Today I am beyond excited to announce that What Is and Could Be is officially out in the wild! If you like bookish MCs, slow-growing friendships, and gardens—all wrapped up in an alternate Victorian setting—this story might just be for you. 🌿

When you’re editing and realize one of your characters has just always been good at unconsciously annoying everyone else but you love him for it 😂

Screenshot one is from To Live and To Breathe, screenshot two is from To Be and To Do.

@FandFmagazine Thank you for participating!!

[Katelyn Buxton @KBuxtonBooks]

Tomorrow’s theme is about endings! To play, just write a tweet-long, brand-new, original piece of poetry or prose inspired by the prompt and tag it #MondayFic! Please keep the content rated PG-13 or under. I want this space to be available for everyone.

@FandFmagazine Awww I like this!

[Katelyn Buxton @KBuxtonBooks]

@Amaris_Faith Haha thanks!

[Katelyn Buxton @KBuxtonBooks]

Sprouted from nothing;
Now at an end.
Beginnings mean endings,
And endings mean more.

@Shannon_MMcD I love this thought

[Shannon McDermott @Shannon_MMcD]

A story has no proper ending. It is a thread going over, under, and around, always working into new patterns.

(They wrote, "The end." But they meant, "Here we get off, to go on in different places; here is where we say good-bye.")

@2ProbablyNever What a cozy moment!

[Night owling @2ProbablyNever]

She was about to write "the End" but then the phone rang. Her husband said he was heading home. Her daughter wanted her shoes tied, it was time for snacks, the snow started falling, falling slowly. She was about to write the End, but maybe she didn't need to write it after all.

@mshurtleffwrite Ooof I feel that

[Mary Shurtleff (has a book out 👀) @mshurtleffwrite]

She closed the book and stared. What a way to get kicked out of a portal fantasy. But events only happened as she read them, so how else could they escape the author’s appetite for tragedy? And since the only way back in was to keep reading…

She put the book away with an ache.

@KerstinKoepl I love the message of hope!

[Kerstin Koepl 📖 @KerstinKoepl]

Voices were singing outside the windows: old voices, young voices, croaking voices, fair voices, all united in a horrible song of death.

"It is the end," someone said in despair.

"Perhaps for us," the king said. "But we must hold so that it is not the end for all."

[Katelyn Buxton @KBuxtonBooks]

@Amaris_Faith Thank you!!

[Katelyn Buxton @KBuxtonBooks]

Thank you so much to everyone who has made #MondayFic what is!

[Katelyn Buxton @KBuxtonBooks]

I won’t be leaving the platform and will hopefully be able to post more interesting writing-related things than I have been over the coming months, but #MondayFic is something that I no longer find fitting in my life.
