#AwesomeCharacters I notice, when I think about this, most of my main characters will tend to keep their anger under wraps at first. This is partly because they are in a kinda professional setting (they are pirates, yes, but ex-naval pirates!), but partly it's because I am like that too. 1/4

#WIPSnips I don't have "carrier" but this part is about mail carriers from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

#SumLuv Wasn't until my thirties, and it was the public library. I won't say which book because I HATED it and invented a drinking game about how bad it was. But I stuck with the genre and looked for what I actually wanted to read within it, because I knew I wanted to write it too.

#AugCharWork Daphne's flair: 🌴 she's half-dryad 💚 has green hair 😏 her POV is oversexed, but in a like... have you ever actually had sex?? kind of way 🌤 she's a weathermage, which is a bit OP but also unreliable 🪜 she loves to climb. Her mother didn't let her, but now she gets to climb rigging! 1/2

#WIPSnips "box" Fresh new bit just gone into draft three of A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️

#AwesomeCharacters If I'm staying with the whole Paxos crew, I would say Talos of Erapetra. A teen boy who was rescued from the Sack of Erapetra personally by Kallista (he's the last person she's able to pull onboard the Paxos in their escape), he's been angling to be her cabin boy ever since. 1/4

#SumLuv Let's start with Iona and Daphne this time 🦜💚🌴 because it's very simple for them. Lust at first sight, on both sides. Iona's thinking filthy thoughts from the jump (meetcute is in her POV) and Daphne is doing everything she can to encourage her. 1/3

#AugCharWork Daphne has a positive change arc. If we're getting specific about the six narrative arcs, it's the Cinderella. Her life improves by running away with pirates and finding love with Iona (WANTS). Then it comes back down as her personal issues jeopardise those nice things (NEEDS). 1/2

#SumLuv My meetcute for Kallista and Geni is seeing each other across a tavern. They vaguely recognise each other from the past. Kallista's wanted poster is up nearby and when Geni sees her walk in, she decides the best way to go wild in the Isles (as her friend Adelpha told her to) is to... 1/4

#AwesomeCharacters I have to get my silly answers out of the way cos they won't let me answer properly otherwise. The first thing that came to mind was Kallista writing "Apologies for my many crimes and shortfallings" and Geni writing a rebuttal "Kallista Audax did nothing wrong!!!" 1/4

#WIPSnips "thrill" from The First Mate and the Dryad's Daughter 🦜💚🌴 currently first drafting

#queerwriters goal share: 🏴‍☠️ keep revising/drafting my pirate ladies novels 🌓 working on my poetry too here and there 📋 two reports to write, and then I am fully wrapped on the play (not due til next month but still, get it out of the way) 🗓 solidify some plans, sense check with various senpai

#AugCharWork Daphne's a Fish Out of Water since she hasn't gone anywhere outside of the dryad grove. I see her as the Fool tarot card because she is a total noob with only hopes and dreams, about to step off a cliff. I also think of her as a Nature Witch in the Thirsty Sword Lesbians rpg system 1/2

#SumLuv For A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ our dual POV protags are Captain Kallista Audax and Doctor/Sister Eugenia 'Geni' Philistos (Enjoy this gorgeous art by @nushdeco.bsky.social ) Kallista was a naval captain until she witnessed her own country betray a treaty she helped organise. 1/6
