Welcome to The Forge: Fiction by Liora! 👉Start Here
Fiction forged in fire — stories hammered into shape from lived truth and imagination
Updated: 11.21.2025
Welcome to the Forge
I stand at the doorway
peaking inside—
wondering should I enter
or turn aside?
A voice hails from within,
calling my name—
a warmth so inviting,
circled by flames.
Encouraged to share dreams
and speak my truth;
my visions are welcomed,
I’m gifted proof…
More to come, my friends! 🔥
Why The Forge exists
Poetry gave me my voice. It was survival.
But fiction — fiction is proof I’ve healed far enough to imagine again.
I’ve always been a reader. Stories shaped me, taught me how to endure, how to believe, how to escape when the walls closed in. Now I’m writing my own, and this space is where I strike them into shape.
The Forge is where heat and hammer meet imagination. Some stories draw directly from the systems I’ve worked in. Others bend toward myth or the uncanny. All of them are tempered by lived fire.

How subscriptions work
Free: chapter 1 of any serial, each new chapter open for 7 days, all collaborations and showcases.
Paid: the full forge —
Unlimited fiction archive and ongoing access to every new chapter
Worldbuilding and process notes (what I was aiming for, why I made certain choices)
Previews of upcoming arcs and drafts
Priority invitations to prompts and collaborations
And if you want to follow the entire fire circle — poems, reckonings, and fiction together — All-Access gives you everything across all publications.
Why subscribe
Because stories matter. They shape how we see the world, how we endure it, how we imagine something better.
If you want to dip in, free is always here. If you want to walk alongside me as these worlds grow, see how they’re built, and never lose the thread, step inside as a member.
How The Forge fits the circle
The Forge doesn’t stand alone. It’s one flame in the larger fire.
Flagship (Liora Writes): the heart — poems, reflections, and the monthly Connections post.
The Reckoning Lens: clarity — systemic analysis, free snapshots and full reckonings. Coming Soon!
The Forge (here): imagination — the stories that prove healing can become creation.
Together, they form the fire circle.
Closing word
This space is part workshop, part bonfire. Stories hammered into shape, sparks flying, and a circle of readers who keep the forge lit.
Step closer. Mind the sparks.
Thanks for walking through the door. — Liora
