A friend of mine, Agaming, has been doing some writing lately and was wondering if there was somewhere he could post his stories online to start building a following.

I have of course recommended he share his stories here with us (I personally really enjoy his writing, he's great at eldritch horror style creations!), but I wondered if anyone might have any other suggestions for sharing one's writing with the world?

Somehow it's almost the end of May and I haven't yet posted a reading update!

My goal this year is to read 78 books and so far I've read 35, so I think I'm more or less on track.

My most recent completed read was a duology that's doing the rounds in romantasy circles: it's the first two books in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, the first being The Serpent and the Wings of Night and the second being The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King.
I enjoyed this, it had a lot of the classic tropes of romantasy books at the moment but was nevertheless entertaining and I liked the characters. I don't think it will ever win any prizes for deep literature, but I was happy just to be entertained by my books.

I also recently finished the second trilogy in the Robin Hobbs series, The Liveship Traders trilogy. I absolutely love these books and I can't believe they aren't more widely known. I think her characters are incredibly well written, the plot is intriguing and, as with the first trilogy, I was so impressed at how the various story strands were brought together in the final book.

I've bought the next trilogy in this series, which returns to the setting and characters of the first trilogy, so I'll get to those once I've worked my way through Throne of Glass (I really am on a romantasy kick lately...)

Either of those work for me

I cannot do the 30th, but I could make the 31st I believe!

Ooh thank you, I'm excited to check it out!

Happy New Year!

Hi! Welcome to Exilian!

Queer spec fic sounds right up my alley (particularly as I attend an LGBT+ book club in my area, and we're always looking for more books to acquire for the library and then read in the group!), what have you written?

This sounds really interesting and I'm always on the lookout for new TRPGs to try! I shall have a look
