In #SailsWIP Cay really thinks she's some kind of chosen one or something but really she's chosen (by me, the creator) to be entirely average but like... confident about it. Which is why she needs a wife to put her in her place (thanks Lyra)

Give a basic overview of your deities. (Keep in mind we'll be going into more detail about one of them later)

To go with #SailsWIP :
Most of the characters go against social norms. Sabre and Cay both left their family homes to become pirates. Lyra took a different route away from status quo & ended up as a cursed siren.
The only followed expectation is Lyra and Cay's marriage (per the siren's curse)

In the world of #SailsWIP you don't get a good look at all the religions. Their magic and gods are real, most people are polytheists. Most gods have a cult dedicated, at least partially, to worshipping them.
The Goddess of Flame and The God of Youth get a lot of attention

Writer trouble lol:
When the non POV character is a girlboss but she plays the "I'm just a girl" manipulation tactic too well that the POV character believes it... which means she comes across *not* as a girlboss... so now I think I've got to do at least a bit of dual POV.

Getting ahead of myself while I work on some edits, but I absolutely think I'd love a next book with these characters but like, Cay gets to be "the most important one" in that book. Just because I'd be amused to see Cay take a backseat after book one is the Cay show

#FallWIP: $13. Two antagonists & an unfortunate guy stuck in the situation with MC.

I have a decent amount of characters I'd consider bi/pan & plenty of them would switch between those labels.
Best example is Captain Cay in #SailsWIP. She certainly leans sapphic, and would even admit that. But when asked preference she just shrugs. She likes whoever matches the right vibe for her.

Feb. 4: "Land" Snippet
Keeping it brief with a snippet from #SailsWIP not too worldbuild-y, but I appreciate the comedy of this line:
“I'm watching for signs of life, you get land. Land is boring,
it doesn't even go anywhere.”

I can't really think of a wip I have right now where no side characters get a happy ending.
Particularly in #SailsWIP (and the sequel I'm trying to outline). Not all of the side characters get a happy ending but more than a few do. One even gets to tell her story next.

that a fun little extra for #SailsWIP fans (once I publish) on like a ko-fi/patreon-like system would be to write out all of Sabre & Cay's letters to each other. Especially the ones after they've admitted their feelings.

Cay and Ursus do a lot of arguing and a LOT of flirting (while threatening each other).
While Ursus might want a different captain to follow, Ursus does not truly want Cay dead. Ursus kinda wants to prevent Cay from making Ursus' mistakes and distancing herself from love and family

Ursus is distanced from most blood family tho Ursus' chosen name still reflects the family.
The youngest pirate aboard is Arcan, Ursus' son. Details of Arcan's conception don't appear in #SailsWIP.
Ursus doesn't know how to raise Arcan though there is protectiveness. Those duties fall mostly to Cay.

i should clarify that the setting is a huge messy fantasy world/universe. i wanted complicated issues to infect the worldbuilding & characters. This is just one example.
In #SailsWIP it's more of a backdrop/texture to the world
In #FallWIP it's more prevalent but MC is more preoccupied with death
