Hello all! Guess what--I am now on Vgen!
Also, as I am saving up for a big move out of this hellhouse and am in dire need of some extra pocket money, I'm opening four new commission slots.
More information can be found here: vgen.co/barrows
If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!

We are obviously biased because we publish novellas, but honestly, bite-sized adventures are perfect for these busy days!

Hey Bsky sweetie can you stop expiring my mutes every month? When I say "mute forever" I mean "forever", not until Claude decides to throw up again.
I have some terms in there that I'd much rather not have to look at with any degree of regularity, thanks. Almost like that's what a mute list is for.

The City of Two Skylines is book 3 in the First Light series. In it, as the Trilo's crew takes a day off at the eponymous City, a surprisingly romantic date at the museum goes sour as a heist turns into a hostage situation.
And even worse, they seem to be philosophically motivated!

#AwesomeCharacters
It's actually the other way around. Because main character names get established early, they are often my least favorite ones. But I'm also too used to them by then, so I also can't change them.
Luckily I don't fuss over names too much, or I'd be in a hell of my own making.

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters
Technical question today!
Do you save your favorite names for your major characters?
Have you ever shuffled a name you really like from a minor character to a major one so you can use it more prominently?

Hello, everyone! Argo here.
Robin and Rook will be the name I use across all social medias going forward. It felt like a good time to have a soft reset (:
Take care, & enjoy a new drawing 😊

#Conlangity
I did not survive, but I did learn a lot and it was a great way to ease me into the process!
This is probably as far as I can get with Tellari-Universal (honestly, positively surprised I came this far!), but with what I have I will be able to flesh out their culture even more 😁

We've made it to the end. Congrats to all who survived! 😂
I hope you won't stop here, but continue building your conlang in the future!
Today, you can tell us anything about your conlang that wasn't covered in previous days. Or, tell us how you plan to use it in your projects!
