Vyvre Argent, epic fantasy with 🌈 characters

Holy fuck is a good way to describe a book with gods who…

It’s basically the equivalent of the reveal about the commander being [REDACTED] after the confrontation on Korinne’s ship in chapter eighteen!

I wrote the Big Midpoint Twist last night and now I get to work on the fallout!

The publishing industry's lack of confidence in authors and its own ability to create careers for them is pathetic and, in the end, self-defeating.

What this is (like so much in the publishing industry right now) is prioritising shit books by famous people that will briefly sell a lot then be forgotten over books with steady longevity by writers who've spent years learning their craft. It's money-grabbing cowardice & book lovers see through it.

I wish more queer people knew that there were queer authors working very hard for very little money and facing the worst crap the industry can offer to write stories where their existence didn’t have to be retconned in.

I’ve written a little fanfic, but never been very involved with it. Far too much big corporate media is happy to take our money but shows us no respect, and I don’t want to engage with IPs like that.

“Create in the IP of a person/company who hates you” should not be the only path to success for queer SFF authors

I love them so much my problem children!

Reminder that SKULLRUNNER is an epic fantasy novel with two transmasc POV characters!

Added this song to my writing playlist in high school and only now got the character it belongs to

Thinking “man I need an Andreas song to write this scene” and Viva La Vida comes on

Eloise loves to act like she’s so much better than the women around her who are married and interested in society but she doesn’t DO anything about it and it just comes off as Not Like Other Girls

Watching Bridgerton S4 and honestly Violet Bridgerton has so much villain potential what with her “all my children will be heterosexually married OR ELSE” vibes.

Working on Chapter 16 today, the one where Donya says “shit” a bunch and needs to smoke weed.

Wondering what your thoughts are on why readers reject non-premodern fantasy worlds? I’ve noticed it too and I wonder if maybe it’s just too big a leap

It’s basically impossible for a marginalized author to reach the height of SJM or Sanderson in traditional publishing. Publishers will not allow us to take up the same amount of space. We don’t get to build universes for readers to invest in. We have to hop between short standalones.

Whenever I see a cishet fantasy author get to split their book in two so they don’t have to cut material, I think of how my last big five publisher made me cut 30k words and some really important representation from my last trad pub book because “paper is just too expensive right now”

I have spent half an hour on culinary research to write this feast scene while knowing I’m the sort of reader who will skim feast scenes in books 😭😭😭

OLYOKE cover art by Jenna Cha, a paper-y human skin floats peacefully through the sky above the small town of Olyoke against a greenish yellow sky. Blurb by Michael Wehunt: “Vincent Endwell’s OLYOKE lures you into the crevice between Weird fiction and Appalachian horror, where something inscrutable yet warm has been gestating. You will come back different—burned in a great fire, perhaps serenaded by a Dolly Parton impersonator—but you never have to think of your old self again. If that isn’t a resin—I mean reason, oh God, the book has infected me, too!—to recommend this unique melting pot of horrors, I don’t know what is.”

Preorders for @endwellian.bsky.social's OLYOKE continue to move briskly!

Not exactly shocking, considering the actually-sorta-frighteningly-accurate description of "like an Appalachian Twin Peaks" should be like catnip to...well, ALL of you Weirdos🖤☠️

😂sometimes I’ll be consulting tidal charts and nautical enthusiast websites to painstakingly calculate when a fleet will arrive at a certain location and then I’ll remember…

Book two is all Eva fighting tooth and nail for revolution while Andreas is like “I took piano lessons.”

😂my inability to write a rom-com biting me in the ass because it would 100% turn into a fantasy book midway through

why does this make me want to write a sapphic rom-com about a trans woman coming out at her single mom BFF’s gender reveal party and the hijinks that ensue?
