Timasomo 2025: The Showcase
Timasomo 2025 is now officially complete!
Over the next few days, participants will be posting their creations and efforts in this topic to showcase their work to the community.
Comments and feedback are both welcome and encouraged.
Let these creators know what an awesome job they've done!
Creators: In posting your showcase:
- Give your project a title, and use the
#markdown to make it stand out in the showcase thread! - Link to your project in whatever way works best for it.
- If you like, give a "creator statement" that contextualizes what your project is.
- Add anything else you consider relevant! The showcase is yours!
- If you need examples, take a look at last year’s showcase.
Also, I strongly encourage you to make your own topics showcasing your work in their respective tildes (e.g. ~life, ~tech, etc.). This showcase is only visible to those subscribed to ~creative.timasomo, but the wider Tildes audience will undoubtedly appreciate your efforts as well.
Community:
- Treat this thread like a walk through an art gallery or a museum where you get to see different works on display.
- Simple appreciations for the creators are not noise—they are valuable community support!
- Make sure any feedback you give is constructive and meant to help.
Pinging all Timasomo participants/conversationalists: the Showcase is here! This is the final notification you’ll receive from me for Timasomo 2025.
Thank you all for your interest in Timasomo. See y'all again next year!

Please mark this comment as noise so that the projects can be the feature of the showcase.
I'll be brief. This month, I wrote a little over fifty thousand words towards an
as-yet untitled work of full length genre fiction.
Here's the proof!, with a little sample included. The novel will follow two characters exploring a fantastical dream-city under the sea, both sent by the same woman for the same task, their sojourns separated by a gulf in history. The story of the first character, Poppy, is about two-thirds done, I think.
I won't post the whole thing here, but I will post my favourite chapter so far, which can nearly be understood on its own, and sees Poppy visiting a strange and inconsistent government building, while dealing with her suppressed memories struggling to resurface. Please bear in mind this is a rough draft, and therefore, the sample will disappear in thirty days, and also, secondarily, the quality might not be quite up to par. Feedback is allowed, but only if you're nice to me!
Scattered thoughts about the process: most of my writing in recent years has been either smut, scriptwriting, or critique. I found writing prose much harder than any of the three, due to a combination of rust and the fact that all the other modes are quite a bit more limited in scope and objectives. Yesterday, for the Backlog Burner event that's currently ongoing in ~games, I wrote a critique of the game Citizen Sleeper that was about 2500 words long in the space that it usually takes me to write, like, 800 words of readable first-draft prose, and it was probably better than anything I wrote through all of October. But I'm glad to be developing my skills as a writer nonetheless and will be glad to continue working on this draft for as long as it takes -- probably well over a year -- to finish and then revise it.
Many thanks to kfwyre for running the event, and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has made!
