"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

When Gia saved her best friend Florimo from death at the hands of the Silence, she did so knowing it would cost her own life. But Gia's never been one to take things at face value--she questions, she experiments, and she finds the solutions that the world thought was impossible. Her quest to save both herself and Florimo brings her into her own memories and ultimately to a crucial decision. A side story from the world of the Silversong Saga. Feedback appreciated.
