"If you're gonna be a dreamer, better be a doer." - Lainey Wilson
Hi, I'm Brandit, a college student and writer from the US currently living in New Zealand. I found Fictish after I saw an ad for it, and it has given me a great place to practice writing and collaborating in all sorts of different genres! My favorite genre to write is fantasy, especially anything involving animals. I've currently just finished writing the first novel in a middle grade series about a secret society of people who can talk to animals. In addition to an author, I'm also a songwriter, board game enjoyer, and geography enthusiast. Pronouns: she/her.
Some of my favorite stories I've read/written on here in the past few weeks:
The Assassin by IQuest and Riot45: https://www.fictish.com/write/read/bee2c39ce3f652ad7d9c717744857088ede1db46.html
A Story of Horses by Alexis, Glenda, Riot45, and Prinkes: https://www.fictish.com/write/read/08e1e7a807fcec1de19f3b74ebc52890832e8d8d.html
The Day The World Stopped Spinning by storymaster, me, and Riot45: https://www.fictish.com/write/read/0675795c3f779b00ef5525222e2fae553886da8b.html ...more

Maxie faces the wrath of the crew after prioritizing escape over essential ship functions. I’m again super proud of this chapter, and world overall, and would really appreciate a read (or even a like/comment!) as it would be majorly appreciated. Thanks!
