New #GeniusLoci article!

The Area is not just a surreal dreamworld, you can use it to get places fast. With some - let's call it: special requirements. Like, not wearing purple, and expecting things to go the "usual way".

There will be more about it in my upcoming #textadventure The Spirit in the Door!

Hi everyone! My name is Jools and I joined because tumblr made me do it (obviously :D)

I'm writing my first fantasy novel which can be read on AO3:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55294801/chapters/140271541

Summary:

"Crow wakes up in a dead, red forest, not remembering a single thing about his life. What he knows, however, is that he is a monster. Between his blackened eye bags, sunken cheeks and grayish skin, there is no denying that.

Pilgrim has been a monster for the last four centuries. His pale, featureless face, spindly limbs and glimmering claws keep people at bay and that's the way it's supposed to be - until a particularly chatty mercenary decides that monsters need friends just like everyone else.

Commander Lirius Thanred of the Eternal Empire reflects upon his life and the skeletons in his closet scream at him with full force - it's time to realize that he is a monster as well."

It's a high fantasy setting, with tons and tons of magic, a protagonist who is rather on the self-conscious and pathetic side and a slowburn queer romance coming later down the line. I hope at least some of you enjoy, and I can't wait to explore this website! Also, introductions feel so terribly awkward ^^'.

New #GeniusLoci article:

The Burners

A spiritual movement that favours the principle of “starting over, unburdened by the past”.
There are bunch of "cults" in Genius Loci - I think this is the first published on the blog - that follow some cherry-picked theme of what people understand of the supernatural, but more worldly ideas as well.

Gestern fiel mir ein, dass die fiktive Sekte in meinem High-Fantasy-Roman noch gar keinen eigenen Namen hat. Ich nenne sie nun die "Gemeinschaft der flammenden Herzen" und warum das so ist, wird auch im Laufe der Handlung erklärt.

Beim Googeln habe ich dann herausgefunden, dass es auch ganz real das Gebäck "flammende Herzen" gibt.
Ich nenne die Sekte nun aber weiterhin so.

#DasBuchzumSonntag stammt diesmal nicht von mir, aber ich durfte dafür eine Fantasylandkarte zeichnen.

"Jarid - Das Leuchten der Magie" von Sandra Gernt.

Die Fantasylandkarte zeige ich im 2. Toot.
