@tictactophat asks: My character, Raymond, is a member of the main cast but not the lead character. He is Tulalip native, and is the only human in the main group with the rest being non-native werewolves. The group as a whole is all fresh out of high school, and the story is about them going on a road trip across America to hunt vampires in an episodic fashion. Since the vampires have corrupted…
thecaffeinebookwarrior : thecaffeinebookwarrior : Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction. As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist. Deaf Characters: Deaf characters masterpost Deaf dialogue…
hylltonart : Finally finished painting this water nymph timelapse + WIP images
tightjeansjavi : also, google is free, but pick up a textbook every once in awhile. Find articles written by POC and keep up to date with how you can be a better ally. I took a black feminist theory class in college…taught by two white women. You heard me right. Two. White. Women. Which is fucking insane in itself, but on the first day of class one of the professors was reading an article, written…
Vanillaateaa asks: CW: very brief/non-explicit mentions of sex My character is a Punjabi South Indian-coded woman who does not consider herself religious. She is a vampire NPC in a gothic romance/horror TTRPG. The game is set in an isolated demi-plane (an extra-dimensional space about the size of one of the larger U.S states) that pulls in people from other worlds, and is ruled by a corrupt…
Mentallyamoth asks: CW: war, genocide, colonization Hello, I am currently writing a book in a fantasy world setting centering a Lakota-inspired main character. In this world, the magic that you develop depends on your religious beliefs. A long time ago, two large groups with two different religious beliefs silmutaniously decided that their religion was the right one and that they had to convince…
WWC Follower Asks: Hi! Im currently writing a story about an upper class Colombian girl (who lives in Colombia) who’s autistic and queer, and spends plenty of time online on fandom spaces. Due to the fact she spends most of her time on us-centric spaces, she has assimilated on aspects of US culture strongly, to the point her own thoughts are in English at the moment, as US-centric (or English…
The Most Likely Person to Read a Book? A College-Educated Black Woman Most of this article is copied below . Bold added. In its look at the adoption of electronic book formats, Pew Research stumbled onto an interesting data point. The most likely person to read a book — in any format — is a black woman who's been to college. Slate's Jacob Weisberg spotted the data point buried in Pew's report ,…
Black People and Affinity to Bright Colors Stereotypes? I’d be more concerned with your characterization of how to write a Black man. For some reason, I associate Finn with the color orange and I don’t know why. We look good in bright colors and that’s not a bad thing. Maybe Finn wants to express himself after wearing black and white his entire life. ~Mod Brei He can have all the nice things! I…
LGBTQIA+ Literature Recommendations by WritingWithColor: 2025-26 Releases Happy Pride! I decided to do this post for Pride to help fellow creators. Finding an audience for our creations can prove difficult, especially when we are marginalized artists that don’t fit the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) mold. We creators need to look out for each other so we find an audience. It is hard to find…
