Alyx Aundria

Originally an author who posts on Wattpad years ago, I have now been introduced to Inkitt. I look forward to joining and creating a community of writers who aim to write stories that challenge and break the conventional tropes that have surrounded female characters, particularly when it comes to the "male gaze".

Who is Alyx Aundria?



Alyx Aundria is a feminist writer who loves stirring the pot with her passion in discussing the influence of the patriarchy on women and its dynamics in their relationships with men. Fueled by strong coffee (and equally stronger wine), she writes socially critical romance/erotica stories that offer the female perspective on love, desire, and navigating life under the patriarchy.

A lifelong lover of stories, storytelling easily became her second love, next to reading, and she has honed both skills over the years.



Currently, Alyx is revising a previously available romance novel, which delves into the nuanced realities of women's lives. Inspired by successful women around the world, her work encourages women to question and challenge traditional expectations.

When not writing these captivating narratives, Alyx enjoys flipping through the pages of a good book to escape the world, indulging in her love of cooking, traveling to beaches, and spending time with her seven feline familiars.

She is a proponent of the work-life imbalance, in which she encourages people to live more and work less.

Hello darklings, it's two weeks since the last update and you know what the means!

Chapter 3 of "All Things are Wrong" is OUT NOW. Ready to see our beloved CEO, Amber Chase in action?

Of course, it's divided into two (2) parts since that's how it's been going since the first chapter. I hope you all enjoy the chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.

It's been a turbulent couple of weeks for me due to some personal issues. I have to admit, Chapter 2 took quite a while to write but fret not my readers, Your not-so-favorite Mistress of Words has finally bit the pullet, pushed the envelope, and broke the glass ceiling!

Chapter 2 of "All Things are Wrong", is OUT NOW!

As promised, it is divided it into two (2) parts for easier readability. But we'll see if this chapter is going to send you all over the edge. Don't worry, that was definitely not a spoiler. *wink*

This is to anyone who will ask me for a critique on their work.



I just want to preface my critiques, should you get any from me, that they are not a personal attack on you as an individual.



My aim is to critique writers to write better female characters with dynamic, attitude, character, personality, individuality, and most especially, with backbones. If your female character lives and only breathes for men or the approval of men, or worse, the incessant need to be "unlike other girls", I am so sorry but, I will tell you the honest truth.



Similarly, I also aim to critique writers to write better male characters, who are able to be dark and steamy and intense and smouldering and whatchamacallit, without resorting to the same behavioral patterns of abusive or otherwise, predatory men. If your male character does not understand consent and boundaries, I will also tell you the honest truth.



As a writer, we actually have a social responsibility to write stories that can influence people's thinking, so to hide behind saying "it's just art" when we are being asked to do better on behalf of the female characters we create, or on the way we write our male characters we want our FMCs or our readers to love, is not only ridiculous, it is wrong.



We can absolutely write about problematic situations/people and perhaps even should but in doing so we should acknowledge that they are problematic. We should not try to rationalize it or make it look like, "this is what's hot/romantic/sexy".



So, again, please consider listening instead of being defensive. Because it is a shame that for most writers, there is a talent hiding behind problematic characters and writing. It takes away from our gift of being able to write. Let's all do better by writing better. ❤️
