Decide to create a map for it in Inkarnate. 13. Create new pen name and set up in Mastodon 14. Consider creating website and buying domain. Defer due to lack of funds. 15.

Vale Nagle 🏳️‍⚧️Here's a fun typo that's specific to creature fantasy authors. If you pluralize opinicus as opinici instead of opinicuses, do a search for "opinici" in your manuscript and see how often you accidentally used that form as an adjective. It should be "opinicus lovers" and not "opinici lovers."I've edited maybe twelve gryphon-adjacent creature fantasy books at this point, sometimes just doing a proofread as a favor, and the moment I see an opinicus show up, I perform that search and I always catch something.Funnily enough, I'm not sure where using opinici as an irregular plural began. During the early days of the pandemic, I replayed some old 90s video games for fun, and I was surprised to see the irregular plural even back then in lines like "Feral opinici and masterless golems roam the highlands. They would make a valuable addition to our army" in Ogre Battle: Person of Lordly Caliber.And if anyone doesn't know what an opinicus is, it's a different type of gryphon. The heraldry definition is any gryphon who lacks external ears, but it can also mean a male gryphon (in heraldry, that sometimes means without wings, or with light spikes for wings). Really, though, in modern fantasy, opinicus is the most common term for when you have two species of gryphons in the same fantasy setting.In GryphIns, the series leans into the lack of external ears and makes opinici more-avian gryphons. In Feathers & Flames, it's the opposite: the opinici are fully feline gryphons and even have kitty ears.It's a popular secondary gryphon species term for a reason: the other gryphon 'cousins' all have goofy names like keythongs or alces!Anyways, if you're writing opinicus books, which you should, do a quick search for opinici and see if you accidentally used it as an adjective somewhere. Most likely, you did! And if not, you're a better writer than I am =]<a href="https://meow.social/tags/creaturefantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#creaturefantasy</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/writingcreaturefantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcreaturefantasy</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amwriting</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/amwritingfantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amwritingfantasy</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/gryphins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gryphins</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/gryphoninsurrection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gryphoninsurrection</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/dire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dire</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/feathers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feathers</a>&flames <a href="https://meow.social/tags/blackbeak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackbeak</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/opinicus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opinicus</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/opinicuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opinicuses</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/opinici" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opinici</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/opinipodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opinipodes</a>

Orion (he/him)... and often as not, certain artists use it as an excuse to *be* unpleasant to others in yet another variation of the old "I'm a genius, so I *get to be* an asshole." It's hogwash.

Jürgen HubertOne thing I am struggling with in my translations of 19th century German folk tale is how to translate the pronouns for a child of indeterminate gender.In Germany, "Kind" is a "neutral" word, and the usual pronoun is "es" - the counterpart of the English "it". But I am not sure if "it" is the proper pronoun to use in this context.So what is appropriate here? Note that I am talking about texts where there is _no_ other clue to the child's gender!<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#translation</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amwriting</a>

River CrowSome short little scenes, based on writing prompts from over on Tumblr (the "Rook's Roost" community). CW for injury - nothing too graphic, but some blood.
