I'm going on a much-needed social media/marketing break until 2026 because I am, DRAINED (and there's no vampire in sight, which seems rude of the universe). I'll be active on Discord (my comfort platform). If you'd like to stay connected, hit me up on there.

Not the editor (it's me, hi) having biiiig emotions about creation and channeling that into monster smut:
In a daydream-y haze thinking about Del Toro's Frankenstein while listening to Ethel Cain's "Inbred" on repeat. This combination works so fucking well, and 1000% is reminding me of a few stories of mine that I could stitch together and a new (fictional) life, as it were.
Guess what I just finished watching and am emotionally wrecked and wonderfully, wickedly inspired by?

Time to write some flith that wrecks readers emotionally, I guess.
I want to be able to create something that speaks to the ghosts in my mind, and soothes the monster that is my heart.

Okay, no more marketing for me on this account (probably and hopefully because dear goddd, I'm exhausted even just from today). If you see me doing some promo on the lit mag's account, no you didn't (yes you did, I'm just broken by capitalism).

Are you interested in the idea of being apart of a lit mag run by a queer author with a background of several anthologies who would very much like to have fun with other creatives putting out a cool transgressive collection of works?

Something I've been wanting to put together for ages but have been putting it off due to how serious and impossible it previously felt:
Trying not to go wild with my extra time now that I'm no longer marketing.
Trying not to put together a casual lit/art magazine/zine about finding belonging in the darkness with eroguro monster filth at the forefront.
Trying not to casually see if there's anyone interested in participating.

Not being able to make any forward momentum with the next steps of my queer dark audio drama, Minthe, has been driving me crazy. I really just wish I had disposable income right now that I could use to pay the voice actors with, but alas.

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.
If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets
With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

You don’t become cooler with age, but you do care progressively less about being cool which is the only true way of being cool.

10/10 am a MASSIVE fan of this project. I've connected with so many people professionally, creatively, and platonically and done some amazing projects with those mutuals/friends, AND I've learn a hell of a lot too. I will never not recommend Romancing the Gothic.
Seen as it looks like I won't have a main job for a while (and seen as I haven't been paid anything since September) if you'd like to support the work that I do through Romancing the Gothic, you can!
You can also buy courses (in case you didn't know!)

I had to nuke both my Patreon and Ko-Fi patron accounts (I'm scrambling to help 4 family members in need, so I've had to pull back support from all kinds of things I care about until they're all more settled) but Romancing the Gothic is a really wonderful resource, so check out what is on offer!
