So last year I did vampires and I really enjoyed it, so this year I decided to keep going with the supernatural theme. This year I am going to do posts about
Fictional Deities and Demons
Some of the deities mentioned are from historical pantheons, but I will be talking about their roles in a fictional universe. I think it is fascinating how writers incorporate religion into their work and, in some cases, provide a whole background for religious icons in their stories.
With some of the supernatural entities I have chosen I picked them because I found them interesting when I read or watched where they came from. Others I have looked up and I just enjoyed what I found.
Each post will talk about the entity in question and, in some cases, there will be a small flash fiction inspired by that entity. Some days have two entities because I thought both were too interesting to pass up.

ReplyDeleteThank you :) Google had to help me with a couple of the letters ;)
DeleteI love how you've presented this, Natasha! Looks like you've put in a lot of research too. Looking forward to reading through April.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I love the AtoZ
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog (A Bench with a View) and your comment :) Your theme sounds really interesting, especially with the research I'm sure you did to prepare for it! And amazing too you are doing more than one blog for the challenge!! Good luck with it all :)
ReplyDeletebetty
Thank you :). Google and Wikipedia were my friend in certain cases, although, for once, Z was easy ::g::
DeleteYou had a huge spectrum of topics to choose from regarding this. It looks like you've really gone for some obscurities that must have required a lot of research. Impressive!

Thank you :). I basically went with ones that grabbed my attention of were already sitting at the back of my brain :)
DeleteI love learning about deities. Fun theme!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D

ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the posts when they happen. I've been having a lot of fun with these.

I am looking forward to learning a lot from your theme, I have no clue and it sounds facinating. Good Luck!
ReplyDelete:D I hope you enjoy the posts when they arrive.
DeleteCool theme. I love fictional dieties and such and will be checking in.
ReplyDeleteooh, this is so exciting. I'm going on the hunt for the follow button - I don't want to miss a post!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D I do hope you enjoy April.
DeleteHey! Thanks for stopping by my page. I can't wait to learn all about these Deities and Demons! I had to look up Deities and now I am excited :)
ReplyDeleteAllyse
Thank you :) hope the posts do not disappoint :)
DeleteWhat a fun theme! I look forward to learning about the ones I don' t know!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I had fun picking them all.
DeleteTo me they are all fictional >;)
ReplyDeleteCold As Heaven
One person's fictional is another person's faith - c'est la vie. Personally, with most of these I've very glad they are from the minds of writers rather than mystics.
DeleteWow, I have only heard of a few of these. I look forward to learning about your choices!
ReplyDeleteThank you. A lot of them are quite obscure - that was the fun part :)
DeleteImpressive! Complete with chart and everything. It's going to be fun to see what you do with this.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I like to look organised even if my legs are going madly underwater like a duck ;)
DeleteOOOO! Awesome theme! That list looks fantastic. I can't wait to read them!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I'm so looking forward to the AtoZ starting. So many fab themes.
DeleteLove the theme. There are some characters that I know of, and some that are new me. Looking forward to reading up on both. Will be following along in April.

Thank you :) I tried to go for some well known ones and some not so well know.
DeleteOoooo. I like this theme. Can't wait for it.
ReplyDeleteThank you :D Now I have to get my backside in gear and finish all the posts. I have a new book coming out on the 30th so I'm not as ahead of the game as I would like to be!
DeleteYou're off to a great start with Aslan :-) A few of those I haven't heard of before, so I look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too :D. I hope you enjoy the rest during April.
DeleteKinda scary!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this as I love writing horror and I can't wait to see the ideas that will pop into my head after reading your posts.

I like to appear organised even when I'm not so much ;)
DeleteAwesome! It'll be fun to hear about all the fictional deities.
ReplyDeleteThis will be fun and interesting. I haven't heard of any of them. I'll learn a lot from you, Tasha.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday.
Thank you, Happy Tuesday to you :)
DeleteTotally excited for Zuul
ReplyDelete:D For once Z was easy ;)
DeleteHi Tasha, looking forward to reading your posts. I'm happy to see Herne the Hunter up there, being a fan of the Robin Hood TV show from way back. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteSue Archer

Me too :) that's why Herne popped into my head. Thanks for returning my visit.
DeleteCool! I can't say I know much about deities and demons but it looks like I'll be learning!
ReplyDeleteIt's always amazing to me how different writers make their deities and demons - so much fun to research :)
DeleteWow, you're so organized. I love it. And you've chosen some more interesting deities that will be very cool to learn about. I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteI appear to be organised ... there may be some smoke and mirrors going on in places ;). I look forward to seeing you in April, thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOkay...see...now I'm just really curious about "W"... Very much looking forward to April 1st!!
ReplyDeleteI admit I Googled W and he was too good to pass up ;)
DeleteGreat theme! What a challenge! I'm looking forward to learning a lot from your posts. And how cool that you posted your post calendar! Hope to see you 'round the A-Z racetrack. :)
ReplyDeleteMichele at Angels Bark
Thank you :). I look forward to seeing you around too.
DeleteWhat a smart topic!
ReplyDeleteProbably not as smart as you might think ;)
DeleteWow, you've picked some great ones. And started with one of my personal favorites, Aslan. I can't wait to check out your posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have always loved Aslan, even since I saw the cartoon version of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe as a child. Read the books later.
DeleteA unique one with lots of research Natasha :) Loved the way you presented it too.. Definitely looking forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope they live up to expectations :)
DeleteThis is a fantastic theme!! I love this one the most of the three, so I'll definitely follow along here. :)

DeleteThis is going to be a popular theme, for sure! ☺ You've got everything so well-organized, too. Enjoy the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope to. This week is set aside for finishing up all the posts so all I have to do is visit other people :).
DeleteThanks for freaking me out with your awesome planning calendar Natasha! :D Just kidding! I must subscribe to your blog because your theme is a subject I love. Looking forward to hanging out during the A to Z! :) Off to check your other two A-Z blogs now.
ReplyDeleteLOL :D I look forward to chatting during the AtoZ too. Thank you so much for visiting.
DeleteI love this theme...
ReplyDeleteI am sure I would be getting some good reads!
Thank you :D
DeleteIntriguing theme! And I love how organised you are with your calendar! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you - if I pretend to be organised, maybe I will be :D
DeleteInteresting theme and wow you already have all 26 sorted. All the best.
ReplyDeleteI have the deities and demons decided on, I still have to write some of the posts though :) Thank you.
DeleteWell I have to admit Loki is my favourite too - I kind of have a Loki shrine on my desk - well Marvel Loki at least, although he's the Norse trickster and they are always the most interesting in a pantheon.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's one super awesome theme. Loved the calendar and the sneak peek, neat.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

Thank you :) It was fun deciding on which ones to pick.
DeleteGreat chart and some tempting days... starting with Aslan and including some fav books. Dune was one I devoured many decades ago.
ReplyDeleteI love Dune - not so keen in how it all played out in the end, but love Dune and really enjoy the SyFy mini-series of that and Children of Dune.
DeleteI'm intrigued by Q!! lol As in Star Trek TNG? Or no? lol
ReplyDeleteOh definitely :) he thinks he's a god after all.
DeleteI don't remember if I commented or not, but I look forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteCool idea! Looking forward to reading these!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteThis is right up my alley Natasha. I can't wait for April now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYay :) Today is the day where I try and get all the posts finalised. Wish me luck.
DeleteDemons and Deities sounds like a great idea. When I was younger I loved reading about Roman or Greek gods. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do this. Neat idea to put a calendar up. Maybe I'll see if I can do that too! Thanks for the idea... And thanks for dropping my blog and commenting. Lisa co-host AtoZ2015 @ lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone enjoys the posts as much as I have enjoyed compiling them :). I find the calendar very useful when I'm planning and I find it a good tool for enticing people in ;).
DeleteThere's quite a lot there that are new to me. Look forward to being educated and entertained!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) See you round the AtoZ.
DeleteOoh...deities and demons! Sounds fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteThis is a great theme!!
ReplyDeleteSupernatural is always interesting reading. I find it fascinating the things people believe in or create in a fictional world.

ReplyDeleteDear Natasha,
Great idea to post a schedule!
I am curious about your supernatural theme. I will have a few items along those lines, but only a handful.
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my reveal post.
I am still a little shaky, but I am feeling better today and more hopeful about doing the A to Z.
Best wishes,
Anna
P.S.
You are first commenter and receive an extra link back to your blog.
Thank you :) I like to post the schedule because it helps me organise and get the whole thing clear in my head. I love supernatural themes. Thank you ever so much for the link back, that's a great idea about first commenter, I'd never thought of that.
DeleteThat is awesome! And you have Gozer - too cool.
ReplyDeleteGozer and Zuul and you just reminded me, I wanted to add in Vinz Clortho for V as well and I had forgotten :). Have to have the hat trick to bring about the end of the world ;).
DeleteOoh! Love this! I'm especially interested in seeing what you do with Maud'dib...a personal favorite.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm heading over to see what type of fanfiction you write. I'm big into Vulcans, myself.
I finalised Maud'dib yesterday, after realising I spelt his name wrong in the calendar - oops :). I'm afraid, not many Vulcans, none of my early Trek fic made it online, thank heavens, because the longest one was a complete Mary Sue ... ;)
DeleteWow, deities and demons. That caught my attention. Sounds like an eerie and fun theme and I will definitely be back next month (dang, it's only days away), to read your posts. I love how organized you are . That is a fantastic calendar/chart for your posting schedule. I wish I could be that organized in my everyday life.
ReplyDeleteI am having a little mystery game for my crime fiction theme. There will be weekly prizes for solving daily clues and a grand prize at the end of April for solving the big crime. I hope you will stop by.
