Worried your story might be taking a little long to get onto the page? Bram Stoker took over seven years to research and write his now-famous tale about the vampire Dracula. Keep at it, but your tale isn’t any lesser for taking the time it needs.

"The great hunt". Illustration piece I did for Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It represents an haunt scene, the hunter is mounting a big white tiger with piercing white eyes -sign that she's blind- which is roaring as she's sprinting through the action. The hunter has heavy clothing on, inspired by the Mongolian and Slavic clothing. He has long black hair moved by the wind, and he's holding a sword in his hand, ready to defend his wood. The environment is a snowy wood, old trees and branches all around the scene, as the white snow covers them. The sun is setting, and the overall atmosphere looks pinkish, lightened by the lights of the time of the day. Pink, yellow and blue shading on the sky, as the clouds move, forming interesting shapes.
Illustration of a young elf with short brown hair and pointed ears kneeling in a misty forest, reaching desperately toward an ornate gold crown with blue gemstones that lies in a shallow stream just out of reach.
Crown King sitting on his throne of screaming skulls. He's surrounded by tangled trees in a horror and dark fantasy themed environment
Illustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark. The scene is showing a young woman wearing a blue coat lost in an heavy atmospheric forest in which the trees tangles with each other and the roots are everywhere on the ground. The woman is sitting - knees down - on the grass, the look on her face seems scared and hurt while she tries to extract a glow arrow from her chest, dripping blood as she's looking at the viewer, terrified. Next to her, on the grass, there's a bloody knife almost hidden.

Trans Day of Visibility.
I’m trans. I’m a writer.
I write queer fantasy about a trans woman escaping a theocracy while reality fractures around her.
We deserve stories where we survive.

My autoimmune disease is progressive and terminal; it will make me blind, paralyze me completely, end my life. I have to constantly battle back against it, and I've been doing the bare minimum for years because of cost. I need more, and I need help.
Every single cent helps.

It's Trans Day of Visibility, but a shout out to the invisible trans people - the ones who haven't realised, the ones who haven't shared it, and, sadly, the ones for whom it's just too dangerous to be yourself in public.
I might not see you, but I know you're out there.

Argentum in Aqua (Finn McLellan) Blood on the Snow, Silver in the Ashes, Fire in the Sky • Queer Gothic gaslamp fantasy • Werewolves, vampires, magicians, and a whole lot of blood, swearing, and tea • Bisexual vampire gentleman scholar • Disabled transmasc assassin/thief • Lesbian werewolf bodyguard/lady’s maid • Deeply out-of-his-depth anxiety-ridden autistic vampire student (who’s ace, he just doesn’t know it yet) • Culturally (and personally) Significant Knives • Fog-shrouded streets, rooftop chases, fights in alleyways, mysterious boxes… Ongoing web serial: read online at https://saranadosfiction.com/ or in ebook form at https://finn-mclellan.itch.io/
Argentum in Aqua Finn McLellan All student magician Jonathan Fest wants is to keep his head down and finish out his first year of university without failing his exams too badly. Unfortunately for him, fate and the two secret societies warring in the shadows of the city have other plans. Enter stage left Archer, a gentleman scholar with a past a good deal more chequered than his present would suggest; Sabbat, a thief and assassin whose loyalty to the few people he counts as friends is as unshakeable as his temper is fiery; and Viola, lady’s maid, bodyguard, and surrogate big sister to the only daughter of the most famous family of magicians in Sacaan. Thrown together by a series of unexplained events, the four magicians soon find themselves facing down a cunning adversary and an escalation in the shadow war which could spell disaster not just for them, but for the city as a whole. Penny dreadfuls, it turns out, are a lot less fun when you’re in one. Wordcount? Fucked if I know - a lot and then some (over 500,000 words and counting for the serial as a whole, last I checked). Genre? Queer Gothic gaslamp fantasy. Enemies to lovers? Friends to lovers? Not actually a romance per se, but the latter in the case of a certain couple of POV characters. Also the slowest of slow burns. No, seriously, slower than that. Audience? Well, we've got a POV character who uses the word 'fuck' and its derivatives as a warning a noun's coming (hi Sabbat), so...
Thank you for doing this!

Blurb Marketing Post. The book cover is on the left, dithered with a bayer-matrix pattern except for the title. it is a bold red across the entire cover, with different darker reds and pure black for the rest. Below a pentacle oversized to the right side of the cover, the words “Demon Hood” being the subtitle ontop, with the author “Amy Hendricks” on the other side. Both blocks of text are rotated 90 degrees. In a world where you can be whatever you wish, one person becomes their true self... A Demon In the fictional country town of Comfort, A mid-twenties grocery store worker is living life on autopilot. One night in a fast-food joint, they bump into a group of eccentric demons. Tempted by major change in their life, they discover the cost of being yourself. This is a modern urban fantasy tale about self-discovery, feelings, and trust. A lil' bit serious. A lil' bit silly. Full of feeling. Come join the fold. DemonicResonanceTherapy.com

A digital painting of a floating knight wearing a crusader helmet and chain mail above bare, dead feet, carrying a rusty sword in their hands, in a bog. The sun rises behind them, silhouetting the other rusty swords sticking out of the water.
A digital painting of a middle aged woman with a wavy bob wearing plate armor and a bright red cloak brandishing a spear atop a ceratosaurus: a blue feathered dinosaur with a long tail and two horns atop its beak, spit flying around as it screeches at the sky from the top of a waterfall. They are lit by a sunrise, birds flying around tall mountain peaks in purple and orange hues.
A digital painting of a gigantic rock figure covered in fir trees sitting on the edge of a cliff, seemingly taking a break. In the foreground a human with pale skin is sitting on a bench, taking a sip from their water bottle and checking the map, mirroring the pose of the rock figure. They are backdropped by a blue sky with soft clouds.
A digital painting of a Black adventurer with their wavy hair in a high ponytail, wearing a purple cape, green waistcoat, and beige pants standing in front of a circular golden entrance holding up a lantern. A curious fox slaloms around their legs, while a small goblin in a purple jacket, a tall pink hat, and a belt full with letters stands in amazement, hands before their mouth and eyes wide. They have discovered a vault in which the candles on the candelabras are already lit, and is chock full of books, book cases, and curious items such as an owl skull with gems for eyes (one has fallen out) and an armillary sphere atop a pile of books in the foreground. Papers are scattered across the floor, and there's a mysterious air around the place.

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …
The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

All dancing is hard for me. I’m not exactly a coordinated person. But yes it was a workout.
(The lack of mind altering substances didn’t help either. Evangelicalism is wild)
I just finished “Never Let Me Go” a few days ago and I’m still angry for those characters.
I write dystopian and I go for bittersweet endings but yeah, it’s dark. Here’s an excerpt from a short I’m working on. (The end highlights it better but I didn’t want to spoil it) #SFFChat
