"Hey, Viv, want to take a crack at Spider-Man?"
God no, but I'd love to do a Hallow's Eve ongoing
Related: the "What obscure IP would you like to work with?" but is fun because that's the *only* type of IP I'd want to write
I love Spider-Man, but trying to write ASM these days sounds like a nightmare
Everyone wants to be Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons without understanding the key factors that made their art work (being mad at the government and the suits not caring about what they were doing)
It's impressive how the problem with superheroes in two media now is that the suits won't stop messing with the artists
Can y'all just make a fun, goofy film about superheroes?
"Where do you know Tim Curry from?"
Being the main villain in at least a half-dozen cartoons in the early to mid '90s
I've mentioned it before, but this show is where Amelia Temple got her name
I have a rough idea for remaking American Gothic, a one-season horror seres from 1995 starring a young Sarah Paulson
If I could, I'd cast her as a gender-swapped Lucas Buck
Fuck it. For Lesbian Visibility Week, I'm posting a couple of chapters a day of my short story The Hag Takes A Girl's Heart on Sunset! (It's a condensed version of The Warlock and the Witch)
Lesbian roadtrip with a witch that's kidnapped you! #yuri #lesbian #femslash #toxicyuri
This remains the coolest thing ๐๐ค
Some neat metrics:
Across the board, physical book sales are about 2/3 those of ebooks
A little under 50% of Books2Read click-thrus for Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1 lead to a sale, which is pretty good!
Meanwhile, click-thrus for Against Fearful Lies don't reflect its sales at all, which is weird!
Spider people, y'all. They buy books!
Along Torturous Paths and Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1 both came out last year. In the last quarter, SOR1's sales almost caught up to AT3 in just two months. Now, it's blown past AT3 despite only being out half as long
Really pleased with the response to my new serial!
Received my royalty statement for '26 Q1!
Thus far: doin' okay for a highly minor indie chick!
Beneath Strange Lights continues to be my overall best seller. However! In the last quarter, Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1 outsold the whole Amelia Temple Series combined
Gimli saying "I never thought I'd fight side by side with a Pope" Pope Leo answers "you degenerate polyamorous gender ideologue will burn in hell" Gimli answering "what the fuck!?"
Hey guys check this out
Power corrupts, but Abra's stamp of approval is freaking awesome
What's the single best sound effect in comics?
Lesbian Visibility Week? ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐ฉ
PERCEIVE MY LESBIANS
I write lesbian disasters, dykey private eyes, lesbian eldritch horrors, problematic evil dykes who will make you say "But she's hot tho" and at least one middle aged woman who realizes she just wants to be a sapphic cyborg domme
It's Lesbian Visibility Week ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐ฉ
So...
Go ahead: perceive me, textually!
(I'm happy to say, there are dykes as far as the eye can see in every book I've written: horror dykes; con artist dykes; Dykes To Watch Out For, Lest They Turn Into Werefoxes...
You can't go wrong)

Ohmigosh I love this
Another writer shared this m answer from legendary Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder & Iโm sharing it as well. I read this interview when I was on Rick & Morty & every single thing Iโve written since then (comics, movies, TV, whatever) like this. Frankly its the only way to write imo

There's a lot to unpack here
Good for lamprey
Oh your G-d, I hate these things so much
Okay, so this one is obviously late, but it's fairly long and transcription is taking a minute
I promise it will be available soon!
