figuring out how to do print copies is turning out to be the most frustrating part of my writing & publishing journey
09.08.2025 13:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0A collage in cool tones. Two petri dishes overlap to create a triptych of the Emmissary, her flesh body on the left, her bones in the center, and a distortion of her skeleton on the right as her body mingles with the Beyond. It's broken up with light, leaving her as a simple line drawing. Emerging from the murky darkness on the right is Farron, smiling as the their hand also distorts, positioned over their sharp cheekbones. They peer between two fingers, and are superimposed over a window meant to represent the research hall the story takes place. Beneath the window there is text reading "Watch where you tread, little rat. Some traps are best left alone."
I love collage. I love making moodboards. Monster Manor is celebrating banned books this week, so here's my webnovel, Beyond Bringers. I wanted to use photographs + art I'd made. I like the results.

Reviving this old creation for #MonManMoodMon: I daresay a dubcon heavy erotic horror story about getting kidnapped and made a pet of the Big Bad would get me banned eh? And there's gonna be ghosts, too!
28.07.2025 21:10 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 6 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0A collage of images in three colour stories: red, blue-green, and black-and-grey. In the center is the cover of MELT (refrain), a greyscale photo of a marble statue's fingers gripping a carved thigh, with strong chiaroscuro and overlaid with lurid red light. The images paint a picture of a dark urban fantasy focused on people and liminal spaces. Dialogue on the first image reads, "Listen, when you're born this way, you tend not to think much of it." Dialogue on the last image reads, "All I mean is it seems you have the worse end of the stick."
this #MonManMoodMon theme is BANNED, for no reason in particular.
my highlight is (shocker) MELT, a WIP that never made it to itch. we got trans vampires, power imbalances, autonomy issues, and sex that's not safe or sane or always consensual.
status updates go on patreon, for now. #meltWIP
The horrors persisted enough I need a break.
But I also have to come up with 200 CAD to pay my student bills. I will try to keep making premade covers if anyone is interested and try to work on comms. I'm very sorry. Here's my ko-fi if you can help.

#MonManMoodMon
THE HEART YET BLEEDS isn't finished yet, but given that it's queer, sexy, bloody, and full of questionable moral actions, there's a good chance Itch might not like it ๐ฉธ๐ฅ
Oh, well! I'm still writing it!
#MonManMoodMon
Well, this is just a WIP but it's already banned because it has sex with a minotaur... the not so consented type at first... And it's gay too. Khm. ๐
Happy #MonManMoodMon! I just had to put up Springtime Sweetness, which got delisted from Itch--probably because Vailintin's boyfriend is a unicorn centaur with a big...heart.

"Iโm all grown up, Zed. You let me grow up, so now you have to live with what I am."

Hello! I am writing to you concerning the recent policy changes regarding transactions that involve (completely legal) sexually explicit material. As someone selling artistic work through various platforms, I rely on customers being able to freely choose how to pay for the work I offer. Part of that is payment processors being both transparent with their guidelines AND as hands-off as possible when it comes to what people actually pay for. I believe that, as long as everything in the process is legal for all parties involved, a payment processor should not arbitrarily restrict what kind of goods and services can be purchased by their customers. This both causes confusion and hampers business operations in a variety of industries around the world. In the interest of allowing businesses who fully adhere to the law to operate smoothly, and to ensure a good customer experience, I urge you to reverse these policy changes, and in the future refrain from trying to restrict perfectly legal industries and businesses in this manner. Mastercard has a long-standing reputation for reliable service; being this disruptive in the face of a tiny minority with an entirely unreasonable bone to pick simply cannot be in the company's best interest. Regards, [Name]
Here's a contact form for Mastercard: b2b.mastercard.com/contact-us/ (h/t to @kaizeal.aquakatpublishing.com).
Feel free to use what I wrote (just copy the alt text). I know it can be a struggle to write this kind of message, so I hope this makes it easier for folks to voice their concerns.

An inforgraphic featuring an illustrated cover title "The Grand Duke's Masseur" in the center. It features a large, four-armed, horned dog-man with curly pink fur wearing a dress shirt half-off gently holding a smaller white human man with straight black hair wearing loose, comfortable clothing. They are staring at each other with soft intensity. Text around the edges reads, in counter-clockwise: Marriage of convenience; autistic LI & MC; trans man MC; sex-positive, non-monogamous, queernormative society; aspec LI & MC; Regency inspired; and polyamorous endgame.

TROPE MAP: autistic & bisexual representation, poc mlm couple, underground monster sex club, organized crime subplot, monstrosity as disability, and some very nasty vampire anatomy.
PITCH: Fledgeling monster hunter Ahmad just wants to graduate college as fast as possible so he can hunt monsters full-time. But when Ahmad is framed for a crime he didnโt commit, the prospect of getting his hunting license starts looking bleak โ and even worse, heโs pretty sure heโs being stalked by a demonic presence thatโs hell-bent on taking his life. Enter Quentin, Ahmadโs bratty vampire defense lawyer with a chip on his shoulder and a closet full of secrets. If they want to make it through the night (and Ahmadโs court date) alive, the unlikely pair are forced to work togetherโฆeven when it means confronting Quentinโs mafia past and Ahmadโs monstrous future. As tensions rise and old enemies come back to bite, things take a turn for the spicy. Allโs fair in love and law.
