Hey friends of Fantasy, I’m Lora a fantasy addict; when I’m not writing it, I’m either reading or watching it.

My current WIP is FATED. It follows the tale of Evie, an unusual hybrid with a most damning and impossible choice to make; the wolves or

the gods? Love or duty?

It updates once/twice every week and it’s 30 chapters in now.

Read it here -> <a href="https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/587097" target="_blank">https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/587097</a>

@Word_Smith Hi Lora, I'd definetely want to read your book. I'm a fantasy addict too and the line "the wolves or the gods?" has me intrigued, really wanna know what's going on there lol.

My current WIP is the sequel to my book Tear in

Reality. Lola Hallows, a witch, has to relinquish control over her old life and future, in order to survive the attacks on the supernatural residents of San Francisco.

I update on Wednesdays and Saturdays <a href="https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/636600" target="_blank">https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/636600</a>

Sarah Jamet

@sbscarlett Hi there! I love a good supernatural attack a big city story :D And I usually find witch stories have an interesting universe so I'm def interested in reading your book!

My current WIP is Raised by Vampires. Eleanor Mcnoxnoctis was a

baby when her vampire mother found her and decided to adopt her, but growing up in a vampire family is much more complicated and dangerous than her mother expected, and falling for a vampire, even more so.

Here's the link :) <a href="https://www.inkitt.com/stories/romance/631489" target="_blank">https://www.inkitt.com/stories/romance/631489</a>

Gin_Kira @SarahJamet I really like your story and would totally read it. (I think I added it to my reading list just a few days back actually.) I'm a sucker for vampire stories, and this one sounds so interesting! ... See More

My current WIP is The Scarlet Demon. Algea is a nineteen year old demigod. The catch? She has been nineteen for three thousand years. Known as the One Eyed Reaper, Algea has set off to regain the life her commander has carefully shredded with her dual sickle scythes. Here is the link :) https://www.inkitt.com/stories/action/464691

J. Dessarroy

Hi there @GinKira, your story sounds quite interesting. Algea's situation sounds frustrating but riveting. I think I'll check out your work once as a tale about a demigod might perk me up, so thanks for sharing.

My current WIP is actually coming

to its close, it is entitled I Will Know Thee By The Light of The Moon [or IWKT for short] and it was inspired by several sources including Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Carmilla by Sheridan le Fanu, and The Outsider by H.P Lovecraft.

I Will Know Thee By The Light of The Moon is a same-sex focused Gothic romance novel about Eliane, a lone bloodthirsty immortal whose misadventures take her story through hundreds of years during the Middle Ages in France and contains a variety of themes scattered throughout.

This novel is about 46 chapters long [not including the prologue and epilogue] and is something that I hadn't originally intended to be a novel though it took on a life of its own as the story seemed to tell itself to me over the last year.

You can find IWKT at this URL: <a href="https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/432916" target="_blank">https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/432916</a>

Thanks to anyone reading this and especially to those checking out my story.

Mary Chidiac @JDessarroy I love the concept for your story! I love that it was inspired in part by Frankenstein and that it's more Gothic in nature. Love that! My current WIP is called “Spirit of Fire.” It’s a story about a society of elemental wielders, more ... See More

specifically following the story of a fire wielder named Saffire as she navigates her new role as an elemental leader. Together with a childhood friend, she navigates this new world and learns that danger was much closer than she ever thought possible.

Thanks and have a fantastic Friday! <3

Relynn Wicks Hi @Marychidiac This book sounds really cool. I would love to read it! I love the idea of elemental powers. I have a little of that in my books as well! My current WIP is called The Heathen King. Sebastian is destined to rule against his will, ... See More

but he discovers he is gifted and must use his power to end the reign of tyranny his brother unleashes or the people of Erras will suffer. The only question is, can he really kill his brother in order to save the kingdom? https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/653994 Have a great day everyone!! Thank you!

Abomination from another Dimension Hi! Your book sounds like it has potential for a lot of interesting political and character drama. I think I'll check it. My current project is a character driven fantasy story calles Tales of Mourania. Is about a magic school for special children in ... See More

a magical kingdom based on Portuguese and Spanish legends.

D.N.Frost Hey @blanca49 I love the idea of fantasy stories based on cultural folklore and legends, beyond the Norse/Celtic legends that Tolkien used to establish the fantasy genre. The Portuguese/Spanish angle is definitely unique! However, the "magic school ... See More

for special children" trope has definitely been used before, so I'd be interested to see how you differentiate your story from Harry Potter and the many other magic school stories out there.

My ongoing project is my Tales of the Known World saga, which seeks to reinvent traditional Tolkien-style epic fantasy by reimagining everything that makes the genre familiar, loveable, and overdone. Currently I'm working on a 4-book arc titled Chronicles of Mother's Gate:

Throughout a world rife with magic, an ancient prophecy grinds into motion, launching young paupers and old legends on a startling quest to redeem their unsought destiny. This motley crew transcends the fetters of daily life, only to see their hopes shattered by misfortune. There, in the shadows of hellish overlords, they nurture their vision of a free nation and remake themselves into the heroes who can bring those dreams into reality.

You can start reading the first book, titled Awakening, at <a href="https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/606538" target="_blank">https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/606538</a>

eabaker @DNFrost13 Hello D.N. Frost! Wow your Chronicles of Mother's Gate sounds so intense and one that would really grip the reader and then they would be lost to your pages on days on end with very little sleep. I love that you see that there are some ... See More

overdone themes in this genre and are focusing on reimaging and I like the idea of heroes that really have to work to gain their character development. It isn't really a dream until they have to work for it. I will defiantly be checking this out. My ongoing project is my Valkyrie Saga Series. This is a coming of age story of a teenage female Valkyrie that discovers that she is more special and coveted than she could have ever imagined. After suffering from harrowing abuse her entire childhood and then having to find her own unique way of surviving in the foster care system, the female lead has literally hidden away from both the human and supernatural world with her ability to turn herself invisible. But in a moment of normalcy with her best friend, Ray allows herself to get discovered by a local clan of Valkyries. In book one the reader discovers the full extent of Ray's Gifts and the supernatural world she is now a part of. This is a slow burn reverse harem (#whychoose) novel, so eventually Ray will be with more than one guy.

@eabaker As soon as I read Valkyrie I WAS SOLD! I love books mixed with Norse mythology and fantasy, throw in some self-discovery and a good plot and I'm sold! I'll definitely read your book! MY WIP:

It's called Frauding Royalty. Link:

Three tasks, two hearts, one lie...

On a cold Christmas Eve, young Aspen Navado met his fate and got taken to Faeriehill, a magical world hidden from mortals, to be raised as a stableboy.

Aspen must conquer three deadly tasks but will he succeed when his lie seems to catch up with him?

StarryFreya

@Aly2 Inkitt staff really need to work on this glitchy website...

As I have tried to comment twice already, your book sounds interesting and I am eager to read it after I finish the webnovel I'm currently reading. :)

A Promise Made Long Ago is

about a girl named Jay who discovers she is a saintess. She goes through different trials and adventures to try to save the world from darkness. But the end is not what she had hoped for.

<a href="https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/712176" target="_blank">https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/712176</a>

Updates are once/twice a day and currently there are five chapters.

StarryFreya Ah, for future reference to every commenter, do not use the embed link. use the link in the url bar.

Aly @StarryFreya I regret to inform you that even that does not work, as I don't use the "embed" bit at all. It automatically "embeds" links. But thank you for your tenacity in commenting!

StarryFreya

@Aly2 strange. it showed up perfectly for me until a bit ago. I guess that is another thing they will need to fix. Broken link adding is a pain for visitors. I do not understand why it automatically changes to an embed link.

MBD @StarryFreya Just by reading the short logline I'm interested! My novel, Child of the Flowers is about a young, powerful mage who decides to throw it all away...but was her outcast status worth it? I also have two other stories, but I am promoting ... See More

Constance @MollieBee2019 Mage? This sounds really cool!

attention. Her relationship with them gets interupted by a contagious feral outbreak and lots more drama with rivalries and the past. I'm terrible at giving descriptions but my book is really good. Read The Blue Circle for free on Inkitt. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/705894?utm_source=shared_ios

TheCenturyBookworm @MrsRinRin I love the genre fantasy and basically anything to do with it. Futuristic, historical, fairy-tale-like, you name it. My WIP is called Mad, it's a retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland before Alice came. (basically the origin story ... See More

of the Mad Hatter I came up with) I'm not sure many people like retellings, but I love them. Here's the link: https://www.inkitt.com/stories/720573?preview=true

D. C. Marie @maryam178 I also love retellings of classic stories, so that sounds super interesting to me! My book is called "Worse Than Beasts" and it's a fantasy romance mystery. When her childhood friend is killed, an investigation into the werewolf packs of Greenhaven will test Maya's loyalties.

Waddup! I've started the vampire romance In The End and I was wondering if you would be willing to check it out? I promise it’ll be worth your time. I’m open to any feedback so that I can make the story better so feel free to tell it exactly how it is. If you end up liking it, then I hope that you will continue on this journey with me!

LMAO i guess it is true... lol you can have too much sex in one book.. lol people are liking my books, but say there is too much. Lol omg... this is very interesting to me. Lol oh hi, I'm LB and I am an erotic writer. Nice to meet you all.

M_R People said that in mine too so now I preface with the disclaimer *I like gratuitous sex, expect it!*

LBHarpdog @m_robi lol nice

C.L.Brierley

Hi fantasy fans! Do you like reading about mythology? And if you do, which mythologies are your favourite?

AlexaLee I'm a sucker for Greek mythology!

MBD Greek, Roman, Egyptian...anything ancient!

SensacetionalShady Incan and Finnish mythologies are really interesting!

Glasssvial2121 Oh I love it. I love the green mythology the most. My high school assignment was a project about Apollo and Daphne.

Hey, I'm new to Inkitt! I've used Wattpad and Webnovel to publish stories in the past, but with both of those websites, people would read my stories but never give any feedback or reviews on the chapters or book as a whole. I posted my main piece of work that I have worked on onto this website and would love it if some people could take some time to read it and give me some feedback and/or reviews. It is still in progress, I have not finished the book yet, and I want to let anyone who decides to ... See More

read it know that it is technically classified as a fan-fiction because I use characters from different anime in my story, but I still do have my own original characters in it. If you do decide to read it and end up liking it, please feel free to share it with others because that would be really appreciated.

StarryFreya @anthony294 I rarely get feedback on wattpad myself. I have tons on my rant book and my promotional books but rarely my own novels. It sucks. I have a webnovel I am currently reading if you don't mind waiting a bit for me to get to yours :)

Hi guys, I need new fantasy books to read, I went through the werewolf stage and the Greek stories so now I’ve been getting into vampire stories. I also LOVE reincarnation stories but they’re hard to come by. I prefer heart aching stories and character development stories so let me know if you have any suggestions!

Clairisa23 @Jadinelizabeth Hi 🙂 I have been working on a epic fantasy story about a assassin. The first chapter is uploaded I'm working on the others right now during CampNano. If you interested let me know. I don't need a review just feedback for now.

J 🌞 Yes! That’s exciting I’ll start it now :)

Clairisa23 @Jadinelizabeth Thank you :-) The story is called Eurothia.

D.N.Frost @Jadinelizabeth Hi there! I write character-driven epic fantasy, and my first book was published in 2014. It's here on Inkitt: https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/606538 It is not a vampire story, nor a romance (though there are undead and ... See More

romantic tension between characters). Drop me a comment if you start reading!

MBD Hi Jo! If you're still looking for a fantasy novel with heart-aching stories and character development, I will shamelessly self promote my novel Child of the Flowers haha! here is the synopsis: Skye Blossom has been training under the oppressive hand ... See More

of Archmage Sicarius since she was fifteen. As a mage of The Spiral City, she’s never been allowed to leave Autumnus, a region in perpetual Autumn. She’s never seen the flowers in Ver, the snowy mountains of Bruma, or felt the heat of Aestas. Now, at the age of twenty five, the day of her initiation as the new Archmage approaches. But after years of feeling trapped, she runs away.

With only a taste of freedom, she’s forced to return to The Spiral City, but Sicarius is anything but welcoming. Pushed out of her home, Skye is faced with the harsh reality of life outside the wealthy Autumn Capital, and as she learns more about the world around her, Sicarius’s own secrets are revealed. I've got 8 chapters uploaded to Inkitt at the moment but I have 22 written and I release them on Thursdays :D

D.N.Frost

Hey loves! I know this isn't the Beta Readers or Review Me group, but at this point, I'm only really interested in providing feedback on fantasy stories. So providing I don't get mod-tagged for this post...

REQUEST A SWAP HERE! Note, my goal is to help writers improve their craft, not to generate finished book reviews. So we'll be swapping in-depth chapter notes for YOU in exchange for quick and easy chapter comments for ME.

Here's how it works:

1) COMMENT on my epic fantasy novel,

Awakening <a href="https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/606538" target="_blank">https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantasy/606538</a> You can read as much or as little as you want; just leave a comment so I know you've seen my writing style. Of course, full book reviews are awesome, but I appreciate that we all have reading time constraints.

2) EMAIL me at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">[email protected]</a> so I can send you notes on your story. If you have multiple stories, make sure to tell me which one to read! You can also list specific questions you want feedback on.

3) RECEIVE. I'll read your first chapter and provide in-depth beta notes. You'll get real feedback on your blurb's effectiveness, the hook in your opening paragraphs, and - depending on your manuscript's stage in the writing process - either story notes on what's working and what needs work, or line edit notes on grammar and style. After that, you can ask follow-up questions, and we'll decide if you'd benefit from additional notes on subsequent chapters.

If you're interested, just COMMENT and EMAIL as outlined, and I'll get to work! Questions? Reply to this post and I'll clear things up.

Pax_Ath D.N. Frost, i would be thrilled to participate in such an exchange. Did a cursory scan of the first chapter or so of Awakening, and expect it to be an absolute joy to read. Is all you are after "quick and easy chapter comments," or would you prefer a ... See More

more in-depth response? This already looks pretty polished, so I could understand the former.

D.N.Frost @Pax_Ath hey there! Awakening was published in 2014 so there's not much room to change it, lol. I like the chapter comments because it's sort of a play-by-play of the reader's experience. If you want to be in-depth, I suppose you could either leave a ... See More

full book review or check out my sequel, Broken (which is going to be published later this year).

Pax_Ath Hah! Well that would account for why it is so polished! Happy to contribute chapter comments then. Just didn't want to seem miserly.

Ok, I have been experimenting with Canva today and decide on creating a new book cover. What is your thought?

AlexaLee I like it!

Hey beautiful people,am a newbie... don't really know my way around here, someone mind giving me a hand😁?

D.N.Frost Welcome! If you have a story to share, use "Manage Stories" under your profile drop tab (top right) and add it to Inkitt. Then you can share the link, both here in Inkitt groups and elsewhere (like Facebook, Twitter, etc). If you're here to read as ... See More

opposed to share your own writing, check out the "Beta Readers" or "Review Me" groups, where people who want feedback post about their stories.

Hi Friends of Fantasy, Two Things:

1) What kind of Fantasy related writing contests would you be interested in?

2) Since the vast majority of us are interested in gaining a readership, how about we do a Read Train every month?

For a week every month (just like our WHAT'S YOUR STORY) thread, we start a thread where you post the title and link to your book and the next person reads a chapter, comments and comes to the thread on here to tell us what they thought and then posts their story

detail for the next person?

Let me know what you think, and if you've got suggestions, bring them on as well.

Clairisa23 @Word_Smith I would like to participate in something like this. I don't see many fantasy stories here on Inkitt that gets noticed. Maybe we can tag our friends who write fantasy books?

Lσɾα †ïå @Clairisa23 that's a great idea! The tags should get them in here for this.

D.N.Frost I like this concept! You may not want to limit it to a week though; this could be an ongoing Read Train and you just make a fresh post to pin every month (so comments don't get overwhelming). As for fantasy contests... It'd be nice to see, well, any! ... See More

The last one I saw was last year, and it was a fantasy/sci-fi contest, so it became sort of a dragons vs. robots kind of thing. It would also be nice to see separate contests for fantasy adventure vs. fantasy romance, since there's this whole werewolf romance sub-genre that's kind of glutting everybody else out.

Lσɾα †ïå I see how the one-week timeframe may not work as not a lot of people actually engage in the groups (within a week). I will draw up a post to that effect for this month, and probably include a note for those participating to share a broadcast on their ... See More

wall for a broader reach.

Yes I remember the fantasy/scifi contest. It's been a while. The werewolf romance has taken over the fantasy realm right now.

Lσɾα †ïå

A quick reminder!

NO SELF PROMOS allowed in the genre groups! Use the REVIEW ME group for that.

All self promos will be deleted. Kindly keep the group discussions to only specific Fantasy discussions and questions, or better still, participate in the Friends of Fantasy discussion threads pinned to the group.
