🖤 an fmc that could rot you from the inside
🖤 warring gods whose sharpest weapons are their own people
🖤 vengeful villain arcs

Publishing is a broken system, and most individuals can't fix a whole-ass system, but a thread of ways you can support marginalized authors.

haven't done these in a while 🖤🖤 #saturdark

Happy #Saturdark! When I saw the prompt was Blood I was like Ooo, I can do that! Here’s a little snippet from Project Vampire.

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa. The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them. These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

IT'S #CHOICESANTHOLOGY RELEASE DAY!!! To celebrate, I'm hosting an AMA here ALL DAY

Ask your questions about the anthology itself, reproductive rights, and writing/editing generally & I'll pop in every 30 minutes to share answers

🖤🫂 I know how those thoughts like to creep back in during times of hardship. 11 years is definitely something to be proud of!

It’s been a stressful week and my nails are chewed to hell, but look at these tiny flowers. 🥹
