Deaf Fantasy.

[Murasaki she/her]

So for a few years I've been developing stories, narratives, worlds, and characters.  

 

The genre, I'm supposing could be called Deaf Fantasy.  Many characters are Deaf and much dialogue occurs in a manual language.  Elements of Deaf culture are pervasive.  It's vital that I get this story out and represent Deaf and Hard of Hearing culture in Fantasy.  I'm passionate.  

 

Now, I finally have a second draft done.  As I'm going through working on my third draft, I am finding that it's time for some input, advice, and encouragement.  

 

So here's a prologue.

I like what I read. I especially like that you never say she's deaf. It's subtly obvious throughout the prologue, but you never outright say she can't hear things. I also enjoy the two characters you've done a great time showing who they are. I personally would enjoy reading further chapters.

Colour me intrigued. I would love to read more of this.
