Profile for the character Heden.
Here's the profile for Heden! He's meant to be a lovable slime ball with a secret heart of gold. Too many betrayals and risky battles has left him a little bit jaded and snarky, but I like to think he's just as desperate for a deep, sweet romance as Nua is. His tdick is huge so he likes short girls.

A profile of Nua, a kobold scholar.
Here's the profile for "Miss Kobold" aka Nua! She's a cis gal with some gender dysphoria problems and is way, way too uptight and repressed. Here's hoping an adventure in a sexy dungeon can loosen her up a bit, huh? (Honestly, she's been desperate for something sexy to happen to her for a while...)

An ad for the upcoming novella, "Miss Kobold & Her Bodyguard"
"Miss Kobold & Her Bodyguard" is an upcoming transhet erotica novella inspired by worlds like Dungeons and Dragons but with a sexy spin!
We're hoping to release Chapter 1 publicly sometime within the next few months and we really hope you'll join us for the full book too!
It's Y2K, the mall might be eating people, but Shaw is too busy being a gay transman obsessed with getting in his boss' pants. His boss who is totally a serial killer. Like, Shaw literally saw him kill on the monitors.
That isn't a deal-breaker, though.
This one's for the fucked-up shit enjoyers.
Happy Yaoi Day to all who celebrate. โ๐ฝ

An image announcing the delay of the Yaoi Bundle.
The Yaoi Bundle has officially been delayed until further notice.
With Itchio's current problems, I don't feel confident that everyone involved could actually get their cut of the earnings. If things change on Itchio, the bundle will be back and better than ever: if not, it will be reborn SFW.
Here's a starter pack for all the Yaoi Bundle Artists and Developers. These folks deserve so much of your love and support and could really use some boosts on their posts! Thanks everyone, please share this!

Promo image for the Monster Manor Book Fair. It's very Halloween-y, with ghost, bat, and pumpkin outlines floating in the background. There's a ramshackle, black and white house and two zombie hands sticking out of the ground holding a sign that says "read indie". The cover for PROFANE SACRAMENT is ominously floating beneath a full moon. There's white text that says "Pride Itchio Bundle, 118 comics, short stories, novellas, and novels for 25$. Stuff your ereaders this Jun 13th."
Promo image for the Monster Manor Book Fair. It's very Halloween-y, with ghost, bat, and pumpkin outlines floating in the background. There's also a ramshackle, black and white house. The cover for PROFANE SACRAMENT is ominously floating in the center of a trope map. The tropes are: The villain is right, lavender marriages gone awry, queer secret societies, the gothic ingenue is a trans guy, sexy corruption arc, ritual sex, cis!m/trans!m. The text on the bottom says "stuff your ereaders this june 13th."
The MONSTER MANOR BOOK FAIR is here!
100+ books of the queer variety? All of them in one convenient itchio bundle for only $25? Sale of the century.
Both PROFANE SACRAMENT and BOY NEXT DOOR are in the bundle. Quick math says that makes them less than 25c each! โญ

in red text: #HotWetQueerSummer, Monitored Activity. in white text: It's the best time to work. High-schoolers have gone to bed, mothers haunt their homes, and the upstanding and respectable have long turned in. All that's left are the people with a story to tellโfor the exception of Eddie Conners. Church-going, amicable, straight-laced father of two and husband to a former prom queen; Janice wonders why the hell he's working the graveyard among the unemployable queers and ex-convicts. She has her suspicions but likes to think that Shaw, the young transexual man she and her wife have begrudgingly taken under their wing, is much smarter than that. Horror - 25,000 wc. @astramachina The background is a closeup image of cassette tapes.
in red text: #HotWetQueerSummer, Monitored Activity. in white text: A horror novella about horrible people trapped in a horrible system. And a fucked up mall that may or may not be a cosmic entity wrapped in 2000s nostalgia. Featuring: An elder trans lesbian in constant ownership of all nearby brain cells. A serial killer who is totally absolutely 100% straight. A young trans guy who is desperate to get into said serial killerโs pants. Try it if you like: The Backrooms, The Ring (2002), Bag of Bones by Stephen King, Pulse (2006), V/H/S, The Walten Files, analog/digital horror, & creepypastas. @astramachina On the left side is the current cover of Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller. The background image is an angled photo of a 90s Macintosh desktop.

Graphic of a lined piece of paper decorated with a trans flag, a rainbow sticker, and that totally radical S design that is probably a cognito hazard. In gray, handwritten text: but is it ~gay~, followed by the drawing of a smiley face. In red, different handwritten text: yeah? duh, followed by a drawing of squinty eyes.
Lined composition paper is overlayed over the image of a barely visible cassette tape. The title says "This is an indie author promo in case it wasn't obvious" in red text. There are three columns, each promoting a book. The first is BRUISED PAIR, and the cover features a white haired vampire sexily about to bite a brunet's neck. The text below it says: gothic homos, pathetic vampire/mad scientist, -unethical experimentation or bad BDSM etiquette? The second is BOY NEXT DOOR, and the cover features the back corner of a black classic car. The text below reads: 80s summer homos, college trans guy/DILF, -probably should be doing that out in public, sir. especially not in mormon country. The third one is PROFANE SACRAMENT, and the cover is red with a fancy black Victoria-style border. The text below it reads: MORE gothic homos, transmasc ingenue/evil baronet, -how far can you take a bit in Victorian England? very far, apparently. The url for the shop is in faint text below: synthandsyntax.itchio.io
Lined composition paper is overlayed over the image of a barely visible cassette tape. The title says "This is an indie author promo in case it wasn't obvious, PT 2." in red text, and "coming soon" below it in blue text. There are two columns, each promoting a book. The first book is GLOW, its cover a dark image of a wave crashing on the shore. The text below it says: lovecraftian homos, -weird shoreside locals, -that bear is a trans guy, baby, -the real horror is online dating. The second book is MONITORED ACTIVITY, its cover a glitch image of various CRT monitors. The text below it says: retro horror homos, -diversity win: the serial killer is gay and his victim gets spared on a technicality. the victim is conflicted over it. like, sure, all previous victims have been women but it's kinda silly for the serial (the rest of the text is cut off). The url for the shop is in faint text below: synthandsyntax.itchio.io
On composition paper, in gray handwritten text: Queer & trans horror and erotica by a queer & trans horror author (that last usage of horror is stuck through in a shitty attempt to be comedic). Below it, in red text, is the itchio shop link: synthandsyntax.itchio.io. On the very bottom, in very faint gray text, the itchio link is repeated again, alongside a patreon link: patreon.com/astramachina. The page is decorated with a trans flag, a rainbow sticker, and a small Puerto Rican flag.
It's โจPride Monthโจ (+ my birthday month) so you know what that means: time to share my work on main. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Queer horror? Queer erotica? Queer horror erotica? I gotchu, fam. Victorian Gothic, summer in the 1980s, weird locations in the 2000s, etc? Oh yeah.
