The satisfaction of making a thing, even if it's janky, comes from actually making the thing. It's especially potent when you overcome some kind of limitation or barrier in order to make the thing. That shit is catnip to a certain kind of person. 3/11

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

Dera likes two things: solving technical puzzles, and being left alone. When a ship with mysterious errors comes to them for repairs, they end up with a bigger puzzle than they ever imagined solving—one that forces them into the center of a galaxy-spanning conflict. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

What started as an investigation into one mysterious artifact lost in space turns into a hunt for a set of keys unlocking galaxy-changing technology. As the greedy Onyx Group joins the hunt, Dera discovers the terrifying reason the tech was hidden away to begin with. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

The fungal implants Dera and Karsten Station’s other technicians have give them unmatched repair skills, but also make them outcasts. When Dera gets caught in a conflict that threatens the station, they have to decide if a home that rejects them is one worth saving. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

Technician Dera is sick of being stared at for the implants that help them do their job. When they meet a ship captain who treats them with kindness instead, they jump at the chance to travel with her, only to discover too late her motives were not what they seemed. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

Karsten Station has stayed independent of the ever-expanding Onyx Group for years, growing fungal cores that power FTL ships. But when Karsten technician Dera finds an artifact that both groups claim, their home gets caught in a power struggle that could destroy it. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

What starts out as a simple investigation into one lost ship spirals into more than Dera bargained for: a scavenger hunt for artifacts holding ancient tech, a rescue from an all-consuming corporation, and a conflict that endangers the station that is Dera’s home. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
