I am now open for commissions. Below is my card with prices.

As the value of CAD to USD changes and I am Canadian, I have the prices in CAD. For quick conversion, assume prices are between 20-30% less than listed in USD, and you should be in the ballpark.

Alt text included with finished pieces.
Image of a commission card. There are three images, plus two icons. The icons are for Bluesky and Mastodon. The images are a sketch version of a black feline with a clock like face, triangular ears, and yellow eyes, a flat colour of the same, and a fully shaded version

Why does the UCP have to exist? Alberta would be so much better off without that shitshow
Fascism is self defeating (the nepotism leads to really bad handling and eventual collapse), but it takes down everything with it before it dies. So yeah, people need to act, it won't just move past, it will rot and decay until something shifts, and it could all be ash by then
Man I need a nap

Boy one can really see that the wiki lacks an editor *some of my typos include entire words missing*

Remember folks, editors are your friends

Once again, plugging my wiki. So long as you aren't a big company and give credit to me for what is taken, it's pretty much free to use. I'll link to one of the world pages, the one most linked to my horror work:

I kinda go for both. Funnily, I have a good example in Broke - She is one of what I call The Broken - People who, out of desperation, fear, or other reasons, took a deal with an Eldritch god, costing them dearly

Why do one when I can have both elements play off each other?
Q4.
Do hang around for the outro, in around 10 minutes.

Which is the easier route? Or the more satisfying?

#HorrorWritersChat
Q4 
In your stories: is desperation scarier than the supernatural?
#HorrorWritersChat

I try to scare as many as I can. But hey, I write what I know, so it's often gamers, socially isolated folks, etc. who may get scared by my work
#HorrorWritersChat Q3.

Who do you scare? As a writer, it's our chance to bite back, perhaps.
Q3 
Do you write horror that scares the poor, the wealthy or everyone equally?
#HorrorWritersChat

Oh sweet just soon enough to squeeze in another answer before my shift

It shapes it somewhat. Lots of horror derived from how society treats us neurodivergent by throwing us out, plus one of my main horror characters is literally named Broke for a few reasons
Q2. So many of you are diving in courageously. I salute you. Don't worry, now we go more abstract.
#HorrorWritersChat
Q2 
How does scarcity or deprivation shape the worlds you build in your stories?

#horrorwriterschat Hi. I’m Ian. I write absurd British horror films. I’m broke as shit emotionally and also my freezer leaked again.
Oh right then here we go, if it glitches I'll wait till it's back up then fire the next.
Can't say fairer than that. Hi #HorrorWritersChat, let's talk riches. Or poverty. Moral or cash, I don't mind which.
Horror is one of the more egalitarian genres I think. More room for poor...

Assemble, horror bods! 
Tell me what kind of horror you write, and how poor are you - financially or morally? You choose....

So hi #HorrorWritersChat, I'm Eryn, I write all kinds of horror. Currently leaning into grief and dystopian, but still psychological.
I'm definitely morally poor. Or rich, if you like, but I have few scruples.
Cash wise - I'm freelance. Grown from poor. So I'll always be prepared for the worst...

#HorrorWritersChat My name is Rosè Black. I write horror and horror comedy. Yeah, I'm pretty fucking broke considering I break even pretty much every month even though I live a pretty minimalist lifestyle short of foraging in the woods for my food.

I'm Amber, a horror and dark fiction writer from central Maine. I write all kinds of horror, most with cults or ghosts. I wouldn't say I'm poor per se, but I grew up in a trailer park in a moderately wealthy town, so I always felt poor.

Hello, #HorrorWritersChat! My name is Rami Ungar, I write horror and dark fantasy, and if I lost my job, I would probably also lose my car and condo within a few months. 😢

Hoi everyone! I'm J. Neira, slush reader for Graveside Press & I write cozy horror! I don't know how poor I an in relation to others. I'm working class & have around $30k in a savings account. I live in rural Minnesota.
Morally, I consider myself chaotic good. 😜

I’m Clover, and I write horror that takes cute and mundane things and twists them into something horrific! 😈
I’m an indie author, so I’m quite poor financially 😅 Morally, I’d say I’m doing well. I have a strong sense of justice and desire for equity (bonus of being autistic).

Hello #HorrorWritersChat. It’s me, ol’ Oli Jacobs, crafter of over 20 cosmic horrors and about 3-4 good ones. I am so poverty stricken both financially and morally that I single-handedly bring down the GDP of Europe, as well as Kitten Morality Scale(tm)

Tom Coombe here, writer of short horror stories. Rich people call themselves "comfortable." I'm what you might call "uncomfortable." I make enough money to pay my bills, but not enough to retire or save or do anything other than occasionally go out to eat.

Hi I'm HD Beird, condemned to live

Current research says HD stands for "Hoo Diss"

If I knew, I wouldn't be researching!

What I write I classify as horror because it fits the weird, but there's scifi, fantasy and smut too

I work payday to payday, so to then do my characters!

I am very lucky in that my beloved spouse makes decent money & I can stay home in a nice house & play with words. Morally, I am probably bankrupt, or maybe it's just my neurodiversity. I know I don't think about things like other people, which is probably why I love horror. #horrorwriterschat

Hello! I'm Gree, writer of body, psychological, and religious horror for my Bloodied Rose: Verses of Midnight setting!

Financially, I'm on a tightrope, and morally, I have my own sins to bear. Hell smells weird.

I'm Katherine Silva, "Kat" for short and I write grief and existential horror, often in dystopian or weird settings. And today's question is kinda rough mentally! I'm always struggling financially. Haven't had a working dryer since August. 😭

No art tonight (I am failing at this Drawtober hard, but more important to put rest and health first)

Been oddly tired today. Like, REALLY tired, no energy. Only had enough to do a rough draft, then I still have an 8 hour shift later so may or may not have energy for 15/16th art so could be 2 days
