@jules.northsky.socialFine, force me to worldbuild on the fly. The Galactic Investigation Service is probably on a megacity planet (think Coruscant). A file clerk for the GIS probably doesn't make a lot of money, so cheap apartment with a crummy view. Probably great street food though. #weeknightwriters #firstdraftfall

He lived in a cold prison with no one but his wounded and imprison family members since he was a baby. Never seen the outside world until adulthood and while cared for was seen even as an oddity among his kin.
@islanderscaper.bsky.social#FirstDraftFall: I have not named any locations yet so this is going to be vibes 😅
Both Evadne and Callum are living it a large city on the main planet in their system. Evadne is living in a very upscale part of it, while Callum is in a much more rundown neighborhood.
@aqua-loves-writing.northsky.socialUm, prison.
Forced to do some labor whilst unable to use any magic that could help her escape
Which she does!!!! Despite the horrors that persist
@totesmonke.bsky.socialPrince Rylan lives in a castle atop a hill looming over the citizens of Kalondel City, capital of the eponymous empire.
Food, clothes, education, every day he's only given the best in everything. It's a lifestyle he does not particularly enjoy but he's never known anything else.
@ambooneauthor.bsky.socialRoland lives in a tiny house in a tiny town in the Deep South. He's panicking because his father just died, his brothers all fucked off or died in WWI, so he has no support.
His life is spiraling out of control... at least his BFF offered to let him live with her in NYC (or SF).
@andria-kennedy.comCaly lives with the other Rejects in an Underground (metaphorical and literal) safe house.
She works as a bakery assistant for a shop that funnels information to the Underground (and makes a wickedly good eclair).
At least until Testing Day.
@jaxdevora.bsky.social#FirstDraftFall Arthur and Cedric share an apartment in Eldaven, the capital city of Eldana, a queendom steeped in magic. (It's specifically based on Victorian Europe, a mix of Paris and Amsterdam with a dash of London.) Arthur operates his business out of said apartment.

the novella i've been talking about takes place /after/ the Big Battle, so Samira's just been released from the dungeon at the start of the story. she's been staying in one of the makeshift healing tents ever since.

Jake was the only child in a lower middle class family, gradually drifting away from his messy but caring parents to the streets, where he was raised by Pat, a used car salesman, turned drug dealer. His father died young, hasn’t spoken to his mother in years.
@andria-kennedy.comCaly grew up in a quiet district of the city, "conveniently" located in the heart of the Underground.
Her fathers were both on the Roster, which meant every other year, they went into the raffle. When she was 12, they died the same night.
@elizmanderson.comMartha grew up in the same town in West Virginia where she still lives, raised by a mom & dad who didn't exactly understand her sexuality but tried to be supportive, but of course there's also her ghostspeaking and her migraines so they had a lot going on lol
@fallowfables.bsky.socialMy #FirstDraftFall project doesn't have a title yet, but I'm still really excited for it! (The summary is still a work in progress~)

@thepoetjean.bsky.socialAri (& his brother Angelio) was raised by oddballs in an immigrant community. Ari was raised by his parents + his two lesbian elder aunties. Ari's mother was a scientist and his father was a barber/hairdresser. His aunties are owners of the local tavern & apothecary. Odd but loved. #FirstDraftFall
