Shiny gold floor and shiny silver wall. On the bottom left is a fanned deck of silver playing cards. On the bottom right is a set of charms in the shape of ace, spade, heart, and Diamond and a silver ring with an etched ace of hearts. Propped up against the wall is a copy of The Elysium Heist. Leaning against the book is a dice stick. Behind them stretched across the wall is a Diamond tiara.
Happy release day to my debut THE ELYSIUM HEIST!

It’s a digital first release so your best price is the ebook (3.99) but there’s POD too! Links in bio.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I literally wrote down a citation before I realized what I was doing. It was embarrassing. 💀

Also that first novel chapter I finished? Has one MCR reference that I will fight to death to ensure it makes it to the final draft. More references are being planned.

“Famous Last Words” is evergreen. Right now the runner ups are “Thank You for the Venom” and “It’s Not a Fashion Statement.” (A few months ago it was “Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back.”)
Great choices!! I think Mama was one of my favorites when the album was first out.

But I finished the first chapter (!!!) of the novel, watched almost the entirety of the 50 Shades trilogy (don’t ask, it was supposed to put me to sleep), made Indomie & ate it at 3am, gave up trying to sleep & decided to just revise the chapter. It’s now in beta read. 👀

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones
Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign
But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I just want to throw in my two cents here as someone who works at a call center.
I can’t tell you how many times someone has complained to me about policy- i tell my supervisor and they ignore the complaint. I tell people to email because its real concrete proof that a customer is mad-
not only are these new guidelines incredibly broad, but there's no wiggle room to appeal. itch can and will steal creators' money with no accessible form of recourse.

You can't write a story about childhood sexual trauma, even if it's by a survivor.
You can't write a story about survival sex work or being trafficked, even if it's by a survivor.
Fuck this so much.
Maybe we could find out.

We thought we were out of news for today, but... WE JUST HIT OUR THIRD PATREON GOAL, which means WE ARE OFFICIALLY PAYING 8 CENTS/WORD AND $50/POEM WHEN WE OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS IN JANUARY!
Thank you all so, so much for helping us support queer authors and artists. We could not do this without you.
into a different form, instead of having to shave off extant meat and hack down the skeleton to rebuild everything. If that makes sense?
Anyway. This is another “different process” thingy that’s working for me!! I remain very excited.
