6 images split into 2 columns, the first image is of a magic book, the second is the silhouette of a demon, the third is magic shouting out of a persons hands, the fourth is an image of old brick buildings lined down a foggy street, the fifth is of a figure walking down a cobblestone street holding an umbrella, and the sixth shows a pentacle drawn in chalk on a wooden floor

Hello! I'm an Afro-Indigenous Venezuelan writer, and my debut, featuring a brown vampire, recently opened preorders.

Interview with the Vampire x Frankenstein

🩸 Hurt/Comfort
🩸 BIPOC Vampire

Pre-order now. Bleed Later. On a black background, at the top, it says cover reveal. The book cover for Awaken, My Love, written by Marat Earendel, is underneath at the center. The illustrated cover shows a brown vampire with red eyes and shoulder-length wavy black hair wearing antique black and white clothing while looking toward the viewer. He is holding a man in his hands. The man is pale with long beige hair, wearing white and cream colored clothing. He is in profile, looking up and gripping the vampire's shirt. There are split open pomegranates threaded through the burgundy title of the novel. In the background is a broken gothic window, and at the bottom are chains. The cover is in shades of reds, browns, mauves, and blacks.

I decided that my bday gift to myself would be finishing this chapter I've been laboring over way too long

Well, bday is on Friday and today I (basically) finished the chapter and also hit 60k words, I'd say I did good for myself😌

#AmQuerying #Querying #LitAgents
An agent's guide to The "Evil" Fairy A fantasy novel by Julia LaFond The background is a tessellation of white butterfies and yellow-green vines. Pitch SHREK starring MALIFICENT The fairy Rancoria pretends to be evil to get out of parties. Then she learns a king's new bride is an evil witch who intends to murder her way to the throne. To avoid breaking character, Rancoria decides to save the pre-teen princess by kidnapping her—realizing too late she's just adopted a houseguest. Excerpt ...No sense putting it off any further than that, so I appeared before the intruders in a puff of smoke. The knights screamed, cowering back from me. One even tripped into a patch of mud. I cackled with all the glee I could muster. “Fools! Who are you to trespass upon my domain?” “Wicked creature!” proclaimed the man closest to me. Tall and thin, with long black hair and polished armor, his shield bore the crest of the Wintermount Kingdom. “I, Prince Gallien, have come to rid the world of your evil!” The knights straightened up, raising their swords and voices in agreement. “Do not think your corrupted power will save you,” he continued, subtly moving his shoulders so his cape fluttered in the breeze. “No matter what horrors you’ve filled this fetid swamp with—” “You dare?” I called down lightning, drowning out his insults with thunder. Marshlands were essential for clean water and provided a home for many kinds of animals, yet humans insisted on treating them as if they were noxious, evil places that ought to be wiped from the face of the earth. Not that I could say that part aloud. “Leave this place at once,” I intoned, “else your lives are forfeit.” Most Chaotic No Context Quotes 1. He was too occupied with fending off the swarm of skeletons in wedding dresses. 2. The confused croak of a frog caught my attention. That poor shrub. 3. At the last possible second… the [truth] spell hit the baby. 4. [I] wasn’t sure I’d ever get the taste of sap out of my mouth, but at least I had thumbs again. 5. [She] really should have sent an adviser better able to blend in, like the seven-foot-tall, three-headed scout. Honorable Mention [H]is ideas of how to “vanquish” me included: stealing my “spellbook” (an ordinary cookbook); disguising himself as my “mother” and sternly lecturing me about my wrongdoing (forgetting fairies don’t have parents); and my personal favorite: goading me into cursing him and trying to use an ordinary mirror to reflect it back at me.

2025 was pretty rough for most of us. But you're still here, bro. "But I didn't achieve my goals" Maybe not, but working toward them is never a waste. The things you managed to do, work on, learn, and create is plenty of an achievement. Give yourself some credit. You did your best. You did great.

This started out as a normal post. It did not stay that way. bone app the teeth.

Speaking of teeth... vampire book for thee?
Yes: https://books2read.com/silverblood
This is a very normal and not unhinged arrow map thingy whatever. Sometimes the answer to your problems is to run away with a hot vampire. (10/10 would recommend.) (when will it be my turn...) I sympathize with Cyrus bc if I found a book belonging to a vampire from an elite family and he turned out to be really hot and also really intelligent and kind I would also uproot my entire life without hesitation. One chonky vampire book wasn't enough so I'm writing a second one. Extremely indicative tha

Been a little busy with the holidays and packing, but my flash piece An Unholy Savior is now published! Thank you to @livinapress.bsky.social for featuring it in the 2nd issue of Midnight Ink!!! You can find this and more in the magazine available here: a.co/d/3oNc1f8
An Unholy Savior by Ash White Tonight was the night Annabel would escape. She had been trapped in this manor for over a month, and the full moon was tomorrow. If she didn't leave now, the residents of the manor would make certain to sacrifice her. The wind howled past Annabel as she peered out the tiny window of her third story room and into the night. Her rope of bedsheets and scrap cloth swung down below, stretching to reach the moist earth. It wasn't perfect, but it hung low enough for her to descend without breaking a leg. "I do believe it's improper for young ladies to be climbing out of windows late at night, is it not?" A voice behind her remarked. Annabel jumped away from the window, her heart hammering against her chest. She had never heard the door open. She scanned the dark room for the source of the voice. Had her captors caught on to her plan? She inched over to a small table by the window, fingers curling around the cold metal of the unlit candelabra that sat upon it. "Show yourself!" "No need to be afraid." The source of the voice stepped out of the shadows and into the pale moonlight, hands held up in a placating gesture. Annabel gasped. "You-You're covered in blood!" She was horrified to notice it not only covered his priestly attire but poured from his mouth and dripped from his hands. She swung the candelabra in front of her to ward off the man. "Don't come any closer!" "My, would you look at that?" The older gentleman examined himself in surprise. "Rest assured, it's not my blood." "What does it matter who's blood it is?" Annabel screeched, gripping her makeshift weapon tighter. She had all the cultists' twisted faces seared into her memory; this man was not one of them. Such knowledge provided no relief. At least she knew what the cult was capable of. "You're a monster!" The priest - though, she was doubtful of his legitimacy as such - sighed. "Monster I very well may be, but tonight I am your savior and have slain the very monsters that took you." The candelabra tumbled to the wooden floor with a hard thump. "Truly?" Annabel had thought no one would save her from this nightmare, that she was forgotten. There had been hope, at first. But with each night that passed, that hope dimmed. "I am an old friend of your mother's; she sent me to find you. I apologize that it took me so long." Annabel fell to her knees, relief flooding her. "Who are you?" She whispered. "I have never seen you before, and certainly have never heard of my mother knowing someone so terrifying." "Who I am is of no concern, simply know that I am someone who appears when it matters." He strode forward, closing the gap between them, and held out a hand. "Now, I believe it is time to leave." Annabel hesitantly slipped her hand into that bloodied one. Her savior helped her up and turned for the door. The candelabra glinted from the spot it'd been dropped. She quickly scooped it up and hid it by her side. Annabel let the weight comfort her as she smiled at her unholy savior, ready to face whatever came next.

I love how every artist has a different style that's wholly and uniquely them. even if ppl draw in the same general style, there's still just ✨something✨ about it that has the fingerprints of its creator and I think that's part of what makes art so beautiful
