Thanks for putting this up, @Mor Toast! Can't wait to see what everyone else has!

[Burnt Toast]

Excellent! You are the first in the list. I'm excited to check out your work!

[Taethowen]

@Mor Toast I hope you enjoy it! Fiction-wise, I don't have much out yet, but hoping to change that in the next year or so.

Also. I just realized I left out a vital word in my summary. *facepalm* Would it be possible to get "character-epic fantasy" changed to "character-driven epic fantasy"? Thanks!

@Aduchil I suspect the Plaza spawned more than few fantasy authors, lol! (Also, I cannot get your 7 Ways to Support Indie Authors page to load, just fyi. The background, banner, and sidebar load fine, but the content itself just gives me a loading icon. Perpetually.)

[Burnt Toast]

@Taethowen You got it! Updated.
@Aduchil - You have been added to the list.

I am adding Plaza names above for ease of recognizing members.

Feel free to let me know of edits needed at any point. Or, if anyone has an idea for a best way to create the list, I am happy to take ideas for adjustments. For now, I'll just try to keep it as clear and streamlined as possible. I will potentially break the list into categories later, as they emerge.

[Galadrihell]

I’ve stickied this

[Aduchil]

@Taethowen I suppose it was inevitable that quite a number of us would end up as fantasy writers. :) Thanks for checking out my site and the heads up. I'll check to see if there may be some kind of block going on.

@Mor Toast Thanks for adding me! And thanks to @Sil for the sticker.

Apologies if this isn't the right place for this, if not do feel free to move it:

Khazad-dum's Nespaper The Mirrormere is back in action. Our first issue has started being created and we need writers, aritsts and other creative folks. Pop by and show us your expertise.

viewtopic.php?f=15&p=5482#p5482

[Burnt Toast]

@Aduchil - No problem!
@Thalionwen, @Naur , & @Eldrith - You have been added. Do a glance over and let me know if you need any edits.

**For the sake of everyone's brain as well as mine-- I am keeping a google doc separately from the Plaza with the total list with all my nice edits/links/etc. so if I accidentally destroy this one, I can just copy it over.

@Thorin Firehelm - It makes sense to post about this in the Cottage for the sake of finding artists/writers/etc., but I don't know that this thread makes the most sense for your post. That said, it is the only stickied thread currently in the Cottage. It might behoove us to have some sort of place for announcements, inter-Kingdom calls for aid, artists, etc. Perhaps we could ask the Plaza lord Narv if we could have some sort of member use stickied announcement/ cross kingdom ask thread. I'll make an ask in the features thread and tag you in it.

[Thalionwen Hunigfolm]

Thank you so much for coordinating this, @Mor Toast, everything looks good on my end! I can't wait to take a look at all of our talented Plaza members' creative endeavors

[Thorin Firehelm]

@Mor Toast I did think about starting a new thread but, all the other new threads seemed to be showcasing new work rather than advertiasing things like this. I appreciate this thread isn't the most ideal place but it was the most relevant thread I could see. I'm happy to move it to a new thread.

[Burnt Toast]

@Thalionwen Great! And no problem.

@Thorin Firehelm Looks like we'll have an announcement thread shortly! Thanks for highlighting the need. :)

EDIT: The announcement thread is up-- and I put your KD newspaper thread in the OP. Feel free to post an announcement there as well!

[Thorin Firehelm]

@Mor Toast thanks and thanks again!

Great idea @Burnt Toast

[Taethowen]

Doesn't need to be added to the OP, but just wanted to throw it up here for anyone who might be interested. Since 2018, I've run a free worldbuilding course from Sep 1-Oct 31. It's geared toward those prepping for National Novel Writing Month, but is a good intro into worldbuilding in general. So, if anyone's interested, it starts in 10 days! For more info, just click the image below!

I do not expect this to be added to the OP until our wonderful @Burnt Toast returns, but I will leave it posted regardless. :)

The website is currently under construction (the gallery isn't up yet but am working on it) but figured easier to have it up already than trying to get it updated later.
