New year, new intro post!
Hi, I'm Seb! I'm a 27yo disabled and autistic trans guy from North Wales, living in England with my fiancé and our fur babies~
I'm currently editing my queer fantasy horror which explores grief and trauma, and plotting a horror with a very queer vampire MC 👀

Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.
OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to MAGA Inc in 2025.
There's a push to boycott ChatGPT, that tool is now added to StopICEToday.com

Florian's mother is a sweet angel and I won't have anything negative said about her 😤 She doesn't deserve half of the pain I'm putting her through 😬

Writing the scene I was so excited for now 👀 It's not even that spicy, but for my poor confused priest, it will only fuel his sinful desires 😈

It's Joel's birthday today! An awesome gift would be more people checking out his books!
These are my books.
So far.
What if Maleficent was Aurora's mother and what if she wasn't really evil?

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.
Don't submit to this one, folks.

I think today is my first time participating in WipSnips (not tagging so I don't clog up the feed and distract from all the incredible extracts!) and it feels so strange for my writing to be perceived like this! It's a vulnerable but exciting feeling!

Elias is far too trusting and would end up falling for it.
Florian on the other hand would find any way to turn the conversation dirty and make the scammer hang up out of pure embarrassment.

Silly hypothetical!
How would your character handle a scam call?
Trustingly give up their credit card number? Just hang up? Keep them talking and waste their time? Lure them into an elaborate trap for daring?

Florian doesn't think he'll be truly happy until he's free from his father's control, but discovers something else that thrills him in the meantime 👀
Elias considers happiness to be the feeling of comfort he gets while praying, but when that fades he finds something new and dangerous to cling to 👀

A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" - Fall Out Boy
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)
