Lots chatter in these social media streets bout Children of Blood and Bone. ALL BLACK EVERYTHING flick got ALL BLACK DRAMA. But this blog ain't bout none of that. Instead, I tackle another related controversy about the joys, rewards, perils, and pitfalls of writing African-inspired fantasy.

A lot of this discourse could be avoided by internalizing the maxim "people like different things for different reasons."

E.M. Anderson | author & schism enthusiast too hot for Bluesky @elizmanderson.com · 13/07/2026

ICYMI I have a queer cozy horror releasing in 9 days in which a 43yo autistic guy has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest & his sister goes into the wood after him with the most annoying woman she's ever met bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood against a blue background surrounded by text reading: secret lesbians; plant magic; sentient forest trying to oops! murder people; there's only one bed; intensely homoerotic shaving scene; the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories; knife lesbians; wound tending; long COVID rep; love interest turning slowly into a beast; dual POV brother and sister; Beauty & the Beast inspired but not a retelling; forced proximity times two; and hopeless romantic who's clueless about his own sexuality. The Lord of the Wood's cover is blue, paler in the center, darker at the edges, with a central image of a stag of foliage and flowers growing from a tree whose upper branches drip black ooze and the tagline, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving."

It's my birthday today! 🎉 I've been enjoying black/gold art lately. A little share today of some of them would be cool. c:

A black and gold illustration of a girl with golden wings enveloped by a dark wolf/raven-like creature. She looks up toward the sky warmly as the creature bares his teeth, her hands rest tenderly in his claws. Ravens swarm about them with a singular white raven flying up above them and golden flames below them. The background is a semi-circle border of golden roses, with an inner border of moons and stars. A moon enveloping a sun is behind them. The border text reads," It's written in the stars. Everything must come to an end."

The characters are my own, Cupiovera and Dove.

A black and gold colored illustration of two women. One is dressed in white with dark scales and gold horns, while the other has alternating black and white scales and horns. The second woman has her claws under the other woman's chin, tilting her face in an incipient kiss. The background has moons, stars, an ocean wave, a sun, and peony flowers. There is a curtain in one corner of the frame, pulled back around them.

A black and gold illustration of a monstrous women in a white robe with gold jewelry and many wings. One half of her body is covered in eyes, while the other half is thick scales. One half of the background is white with a dark moon and the other half is black with rays of light. There is Enochian alphabet along the border and jewelry. The banner at the bottom reads, "Be Not Afraid."

A black and gold illustration of a butch knight, in golden scale armor covered in wing and star motifs, holding a black sword with a glowing hilt. She is surrounded by a border of sunflowers, moons, wings, and stars. The banner flowing behind her reads, "Knight of Stars."

Reverse FRIEREN x DUNGEON MESHI x international monster myths Mal doesn’t understand how she became the world’s only immortal human, but that won’t stop her and her bookworm elf companion from slaying every mythical beast until they’ve unlocked the secret to ending immortality. #WIPPIT #WIP #A #F

This is a graphic with pink clouds and a pink-purple sky. In the center is a full moon shining over a Europe-style castle that appears to be floating on mist above blue-tinted mountains. In the air are small birds and a flying female deity in East Asian robes. She’s pointing towards the castle and a black silhouette of an elf walking with a caped human. Near them is text that reads, ‘Journey WIP.’ In the foreground are two elaborate mirrors: one featuring the characters from the anime Delicious in Dungeon, and the other featuring Frieren characters.
