Hello, I'm Ethan Vanek, freelance SEO writer and author of post-apocalyptic horror fantasy and vampire stories with overwhelmingly LGBTQIA+ OCs. Currently working on WIPs in those genres.

An old. Cut my teeth on Delany, Tiptree, Lee. Unapologetic trans punk.

I feel this. My advice: pick your favorite scene you have in your head. Write that out. Look at the word count. That can give you a baseline as to what you can add before/after that to set up & finish off the action.

On the eve of my carpal tunnel release, my hand & wrist helpfully remind me why I'm doing this. 😰

I'm particularly annoyed when people get mad at me for things they read into my words.

Feral Writer @feralwriter.bsky.social · 14h

Im terribly sorry. I blocked at the first message. I'm not engaging with someone determined to misunderstand me

Current-borne, wave-flung, tugged hugely by the whole might of ocean, the jellyfish drifts in the tidal abyss. The light shines through it, and the dark enters it.

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

yes this timeline is a rough route. yes there are waves of strife. but behind it all lies the inertia of all things which prompted fish to trot out of the ocean and humans to gather in commune. we are driven to fill the nothing with ourselves, with LOVE. its the unconquerable wind behind our sails

I feel like Whedon has a gloss of 90s sarcasm to his "jokes," the kind that I thought was cool then. But now that I've gone to therapy, I realize how toxic that is?

Edgy? No, babe. Dysfunction in a leather jacket.

Kansai Yamamoto’s asymmetric bodysuit, crafted for Bowie in 1973, became iconic in the Ziggy/Aladdin era. Inspired by Kabuki theatre and the yin–yang of opposites, it captured duality: masculine/feminine, human/alien, chaos/control. ⚡ #DavidBowie

Released on this day in 1983, "Temple of Love" was the fifth single by #TheSistersOfMercy. It topped the #UKIndieChart a week after release, and the 1992 re-release went to No.3 on the #UKSinglesChart. It remains an anthem for #gothclub dancefloors the world over!

On this day in 1849, famed American poet and writer #EdgarAllanPoe died in Baltimore. This is a daguerreotype made of him just a month prior to his death. He was widely regarded as one of the central figures of #Romanticism and #Gothicfiction in the United States and of early American literature.
