hell-yeah-fantasy: As I was gone for a while, I thought it might be good to reintroduce myself to the writeblr community!Heya, I’m Julia and I’m a 23-year-old writer from Scotland. I’ve been writing for eleven years and I have more story ideas than time to write them. Aside from writing, I read (mostly fantasy and sci-fi), play video games (Dragon Age <3), paint with watercolours and make polymer clay jewellery and figurines. (Too many hobbies, not enough time!)I write mostly fantasy, although I’ve dabbled in sci-fi and contemporary in the past. I’ll be making proper introduction/reintroduction posts for my WIPs in the future, but for now here’s a summary.My current WIPs are:The one I’m currently writing: an adult high fantasy standalone novel tentatively titled Priestess of Fire; features a bi protagonist and an f/f romance; the setting is inspired by the Byzantine empire; there are meddling gods, temple ruins, mercenaries, an unstable empire, love, revenge, powerful magic, heartbreak, destiny and an overarching search for purpose.The one I’ve worked on the longest: an adult low fantasy series tentatively called The Crown of Palenia (six books divided into two arcs); there are six POV characters and a lot of queer rep; it’s set in the same world as PoF, just about a thousand years later; the setting is inspired by Renaissance France; there are meddling nobles, an unstable country, an exiled princess, duels, balls, rebellion, dying magic, sacrifice, secret romances, not-so-secret romances, poisonings, betrayals, war and a lot of morally grey characters.The one in the middle: an adult high fantasy duology without a name; all I can say is that it’s set in the same world as PoF and TCoP (somewhere in the middle, timeline-wise) in a land inspired by the early medieval Slavic history; it was inspired by a Russian folk rock song and will have a slightly older protagonist (she even has a child).The dark one: an adult dark fantasy standalone called Finist; it’s a retelling of the Russian fairy tale The Feather of Finist the Falcon and I wrote the first draft during last year’s NaNoWriMo; it’s currently shelved, as I need time to decide what exactly I want the central theme to be.The adventure one: an adult fantasy trilogy without a name that I might make my NaNo project this year; features a lesbian swordswoman protagonist, a gay disaster nobleman and a demon on a road trip/epic quest; setting will be most likely inspired by Renaissance Italy; there will be duels and magic and romance, with a sprinkle of banter.The YA one: a YA urban fantasy duology called The Keepers of Moscow; it’s a story that’s very dear to me, but for now it’s on the back burner.Aside from the above, I occasionally write short fiction and my asks are always open for prompts and questions. My DMs are also always open, so don’t be afraid to send me a message as I’d like to make some new friends on here and reconnect with old ones! Hey welcome back! Good to see you in the writeblr sphere again Can’t wait to catch up with your writing journey. -- source link
