Wrestling a taboo relationship, with a large potential to be toxic, into a semblance of a healthy relationship for the greater good.

#WIPSnips today is from #TangWIP (OG Edition):

“Please?” Tang pouts, grabbing Artemis’ hand. “I know you like it too. Anything with a high [score] makes you giddy, you’re too competitive.”
Artemis can’t tell if that’s a diss or compliment, either way it’s true.

Short #TangWIP (OG Edition) snippet for today's #WIPSnips :

“I'm the leader because my [qualifying] scores were the best.” Then Lark flexes her arms more and Birc bites the inside of their lip.
The #WIPSnips word for December 8 is "qualify"

Don't forget to use the #WIPSnips hashtag when you post so others can find your snippet! I've seen quite a few posts without the hashtag the last few days.

#MayWeDance 25
Nothing from Succubus project for this, but #TangWIP is thriving with AU versions. Primarily a Fairytale AU and a University AU. Each AU considers a slightly different shape to the relationships in OG Tang. Each AU involves a little hint that they're connected in every universe.

I'll have to post some snippets here soon :)

Got a couple WIPs to talk about. I'll try to use these tags to organize stuff:

#TangWIP (slice-of-life about a catgirl named Tang, & Tang AUs. Throuple! MILFs!)
#SailsWIP (pirates! Sirens! sapphic!)
#FallWIP (Underworld! Werewolf! The love of Death(s))

Bit of a tricky one, since Tang is a natural flirt. When Tang likes someone her flirting gets shyer, not wholly reserved but the tone changes to uncertainty instead of confidence. And she's more willing to have conversations that don't involve flirtatious jokes.

In some ways, yes, others, no. Tang has broken hearts but that's rarely been her intention. Close friends that become too close, a flirtation that expects more or gets complicated, and then at least one of them is a little bruised. Changes a bit with Leto & Cory

Nothing published yet but a lot of my characters are trans! Or at least gender nonconforming. Or questioning.

My fave rn is Birc from #TangWIP. In Fairytale Edition they're the princeling (a pet name) who catches the attention of a handsome knight Tang. Synthesizes their own HRT with alchemy.
In honor of TDOV, tell me about your trans characters again! If you're a trans author specifically please also share your buy links below so people can find them 💖 #WritingPrompt

Tang never thought much about dating before she met Cory. She knows the classic dates everyone goes on: movies, dinner, etc. But when she tries them with Cory, they're not things she wants. She's still figuring out her ideal date night. She's happy to just be with her ladies

What's fun about #TangWIP being written in "episodes" is that there's a lot more flexibility for side stories.
My fave example is a few mentions of Birc doing summer training & making friends. It'll become it's own episode focus later (one of these friends has a connection to Tang.)

In #TangWIP (Fairytale Edition) we've got The Wolven.
Werewolf-adjacent. A decent amount of their history has been lost to time (like controlling their shifts).

Can (generally) shift anywhere on a human to full wolf spectrum with personal limits.
Leto (for now) can do about 15% wolf. Artemis, 100%
Everybody loves a beastie. Are there any special creatures in your book and what do they do? #WritingPrompt

Leto will gladly accept being called Mommy or Daddy 😉 either way she's a hot mom.

Really indulgent with all these AUs but most of them are just for fun and ways to explore relationship threads that can't be explored in the OG #TangWIP . There's a lot of romantic potential with most of the characters Tang connects to, but who she ends up with is heavily based on circumstance.
May 25, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Doing #TangWIP (og edition) again with the three sibs:

Artemis: chronically on time (much like her mother, Cory. Sticks to schedules)

Apollo: chronically late. (He gets distracted)

Birc: chronically early (also like Cory's true impulse to be early but without the restraint to only on time)
Who of your characters is: chronically late, chronically early, and right on time? #WritingPrompt

Bittersweet and conflicting emotions. Particularly in my #TangWIP (any version). The pain of a lost love that's been found again but isn't the same. Unrequited love that's so forbidden it becomes romantic friendship. Joy for loved ones when their joy is at great expense. Loss and rebuilding.
What's something small in your book that you enjoy romanticizing? #WritingPrompt

Leto reads but I haven't gotten to the point of assigning her a favorite anything, probably some universe-specific.
She enjoys nonfiction (in the university AU she's a history professor). But she probably also really like super complex epic fantasy & sci-fi. Books that make her think.
#TangWIP
Do any of your MCs have a favorite book? Is it a 'real' book or one that only exists in their world? What genre do they like? #WritingPrompt

First dialogue between Leto & Tang in #TangWIP (OG Edition). They knew each other a bit prior to this interaction:

"It’s lovely to see you, Tang. Unfortunately, Artemis and Apollo are out right now and I’m unsure when they’ll be back... Would you like some tea?”

“Tea would be lovely, Lady Khan.”
What's the first line of dialogue spoken between your MC and their love interest/bestie? #WritingPrompt

I don't use "cherry" much, so for this #WIPSnips we get a short snippet from #TangWIP (OG Edition) where Cory is taking care of a sick Tang.

Fantasy T-gel (alchemy trans-ing) as lube for a trans boy prince and a transmasc knight (who's also a princess)

March 14, 2025 at 3:01 AM
A lot of my characters are trans!
If I talk about all of them I'd be here all day 😅 so I'll focus on some from #TangWIP

Tang: trans masc. Part of the whole story (multiple arcs) is about Tang feeling safe and loved enough to start questioning gender instead of just sweeping it under the rug.
Tell me about the trans characters in your books! What are they like? What do they mean to you? #WritingPrompt
March 15, 2025 at 6:23 PM
Leto & Cory are the older ones in a "problematic" age gap throuple

Tang? So much 😅 She's a huge flirt even with people she really really shouldn't be flirting with (like her exes whose mother she married, or her sister, or her crush's son)

Vibe of #TangWIP (OG edition) is ✨️ problematic behavior ✨️
We're cancelling characters today. What do your MC(s) do that makes them problematic? #WritingPrompt
February 23, 2025 at 11:09 PM
Easy one first. In #TangWIP (the OG edition) Tang's a catgirl. 100% certainty that her cat-type (& fursona) is a cougar. Not because Tang *is* a cougar, but because the joke was too good to pass up. Both of her partners are older, hot MILFs so Tang being the literal cougar is funny. Inside joke
Uh oh, your main character has been assigned a fursona by the government. What animal are they? #WritingPrompt
December 10, 2024 at 4:30 PM
Tang is most afraid of not getting to live the life she wants, that's fulfilling to her. Thing is, that she isn't sure what that is.

Also, spiders. And, to a lesser degree, thunderstorms.

No "courtesy" for this #WIPSnips so I've gone with "polite" from #TangWIP (Fairytale Edition). King Leto interrogates Knight Tang (who definitely, absolutely, isn't a runaway princess from the neighboring kingdom of Solare. nope. /sarc)
