I'm going on a much-needed social media/marketing break until 2026 because I am, DRAINED (and there's no vampire in sight, which seems rude of the universe). I'll be active on Discord (my comfort platform). If you'd like to stay connected, hit me up on there.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder
And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

And yes, I'm Frankenstein-ing the Messiah. Del Toro's Creature still has a mighty hold on me.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Do I have a few story concepts I could totally write to submit to this? Why yes.
Are they Lost Gods-related and ex-captive/captor wound-play, captive/traitor-captive/captor-who's-in-heat, or priest/the person-he-definitely-shouldn't-trust smut? All with power imbalances and dub/noncon? Of course!

Do you make hardcore/transgressive achillean art?

For the sake of transparency--although I'm sure it's very obvious that I'm not rolling in money in general let alone from my writing--I have a full-time job not in the creative industry. I'm fortunate enough to be able to work on writing while at day job.

This is a pretty flawed argument. "You should be grateful that people want your work enough to steal it." Would someone say that to a sculptor or a creative who made material art? I don't think so. It's in vogue now to denigrate written art.
piracy is a completely aspirational problem for any author in america to have and i think anyone trying to stake out an anti-piracy position is a demon full stop

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

it's always interesting when conversions about horror romance arise, with even transgressive folks agreeing there is no way for the two to coexist. like it might be a fucked up romance, much like what we see in dark and gothic romance, but idk...

the main problem is that sex and relationships are so firmly slotted into the capital-R Romance genre that the second you read, say, a fantasy with more than one sex scene, people who would otherwise Know Better clutch their pearls that it isn't erotica
