Heya! Out of curiosity, did you draw the cover art yourself or commission an artist?

Both of them were commissioned by the same artist. If I drew them they would be stick figures T.T

Hello! Welcome to Tapas!
I started releasing my Fantasy/Sci-fi series last week so here it goes:

Title: The Book Of Midnight

Sub-genre: Science Fiction

Brief Synopsis: Aurora Nokks arrives to Aelhollow Academy without any apparent abilities or powers, and she finds herself fighting with the idea of living with majka users from the entire galaxy.
With an interplanetary conflict lurking in the shadows and a thousand-year prophecy to avoid it, the peace that once reigned over the Faedell System could come to an end.
Will they leave their pacific ideals behind to fight for what's right? Or will this war end the galaxy they know once and for all?
From ArsGardgana, The Books Of Gardgana are ready to tell their story, starting with the first book: The Book of Midnight.

No partner, just me!

What inspired you to write: Growing up I always wanted to live in a fantasy world, full of magic, creatures, gods and stuff like that, so I came up with the story for the book like 7 years ago and here I am.

Favourite Author: I really don't have a favourite author. I really like Stephen King's work.

Link To Story: The Book Of Midnight1

Welcome to Tapas! My fantasy novel is a couple episodes away from the end of book 1. Book 2 to come.
-Title: The Turbulent March
-Sub-genre: Action, Adventure
-Brief Synopsis:A female orc slave with magical training escapes from town by joining a party of adventurers. Little does she know that the quest she has joined is very dangerous and will push the entire party well beyond their limits.
-Partner: Just me.
-I've always created stories, but often it ends up as random backstories and world-building. I decided to focus up and finish a novel.
-Favorite Author: Orson Scott Card
-Link to story: https://tapas.io/series/The-Turbulent-March1/info

Got three novels here, working on all three of them at the same time. Hope all of you enjoy them.
First: Sky-Garden: a story of a doctor in charge of stopping the worst plague to befall one of the kingdoms. A world where the war of the gods caused the land masses to rise to the sky.
-fantasy/drama/romance: medical drama to be specific
-normal DnD fantasy races: elves, dwarfs, orcs, animal-people, those various sort
-more mild language
-Airships and similar tech


Second: Rain. Earth after the outcome of climate change collapses the world. In order to survive in the far, far harsher environments caused by the change, people started adapting in various ways leading to more animal features and strange mutations.
-Sci-fi/romance/mild drama: whirlwind romance
-some language
-Lots of futuristic tech

Lastly, Deathblooded. I thought that with how the Game of Thrones TV show ended disappointing a lot of people, people on here may want another book where graphic and constant gore and language are commonplace. In this novel, an assassin scorn by her kingdom being destroyed takes it upon herself to destroy any and everyone who had a hand or say in the attack on her home.
-fantasy/horror/drama
-Intense gore/language
-almost every chapter is Mature because of gore and language
-villain lead

How can you manage three at once :open_mouth:
I spend ungodly amounts of time on just one lol

I bounce around between books: I can never sit down and write a full book at a time, working on another helps me not get writers block, so I always have many, many books, I've probably got over two or so dozen, but like none are finished: they're all going at once and when I work on one, if I hit a point where I can't focus or don't know where to go, I jump into another one to get my thoughts back together. I just wanted to post these three and working on formatting a fourth for proper uploading.

-Title: Dual Soul

-What inspired you to write?
If EL James can do it, why not me? Just kidding. Writing has always been an escape for me. I take snippets of the real world and toss them into the world I've created. It's cathartic and refreshing, and it's just a bonus when people actually like what I put on the page. Also, writing or storytelling, in whatever form, has to be the most unencumbered form of expression. All you need is a voice and your mind.

-Favorite Author?
My favorite author changes constantly. Right now though, it's a tie between Gillian Flynn and Jane Austen.

1st
Title : Driftwood
-Sub-genre: Fairytale retelling
-Brief Synopsis: A witch who has made a life for herself in the ocean goes back to land.

2nd
Title : The Merulan Curse
-Sub-genre: Regency fantasy (historical fantasy?)
-Brief Synopsis: A young woman in 1813 lives with a secret, chained down by her past. (The blurb on the story is better, but it's longer).

3rd
Title: In the Sorcerer's Service
Sub-genre: Low fantasy
Brief synopsis: A young woman is promised into a sorcerer's service shortly after she is born, and encounters more than she expects.

-Title - Individuality
-Sub-genre - modern fantasy, drama, diverse literature
-Brief Synopsis -
A rascal, troublemaker, maybe even a lesser sociopath-those were nicknames commonly attributed to Mathiaz Rider. An uncontrolled sixteen-year-old brat, who grew up in an orphanage with nothing better to do than annoy the skin off his caretakers and supervisors.

Yet he was also a fearless dreamer with an unachievable goal. Before he could even spell out his name, he idolized the people on his TV screen referred to as 'spiriters'. They were superhumans, capable of impossible feats which Mathiaz found 'cool' and 'badass'. Of course, the little boy wanted to become like them when he grew up.

Then one day, despite nobody taking Mathiaz's conviction seriously, the incredible happened. Mathiaz awakened spirit just like his heroes. He was immediately assigned to the New Baymort Spirit Academy in Holy Bay, with a newfound dream to not only join the famed 'Spirit Tournament' but to become one of the strongest spiriters ever.

But Mathiaz is soon crushed by the harsh reality when he enrolls at the academy. It turns out that not everyone shares his view of the spiriters. Prejudice, hostility, and corruption-that is the broken relationship between spiriters and the citizens of Holy Bay.

What happens when the young dreamer refuses to accept this? With his dream now appearing like mere fantasy, he decides to make it reality himself.

The question is: can he do it?
