As the Dragon Realm buzzes with news of the three stories, my first update to the project talks about the genders of words and pronouns in Romanian.



Currently, in Romanian, we don't have an official, ungendered, third person pronoun. What we do have is a polite, formal set. Dumneasa, in third person. It means, in literal translation, "their lordship" as it's the modern, compact form of "domnia sa." More about this here.

We are absolutely thrilled to have reached our first goal for Alia Terra! Thank you everyone! Minimum funding gives us one illustration per story, but if you're like me, your inner dragon will want the hoard of pretty drawings to increase! Emily's update talks about what happens next.

Alia Terra's talented illustrator, Matthew Spencer, talks about his process and the stages of our main graphic image here.

What do we do when traditional folkwear is available in the eternal men's/women's binary but we have nonbinary characters? We reinvent! An update on the design of characters in Alia Terra with Romanian inspiration. Illustration by Matthew Spencer.



Gender diversity is important in the real world, and through stories we strive to impress this message. Read about it here.

Today, an update about the Romanian concept of the Other Realm and how it fits with the Alia Terra stories. I hope you enjoy it. We are so close (so close!) to being able to add a hardcover, so please let people know about our queer, nonbinary, aromantic story project. Emily's fingers are ready to type updates and posts about it; let's get her to work. (^_^) Read here.
