I dusted off our dreamwidth account & will cross-post the word game there for a while to see how that goes. High chance of DW-specific activities in the future that would benefit from threaded comments!

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

My Neighbor Demon-Tiger
A digitally painted fanart of Kpop Demon Hunters. Rumi, a Korean pop star in her early 20s, stands under a yellow umbrella in the pouring rain outside a glowing corner store. Next to her is the silly blue tiger derpy, sitting in the wet street with no umbrella. The tiny, six-eyed bird Sussie sits on top of Derpy's head with a tiny red umbrella. The colors skew toward a glowing magenta.

Some writers are planners and know what will happen every step of the way.

Some writers are pantsers and discover the story as they go along.

Some writers are feral demon herders, desperately hanging onto any thread of a story, covered in blood, screaming as it drags them along.
