Hello, everyone! I’m Samuel, the author of The Magician’s Burden, and the WIPS, The Enchanter’s Misery, Winter of the Bovine, and Mass Mother Murderer. I have a new story ready for testing: The Twisted Village, a medieval romance and thriller:
Summary:
In The Twisted Village, madness festers. Something lurks behind every shadow. Inside every peace is a skeleton of violence. Behind every smile is a conniving intention. Here, no one is really normal, and everyone has something to hide.
When your downtrodden and impoverished citizenry seems beaten and hopeless, a mysterious vigilante, Kayos, seeks justice through violent and radical means. Will you fight against this villain to save your village; use the mayhem to become more powerful yourself; or ally with him to burn the corrupt establishment to the ground?
What there will be when the story is complete:
250k words
Play as male, female, or nonbinary; romance males, females, both, or no one at all
Dozens of stats detailing your relationships, skills, knowledge, and attributes

Sam, you got to tell me what is your secret. The amount of projects you are doing simultaneously is staggering. With that said, I applaud the fact you are keeping yourself busy. It seems interesting, doesn’t have that immediate hook like MMM, but knowing you, you are bound to surprise us as usual. Keep up the good !
Lord what the hell is this town? A purgatory? Its slightly unnerving how odd the people. Even if slightly. Im certainly curious as to where our friends alliances are. (Themselves most likely.)
Nice job!
Well, all of my stories are just ways for me to vent my emotions. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I have this strange interest and attraction towards fucked up people, and I wanted to explore it in a narrative form.
Malin is a manipulative kleptomaniac. Kazia is a power hungry pyromaniac. Aldred is a sociopathic graffiti artist. Esther is a narcissistic sex addict.
You are such a dedicated writer!! The characters are never boring, and just about every concept you come up with is incredible. I love the idea of being apart of the weird town instead of just being an outsider! I tend to gravitate towards the thief types, so I’m excited to see how the story progresses
Incidentally, I have really bad insomnia, and I stayed up from 7am on Sunday to 4am on Monday. Basically I got up at 7am to go to work, then I got back home at like 5pm, and ended up watching Dexter and writing for the next 11 hours. I wrote 1k for Winter of the Bovine and the entire 7k word demo for The Twisted Village, so that’s the most I’ve ever done in one day.
