In "Laughter of the Hunted Gods," my philosophical godpunk WIP, the gods debate the thorny problem of the human race.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #FantasyWriters

The Grand Pantheon sits assembled around the ornate marble table in the Home of Endings, Lord Feirr and Lady Phoë’s stately hall. Redolent of high summer, clustered bluerain blossoms tumble heavy from every rafter. Dozens of lesser godlings perch on high stones, lean against diamond pillars, or stand in smaller groups all around. Oloris never stops dancing, her feathered arms tracing swan-neck curves through the aether.
Slamming fists on the table, Ilgannan rises. “Human insubordination dares too much. I say we annihilate them.”
Elovia sets a hand against his forearm. “Even your warriors? What would you govern then?”
Nilashga points an accusing tentacle. “Your naked self-interest surfaces, dear sister. Without lovers, what would you govern? You would be adrift. I at least rule something almost as eternal as we ourselves are.”

From my philosophical godpunk WIP Laughter of the Hunted Gods, a rare scene from a divine POV—a local waterfall tutelar, delighting in her creation.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #FantasyWriters

From time to time, though, a day here, a century there, she feels the need to see her handicraft do more than send Paia’s stream tumbling over the precipice. Water brings its manifold joys, to be sure, but Xhanga loves it all: the water, the rounding pebbles, the leaves, the acorns, the silvery salmon, the little silly bushy-tailed things with their cheeks stuffed full of Vistroc’s bounties—each makes its own transcendent dance as it tumbles over the edge.
Xhanga claps her four hands with glee as a many-antlered elk, thinking it can outswim Paia’s powerful current, soars out past the precipice. For one glorious instant it can fly, and the arc of its flight fills Xhanga’s radiant heart with delight: she made this. She created the beauty of the elk’s flight, a gift to the great Lord of Endings and a work of transient art in and of itself.
Moons pass.

Vibes this time, from "Fables of Fire," a contemporary reimagining of Hansel and Gretel as small-town gothic queer magical realism.

Jonny's sister has been sleepwalking. He and his friend Tayenn try to figure out why.

“Caught her a few weeks back right downtown. Another time, just south of the station.” Jonny scratched the back of his neck. “Got calls from old man Hinckley, Luz—Peg in their yards. No rhyme or reason to it.”
“You sure about that? Maybe a pattern you just don’t see yet. Like that puzzle, the Garden of Paradise. Remember that quest?”
“Bro. Haven’t played in years.”
“Yeah, but okay, it was a big quest. Major. To find the path through the maze you had to answer questions, like where did this battle happen, and which NPC was the east wind, that sort of shit. Sick sword at the end, too, did like plus five fire damage.” Tayenn swung an imaginary sword. “One of the best weapons at that level, especially for a DOT build—”
“Dude. Focus.” Jonny shook his head, chuckling.
“Fine, yeah. But this—Maybe this is like that?”
“A fiery sword?”
“What I mean, like maybe it’s got a hidden pattern. Something you’re not glomming on.”

A prophecy changes when the court, the harvest, and the moon disagree about its deadline. Which system of time would your characters trust?

From my philosophical godpunk WIP, "Laughter of the Hunted Gods."

The first god ever captured.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #FantasyWriters

“The monster is a godling,” I say. “By the Dark Beyond, you’ve caged a god. Unprecedented! A minor one, a petty little thing, to be sure. Gharras would designate it a tutelar, I imagine. Does it have a name?”
Ennen shrugs. “We just called him The Wisp.”
“Not even a name,” I say. “A title. Likely its name is long forgotten. Still, this is a monumental achievement, Ennen. But—it eats children?”
Ennen nods. “Those eyes, he lures children off the path. They follow the flames and end up lost in the bog.”
The tutelar chooses that exact moment to hiss at us. The blue flames in its eyes flare up. Its teeth look too large for its mouth.
I master my unease and lean in. “Nonverbal, is it? So—incomplete consciousness.”

Does anyone here have experience using reedsy for sharing short stories?

I made an account there but I am not sure if sharing my short stories there is the brightest idea

With "lift" for elevator, here's a snip from my philosophical godpunk WIP, "Laughter of the Hunted Gods."

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #FantasyWriters

Four months ago he’d put in a request to move to a lower floor. So far it had gone nowhere. Most days he used the lift, but with the spark out, the stairs were his only option. What with the theft, facing down the thieves, and the adventure at the temple, he’d already had far too long and exhausting a day. The five-story climb at the end of that felt like a pointed insult.
