Author Topic: I am writing a book!  (Read 79 times)

Blockland forums, lend me your energy! I am in the process of writing my first novel. I wrote most of what I made so far back in August... then I had that seizure and lost motivation to do anything for a while. I'm trying to start again, though. Gonna try to self-publish it to avoid any IP scams that have been happening lately.

Synopsis

Tomochka is a Gnoll - an anthropomorphic hyena person. She's a Matriarch of the Neck Snappers tribe, a brutal nation of barbaric cannibals who hunt and terrorize their neighbors. Together with Gavril, the cowardly runt despised by the tribe for his weakness, she makes a bid to claim the title of Champion. Should they succeed in defeating their rivals, they will be sent to the Heavenly Realm of The Hyena Goddess Yeshka to petition her for a divine favor which may determine whether the Neck Snappers have any future at all.


(Some gnoll art I commissioned before I had the book idea. Not representative of any particular character.)

Anyone know any good furry/monster artists? I want to commission some more art for this, and I want the characters to look properly terrifying, not cute and fluffy. (Okay maybe one or two are cute or fluffy, but the rest are killers!) Should I post the first two chapters here?

For some reason whenever I tried to copy and paste the synopsis from Google Docs or Discord, BLF kept giving me a database error. I had to manually re-type everything to get it to post/save edit. Why might that be? I even tried to paste without formatting with ctrl+shift+v but that didn't work either.

Make sure that any quotation marks you have are straight quotes like "" and not the curly quotes that most word editors default to. BLF is stuff about special characters.

Also, congrats!

Is it gonna be horny :panda:

it's not meant to be erotica, but horniness is one of the primary motivators for one of the characters
