So I wrote a stand-alone holiday-themed story set in the Avania universe, and as you may guess if you're familiar with my work, it centers around a young Fontania Eraclare...

This was a bit of a writing exercise for me, as despite writing many, many pages for the Avania comic, those were all in script format, so this is the first proper short story I've written intended to be complete in text alone... I embraced the pants side of writing more than I usually do too, and as such wrote most of this based only on a single scene as the end goal. I started writing on and off earlier in the fall with Christmas as my deadline, but once we'd got into mid December I realized I would need to buckle down and write every day for a little over a week to ensure it was done on time! I ended up writing a lot more than I thought I would, but I guess that is always a possibility when you aren't following some kind of structure or outline.

In any case, I hope you enjoyed this story, and I look forward to trying my hand at it again in the future (though probably without a holiday deadline)!

Speaking of which, be sure to stay tuned for the upcoming 14th chapter of Avania, premiering January 2nd 2022 on https://worldofavania.com !
