@radium26.bsky.social📚 Sport is actually an area of lore I’d like to expand on for the #RadiumAge but I’ve yet to do so. I don’t really know why but I could see Eddy being pretty good at football/soccer ⚽️ to the point she’d likely end up carrying the team 😅
@radium26.bsky.social📚🪐💙
I’ve been writing a #RadiumAge science fiction series over on #ao3
There’s a link below to everything I’ve released so far including the novel-length ‘Gangs of the Radium Age’ & five short ‘Tales’ (with more planned) 😁 I hope you enjoy!

@radium26.bsky.social📚 Would lore snippets be interesting to post? Little bits of worldbuilding from my #RadiumAge setting 🤔

@radium26.bsky.social📚🪐 “Darcy hasn’t been this nervous since her first day as a copper, when she stared down the long shadows of her beat, lost and alone and small beneath the feet of concrete giants…”
From my new Tale from the #RadiumAge
@radium26.bsky.socialAbsolutely! Eddy wouldn’t be much of a detective if she wasn’t curious. She’s driven to uncover the truth because it’s her job but also, on a personal note, she really doesn’t like leaving a case unsolved.

@radium26.bsky.social📚🪐 I’ve officially written over 100k words in my #RadiumAge setting! I’m really proud of what I’ve managed so far and looking forward to what’s next 😁

@radium26.bsky.social📚🪐 Darcy Triggs is the newest detective in the City of Great Britain. Follow her and Eddy Smith as they tackle an old case in the ‘Long Shadow of Doubt’ - the latest ‘tale’ from the #RadiumAge

@radium26.bsky.social📚 That’s a tricky question and Eddy’s even trickier. I think she has a sense of honour but perhaps doesn’t realise it. She’s committed to doing what she believes is the right thing but she doesn’t always understand that it’s because of her sense of justice.
@radium26.bsky.social📚 I substituted “fuzzy” for “hazy” but here’s probably the final #WIPSnips for this ‘tale’ from the #RadiumAge - I’m so close to being done with this one that I’m getting impatient 😅
@radium26.bsky.social📚 Almost nearing the finish line with this one…
#WIP #Writesky #WritingCommunity #ShortStory #Dystopia #RadiumAge
@radium26.bsky.social📚🪐 When it comes to shooting, definitely Conrad 🥇 (though Eddy’s not too shabby with a gun either). He saves her life a couple of times but Eddy gets the shot in when it really matters in ‘Gangs of the Radium Age.’
@radium26.bsky.social📚 Already made some changes to this scene as I’m working on the piece. The good news is the end is in sight and that this next ‘tale’ will easily be my longest yet. Stay tuned!
@radium26.bsky.social📚 Eddy and the new girl are on the case…
#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Writesky #ShortStory #RadiumAge
@radium26.bsky.social📚🪐 Jewellery is frowned upon in the city for stuffy ideological reasons. So Eddy doesn’t wear any & even if she could I’m not sure she would because of her upbringing. Maybe something low-key & “practical.”

@radium26.bsky.social📚📝 Well, a magpie isn’t a lizard but here’s a snippet from my next ‘tale’ all the same…
@radium26.bsky.social📚 The next ‘Tale’ is looking like it’ll be a long one. In the meantime, here’s a link to everything written for my #RadiumAge series so far…

@radium26.bsky.social📚 So this sort of thing happens in ‘Gangs’ - Conrad takes Eddy to their world’s equivalent of a Michelin star restaurant, so she’d definitely appreciate that (especially if money is no object). She’d treat herself!
@radium26.bsky.social📚 The start of the newest ‘tale’ from the #RadiumAge - another detective snippet from my #dystopian #scifi ‘city of tomorrow.’ This one’s tricky as it features a lot of prejudice (& I want to do it justice in the depiction) but I do love a challenge.
@radium26.bsky.social📚 🪐 Eddy’s the sort of person who’d *like* to have a plan but doesn’t always get the chance to put one into action. When there’s twists and turns in the case, sometimes the best she can do is improvise…
