Hi dear, Our life has become a cycle of cold nights and hungry days 💔.
We try to stay hopeful.

But each day becomes harder 🍉.
Our tent can’t protect us from winter’s brutality, and we’re losing strength.
Your help might be the blessing that keeps us going.

We need your support and help.
Please consider making a donation 💚
Your support can help us rebuild, heal, and find hope again after all we’ve endured.

If you wish your magical girl stories hit harder and were gayer, I made The Plight of the Last Paladin for you!

Fly High Sink Deeper is a sci-fi series set in the 5030s. A story about women who love women learning who they are, who they want to be, and how to use that to destroy a fascist theocracy. Drama, humor and horror, all wrapped in a compelling far future setting!

The hive mind aliens in Triple Strike are peaceful and quite tolerant of other starfaring species.

On a less intellectual side, Sven and Alan have an age gap, but everyone, including Alan, forgets that Sven is older than him, because it's really not obvious by how they act 😅

Anti-tropes: what are some tropes that you've purposefully avoided in your WIP? OR, are there any tropes that you've put a twist on?

Hey, folks, here's The Sanctuary for Fractured Souls, the game we built for the Game Writing SIG Arcjam!

A magical storm threatens the inn you built as a haven for mythical beings, and you must uncover who's behind it before it destroys it all!

There's love, and then there's one of your beta readers leaving a fantastic review of your book to inaugurate its entry to Storygraph and Goodreads.

Whatever that is, it's better than love.

i sold 2 books this month and one was a paperback of CONSORT AND I to someone in germany!! 😱 it's so interesting to think about how far from home our stories can travel. especially as a physical copy! surreal.

taking this as a sign from the universe to include a link for once.

The funniest thing about when/how Alan lost his virginity in TS is:
1) Colin has been in love with Alan since academy
2) Colin and Alan fake dated in the academy
3) Colin has to comfort Alan when things immediately Go Wrong the next day

He was the best of homies, he was the worst of homies. Colin!

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Christmas is coming up. And I want to take a moment to tell you all that now is the best time to sign up for an artist or writer's Patreon.

I have a day job. But a lot of creatives rely entirely on the income from their creative work. Even one dollar to a creative can make a huge difference.

#NovemberWorldbuilders Day 24

Alan's great-grandfather is arguably the most famous pirate in pyrean history, and the series starts because Alan has Tristan's sword. Tristan is still alive, but he gave his sabre to his granddaughter when he retired. After she died, Tristan went full hermit.
#NovemberWorldbuilders Let's talk about how the world's history directly impacts your main character (or some other important character in the world you're developing). Do they have an important ancestor? Was there a specific event, say a war or diaspora, that impacted their current life?

Alan prefers to keep his hair long enough to pull back in a ponytail. He'd keep it even longer if not for regulation reasons. Alan would deny caring, but he's 100% fussy about his appearance. Sven cuts his own hair if that's not obvious.

(Picture of their first meeting for reference lol).

Went to the Books and Friends Bookish Market and picked up a bunch of books and zines! Including a rare, gratuitous selfie of my outfit because I got so many compliments while I was out. Overalls: queer catnip 😂.

A reminder that I have a new book full of gay and trans magical girls and hot sorceresses and creepy tech people and lesbianism and big action sequences and Portland indie rock band vibes and a trans elder magical girl and a cool agender hacker!

I’m using every available bit of energy—which admittedly is not all that much—to get this baby ready for you.

It’s a weird mix of light and thoughtful, sexy and head-trippy, and just all-around fun!

A planetary adventure.

With mechanical lesbians.

And a <redacted redacted>.

Coming soon!

My partner was on Windows 11 (I'm still on 10), and he moved to Fedora yesterday. Got almost everything working (ZBrush and Adobe are still big question marks), but the wildest part is that his frame rate in games *has gone up* by like 20+ fps. Linux is a strict performance increase? What even...
