Joining https://www.wattpad.com/story/410759575-the-olds-awards-2026 by @theolds with The Wildflower of Cante.  Check out the work and the contest!

I have a book idea that while technically still existing within my shared universe would go in a completely different and unprecedented direction : the deep past.
          
          Conceptually, I'm thinking about the trend of non-magical fantasy worlds.  Or the idea that there once was magic that no longer exists. This brings me to the land of Cante (alt future UK) in 2044.
          
          This is a world where certain modern trends have escalated and the world feels lonely, technologically overbearing and not very magical...
          
          For instance, ecological collapse has made food rarer around the world even as populations have climbed leading to a series of civil wars that have destabilized most of the world's major Nations as the people in the cities flooded out into the arable countryside, often fighting its inhabitants for their property as they came. Cante has avoided this a by being an island Nation that has always cared about preserving a certain amount of greenery, but also through excessive and mandatory use of GLP1 inhibitors.  They put Ozempic in the water (a strong parallel to victorian fasting culture).
          
          The protagonist's friend is a historian and both of them are interested in the idea that the world once contained Magic.  So the protagonist finds a way to travel into the past... And decides to bring their historian friend with them traveling to the late Victorian era just before the industrial revolution (late 19th century England).
          
          And while they do find a certain amount of unexpected magic here, ultimately the people of that time. Tell them a familiar story : Magic used to exist, but something changed.
          

Let’s be mutuals! <3

Hello  I was wondering if you'd be interested in RfR and CfC. what do you say.
           
          

I've finally convinced my fiance to publish something, it's really good. You should go support her work !
          
          Link will be in the comments

Okay, I'm releasing something today that I've been putting off.  It's really short and it's going to be the beginning of basically a book of just random short stuff that's not necessarily related to the rest of my work. 
          
          The first published piece definitely requires a bit of a disclaimer. You're take caution in reading it if you struggle with suicidal thoughts because it is me exploring my own struggles with that. The way that I get through this may not work for you. But if you do start reading, I encourage you to finish if only for closure. 
          
          But for a lot of you, maybe you shouldn't start reading it to begin with. 
          
          I struggle with imposter syndrome especially in social situations. It gives me a tremendous amount of social anxiety. I feel and have always felt like a bit of an alien like I just wasn't like all the human beings around me. 
          
          This has always made me feel like I would never be able to do the things that humans do, having a friend or a best friend or being in love or just being able to talk to people at a bar or something... I always feel so incredibly self-conscious that someone is going to figure out that I don't belong because I don't feel like I belong and I never have.
          
          This is all incredibly hard for me to deal with on a daily basis, but I struggle through and I do have anchor points that help ground me and help keep me away from The logical conclusion of these thoughts.
          
          I don't know if anyone else is out there dealing with the same things but you are valid. You are human and you are worthy of love, respect and friendship. 
          
          It's going to be okay, I promise. You just haven't made it to the end of your story yet, so don't give up on it before you get to write a happy ending.

I'm now officially in the LGBT Awards :)

Hey XD,
          
          I remember you asked me on Reddit about finding a community, and at the time I didn’t have one, so I couldn’t really help.
          
          But I’ve been part of this one for about three weeks now, and aside from one small issue, I’ve been having a great experience.

          Take a look if you’re still searching. 
          It's huge and it has different clubs depending on what you’re looking for. (you can join multiple.)
          
          I’d honestly love for you to join — your professionalism and the quality of your writing would fit in really well.
          
          No more getting ghosted in R4Rs =)
          
          I’m not sure if it works better than joining a bunch of contests, but it’s definitely helped my story. 
          Also, almost all the books I’ve read from members (like 99.9%) are really good and worth learning from.
          
          Cheers!

@JackieFoxWrites Congratulations. Have a good day ahead. 

Hi there, I hope you are having nice time during judging. I would like to request if you can read the latest chapter of my book and tell whether I've improved or not.
