible Zasius #Beast was made mainly of paper and roasted poultry, they used the most flammable parts of him to start a fire and had the rest for dinner.

Why you should never consider yourself too old to start a #writing career! by @karenmckellar.bsky.social

"Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are huge classics of the fantasy genre, right? But did you know that Tolkien was 45 when he published The Hobbit?"

#2025ShortFictionChallenge

Story #31 of 52 is about spiders and dragons. This isn't the first time I've featured these two characters in a fable. The idea (a retelling of Charlotte's Web) originated several years ago on a platform that used to be called Twitter.
