Queer bog creature. (They/Them) I usually write some combo of spooky, speculative, or sexy. I'm published in 10+ places under a different pen name.

Currently editing my trans/gay Frankenstein retelling "Ought to Be Thy Adam".

Heya #bluepit πŸ“–

I’m working with an editor on my queer/trans Frankenstein retelling β€œOught to Be Thy Adam”. I’ll be seeking representation later this year. Here’s a nibble:

πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ Trans rage & remaking
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Queer (✝️) guilt
πŸͺ‘ Late-1800s surgery
πŸš‚ European tour from hell

This is commissioned from my queer retelling so... definitely conflicted blushing. 😏 (When I looked at my full manuscript I couldn't deny their shared choking kink lol)

@ukstls.bsky.social took the request of Viktor being held down in "a little rough, a little erotic" way and made ✨magic✨ with it.

Unfortunately until my Frankenstein retelling is edited & picked up by an agent you all have to suffer through my unedited snippets. πŸ˜‚

I truly believe Mary Shelley would have loved "baby's first toxic yaoi" being applied to her story if she understood any of those words in 1818 πŸ˜‚πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

The excerpt is part of a big confrontation scene between Viktor and his now /very/ cognizant creation (that clocks him as πŸ’… from a mile away).

My hand ensnares your throat, trapping your racing pulse under my thumb. It would be so easy to end this, but an end is not an answer. Only absence.

Emma Bridge ran to find a safe home, but the town she picked is anything but. When she gets wrapped up in a cold case that threatens her siblings, who can she turn to while keeping her secrets safe?

Apocalypse cultist S awaits the end in an agony of stunted transfiguration. Fellow cultists observe her for any slip of duty while the demands of House Y's final rites occupy her days. The history of the manor & its former keepers will come for all of them.

"Ought To Be Thy Adam" is a queer Frankenstein retelling fuelled by internalized gay guilt and trans rage.

I'll be seeking representation this summer. In the meantime, I hope it finds the gothic horror monsters that will enjoy devouring it someday.

Since I'm done edits (for now) I'll share a stray fave for #FaveLineFriday.

I love Viktor's over-the-top ways of describing intimacy in any form. πŸͺ±

His crush? Maggot. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

(Also I know November is TECHNICALLY still autumn... but I live somewhere where November is basically winter so I'm biased, haha.) β˜ƒοΈ
January 29, 2026 at 9:42 PM
The seasons are huge markers of time in my story. By proxy, winter features heavily. It tends to be when the most intense parts of my story happen. πŸ₯Ά A lot of that has to do with Mary Shelley placing the creation of the monster in November and me honouring that & revisiting its anniversary.
January 29, 2026 at 9:41 PM
Absolutely. I always say there's a genderless version of "girl" and "dude" anyways. πŸ˜‚ I used to call my 50+ year old cis male boss "girl" on the reg.... surely Narok can be a girls' girl man.

😘 It can only be matched by how excited I am for YOUR novella.
Cannot overstate how excited I am for this

The snippets I've been mercifully offered are to die for. I hope to see this complete soon! ❀️

Final passes are such whiplash edits. One minute I'm tweaking an emotional scene and the next my barbie dolls are trying to kill each other.
