Everywhere, honestly. There is so much that you can draw from the world around you. My brain is constantly firing off ideas based on some mundane thing that's happened.

The Nightmare before Kissmas by Sara Raasch. Very much a gay romance, very much not my usual genre. But also, very well written and engaging. I read it on a friend's recommendation.

in the sequel to Lemon Balm, Aloe, there is a side character named Ebony who is in love with a Nosferatu.
In Such Sweet Sorrow, Rebecca is human, she has regular encounters with a ghost. She's terrified of him at first.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Are your characters human?
If not, tell me a little about what they are!
If so, are there any non-human species they interact with regularly? Tell me a bit about them and the type of relationship they have!

#HorrorWritersChat I'd like to think that my characters all think fairly similarly, but I think my masculine characters worry a bit more about keeping control and not panicking, whereas my feminine characters worry more about BEING controlled. They all have similar fears of loss, though.
Q4 is up. Ten minutes to outro and the promo: I am still working my way through. You're all wonderful busy bees today and I adore you!
This one is a little easier. No archetypes!

#HorrorWritersChat Book #3 isn't released yet, but one of the scariest antagonists in The Night Garden series absolutely weaponizes his masculinity. Most of the characters in The Night Garden are queer; François is a bigot in so many ways, and needlessly cruel to those he deems 'lesser'. - (1/2)
Q3. I'm doing what I can to answer everyone, and repost, so bear with me. So I don't keep you waiting, I'll throw out 3. Interpret this one how you like. I know many queer folks like me do not align masculinity with man shaped. And with horror, we love to subvert our tales.

Privilege.
People cannot see what they have until they lose it. All of my characters, especially my male characters, start from a place of comfort and then have that completely ripped away.
Alternately, the arrogant asshole is really fun to break down...

Hello! I'm Artemis Quinn, and I write dark fantasy and grief horror! All of my stories so far have a level of paranormal to them, as well. There's not tons of men in my stories, actually. They are defined by their confidence/privilege, which usually is a folly, but not always.

Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.

Right now, the most challenging thing is I guess line edits. I repeat myself a lot and am an overwriter, so I need to fight myself to pare down and make things easier to understand.

Such Sweet Sorrow's alternate title could be Screw Ghosts, and Screw My Aunt.
Lemon Balm's working title was, A Vampire and a Werewolf Walk Into A Church... (There's No Punchline)

Give us an alternate title to your WIP. Another title you considered, your working title, or a joke title.
Potential examples:
Of Mice and Men was originally Something That Happened
The Da Vinci Code might've been ScavengerHuntWIP
Frankenstein could be How to Make a Guy in 10 Days

Nocturne, Lykaia, and Elena are also high up on my list.

Stephen King is one of the most prolific horror writers in the modern zeitgeist. This one is still rated fairly high from what I can see, but I hated it. The characters weren't engaging, there wasn't much horror to the story even though the premise was interesting. Not my fav.
