Atmais the Dragon Mimic (rough draft)

A long time ago, in what almost feels like a different world, I grew up with my grandparents. My grandfather owned and operated a small airport on the island where we lived. The island of Blackforte was a tourist destination, and the airport had two planes going in and out at all times. My grandfather flew one of the planes, while an old war friend of his operated the other. It was my dream to be a pilot like my grandfather one day.

I was practically raised inside that airport, often at...

Cielo the Magical Villan: Part two (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster (both cis)

It had been ages since you first set foot into the Bevilacqua Mansion. You were ten and terrified, having just obtained your powers, and were provided housing at the mansion while you fulfilled your duties as a magical girl. You and Alida were best friends instantly, but her older brother was bratty, mean, and jealous. He picked on you during that first y...

Selkie & the Beast: Part Four (rough draft)

Kota was knocked breathless by the appearance of his sister. He rushed out, forgetting how hurt his leg was or how hard it was to run on that rocky beach. Esperance’s family made such a racket, that he couldn’t hear Ivet yelling for him as she, too, made her way along the shore. Being wrapped up in her arms again relaxed Kota to such a degree that he could not help but weep in relief.

“I knew I would find you! I just knew it!” Ivet kissed his head and held him so tight, afraid i...

For the past few years you’ve worked as a mentor for up-and-coming magical girls. Having been one yourself in your youth, it’s really the only job you can get. Do you like it? Not really. Does it pay well? Not exactly. But you have a daughter to think about, and Honey takes precedence over your own ego. The girls are fine, but you really wish you coul...

Selkie & the Beast: Part Three (rough draft)

At night the sad songs returned, floating all around the moon castle and filling the air with their melancholy. Kota would often wake in tears, as his dreams were filled with a deep, unending loneliness. He would see the rocky shore not far from the castle and the song would reach out from the ocean, beckoning for a return that could not be.

It became too much one evening and Kota got up from bed. The heavy book that Muireann had given him slipped from the blankets and onto the floor. View Post

Lyneth the Orc: Part Two (complete)

I had seen the new pottery studio from a distance, as I wanted to keep from getting in the way before Lyneth and Llyr were ready to show it off. I knew how important a workspace was, and how personal it could be when creating the right one. When I arrived, Nicolai and Mila were already crafting something under Llyr’s tutelage while Lyneth was preparing the kiln. Her back was turned as I came in, and she was busy loading up the wood inside.

“Emmon, welcome,” Llyr said. “Have you ...

What’s a good November theme?

I’m trying to decide what to do for November mail outs. I’ve got a lot of stuff, but what would y’all like to see? Remember, October will be an orctober theme!

Selkie & the Beast: Part Two (rough draft)

There was a soft melodious sound in the air when Kota woke. He sniffled once and rubbed the tears from his eyes. The song he had fallen asleep to last night had given him dreams of loneliness and heartache. It was not too far fetched since he was now separated from his family by who knows how many miles. He sat up, paying attention to the song as it wafted in through the window.

Next to the bed Kota saw there was a walking cane propped against the frame. He took it and used it to help h...

Lyneth the Orc: Part One (complete)

I’ll admit it, working for the Polar royal family is intimidating. Working in the Polar is intimidating, period. Everyone here is so big, so prepared to face the harsh and bitter climate. As a halfling, I really don’t belong here, and I am reminded of that daily. Even the royal children are starting to grow taller than me now, and I have known them since they we...

Selkie & the Beast : Part One (rough draft)

Kota was born the youngest of four, as well as being the only male. Even with three older sisters, Kota was known as the most beautiful of his pack. This was something of a problem for Kota, who often received unwanted attention for his appearance. His sisters, all powerful hunters in their pack, often protected him. Ivet, Kari, and Nina often surrounded Kota when they traveled and hunted, keeping him safe while also warding off any unwarranted advances that may befall him.

I wake in the middle of the night and get out of bed. My sisters don’t even budge as I leave the room. I have to get some fresh air; my body feels hot all over from the dream I was just having. I stand on the porch and take a deep breath, then slowly exhale, but all I want to do is scream in frustration.

This heat I’m in is rough. I...

Ellis the Selkie: Part Three (rough draft)

Was it a dream? It was too good a conversation to have been real. Right? I must have been dreaming about it. But when I check my phone, I see everything there. Every word that I could remember was there as clear as day. The pictures too. Such lovely pictures.

I fell back in bed, rereading everything with a giddy excitement. It had probably been the best conversation of my life. Now all I had to do was wait for Ellis to text. I felt so anxious about it, I wanted to just sit and wait but ...

My family and I recently moved to a new village, after the land we’d lived on for generations was purchased by a nobleman and everyone evicted. An acquaintance of my father offered us a place to stay, but it required moving quite far. Most of the family had never traveled before, so the journey was quite arduous.

Story Idea: Side Hustle

There’s a powerful alien in space who believes there is nothing for him anymore. He’s so powerful and influential there is nothing that poses a challenge for him or gives him any entertainment. He gets the idea to create a challenge for him. Making special transformation items that give the users some of his own powers, he decides to place them on earth as a test subject. He sends one of his men down to deliver the items as well as act as a “destined mentor” to them. His original targ...

I had lost my breath upon that first kiss. I hadn’t expected it, and it was still a shock to the system. I knew I should have moved or done anything else, but I just kept going back for those kisses as if Ellis lips were water and I was lost in a desert. Now she was on top of me, looking down upon me like the cat with the canary. I really should have moved then, but I was curious to see what she meant by ‘eat me up’.

But then there was a knock on the boat.

They thought living in the country would be best for Bernadette. The time spent at her family’s summer home out near the lakes were some of the best times of her life, so surely rural living would be the best for her after what happened.

The house was surprisingly chilly, but there seemed to be no attempts at making it warmer, and Bernadette was surprised by the dust on the mantels and the claustrophobic rooms. She walked through the house, thinking she didn’t want it to...

It was disgusting. This ratty, almost skin like thing that I had found. I guess it had gotten kicked up from the gutter or tossed out from the trash bin, but it had found its way onto my stoop. It may have been a coat at one time, I’m not sure. It certainly had all the characteristics of clothing, it had just been through everything by the looks of it.

I’m not sure why I felt so bad for it. After all it should have just been garbage to me. But there was this little- I’m not sure w...

The glitter of the carnival calls to you each night. After that first visit, you can’t keep yourself away. You’ve been caught in a web of beauty, talent, and mystery that you really don’t wish to escape from, and Taeyung is the lure that keeps drawing you in. “I’m really glad you keep coming,” he says. He’s just finished a show, and is resting outside the big top with you. “I’ve never been great at making friends.”

Orc Girlfriend:Sonja 2 (rough draft)

Sonja’s truck pulls up into the driveway, and your excitement spikes again. All day you’ve been cleaning, organizing, doing whatever you can to make the house look nice. The bed is made - not that it’ll matter - and you even got a new comforter. It was a silly purchase, but it made sense to you.

You step outside as Sonja walks up the path with an overnight bag in one hand and a grocery bag in the other. You meet her on the steps, kissing her while she’s at the bottom so you’re...

The posters for the carnival have been plastered everywhere. It seems wherever you go, whether the cafe, the music store, or even the bus stop, there’s a poster for that carnival coming into town.

Selkie Boyfriend: Mikky 2 (rough draft)

Over the course of the past few weeks, I have been traveling back and forth for work. Our partnership with the Roderick Corporation was agreed upon, and I’ve been working with them to build up Selenis Cosmetics. Cece and I have also been hard at work setting up our new base of operations, as well as hiring new staff. It’s been rigorous to say the least, but I’ve never been quite so happy.

Then there’s Mikky. He was naked on the beach the first time I met him, which shouldn’t h...
