Ohh! Why, certainly, I'll yap about the characters I love to hate in my WIP #Ellamir! 😈
There are two main antagonists who are in the story from the beginning, or maybe three, depending on your criteria. Some more will appear in the third volume, though...

Hullo 😊 I'm Cameron, and I'm writing a Jane Austen inspired Regency romance x high fantasy crossover titled #Ellamir

Hi hi, #WIPSnips!
Today's snippet from #Ellamir sees the odious Brother Nicholls showing his true toxic colours upon making Hannah the worst marriage proposal ever, and being refused, which it seems he finds difficult to believe...

Welcome to the Midweek, WIPperSnippers! 😊
Unsurprisingly for a Regency-style story, today's #WIPSnips word appears incredibly frequently as part of the words "gentleman" or "gentlewoman" but I've chosen this passage introducing our MC #Ellamir Oakhall
#WritingCommunity #BookSky #IndieAuthors
An excellent #WIPSnips for me today, with lots to choose from, considering how often, in #Regency romances, someone is made an offer of matrimony.
We return today to Hannah & Maqine's "first date" - taking tea in Maqine's cute cottage

Why, hello #WIPSnips! I hope you have a great week in store!
In today's snippet from my WIP #Ellamir, Hannah has her first experience of magic - the ethereal influence of the Elven goddess Aistra - and then feels magic of another kind...
It's a ✨vibe✨ for today's #WIPSnips!

Hi hi #WIPSnips!
Appropriately for the spring months, here's a snippet from the turning of the season in Upthorpe Thoroughborne.

This approach has been effective in keeping dissent quiet (at least publicly) and compliance with the Order and attendance at its temples are widely accepted as necessary for respectable citizens. However, a series of events in the story of #Ellamir is about to put their supremacy in peril...

Another week, another #WIPSnips!
I've posted this before, but it always seems to get nice comments so here we go again!
Ella is revisited by a curious occurrence from her childhood, in a sequence called "Stardance" that has given me a lot of trouble, but I plan to finish it this week!
#Ellamir
Welcome to another week, and another #WIPSnips!
Ella is trying to locate Hannah after the incident at the school, and has her first encounter with a dwarf, whose use of Theanglian slang is somewhat questionable...

The setting of #Ellamir is pre-industrial, but only just - most raw materials are obtained through trade. Humans trade with dwarves a lot - they exchange produce and textiles for mined materials such as iron, but whether this is sustainable in even the near future is in doubt

Hullo and Happy Friday, #WIPSnips! 🎉
No pursue (oddly, it's a word I tend to use) so I've gone with 'follow'. Ella and Hannah are discussing their new neighbour, and Ella makes the first inroads into a theme of the story I'm calling "found feminism" 😆
From my Regency romance x fantasy WIP #Ellamir
The most notable injury suffered before the story of #Ellamir starts is mental - Ella's father has severe mental trauma, but how it happened is a huge spoiler so I'll have to keep shtum about that. Unfortunately, mental illness is not well understood in Theanglian society

Hullo #WIPSnips. It's been a bit.
More from my Regency Romance X High Fantasy crossover WIP #Ellamir. Ella demands to know more about Hannah's first encounter with Maqine.

Let's go, #Marchistics!! This is a detail level I'm super into!
Hi hi, I'm Cameron - I'm writing a Regency Romance x High Fantasty crossover novel, #Ellamir, and because I'm a bit late to the party, I need to catch up from yesterday.
Big shout out to @khonri.com for hosting! 💙

Welcome to the weekend, everyone! Hope you all have some quality downtime scheduled 🙂

Hi hi, #WIPSnips and best wishes for the weekend! 💖
The rumours about the incident at the school (not to mention Maqine's appearance!) are getting somewhat out of hand, while Ella has no actual idea of what has happened to Hannah
From my #Regency #Romance X High #Fantasy crossover WIP #Ellamir
Hi hi, and Happy Friday #WIPSnips! 😊
This has been posted before, but it's the one and only instance of 'corner' in the whole draft so far, and also, it's a rare bit of the tricky Stardance sequence that I don't hate
From my #Regency #Romance X High #Fantasy crossover #WIP #Ellamir

Trivial magic use by everyday folk is frowned upon by the Brothers of the Order of the Lady of Purity, and their disapproval has been largely successful in suppressing it in Theangal. However, incomers to the nation are seen to use magic in small ways in #Ellamir

Good to be back on #WIPSnips after a few days' break!
After the violent magical upset at Mrs Knight's school, Commander Merely is able to bring some rationality to the wild rumours that are spreading about the village

Like most well-to-do Theanglians, Ella prides herself on being law-abiding and respectable, but through the storyline of #Ellamir, she will realise that some laws must be questioned, others ignored, when they infringe upon personal liberties for no good reason
🧵1/2
Over time, though, religious disapproval of magic (starting in the reign of Queen Marielle) led to a lack of practice among the general public, continuing mostly through the military industrial complex which, by the time #Ellamir is set, has made Theangal a fearsome force to be reckoned with

I know I've posted this a lot recently, but honestly, no other snip from #Ellamir would do
Having made a Hannah super shitty marriage proposal and been angrily rejected, odious Brother Nichol resorts to using magic to make her accept him
CW: attempted forced marriage
The event seems to be corroborated by the sage elf Taluniel in #Ellamir, telling Ella that once, the elven outpost of Falinen was sited on a mighty tidal river until the seas fell; the great stone quayside still stands like a monolithic cliff amid the deep foliage of the Faewood.
🧵3/4
Later in #Ellamir, we will encounter more traditional wielders of magic who are approaching mastery in one or two disciplines. Anybody who approaches mastery in *all* of the disciplines is liable to catch the attention of the intelligence services and probably be deemed a threat to the state

Why hello again, #WIPSnips! I have the variation "defensibility" today
Lady Lamont holds court at her morning 'at-home' on the subject of threats to civilised life, leading to Miss Ellamir Oakhall being goaded a little beyond civility

Hmm, metaphysical indeed!
Yes, in the world in which #Ellamir is set, free will does exist, but there is also strong evidence for some form of predetermination - that some characters' "choices" are in fact simply following the will of some divine power.
