Eyyy!
Not only am *I* trans (agender), several of my characters are also under the trans umbrella. From #LL&MM, Liam is FTM & Sanal is agender, From #WOTV, Mya is genderfluid. I love my trans characters.
#WriteSky #QueerPrompts #BookSky
In my fanfic days, I wrote m/m. #LL&MM is, I guess, t4t, as neither Liam nor Sanal are cis. #Cursed will be m/m. #WOTV will eventually be w/nb and the first time i've actually written a relationship with a woman in it. Which is weird, as I'm sapphic. But I think my agender informs how I write [1/2].
Watson and I are feeling this with our magic system, and the resulting changes to Real History that go with our urban fantasy/magical realism world that underpins both #Cursed and #WOTV.
#BookSky #AmWriting #WriteSky
Ooh, I love this!
For me, it's either a Scene (for #LL&MM & #Cursed) or characters (for #WOTV). For LLL&MM, it was an ending scene that didn't make the final cut, an "I love you" between the MC and the LI, whilst the MC is *dying*. The vibes stayed, that's all I can say.

Hi! It is we, Holfelder & Watson, two nerds in a trench coat, writing queer action/adventure stories ft queer love subplots.
#LL&MM: queer love wrapped up in a murder mystery. Sub to RevPit
#Cursed: queer love wrapped up in magical realism. WIP
#WOTV: queer love, family, & soul-eaters. WIP
Welcome!
Hi👋
Big goal this week is submitting to #RevPit! That's on Thursday. I think everything is ready to go for that, so I can mostly just coast til then. But I also want to work on getting new words down in #Cursed and maybe #WOTV as well. It's also a busy week, so we'll see!

Yupp! Claudia, in #WOTV. She had been w/ the story from inception at an RPG. As Watson & I were revising the beginning of the story, she just didn't have a place in Emmaline's arc, not as an active character. She remains named and mentioned, but won't be onscreen at least for b1.
#AwesomeCharacters
Hey! So our website HolfelderWatsonWrites.com is up and running! We do a lot of updates here, but you can also pop over there for a more in-depth look at #LL&MM, #Cursed, and #WOTV. there are short bios for us, and eventually, some writing samples. :) Check us out & share blog post ideas!
#WriteSky
I think I gotta halt on #WIPSnips right now. I've shared a good bit from #LL&MM and I want to keep some things mysterious and interesting. Once I get some more words down in #Cursed and #WOTV, I'll probably start back up again. I'm sad, though, bc I love snips! :(
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity
Both of our other two WIPS. #LL&MM is ready for #RevPit & in a holding pattern until then. Bc of that prep (and Life Stuff) we haven't been able to work on #Cursed or #WOTV. It's been sad without active writing happening...might have to break the streak and do some Cursed work today.
#WriteSky
#FebOutlining this is an origins question for us. I thrive off of feedback, and really work well with a rubber duck that can talk back. Watson had volunteered to beta in the way back days of #WOTV, and I eventually pulled her onboard to beta #LL&MM in it's infancy because I was *stuck*. [1/3]
[2/2] In #Cursed, Tristan and Nix are not in the headspace for a romantic relationship. Tristan is convinced he's unlovable bc he's ace, and Nix isn't interested bc he has Things To Do in life. In #WOTV, there's only barely some romantic subtext. It'll blossom eventually, but not in b1.
#WriteSky
[6/8] In #WOTV Emmi is pan, w/ a bent towards sapphic interests. I'm pretty sure she is not aro or ace, but her story isn't fully written yet. Mya is giving aro/ace vibes, but I've not spent enough time w/ them yet to know. Armand is going to accidentally flirt with everyone, tho he's straight.
Oh I hate timelines. Fixing the timeline for #LL&MM has been a pain in the *ass*. But that's probably because that story was all kinds of chopped salad for a while. #Cursed and #WOTV are being written much more linearly and calmly.
#FebOutlining #WriteSky
PEETSBORGH. (Pittsburgh)
All three of my WIPS ft Pittsburgh. #WOTV is partially set there, and #LL&MM & #Cursed are set wholly in the city. Part of my rewrites include grounding the stories more firmly in the city. #Cursed fts Hazelwood & Squirrel Hill homes.
#FebOutlining #WriteSky
[3/3] his own thing. He was only ever barely based on another character. The #WOTV crew were all originally formed RPG characters, who have blossomed into wholly individual people at this point, with Watson's inspiration also.
#AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
A little bit from #WOTV today. Early on as Emmi is exploring who she is, and still *very much* hiding a lot of things from her mentor.

Hi! It is we, Holfelder & Watson, two nerds in a trench coat, writing queer action/adventure stories ft queer love subplots.
#LL&MM: queer love wrapped up in a murder mystery. Beta stages
#Cursed: queer love wrapped up in magical realism. WIP
#WOTV: queer love, family, & soul-eaters. WIP
Welcome!
[2/2] That means that the magic can sour and creep back into the user. Only truly trained Healers know how to balance the magic properly to prevent injuries to themselves.
Hence why you should never try healing w/o proper training, Tristan...

Honestly I need to talk more about #WOTV and get working on it. I (Holfelder) keep getting distracted. Wardens is *such* a good concept, with a banshee-who-doesn't-know-what-that-means, a genderfluid occult investigator, and their Cajun redneck boss. & so many more characters!
#WriteSky
In both #Cursed & #WOTV, most magic is done w/ the help of physical components and/or linguistic components. Super simple spells can be case w/ words, gestures, and intent only. Nix uses an anti-tracking spell to get the werewolf off their tail early on that is like this. More complex spells [1/2]
Hey, hi, hello, it's REBRAND time.
Most of you have heard of my co-author Watson ( @slightlyfb.bsky.social ) by now. We work together on #Shield&Scalpel, #Cursed, and #WOTV. We've been friends for 10+ years, after meeting in freshman year of undergrad. As S&S approaches publication milestones [1/3]
Oh, yes! I'm a playlist kind of writer. I need *theme music*
#Shield&Scalpel includes Nobody's Soldier (Hozier) & Run (Delta Rae), & Wild One (Faith Hill) for Sanal.
#Cursed includes Rusty Cage (Johnny Cash) & Sparks Fly (T Swift)
#WOTV is as mixmatch of genres and artists
#FebOutlining #WriteSky
In #Cursed & #WOTV, everyone has a "spark" of magic, or the potential to become Skilled in magical arts. Some folks have a stronger spark - sometimes because of familial heritage or being surrounded by magic, sometimes by a fluke - which allows them to develop more in the magical world [1/2]
I'm working on 3 projects rn, but probably only #Cursed & #WOTV apply, as S&S is in beta. Both works are in writing mode, though there's a good bit of outlining that goes along with the writing, as I'm a pantser but Watson is a plotter. I wanna get 1/2way thru Cursed this month.
#FebOutlining
Hi👋 I'm Annie! Watson and I are developing the same magic system for two different series, the #Cursed books and the #WOTV series. They take place about 20 years apart, but share the same magical realism background.
#Febchantment #WriteSky [1/2]
[3/4]
#WOTV is a WIP in construction. It fts a motely crew of Ancients (vampires, hags, banshees among others) and Skilled (sorcerers) trying to solve a series of highway killer-style slew of soul-less corpses. It also fts two Black MCs, one of whom is genderqueer.
