The eponymous MC of my erotic "Veronica's Life" series has severe kyphosis (a spinal deformity).

It's her journey of discovery as she learns her disability does not define her (as she was always taught) and comes into her power.

Quote with your art with horns!

This was just a quick bit of render fun a couple of years back (oh my, nearly 4 years back).

(I did not create the assets - I did put them together in this unique way.)

As what I'm writing qualifies under the "superhero" genre (as well as a multitude of others) this could be [spoilers].

On the other hand, she doesn't get to choose.

If asked I suspect Geeta would say something like "I don't need superpowers!"

Sadly I can't because I'm on the wrong computer.

Instead here's a picture that illustrates part of the first scene.

Just to be clear: this is *not* AI, it's a 3D render using Daz3D - which I'm fairly competent at using 😎

Punk rock. Mostly the originals plus post-punk bands.

She met her current bf at a gig, her parents would not approve. Sometimes he can be a real dick.

Ditto, Lady Grey is f-ing annoying, all she wants to do is sit on me. ALL. THE. TIME.

Bit late but I was having issues with the lighting.

Looks like Velma Dinkley's in trouble, where are the rest of the Scoobies?

#QueerPrompts Nov 1: Intro

I'm Steve and I write SF/F/Steampunk.

Today I am starting work (for the second time) on CAT PEOPLE which is contemporary genetic-manipulation hard SF.

It's a prequel to my book MONSTERS.

(Images are *not* adult/sexual, BlueSky is stupid.)

#SFFChat Q4

There are grotesque mutant creatures in my near-future SF book MONSTERS but the question is always: who are the real monsters?

CW: Mental abuse.

#LesFicFri "AFRAID"

My characters aren't usually scared-afraid, more apologetic-afraid.

OK folks, I've got to break three more plotlines for my next book, CAT PEOPLE, before I can start writing it, and I want to be begin next Saturday.

All good vibes welcome.

And here's a story-relevant cat-tax image (3D render, no AI).

Hm, none of my characters make art, although Miralees is an acrobat (so we have a picture of her).

And the second image is from a story I have yet to write. It might end up being a comic.
