@jeanniemarschall.bsky.socialQ4 -- since my WIP *has* horror around its romance, the threats are well-dressed, scheming, occasionally demonic, related to blood curses, or the Secret Someone following Unknown (Evil?) Plans of Their Own.
At least there is lots of cake too.

@jeanniemarschall.bsky.socialQ3 - The scariest thing that's happened to Tav was being unable to do a thing while a loved one suffered;
and for Philip, it was his family realising he had a new, wide-open weak spot they could use to make him obey.
Helplessness is terrifying.
#QueerWritersChat
@jeanniemarschall.bsky.socialQ2 - My MCs both enjoy horror when that horror is inflicted on bullies or abusers - Tav reads that with glee (and might just join in.) Philip with guilty relief -- and he sometimes flips to the showdown bc damned if he wouldn't like to be able to do that in his own life ... 😣
#QueerWritersChat
@jeanniemarschall.bsky.socialHello hello #QueerWritersChat!
I'm Jeannie (or Jay), central European scribbler.
My current project is a romance/mystery ft. a trans sorcerer and the neglected son of his folks' arch-rival family. Much illicit yearning. Gothic secrets. Huge fun!
@mrbronn.bsky.socialA couple different works but currently sprint editing an eco romance thriller a la The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton.
The Key Largo Effect is Hoot for adults and features an asexual lead toppling a beauty corporation destroying the Florida Keys
@ddwardiswriting.bsky.socialQuestion Three.
Blair? Blair's first solo hunt against a werewolf was terrifying and haunting.
Nadia? Nadia has seen and endured torments at the hands of the countess best left off the page.
@ddwardiswriting.bsky.socialQuestion four:
Blair? Something where she has to avoid blabbing a secret.
Nadia? Any physical threat. Nadia isn't a fighter. Even Ghostface from Scream.
@ddwardiswriting.bsky.socialQuestion Two:
Blair? She doesn't read it, but it's fine.
Nadia? She can't be scared by fiction, not after what she's been through.
Amy? LOVES HORROR!
Fiona? No. Full stop. Fiona can't handle horror.
Ren: mid strength horror fan.
@ddwardiswriting.bsky.socialWelcome to #QueerWritersChat!

Currently posting Captive of the Crimson Countess, a dark sapphic romantasy-horror with a vampire and a toxic love triangle.
@decayde.bsky.socialHere's the physical copy of my book!! #QueerWritersChat #writing
@decayde.bsky.socialFood, weather, keeping healthy, water. All of that is aside from the monsters. Also, each other. #QueerWritersChat #writing
@decayde.bsky.socialOne of them does! The other prefers romantasy and BL books, self insert fanfics, anything self indulgent. She thinks Stephen King is "basic" and is kind of a snob about it. #QueerWritersChat #writing
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialMy next short story for Raven & Bear will be published on October 16th at 18:30 (Welsh time). I hope all of you will check it out!
Of Dina & Dan: youtu.be/kixGRT6gjHQ
Spooky shenanigans help Ata to face her fears!
Earphoners, lower your volume.
#QueerWritersChat #Raven+Bear #audiobook #shortstory
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialDepends when. Ata in the first volume, plenty. Ata from ages 15-19... a fair bit. Ata as an adult, not much. By the time I reach this story's conclusion she'll have become a mightier warrior than even her father.
Which is a tall order.
#QueerWritersChat #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialFor Ata it's page one of my first story, The Knightbane's Prize. She wasn't always a princess by adoption or the page of Cambria's most renowned knight. Bear in mind that she's ten in this first story.
For Sir Corbyn, that's a spoiler.

![An excerpt from The Knightbane's Prize (Raven & Bear: 1) by Bramble.
Transcript:
The Knightbane’s Prize
Storms had flooded the castle courtyard for nearly a week. Despite this, an impressive crowd was gathered around a pillory on top of a small stage. A young girl dangled from her punishment, so short she could not stand while trapped in that wooden block. An older woman handed out spoiled food then invited others to throw it. Between this child and the downpour, none noticed when an old knight paused under a nearby archway.

@thebrambler13.bsky.socialI think Ata probably likes it fine, funnily enough I'm publishing a story from the collection next week which has some spooky shenanigans. I think she handles it all quite well but you'll have to wait and see.
It's called Of Dina & Dan.

@thebrambler13.bsky.socialHi #QueerWritersChat, I'm Bramble!
I babble and ramble about a collection of short stories called Raven & Bear for my Youtube channel. Set in a post-apocalyptic Wales, they follow a girl learning how to be a knight from her adoptive father.
