Let's do this #NovFamber for both Ronan and Pyra, who are both 15 in the 27th century and live in different worlds that are just kilometres apart...

Yay! Meet Alistair Seymour Rochester IV! Liam says, "He goes by Rocky. I would, too."

I was honestly trying to write an ostentatious rich person name I could think of, but apparently Alistair is a fairly beloved name; oops. "Rocky" still suits a bratty teenage computer genius better. #NovFamber

Looking forward to NovFamber! I honestly hoped some people would do even-numbered-day prompts someday to fill out the month (also I may or may not be lazy).

#OctoberWorldbuilders 29

My plan is to host #NovFamber and use it to develop Felix's family and backstory which is just... conspicuously missing in what I've developed for my story so far.

I haven't done any November writing challenges since the originator imploded.

#TimeTravelAuthors 31

Happy Halloween everyone, and thanks as always @juliebihn.bsky.social for hosting!

I'm running #NovFamber next month (even days only, so no conflict with #TimeTravelAuthors)!

Also, my #Juniplex posts on the Defenders of Fate are all out now; feel free to check them out!

#NovFamber 2

Okikura Ayumi 沖倉亜由美

Born in the mountains north of Himeji 姫路市 Japanese.
The name's origin is meta; I wanted a name similar to Okiku, a character from a famous Japanese ghost story. In-universe, they were born into Okikura family and given the name Ayumi.

#NovFamber 2

#TheDragonblood: Felix Pearson (initially he/him, later they/them) is a undergrad physics student at Cambridge, who is obsessed with all things fantasy, and plays D&D weekly with classmates.

#NovFamber 2
Pyra Yannas is 15, and lives in a Ghost Town, an 'outlaw community' that used to be all-female until 25 years ago. Her last name is a mothername, after her mother Yanna. She was already intense before being born, and was born with red hair, so a fiery name was fitting even then...

#NovFamber 2: These first four days are warmup questions. The goal is to work backwards from what you already know about your character to see what you can infer about their past.

Picked a new character you know nothing about? It's not too late to switch!

#Writing #WritingPrompt

#NovFamber is not specifically time travel-related, but it's to help build the family and backstory for one of your characters. I'm running it because I really need to work it out for Felix...

Introducing #NovFamber, a November prompt game for developing a character's family and backstory!

Already know your character at the time of the story, but are vague about how they got there? This is for you!

Question list is tentative! Feel free to suggest changes.

#Writing #WritingPrompts

I know @khonri.com makes prompt games mainly to help herself worldbuild. I'm starting to think I need to make a character family and background prompt game ( #NovFamber? ) just to give myself motivation to work out what the deal is with Felix's family and past, because it's a big gaping hole atm.
