Out of Context! What happened in your story the last you worked on it?

Tell me the last thing that happened in your story the last time you worked on it (drafting, editing, rewriting, etc.). You don’t even have to name characters if you want to avoid spoilers.

You can be super vague or incredibly detailed, but you don’t have to give backstory or any context.

You can return again and again but it should always be the last thing that happened.


I’m going to give titles because I’m doing multiple, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

The end of the battle between Amneris and her evil dream self happened :joy:

The Final Downfall: Chapter 12 (FINAL DRAFT)

The blue-white shockwave hit A.K. before the sound came. And what a sound it was. A resounding, sharp SNAP echoed through the cove. The waters burst into the sky. The sea stacks crumbled and fell, splashing into the shaking ocean as massive waves crashed down on the shore. Trees were torn from their roots. The sand was parted into a deep crater. The faceless men, the energy beings connected to them, and A.K. were left as nothing more than red splatters in the sand.

Amneris landed in the remains of her self-caused disaster. She gave what little remained of A.K. a childish kick. “Told you you’re the pathetic one.”

I haven’t written anything all month, but I think when I last worked on my story it had just started raining blood and giant vampire slugs started bubbling up from the soil. :s

On the curse that settles in Khiga

A curse escapes the dark realm and burrows itself in the desert of Khiga, waiting for its object.

Torgyn and his companion Efras are travelling with a merchant caravan when they encounter Omru, a dye trader headed to the city of Hebelon for his niece’s wedding. He tells them of the strange visions he’s been plagued with on this journey; the faces of devils on the mountainside, dreams of flying, blood running in the city streets. Torgyn reveals himself to be a holyman and gives him a charm.

The curse latches onto Hedda, a pregnant young woman in the caravan who’s headed to her sister’s village in the eastern desert past Hebelon. She goes into labour immediately. Omru offers to bring her with him to his brother’s house, where wedding preparations are underway, to give birth. He sends Efras ahead to send word.

Torgyn attends Hedda but realises that this curse is like no other. He refuses to help. Outside Hebelon, the caravan splits and Torgyn leaves without a word, joining the traders heading east.

“What? Do you think I’m scared of a little singing and an old man getting up there to tell me I’m evil for thinking about getting you to rope and ride me? Besides, your mom wants to feed me afterward. That’s just trading a short purgatory for heaven.”

Anise mouthed the words rope and ride me while Vance talked. She didn’t know if she turned red because it was so blunt or because it took her a second. “But if we go to your house, all we are going to do is cook and play games until your father goes off again, so you’re not really going to get me up on top of you.”

I just started its fourth draft, so I’m only a page and a half in. What’s happened so far is a bit of world building where my MC is looking out into the distance on a restaurant’s roof and is in deep thought. He’s waiting. Then his girlfriend comes in the picture, and as they kiss, parts of his PTSD comes back and he begins to spiral until she reassures him that nothing bad is going to happen to her or to him.

That sounds like a chaotic place to be :stuck_out_tongue:

That sounds like foreshadowing :smirk:


@HKelle I’ve long thought this, but you’re good at drawing ooze :grin:


Good thing or bad thing for Jiang?


I love the names :grin:


Ooooh, exciting!

I’m guessing there was a struggle to get Yessei locked up?

The Endurlon

After two days travel south and meeting a shadowy organisation during the night at a horrid location, Riona and Kelbis now have entered the town of Tressin on the Hill. After a bit of a distrustful exchange with the Door Warden, they now look to avoid further the torrential downpour indoors at the inn that was advised to them…

Got no further than that, so closed the chapter there.

Bad. The Empress Dowager essentially going to blackmail Jiang using custody of her daughter (long story short, this child was manipulated by a different concubine into thinking Xiang was a witch and she split her face open with a plate during a lunch The Emperor attended). in exchange for her daughter’s safety, Jiang must essentially sign her life over to The Empress Dowager whose goals are to remove The Empress’ powers in the harem and to get ride of Xiang.
