For day 6 of #AdventPromo I'd like to tell you I dabble in game design. Teeny-tiny games, so far.
My first ever game is a solo rpg/journalling game called "Singö - A weekend in the countryside". In it you return to your childhood summer home and... lounge about? Bake cookies? Meet a troll? Only the cards and your imagination will decide.
Check it out here: https://emmalindhagen.itch.io/singo-a-few-days-in-the-countryside
Free community copies are available!
For Day 7 of #AdventPromo, we're going back to the Orryn Novellas.
Let me tell you about book 2 in the series, Dress Rehearsal Rag.
In it, Orryn contends with complicated feeling about her nephew, her sister and William, the new guy at the commune whose gentle nature draws her in. Also anxiety.
Can also be read as a standalone.

#AdventPromo Day 8
This is maybe a "Hello" more than a "promo", but is anyone else here on #4thewords?
I am! My name there is emmalindhagen and I'm always happy to friend people. I also post my #FlashFiction there for those who like to read on the site!
For the unfamiliar, 4TheWords is a v cute website that lets you fight monsters and level up by writing. I love it!
If anyone wants to try it out, my ref link is PZXEA90600 (we both get stuff if you stick around).
For Day 9 of #AdventPromo, I'm turning to the future. And also to my fellow #LanguageNerds!
Let me tell you about Languages Spoken Badly, my YT-channel in the making. On it, I will be bumbling my way through many different kinds of grammar, and also rave about all the cool language things I learn.
If that sounds fun, maybe hit "Subscribe"? It's launching in February on: https://www.youtube.com/@LanguagesSpokenBadly
I'm both very excited, and very nervous, about the whole thing!
Language enthusiasm and imperfection, in equal doses. Coming early 2024. I'm Emma, a Swedish glossophile perpetually trying to learn a slightly unrealistic number of languages. Join me as I stumble over my words in various languages, detail my language learning journey and wax poetic about my latest language crush.
For day 10 of #AdventPromo, I've got a little gift for y'all!
"Rising to the Occasion" is a Christmassy short that takes place leading up to and on St. Lucia's Day (Dec 13th), which is one of my fave parts of Swedish Christmas. It contains:
- a cute (found family) niece
- a complicated relationship with yeast leading to baking anxiety
- a tentative attempt at befriending a neighbor
AND from today until the 13th, it's FREE!

Tonight's #AdventPromo (day 10) is a bit niche but here it is:
Cat Map is a tiiiiny little map making game (gamified tool?)!
Here it is!: https://emmalindhagen.itch.io/cat-map
I made it for a game jam about using components for a board game to make a game. It's made to be played with the tiles from board game Calico, but you can use other hex tiles too with a bit of tweaking.
It's silly and small but I think it's fun! And it was my first jam!
Free community copies available.
I completely forgot my #AdventPromo last night! Serves me right for waiting so late most days, hah.
Well, first a reminder that "Rising to the Occasion", my fluffy #StLuciasDay short about baking and making friends, is free until the end of the day. (In which time zone, I'm not quite sure). You can find it here: https://books2read.com/b/rising-to-the-occasion
Now on to the actual promo for the day...
For day 13 of #AdventPromo I want to tell you about another of my MälarQueer books!
"Pine Needles and Fireworks" is a contemp, NA #sapphicromance about what happens when an introverted planner nerd falls for her Mom Friend roommate and is then left in charge of the Christmas tree... It's fluffy and cute, and at about 17k it's a great, quick winter read!
It's currently 50 % off and will be so until St. Knut's Day (Jan 13th). Check it out: https://books2read.com/b/pine-needles-and-fireworks
It's Day 14 of #AdventPromo and for the second day in a row I am posting before midnight. Go me!
Inspired by hanging out w my bestie today and slow-binging an old fave, let me tell you about my #FanFiction!
My main fandom is #StarTrek (TNG and some DS9)! Though I haven't started posting the DS9 yet... And the TNG is soon-to-be revived!
I also occasionally write #CriminalMinds, #CriticalRole and like, random indie games now and again.

#AdventPromo, day 15. Let me tell y'all about my #ko-fi page!
For the unfamiliar, Ko-fi is a website that lets creatives of all stripes accept one-time or ongoing donations from those interested in their work!
http://ko-fi.com/emmalindhagen
My members get sneak peeks, access to a supporter-only Discord channel, a chance to influence my streaming content AND (on the higher tier) free ebook copies of all my selfpub stuff.
They also get to shape a very exciting project I'll tell you about soon!

Day 16 of #AdventPromo is about an upcoming project I'm very excited about:
🔹 Prep Work 🔹
Prep Work is a series of lightly gamified #worldbuilding tools that I'm producing! It involves using a deck of cards to randomize prompts and letting sequence and chance guide your building and getting you over worldbuidling blocks and out of ruts.
You can read about how it works here: https://ko-fi.com/post/Prep-Work--Quick-Mechanic-Overview-S6S6MO7Q9
Or here, with fewer specifics and more background: https://ko-fi.com/post/Re-introducing-Prep-Work-L4L3I4Q1P

#AdventPromo, Day 16, 2/2
#PrepWork also ties in to my #Kofi (day 15). My Ko-fi members get sneak peaks of materials, get to vote on topics, give feedback if they so choose and, of course, they get a free copy of each volume as it comes out.
The first volume is for building religions and will, all fingers crossed, finally be out in January!
