A Bit of Midwinter Worldbuilding (Join Me?)
I love reading urban fantasy, and I've been wanting an urban fantasy world to play in--er, write in. But I don't have an urban fantasy world designed yet. I want something different, with magical beings that suit my personal sense of whimsy. A world different enough to let me challenge my characters with a different set of dilemmas.
I finally have the start of an idea for a world, and want to do some world building. I'd also like to give all of my patient readers a bit of a present.
I'm a cat lover, so there will be cats, probably a lot of them. Not only cats, of course, that would be too predictable. There will be ephemeral beings, and bright colors, beauty and danger, and quite possibly dragons, or maybe something else altogether, but ancient and strange and powerful.
So, if you want to play along and give me a bit of a Midwinter Gift, you can offer words, thoughts, questions, images or songs; my gift, for each of you that do so, will be to pick at least one to inspire me and offer some small glimpse into this world, a vignette or ficlet (at least 100 words), poem or song, or perhaps a bit of art.
Whether you play along or not, I hope you have wonderful Midwinter Holidays, and a marvelous New Year.
Technical difficulties prevent me from sharing a snow picture or two right now; later!
For now, let's get started!
