Hello! I’ve been poking around, trying to see who’s still checking the writers’ forums…

My name’s Sophie, though I go by Phi on my Patreon. I’m working on a book series with my writing partner, Rose, who goes by Moma. We have a Facebook and an IG account, but I admittedly stopped updating those awhile ago. I still pop in occasionally, though, to keep followers updated.

Our fiction book series is a mix of genres. It has mystery, mythology, theology, travel, (awkward) romance, supernatural and paranormal elements, and likely more I haven’t thought of. The story revolves around death, how the living remember the dead, and the difficulties of grief, trauma, and letting go. As gloomy as that sounds, it’s also got a lot of hope, because what is death without life, and what is life without hope?

Our writing is also research-heavy, as it features an international cast and takes place in religious festivals all over the world. We have no desire to make stuff up or insult anyone, so we’re using all of our Patreon funds to make sure we do a good job and pay people for their expertise and lived experiences.

Nothing’s been published yet because our goal is to finish the whole story first. We’re not keen on repeating the mistakes of other series (I’m looking at you, GOT/ASOIAF). Still, we’re grateful for the support we’ve been given~

Hopefully this serves as a nice introduction and gives you a good idea of what we’re working on. I hope our little corner of this forum becomes more active soon! Thanks for starting this thread!

Hello all,
I’m Kenneth and I write Prevail. It is role play game content for game masters and other interested players. My content is focused on Mouse Guard RPG, and I am adding content for Torchbearer RPG as much as I can.

My reward tiers include character fiction, but I’m woefully behind on getting that released.

This years’ stretch goals have included several downloadable files for GMs and players to blend new rules of my own devising with the existing rules.

The polling feature has been awesome to gather feedback and make an agenda for publishing content. I see what interests the audience and plan my work for that content. But, it also allows the constraints of my selections being listed, so I know it is content I want to write and have ideas brainstormed.

I would love to expand my character fiction and hire illustrators to collaborate for webcomics. I’ve started with some artists from Fiverr.com for a series of character building posts, and I’m hopeful about using that as a stretch goal topic in the future.

I am Alexander Makarov writer and journalist. I live in Ukraine in the city of Odessa. I am 65 years old. Books are my main income, but now they are almost never published. I worked for many years as a teacher of a charitable foundation. I do home-made things with children - robots, jewelry, toys. That’s why I write books about it. I developed a new needlework program for teaching children. I put the program into practice. Now I want to write a book about this. I want to publish a book about teaching needlework that brings joy to children.

Hi. I’m a novelist, blogger, arts & culture journalist, and writer of flash fiction, etc…I’ve been writing professionally since 1986 and I was once a member of Seattle’s writing community. I have yet to publish a novel even though I’m on my 7th now. I write memoirs, and fantasy, YA, romantic comedy, and magical realism. My favorite novel is a fantasy novel that involves metaphysics. It is both comic and dystopian based on the Greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice. My website is https://belleauthor.wordpress.com and I include articles also on writing.

My Patreon page for writing is Author Ate Chocolate and it’s brand new.

I guess I haven’t done this.

Hi. I am an urban fantasy author and dabbler of slam/spoken word poetry. I am in the process of publishing a trilogy through a small press publisher. The first will be out in October, the second in March, 2021. It is centered around a rebellious young bounty hunter whose principle target is human hosts of fugitive souls from Hell. I feel like I am constantly in a state of revising my Patreon, hoping to find that perfect groove that I can’t get enough of.

I am writerdgabrielle across all social platforms, including Patreon (except Twitter where I had to drop a character so I sacrificed an L-- writerdgabriele)

Hi! Can’t believe I missed this thread earlier. I’ve been on Patreon for a couple of years now and joined the forum last year. Still struggling to build my Patreon audience, only 1 patron and 2 followers so far, but, hey, it’s a start! In addition to being a jeweller and digital illustrator which I also share on my Patreon, I’m a young adult/new adult, science fiction/fantasy indieauthor.

I have one book out right now, and working on a second. Working on several projects at once, but my primary writing focus is my Regency-era Steampunk series. I’m also doing some brainstorming for what Patreon-only stories I want to write/share.

Hiya! I’m a new resident and addition to the party here on the Patreon forums. It’s actually my first day here lol, so excuse me while I fumble with the controls…

I actually write science fiction too, but I work a lot with genre cross over, paranoraml romance and other twists. I dabble in poetry as well and some short stories when I don’t have a long enough attention span to sit through and write a whole new chapter.

I’m a new creator on Patreon as well. I actually launched my page about 2 weeks ago, but I’ve been writing for ages. It’s been a solid 10 years I’m sure! My goals are similar to yours - I want to hopefully get it out of the hobby zone and into a full time commitment.

I’d love to follow you all on everything and show my support for the community. It’s lovely to meet the rest of the neighbourhood!

Hello! Thank you for the space to introduce myself and my Patreon. It’s funny that I’ve been here for a little over a year and just discovered this forum today by complete accident!

To start, I go by The Modern Druid, and I release weekly story chapters from my ever-evolving Druid universe. I have loved writing since I was young, so much so that I received my B.A. in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. After that, I went on to get my Master’s in Environmental Management (a hard-left turn). Fast forward a few years down the road, and having the time to pick back up writing during the pandemic, I decided to pursue my passion once again.

So, now you may be wondering, ā€˜You stopped writing and returned, so what do you write?’ Well, when I’m not working in the lab or the garden, the Druid universe consumes my mind with a cocktail of science fiction and fantasy. The first finished and available story (in first draft form as I continue to go back through and edit) follows a spaceship grown from plants as it travels the stars. In this story, the Druids aboard the Astralaceaes must learn to adapt to a mechanical menace that threatens their galactic garden. The second available story follows The Unlikely Druid, an average guy who discovers the power to harness plants and nature in a world not too different from our own. This story is currently ongoing with weekly chapter releases!

I plan to continue to expand my Druid universe, weaving the different stories together and diving deeper into my version of biopunk. In these stories, I will explore a reality where technology never developed and plants provided everything humanity needed to venture to the stars. I also occasionally write short stories or teasers to future projects that I plan to release—these are often ideas that I simply can’t stop thinking about!

Thanks so much for reading my post, and hopefully, my writing will be interesting to some of you! Here is a link to my public chapters for anyone curious.
