From WIP1 - These Words Remain Unsaid

Just like magic

#WIPSnips #QueerWriters #WritingPrompts #ATWRU #SapphicWriters #sapphicauthors #WriteSky #Sapphic

Julie arrived just before nine with two cups of coffee and a tired smile. She handed one to Izzy and then stared incredulously at the handwritten directions and fuzzy map printout.
"Hey, so why don't we use my GPS? I brought it from LA"
"I've never used one before," Izzy admitted.
"It's easy," Julie said, already retrieving it from the car. "You punch in the destination, and it tells you where to go. Like magic---except bossier."

#fuzzy from Far Worlds, Book Three of the Lonely Ship Saga.

'Fuzzy' is without a doubt Fei, a feline alien from a sort of space Bermuda Triangle. She's very touch-y!

Marcus found his way into her hair with his hand and stroked her tenderly. Fei made a pleased humming sound without realising she was doing it, and when her ears flicked playfully from the sensation of his touch, she knew she was tickling his chin with their fuzzy tips.“So, um, Fei?” said Marcus. His voice was muffled by her ears. “What did you want to talk about?”Confused, she pulled away so she could stare up into his eyes. His breath wisped against her face. “Talk?”“You said you wanted to talk, right?” he asked. “Up on the bridge?”“Hmm?” she said with a tilt of her head. “I did?”“Yeah.”“Oh. Um, then…”There was only one thing she felt the need to tell him, so she did, setting her brow fiercely and scowling up at him.“Too many girls, Marcus. You have enough, so stop finding more girls.”He stared, his lips parted. Cute. “Okay.”

In the moment Sam let go a sigh of relief, another buzzard swooped in, and with a fuzzy digitised squark, knocked the knight into the lava.

After the adrenaline began to die down, things became even more fuzzy. My memory of the events are left in pieces and fragments. According to Lusana, [Censored] had given me a nasty concussion.
Vague recollections of walking back through the tunnel were marred by conflicting memories of being carried by [Censored]. I could recall being helped out of the truck, but never getting in. At some point, after being laid down in a bed, I silently prayed that I would wake in the morning.

I think most people who've ever heard me talk about Jane already knows what to bait her with...

So let's get some guesses for Spiral! I'm pretty interested in what people think, just from looks alone!

#WIPSnips October 10 "fuzzy" (hazy)

From Australian of the Year

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

The orderlies failed in their attempt to corner the lizard, which deftly ran around them and out the door, the two men in fast pursuit. The doctor completed her checkup and left. Gary found his phone on the bedside table and typed in a message to Scott:
“It was all a bit hazy last night. I'm not sure what hospital I'm in, or even which town. I've a shrewd notion it's the Franz Kafka Memorial but I'll ask and let you know. If you can make it, please come and see me before I turn into a giant bug. If you can't get in, ask a lizard. They'll know.”
The message came back almost straight away:
“Look up!”
Gary looked up and saw that Scott was in the doorway.
“That was quick,” said Gary.
Scott chuckled. “I never left. If anyone asks, I'm your brother. I didn't think they'd let me stay if I wasn't family.”

Sorrel smiled dumbly up at the roof of his tent. Only one side of his vision was clear, the other was fuzzy. But that didn't matter. He would have gladly gone blind for that. Permanent eye damage wasn't new to him anyway.
Lu's face came mostly into view with a proud, crooked grin. He fixed Sorrel's glasses (his vision came back fully into focus) before softly kissing him several times, cradling his face with his palm.

Today's #WIPSnips is "fuzz" instead of "fuzzy"

In which Paige is slowly figuring out who's kidnapped her.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

A dark image with white text that reads:

For a moment, she could have sworn she heard their heartbeats, the breath whistling in their lungs. Then her own thudding heart overrode whatever noise had deceived her.
The group stared at her, then someone with watery blue eyes, pasty skin and graying hair raised an eyebrow.
"Even awake, she don't look like much."
Another with lanky dark brown hair and sallow skin snickered. "Can't imagine why anyone'd want a girl who looks like the back of a toilet."
Paige's head felt like it was floating away, miles away from her body. Dammit. I can't let these goons get the best of me. She bit the inside of her lip hard, hoping the pain would clear her mind. As she grimaced, the fuzz in her mind finally starting to clear, the goateed goon with brown eyes sighed.
"Who are we to say otherwise? The ways of Her Holiest aren't for us to know." The goon pointed at the one with the graying hair. "Now go get him."
The graying goon spit on the floor, then skulked out the door.

- From NO SKY LIKE MIDNIGHT, by Nora Shear

The word "fuzz" is in bold pink text. There are star decorations in each corner and a meteor decoration above the text.

October 10th – fuzzy

Fox might have almost died. Just a little.

#DawnsBlood

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Besides, thinking was somewhat beyond her, at the moment. Her head throbbed. Actually, her entire body throbbed, her head was just the worst offender.
Fox tried to sit up, but couldn’t quite muster the strength to do so, so instead she sank back onto the bed with a groan.
There was a scrape of chair legs on stone and a moment later Av’ry appeared at the bars, a stern-faced guard shadowing his steps.
“You’re finally awake! You really had me worried this time, Fox,” he said.
“I’m not dead, then?” she croaked. “I wasn’t certain.”
“Not quite. Though it was a close thing.”
She could tell. Heavy-duty healing left a mark, and she had been subjected to it often enough to recognize the familiar ache. Not just the mending of a trifling wound, either. Someone with skill had reached into her every vein, power burning through her like a wildfire.
It wasn’t an experience she would ever recommend. It was better than being dead, but only by the slimmest of margins. If you had a low pain tolerance, it could easily tip the other way.
“What exactly happened? I’m a little fuzzy on the details.”

He pinches the light with his thumb and forefinger and stretches it, putty-like, until it’s long and fibrous. Then he loops it over his finger and shapes it into a tiny knot.
He flicks it in my face.
I sputter and sneeze. My head fills with a warm, fuzzy glow.
“What’s the Moth King planning?” he asks.
“I don’t know,” my mouth replies.
Shit. My brain did not authorize those words.

For your character(s), what do others see them as externally, verses how they really are internally? ( ◡̀ ̫ ◡́) ✧

Outside: Kyo Sohma
Inside: Surprised Pikachu

Rein's entire character arc is basically:
"Wait... people were emotionally attached to me??"

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Anime character Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket sitting in a crouch while engulfed in exaggerated flames. Used to represent Rein's external appearance: stubborn, guarded, tired, and perpetually one inconvenience away from physically combusting.

Meme Pokémon card featuring Surprised Pikachu. Used to represent Rein's inner self: constantly shocked to learn that people are legitimately worried about him, care deeply about him, or have become emotionally attached to him despite his repeated attempts to distance himself from them. It never works.
