FINAL FANTASY X Back to the Future
Someone's altering the past. Jance, a 16YO goofball who discovers he's part alien, must clear Sammy, an alien with PTSD, to stop the ruin of reality before she's jailed and he's erased from reality.
Too bad the suspect died 25 years ago.

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

Time to share another page of what I'm working on. Go pirate deer, go!
A pirate deer stands on the bow of a ship, and points to the horizon.

If it makes you feel any better I had one done years ago and it honestly wasn't that bad. Worst was getting the first shot of novacane. Didn't feel the subsequent shots.

Good luck, and if you feel something, let the dentist know.

Hello, revisions, my old friend
I've come to deal with you again
Because a critique that I recieved
Found plot holes in the story I have weaved
And the ideas that were planted in my brain
Still remain.
Time to apply them... in revisions.

He leaned down, posting his long arms on either side of me as his mouth neared mine. As our breath mingled, he whispered, “You are one exquisite phantom.” His hot lips brushed mine, teasing me. Meeting his smoldering crystal gaze, I knew it was helpless to argue with myself. If anyone was under a spell, it was me.

A text excerpt from OP's work in progress, overlaid on a purple-and-orange duotone grill with flames rising out of the sides: The tangible world felt like autopilot. Abigail waited for it to shut off, to split open, dredge a rift through her very consciousness, until she was irreparably entangled in a surreality that threatened her grasp on the corporeal. She gazed into the flames beneath the char grill, challenging them to prove their existence. She stuck out a finger and touched the grate. It took only a moment for the heat to settle through her calloused fingertip, when a thousand boiled pinpricks seared into the pad of her index finger. She withdrew, eyes glued to the ash-speckled pink spot growing brighter on her flesh, startled in equal parts by the fact that she was not dreaming, and that she had just burnt her fucking hand.

Getting kidnapped wasn't the worst thing to happen to Richard this week—until he heard the voice in his head. Richard quickly realizes he's been possessed by a demon named Kevin. Worse, this is Kevin's first time, and he did it wrong.

SCYTHE X ALTERED CARBON
There’s a look in a claimed's eyes when they’re taken. We’re told claimed don’t have time to process what’s happening. But each time I’ve seen a fleeting look of panic in their eyes before they go empty. Then life returns—but not theirs.

VENOM X RATATOUILLE
We all have our inner demons—Richard’s is just an amateur. Possessed by Kevin, he must learn how a spiked milkshake tied their lives together and resolve a centuries old conflict. Richard must conquer his inner demons or be dragged down to hell.

An edit of a movie poster with a dark background. It features a pale outstretched hand with smoke coming up, apparently emitted by the hand. Over the image are the words “Mage By Blood” in red letters. In smaller white letters are the names Theodore Snapdragon, Izak Biralei, Theodoric Heirdic, Adaline Helmorpus, and Nalai Biralei. In the bottom in yellow letters is the questions “Where do your loyalties lie?” Art of a huge, bleached tree in red grass with a light glowing in from of it.
