@inkandashes@lgbtqia.space I have a tendancy to write fantasy stories, previously fan fiction, this is my first attempt to build my own world from a very limited starting point. My 3 characters started in a D&D game years ago, and now now they want their own full story. I'm not 100% sure where it is going yet, that is part of the fun, but I do know that the two women are very fond of each other, and their new goblin companion doesn't like "biguns", is going to completely change their opinion of goblins, and is on their own journey of self discovery (which I was not expecting). I always seem to have some initial dialog and a picture in mind, then my brain nags at me to write it. My favourite with this one at the moment is convincing the goblin to have a proper wash in the river, that resulted in a draft sketch with a panicked goblin and one of the women doing a handstand, naked in the water, so you can only see her lower legs and feet, showing off the mud between her toes to convince the goblin that it's safe. Once I have an idea I do plan and research, but then my brain goes off on a tangent and I have to figure out how to make it all work! 😁

@teafutures@lgbtqia.space That sounds like a cool story! I love that little sketch you shared! I've never really done d&d though played boardgames and video games based on it. It's a fun world, and I think an amazing teaching tool in how to construct stories bout things you love. Cool that you wrote fanfiction too! Fanfiction about tv-series/ books/ .. ? I tried to write some things in the past, and microfiction & flash fiction works fine for me, ans I kind of like doing it. It's little stories (sometimes a brain dump too lol), but I can then adapt them in drawings and such. I once tried writing something longer (30 chapters planned) I actually reached writing 17 or so, but I realized there were so many things wrong with it that it's probably best not to continue it in that way. It was a kind of magic realism/ soft fantasy story with symbolisms in it but I wrote it non linear. Rereading it afterwards I came to the conclusion that it was difficult following the narrative. I'd like to adapt it somewhere in the future, but not in writing, probably in a comic as I'm more familiar with managing the pacing.
