A promotional graphic for “GoT – Nov 2025 Week 4” with a parchment background and black ink-like brush strokes. At the top left is a rainbow-gradient circular logo with an open book labeled “GoT.” At the top right is the Kitsune-Gumi red-and-white fox sigil. Large white text asks three questions: “Which House will fall, Lapin or Mollusca?” (with the Lapin rabbit sigil on the left and the purple Mollusca sigil on the right), “How many Tome Knights will turn undead?”, and “How many words will the Horde gain?” Green question-mark graphics appear on both sides. The bottom text invites viewers to tune in to a Twitch stream at “twitch.tv/game_of_tomes at 1:30 PM PST / 3:30 PM CST / 9:30 PM UTC to find out!”

It’s result stream o clock soon again? Who knew that writing and the rest of Nanowrimo could turn into a crazy wild rpg with almost a hundred players, over a million words in the world on @worldanvil.com, people all around the globe playing (curse you, timezones!!!) and zombiesvsbunniesvskraken?

We're up!

A chart titled “Game of Tomes – Nov 2025 Week 1.” It shows major houses in a writing event along with their word counts. The houses listed are Lapin, Ailurus, Mollusca, Undead Horde, Sauropoda, and Chiroptera. Chiroptera has 89,888 words, and that number also appears in the “Total Words” column. A total event word count of 1,476,103 is shown at the bottom. Minor houses Avis and Meles are listed next to Lapin and Ailurus. The other house numbers are still blacked out since they didn’t fall yet.

A black and parchment-textured graphic showing two sigils side by side. On the left is a green–yellow shield with a zombie hand rising from dirt and a ribbon reading “Amass the Horde.” On the right is a stylized white and red nine-tailed fox mask logo labeled “Kitsune-Gumi.” Beneath them it says “29,962 Words Fall to the Horde“.

Last night was crazy. Nobody expected the bats to fall this soon! And they are in third place?! Living, you better get writing! #NovNov #Got

Twitch Twitch is the world

FIRST RESULT STREAM! Who will fall? Who has earned their bonus litmon? And why are we all so pretty?

A motivational poster titled “The Self Care Mafia” at the top, with “GameOfTomes.org” written beneath. The background shows a stylized cityscape at sunset with streetlights glowing. To the lower right stands a cute orange cartoon fox wearing a gray fedora hat. The text in the middle is: “During challenge week, a lot of things got put on hold. That’s fine, really, don’t you worry! I’m just saying that if you want to try to create new litmon, the thing in your mug from three days ago doesn’t quite count. Let’s try to clean up a bit. The faster you’re done, the faster you’re back at writing :3” from Bard

Challenge week is over! Thank god we didn’t ignore anything else during that time, right?

Right?

The self care mafia is here to help and to remind you that it’s alright to take breaks, but is also alright to get your life together. We even have a bingo 😊

To the lower right stands a cute orange cartoon fox wearing a gray fedora hat. The text in the middle is: “Would you look at that? You made it through the first round of wording! You’ve done some words. You may have hit your goal for the challenge week (and if you did, you get more cheers from all of us). Or you might have not, but you still deserve the cheers for trying! If you’re still going, then keep at it! Just don’t forget to take a break, stretch it out, hydrate, hug the loved ones, eat, and pet the pets. We’re so proud of you!” from Sunny

The Self Care Mafia is doing its best to keep our authors alive and well durning the month. Take care of yourself, writers! ❤️

A fictional news article speculating who the nee Nite Monarq could be. Bard with many names aka the nite Monarq from last year acts suspiciously by going on a tour wearing a mask, but shyredfox and FoxWriter have gone missing… though Attorraru vouches for them? What is happening?

We are deep in our Challenge week. It’s Nanowrimo time, y’all, (not the organization) and the houses are already looking for the Nite Monarq… but where are they?
@amywintersvoss.com @foxwriter.bsky.social where are you?
@bardwithmanynames.bsky.social why the sudden tour? @attorraru.bsky.social ?

Being a fantasy writer is typing "they extended an olive branch" and then going "shit, do they even have olives in this world?"

You wanna know why I'm not JUST worried about AI from a creative person standpoint? Shit like this.

I’ve been fighting for years to unmoor myself of the “grind-set mindset” I developed in business school but holy shit it’s hard when that way of thinking is imposed on us in everyday life.

I am a member of SFWA. I have been since I was writing for Forgotten Realms/Wizards of the Coast. Really pleased with how the organization continues to expand and provide information to all writers (members or not). Take advantage of the material on the website.

October 8 is World Octopus Day! I will host a special stream from 10am-8pm PDT. Octopus trivia, video, and interactive puzzles will abound, and we’ll be fundraising for the Ocean Conservancy, running productivity sprints, and other shenanigans! Come join the fun at twitch.tv/jayseaboom
