Book cover for This Exquisite Topology. A large, multicolored eye dominates the background, with the iris rendered in swirling hues of red, blue, purple, and black. Superimposed over the eye is a metallic torus shape resembling a donut or ring, pierced vertically by a pointed structure extending downward. Smaller spherical shapes orbit the central form. The overall aesthetic is surreal and cosmic. Text at the top reads "THIS EXQUISITE TOPOLOGY" in bold white uppercase letters. Bottom right corner text in green states: “EDITED BY NADIA SIMONE BOUWERTS AND SIMON POTHEREZ.”
This Exquisite Topology came out today from @angrygablepress.bsky.social.
I'm in it with my piece, "Deus In/Ex Machina"!

Cut about 10k words so far, wrote a new beginning and tightened up some scenes. Planning to cut another 5k and rewrite a couple of scenes by the end of the weekend. #amrevising #rewriting #writingsff

First writing I've done in a month.

Finished a vague first chapter of this anthro/kinda furry story. Can I send it to anyone for a second opinion? Just as a proof of concept
#anthro #furry #furryfandom #furrycommunity #writing #amwriting #writingSFF
Making a kinda post apocalyptic fantasy setting where all the people are descended from animal-human hybrids made by a now extinct mankind.
Do I stick to just mammals?
or have lizards, birds and whatnot?
