Xenacanthis is definitely that place in TY4LM. Unfortunately there isn't one single juicy description since our narrator experiences the place in bits and parts, but have a description of the market~

After some time (could have been seconds or hours, I wasn’t able to keep track very well), the tunnel widened into an expansive hollow. Above, strips of light embedded in the ceiling bathed everything below in something close to daylight in brightness. It took my eyes time to adjust. Balilan must have known that would be the case, because she stopped briefly and set me down, holding on to my shoulder to steady me.
‘You probably haven’t been welcomed yet, being fugitives and all,’ she said, patting my shoulder, ‘but welcome to Xenacanthis. A small part of it, anyway.’
I looked out at the expanse before us. Selachi dotted the area as far as I could make out, and they all seemed different. Some were big (not quite as big as Balilan, but compared to any human), some were small, smaller than me even. Their scales for the most part held to the cream or white stomach and gray or brown back pattern, but beyond that they were all unique. Some had markings that were similar shades as their impossible hair colors. Others, like Balilan, more resembled something you’d actually find in the ocean, if said creatures suddenly sprouted legs and became sapient. Most of them busied themselves in what looked to be like some kind of market. Goods were being exchanged, mostly for other goods or some kind of currency I couldn’t make out. Some lounged about near a large, steaming pool. A few looked our way. Looked at me.
They focused their attention absolutely anywhere else when Balilan caught their eye.

Whimsical Writers (Sept. 9th)!

If you're not able to find a whimsical description then just talk about a whimsical setting from a book series or show which you love.

Otherwise, all the information is in the task.

Background: A photo of a bramble with a white flower and blurry green foliage.
Foreground: Two yellow text boxes, a larger centred one and a smaller one beneath that which reads: "Photo by Ivar Leidus".

Many writers create whimsical settings such as Oda's Grand Line, Terrace's Boiling Isles or Pratchett's Discworld. Share a description of a whimsical place in your stories.

Ok, #WhimsicalWriters

I normally don't listen to any music as I write. I find it a little disruptive. But there was one book, Six-String City, where I needed to listen to music from a specific genre to nail the mood and feel.

Which leads me to mentioning Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. 🧵

This song by Snow White Blood. I love it for its dark gothic deconstruction of the Beauty & Beast trope. But its frightening; it makes me think of Heathcliff & Isabella (an abusive twist on the trope)

Using my SpaceBachelorette Playlist, the song I listen to the least is probably Internet Girl.

It's a hot mess of a song that I just can't listen to too often, but Evadne has a bit of a hot mess of a life, so it still feels appropriate.

I love this question!

For Fire to Flowers, I think it's Hummingbird by Eryn Allen Kane. It perfectly reflects how Tiferet stubbornly clung to her aspirations to a harmful degree, despite constant failures. But I have to be in the right mood to listen to that kind of melancholy.

@norashear.bsky.socialSep 8, 2026, 4:54 PM

This question is really tough b/c there isn't one I listen to the least. However, I occasionally skip the Quake Theme in the middle. The 1st half is my MMC's theme song, but the ambient ending isn't right for the rest of the book.

#WhimsicalWriters

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield.

I added it because it was part of a compilation that had the right vibe, but there's a few songs on it that I tend to skip. Worst offender is that one.

I love the song, actually, and it works so well. What pisses...

#WhimsicalWriters I thought long and hard about this one!

For TFTNG - more relevant to Lemon Balm but also carries through to Aloe: The Guide to Success by Joe Iconis

This song is SO fitting for Nekane/the status quo in the world. But it's not my favorite genre and I have to be in a specific mood.

@lockheartfiction.bsky.socialSep 8, 2026, 12:38 AM

How fitting, I just redid my playlist. I don't aim for it to match tone or mood.

This is my least listened to. The song is too engaging, and I get distracted. 🤣

#WhimsicalWriters

This is an interesting one~ Most of my songs are contained in one playlist, but there are a few I tend to skip. >.>''

One of those is Perfectly Perfect by Simple Plan, mostly 'cause it's very sappy and I'm very not. But it fits for how a certain character feels about someone~

@juliemarchbooks.bsky.socialSep 7, 2026, 11:53 PM

#WhimsicalWriters interesting question! I actually need to clean out my False Horizon playlist because it has a lot of songs that were only tangentially vibe-related when I added them. But my answer for this question is Machines by Jansen McRae. Explanation below

@pjccahill.bsky.socialSep 7, 2026, 7:11 PM

Clever question! OVERALL, the answer is that I chose the song to fit a mechanically important moment, but it never REALLY had my obsessive attention, so the song is simply THERE. To be specific: 🧵

#WhimsicalWriters, 9/7:

I mean the newest songs on my playlist are Risk and Trust Issues, both by Honey Revenge, and they just came out.

The one that I'm most likely ro skip through is probably just like magic by Ariana Grande. Because Ariana Grande.

@hsauthor.bsky.socialSep 7, 2026, 4:47 PM

Well, I haven't made a playlist for my current WIP yet, because I'm listening based on "vibes." So instead, I'll drop the song I've been repeating non-stop whilst writing for the past week. #WhimsicalWriters youtu.be/7b-VTfpGFUQ?...

@thebrambler13.bsky.socialSep 7, 2026, 4:35 PM

The songs I listen to the least from my Raven & Bear playlist is Home by Robert Grace. I think about it as a song from Sir Corbyn's perspective for Ata and how unworthy he feels of a daughter like her.
