Hi, hi, hello! Figured I should throw together a pinned post.
I'm Frey, a Fantasy writer with a love of magic, riddles, lost things, and dead worlds. I'm a big fan of reading ancient moth-eaten journals and hanging with jellyfish.
If I'm here, I probably should be writing

🙄 This is such a pathetic move. Seriously folks got nothing better to do than create bots to harass fanfic writers.
this is so fucking ridiculous but its TRUE the new dipshit feature of 2025 is that there's a bunch of praise-hate ragebait bots set loose on AO3 comments rn. If you receive anything that sounds like this, it's a bot. I can't believe things are getting stupider!!!!!!!!

90% of writing a book is just having the courage to look at how bad your draft is and staying there at the desk trying to fix it instead of running away.

Creating languages for a #fantasy setting is a love-hate relationship.
On the one hand, I love the flow of language and how cultures absorb and transform each other's words/phrases as they interact, and discovering the repercussions of such exchanges.
On the other, I hate grammar.

It's crazy how much Tirras Savehys has grown since I started my silly little blog on it ages ago. From a single country to nine. The map alone quadrupled in size. Nothing done in halves, I suppose!
