Illustrated cover for Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. It features a young man with white hair, bright eyes, and pink wings leaping across the page in profile. He is wearing a dark tank top, light short-shorts, and bright red high tops with white socks. He has a coy smile on his lips and is staring at the camera. There is a gold, spiky halo behind him. In the background are smears of pink against a deep, dark blue and eyeballs throughout staring at him.

A description graphic detailing the plot of Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. It reads: "Deadbeat Trent Cain can't catch a break. Life's been one disaster after another, rent's always due, and he's always late. Even his band doesn't want anything to do with him anymore and playing the guitar was the one joy he had left in life. When he takes a shortcut home through the park at 3AM, he walks right into another disaster: five angels waiting to greet him. Unfortunately, despite their proclamations of be not afraid, they mean him harm. His only hope is another angel wielding a lead pipe, but there’s something familiar about this one..."

Minno is on the right, also holding a candle. They have pale skin, blonde hair with braided sideburns, and round framed glasses. They are wearing a white shirt with part of their kilt (in a brown and blue tartan) draped over one shoulder. Aila is behind the other three characters with her wings wrapped around them.

#hotwetpitstop time!!

I havent been writing as much as I would hope for life got in the way ofc, but I am glad to be writing regardless. This story already gave me multiple breakdowns (sorry yall) and I am not even halfway. But we move, unlike the world in there.

"Earth is Earth and Lune is Lune." Angler sighed, forearm across her eyes. The room fell into the quiet hum of the AC and the steady melody of drums and strings, and Melody felt a shiver run through her beneath her frigid clothes. She thought back to the bulky beast shape that Rowen would shift into. The weight of them, the heat of their breath... "What kind of creature are you, then?" She allowed a grin to split her tusks as she looked over to the retreated elf. Slowly, Angler lifted her forearm, one vibrant eye peering out at Melody. Her eye rolled away, but her gap toothed grin spread from ear to pointed ear. "Y'wanna take a shower? I hate making a mess with it." Without waiting for an answer, Angler hopped up from the couch and stripped off her wet shirt, revealing absolutely nothing underneath. Her tits were cute and perky, her nipples a strong blue, which surprised Melody, as Rowen's had been more of a purple tone.

A meme board for the book, Lifting Waits. Do you want: Middle-aged protagonists, Poly sapphism, Billionaires went extinct, All my homies are gay D&D OCs, Romantasy meets martial arts movie, Illustrated novella, Monster dongs and slimy transformations, Defeating money with the power of friendship?

Remarkable that we've hit the halfway mark of the jam! Draft 1.5 of Lifting Waits is almost done (my alpha readers are seeing this, hi I'm overdue). The HEA eludes me because denouement is hard to write!!
Next steps: illustrations, cover, and learning the formatting software!

Strings of pearls came cascading onto her tongue, bathing the muscle with sweet salt. She drank them all down, sucking deep, until one of the fruits balanced daintily on her fingertips was no more. Caught in her ecstatic high, it took Dottie a moment to register what she had been alleviated of. When the warm haze clouding her senses dissipated, a great shock colored her expression. Before Dottie could vocalize her bafflement, the god tenderly squeezed the length balanced on her tongue with her lips and intoned— “Now the other.”

It's #hotwetpitstop time for the #hotwetqueersummer jam!!! Because I've been consumed by other projects, I haven't made much progress with my short story HER PEARLS. But I am slowly chipping away at it. Recent victory was finding a poetic way to say "she nutted so hard, she got an orchiectomy" 🦪💦✨

A moodboard of images that represent my wip, Twice Drowned, for the #HotWetQueerSummerJam. The first image is a crop of a painting of a blonde woman with a piercing gaze with flowers and leaves in her hair (Ophelia by Ernest Hebert). The second image is a neon sign of a cowboy riding a horse. The third image is a crop of a blonde woman in sunglasses and a hat, evoking the vintage femme fatale. The fourth image is a crop of a male presenting hairy chest with a blue shirt open, exposing a gold cross necklace. The fifth image is a crop of a woman in a flowing silk gown stepping out of the sea. The sixth image is of a vintage motel sign in the middle of the desert. The seventh image is of a mermaid rescuing a man, an illustration from Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid. The eighth image is of a pair of cacti in the desert landscape of Arizona. The ninth image is of a woman, dressed in a long white dress with her hair down, and a man, dressed in black, staring out at a desolare landscape or seascape (Two human beings. The lonely ones by Edvard Munch). The background features a lone figure in blue perched upon a rock formation, staring out to the sea (a crop of Odysseus and Calypson by Arnold Bocklin).

Super late but here's my #HotWetPitch! Just a little moodboard to show off the general vibes of the story as well as a title reveal; Twice Drowned. Western meets Fairytale, Historical meets Fantasy, CowboyxMermaid, a 1950s set adventure with a pinch of horror/romance #wip #r #h #HotWetQueerSummer

A poster-like graphic with Dhiyanah's painting of sunlight streaming through palm leaves and text overlaid on it, which reads: # Hot Wet Queer Summer Meet my work in progress Halaat the water dragon meets djinn-human Lama when they find themselves in a tropical realm at the edge of Creation. Though full of uncertainties, the pair learn to embrace their new lives and all they've lived through, opening up to new possibilities together.
