Hello to all new follows!🖖

Re-introduction time—
I'm Jeannie, I write nearly-always-queer stories of fantasy, SciFi, and horror, & my darlings are often the most tender, open-hearted saps that ever fought eldrich beings and bled forbidden magics.

Accordingly: poly horromantasy coming late 2025 🌈🚀💫

I really feel like millennials especially resent the copyright theft part of these AI data centers because of this.

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

Sleeping Beauty meets South African folklore when a nomad with a hunter’s spirit must face a castle covered in enchanted thorns and the villainess who made it her domain to reclaim her ancestral home or forever wander until death in a desolate land.

After repeated humiliations on Olympus, Hephaestus shuts out the world, but when Hyacinthus or Cin, a Black Spartan prince, seeks to hide from the lecherous gods that nearly killed him, Hephaestus will open his heart and home, and will do anything to keep Cin safe. #DVPit #A #LGBT #mythretelling

Earth was getting further away and I had no food. Would I starve to death? I was so weak.
I was alone out here, the only person within thousands of miles of emptiness.
At least I had enough air.
Maybe if I closed my eyes it would all be over when I woke up.
/If/ I woke up. #DVpit #NA #A #R #SF #LGBT

Marl just wants to be reunited with her husband after his tragic death. But, an ancient crocodilian god won't let her die until she sacrifices blood and tears to it--preferably from the people who live in her small Maine town in SORROW EATER.
