Hey all, tell me about your WIPs!

Reblog this post with a description of your current wip(s)! I’d love to learn more about them.

I feel like I’m missing some awesome projects in the mess that is tumblr! I want to hear all the things!!!

You have no idea what you have unleashed but okay. WIPs? I got a few for ya.

An Ex-Saviour’s Guide to Life After: Witches, wizards and that kind of thing are a dime a dozen. Magic is an everyday part of life. It’s used to cook, to clean, to repair. It’s taught in every school, bought and sold in every shop.

Once in  a generation,  a “saviour” is prophesied to arise to defeat a great evil. Sometimes that evil isn’t always what it appears to be. Sometimes it’s global warming, sometimes it’s an eldritch being.

Aubrey Ordifale was the previous generation’s saviour, fated to die after their encounter with the eldritch being, Diabolos. However, something went wrong.

They didn’t die.

Over fifty years later, tired and bitter and maybe a little angry under their apathy, they live in an apartment and work in a coffee shop. Few remember them as being the saviour and they don’t care enough to mention it.

Until the world is in need of another saviour.

Follow the Stars and Hope They Give You an Answer (shortened to Follow the Stars): Being the goddess of the stars, astrology, astronomy and pretty much anything relating to space is all fun and games until you get stuck babysitting the sun god’s teenage brats whilst on a global road trip with the guy himself trying to find out how to prevent their imminent deaths.

Chóros, call her Astra, never should have walked into that bar. She should have never locked eyes with Apollo, drunk Apollo at any rate. She also should have never met Cyrus and Eliana Hickey, wasn’t that an unfortunate last name, and she most definitely shouldn’t have agreed to look after them.

It was a good thing the sun god was cute.

(Featuring a goddess who drinks too much coffee, two teenage sun children and the sun god himself in a comedic road trip across countries with a side order of romance and a plot that was abandoned at the first diner they stopped in)

Counting Down the Years: Time travel isn’t all exciting trips to the past, escaping life or death situations and solving some of the greatest mysteries of mankind.

Sometimes, it’s making the clothes the ones that actually go back in time wear look authentic. Sometimes, it’s making sure they get their shots so they don’t contract the plague and die. Sometimes, it’s maintaining the equipment used and making sure it doesn’t blow up.

Or: a story about time travel, told by those who will not go back.

Summer Citrus and Chilli Peppers (or: that one I named after paint): It isn’t easy being an artist in the city. It isn’t easy being an artist anywhere but there’s something about the city. There’s the going weeks without eating anything healthy for one and the house with the leaky roof for another.

But Amanta Sìthiche is nothing if not determined.

Armed with a head full of fantasies, a weasel for a roommate and a fridge that never runs out of oranges or spicy peppers, she’ll make it through.

She has to.

Apartment 34: Fire, Water, Earth and Air get an apartment together. Or something like that.

Muriel Holton, a swimming instructor who just likes to stay under the water for hours on end. Pele North, a bartender whose hair tends to go up in flames when she’s pissed off. Skye Angeles, a painter whose love of flying causes more than a few problems. And finally, Laurel Tremaine, a gardener who makes her life easier by manipulating the earth.

With appearances from Pele’s sometimes boyfriend, Laurel’s girlfriend and Skye’s old fashioned parents.

Really, it sounds like a bad sit-com.

Ok these all sound amazing I can’t even begin! I love the idea of a worn over savior (and I have a monster in my story called a Diabolo too!)

Also time travel, but with the mundane aspects that suck? Sign me up.

And I would totally watch that bad sitcom of Apartment 34. Like serious it would be great I think.

All of these sound phenomenal. Seriously sign me up and tell me more!

Lmao, okay!

I can direct you to a few posts about them.
