I'mma bring this topic back to serve my scribal kin. Let's continue showcasing the virtues of our verse :raised_hands:! I present a portent for the curious and keen: one about a child chasing challenge into fear. Dare to share the senses of its addled arcane author. May it burden all who brave it with a want fo…

This tale's latest chapter posted earlier today. It follows the troubled lead through several spectral scares. We've eleven more to post before we pull the lot. Those who seek them after that will have to p(l)ay to see :wink:.

G'day kindred! I seek a cover artist for my middle-grade thriller novella, and I thought I'd see if someone here might be keen. I've a clear vision for the cover I require to tease the tale's content: it will show a young black girl posed like Mother Mary, but starfish limbs and tendrils take the pl…

It's been some years since I've posted here, and I'm back to share my newest narrative for a limited time. Check the preface here. May it burden all who brave it with a want for more!

Okay! I believe I've touched base with everyone who's reached out so far. I'm pleased to have received such heartening enthusiasm :smiley: . Still got a long way to go, but I still have cards to play. One of them: this video, which I hope will help me reach people who aren't quite as fond of reading. I in…

G'day Kindred! I am Solomon J. Twiggs: scribe, story analyst, and founder of Bifrost Creative Ventures Ltd. I've put my personal writing projects on hold to focus on building this business, as this plague has proved we need new powers to challenge corporate media. More on that in a bit. First, I'd…

@dumplingbabe This sort of art isn't quite what this enterprise needs, but those covers do look lovely. I'll post in your thread there to see what you might be able to whip up for me =). @VibrantFox I'm sending you a PM. Thanks again for putting yourself forward!

By all means! You can PM me or post here. If you have something you need to email, let me know, and I'll provide my address. (My filters are somewhat strict, so I'll want to know it's coming.)

Thanks for asking! As long as you feel the covers adequately demonstrate your style and influences, they'll do nicely. Besides, I might well need a cover designer separately =P.

Salutations kindred! Been a while since I've posted here. I'm Solomon J. Twiggs, a Los Angeles-based scribe and story analyst under lockdown. I'm a writer on Tapas and Medium, but for some time now, I've been in training to launch a new entertainment enterprise. The time has come to start seeking …

From Hethys: "Share? Let righty truthy be? My truth's a lie! Third King can see. @kainatarma ...Follow-up: Do you acquire your sustenance from humans? @Zaboem From Hethys: "You've a lovely eye on you! My cloth is my own make. Come ye, tarry in my shack. Sit and sup with me. My brew shall please …

(It's Mara [or any of my other characters] when I write "From [Character]:". That question was from me.) I've heard of a Dullahan, but only as the headless Celty from "Durarara!" Her example doesn't at all explain why your soup has an eyeball in it xD. What pleasures do you gain from eating such thi…

To Keane: You answered my question with a question. I take it that's a no. To answer your question, though, while I wouldn't enjoy killing if I had to, I also wouldn't have any qualms with it so long as it gets me fed. But I'd spare a bit more thought for my victims than a lion spares a lamb. Foll…

Follow-up question for Red: Do you have a Southern (U.S.) accent? If so, why? Artemis: "I'm often overlooked by storytellers for favoring beasts over men. But I do relish my part in the tale of Niobe, the fool mortal who considered herself a better mother than my own. Humans seldom understand that…

Question for Red: I see you and Jump-Bot share a color scheme. Are you two closely related? Question for...uh...@kainatarma's character: Do you kill to acquire your ingredients, and if so, do you enjoy it? (I am a pure writer, so anyone wishing to question my characters will have to go on brief…

2017 was the worst year of my life, but it inspired the explosion of creativity that 2018 has been. This year, I: Left a job at a wonderful employer because, unfortunately, intensive work that isn't creative work exacerbates my madness. Learned a new language: Dutch. I'm not confident speaking wi…

I say you go with the flow of the story. Always. Don't try to force it unless someone's paying you. If someone's paying, then yeah, deadlines and quotas are a thing =P. The work you do for free is work you can take your time on to ensure that it is as it should be. People will forgive delayed work b…

Your reality was once my dream as well! I studied Dutch for about ten months before spending this past May in the Netherlands. I try to practice from time to time, but without Rosetta Stone (my license has been inexplicably suspended), I'm losing it >_>. Immersion is always the best way, though. @…

Or was that person beloved by cheese?

New Years' Resolutions, anyone? My primary goal is to qualify for membership in the Writers Guild of America in 2019. It's all about opening doors and building foundations I actually like this year. I am only 28, and I've "started over" 4 times: I've called three states home, idled overseas, and r…

Looks like I passed my Tapas anniversary sixteen days ago. Neat :slight_smile:.

You might like A Million Little Things. It's a drama that airs on ABC and has between 6 and 8 episodes so far. It features a lot of recognizable actors, but they're B-listers whose names I'm not sure I've ever known x). I like them all, though, and the performances manage to be both amusing and enga…

What about being rude?

Mmm...Okay, so this could be an offensive thing to say, but I'm not sure if the Irish and the Scottish qualify as Celtic together or if Celtic is specifically Irish -_-. Having said that, in my prospective tale "Tuatha De Danaan" (named for the race of Celtic gods), the antagonists are the Fomoria…

That's actually a solid idea. I used to update Call Me Mara three days a week instead of one. I can go back to that for a week. Since my readers aren't generally very talkative, just generating more of the stuff that brought them in is probably the best thanks I can give them for now. Thanks for t…

I'm one subscriber away from 100. Wasn't certain I'd ever get here when I started, but here I am. This ain't a celebration post, though. This is a query to my fellow creators: should I do a subscriber special of some sort? I posted to ask my readers what they'd want when I was hanging at around …

Presently, I sit here drinking. Even now, I get to thinking. (Not another not-poem, but my first two thoughts rhymed, so I put 'em together xP.) Wrote the outline for the pilot episode of an offbeat superhuman story I've conceived. I suppose that's why I'm working to make this my career; even wh…

Hm. Based on your gripes, you might enjoy some of the content from my Mythologia entries. They're short stories, but they aren't about McGuffins or sexiness.

I haven't been exercising in the same manner since I moved (I still walk quite a lot, but I no longer have my weights to lift every day), so that could be a factor. I won't be able to worry about that quite so much until I finally manage to settle, though. I won't ask for any spoilerrific content.…

I appear to have a dark-leaning case of bipolar disorder. This ain't the first time, and I've seen (and been treated by) several professionals. That's why I speak so flippantly about the matter; just sorta something I live with now. There are worse fates. Even so, I appreciate the encouragement. Y…
