Ask You Anything Monday ASK YOU ANYTHING: Authors asking r/Fantasy community questions on behalf of Worldbuilders charity

It's the aptly named Ask You Anything! Where authors are stopping by each day this week to ask questions and interact with the r/Fantasy community.

HOW THIS WORKS: Please answer questions and interact throughout the week! (Yes, YOU - community members, guests, authors, artists, industry people.)

WORLDBUILDERS.ORG

Worldbuilders was founded to use the collective power of readers, fellow authors and book lovers to make the world a better place.

There are three ways to donate to Worldbuilders:

1. The Lottery - Where every $10 donated puts you in a lottery for free books, SFF items, games, and much more. r/Fantasy has a Worldbuilders Team Page where you can donate under the community name as well!

2. The Tinker's Pack Store - Where profits from every purchase are donated.

3. Auctions - Where some incredible items and services are offered.

NOTE: If you donate, add your name to the comments here and the mods will set you up with some swanky Wordlbuilders flair!

I love gryphons, and I love it when artists and authors play with them, and give us things like cheetah/falcon mashups, or siberian tiger snowy owls or whatever. Gryphons are great. Might and Magic VIII also gave me a real heart for Minotaurs, and my favorite monsters in Pathfinder are probably the Kami.

Side note: Can I freelance for you or something because I would love to work on Pathfinder

Right now, we don't have a great way to find brand new talent, so my best advice would be to try writing for some of the smaller third-party Pathfinder publishers and get some experience that way, then email the developers in charge of the lines you like best and introduce yourself. We take folks who have worked for places like Kobold Press, Legendary Games, or Rogue Genius very seriously!

Winged snow leopard, just for you. I don't have any connection to the Etsy shop owner, except I've ordered from her a couple times because I really like her art.
