Hello everyone! If you're in the #Ottawa area, we'll be holding a book launch for GROTESQUE on November 7th! And not just any book launch... It's a DRAG book launch, baby! It's at Swizzles Bar & Grill, 246 Queen St! Doors are 9:30 PM with doors at 10 PM - cover charge $15.

A seven-paneled event poster, featuring seven drag performers. The event details are all in the post itself (promise). The center performer, Trixie Rose Lee, has red hair, white makeup and elaborate black swirls around their eyes along with black lipstick. They are wearing skeleton gloves, a black ballgown, and posing with a fan. The top left, Steven King's Daughter, has white and black hair, black lipstick, and an elaborate jewelled neckpiece. They are wearing wings and a headpiece with eyes on it. Below them is Cox Enelle, who is wearing clown makeup, a painted mustache, and a red and black top. Bottom left is Prince Vic, who has on white face paint, goggles, a blue shirt and a black-and-gold vest. On the other side, top right, is Durtee Munee, who has a painted mustache, a black top, and black gloves. Middle right is Anni Elation, wearing a gold and white dress, gold and white gloves, and an elaborately curled wig. Bottom right is Nut Ella, wearing a blue and black outfit and a blue headscarf.

Anyways, I’d really like for things to not get harder with these shut off. This is how I have to keep my family afloat. No family , no back up and I’m unable to work while waiting for disability which has been REALLY fucking hard to get on. I’m stuck and without help here we lose everything.

#QueerWritersChat One thousand percent the opening of the book. He tries to befriend someone who's crashing out, contracts a psycho contagious disease while embroiled in a toxic relationship with him and accidentally kills him while trying to stop him from doing something deeply dangerous.

#QueerWritersChat Lee from the SciFi WIP probably likes slasher movies and stuff like that, but not the more cerebral stuff. He's a bit of a fuckboy. Allegra would like literary gothic horror.

#QueerWritersChat Hey all! I'm Elliott and I'm a horror author. My current WIP -- I have many, but I'm moving my focus to a science fiction horror project, which is a new genre/subgenre for me. We're talking generation ships and weird aliens.

OK so I'm having some issues with the post-op dates for my surgery next month, the office previously told me I only had to stay until the 13th & now they're saying I have to stay until the 19th. Do any mutuals in the bay area have a spare room or something that I could crash at for a week?

Horror stories starring trans people that actually get to be about them being people in horrific situations instead of just trans 101 in book form again. Okay, no, that's half the indie horror community, thankfully. ...Cosmic Queer Horrors that keep you trapped on the edge of your seat. Better.

I don't do the same level of tragedy anymore but I do still love doing hard emotional stuff and making my characters process fucked up shit

Elliott Dunstan -- GROTESQUE Oct 13th! @fiversdream.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I've been a menace to my own characters since I was ten and gotten a reputation for turning the emotional screws since I was fifteen. It used to be a game in my fandom circles to make people read a particular one of my fics on stream and bet on whether or not they'd cry.

#HorrorWritersChat I have a couple different WIPs I'm bouncing between but in Elessa/BCaC, the motivations of the antagonist are really coming together! Greed and fear are such reliable motivations.

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: Hi! I'm Elliott Dunstan and I write gothic horror with a touch of cosmic/eldritch. I also dabble in surrealism and body horror! As for the question -- I mean, pretty much anything growing where it shouldn't is messed up, but I'm particularly fond of inorganic stuff taking-

The Butcher of the Forest by @premeemohamed.com was great. A mix of fairytale and horror with an utterly devastating emotional core.

This is also a pet peeve of mine where clowning, jestering, miming, etc have all become jokes/memes instead of professions *of" jokesters Haha clown school what a silly concept. Hey did you know that the Be A Clown number in Singin in the Rain is one of the most physically demanding numbers *ever*

Can we not do the thing where something that is actually a profession gets turned into (even more of) a Fun Popular Thing To Do To Recover For Your Real Job Like yeah ok clown school sounds fun and whimsical and if you wanna do it, go do it, but like People are clowns for, like, money

Should folks with mental illness get sympathy and the benefit of the doubt? Yes, absolutely! But for someone to be patting herself on the back for how Anti-Racist she is while getting the kind of slack I wish BIPOC folks got is just another layer of awful.

The irony of it all is that her whiteness is what allows folks to even try defending her with this excuse. My breakdown involved facing police brutality and zero sympathy from my at-the-time white friend group.

Not even in a "I'm parasocial about actors I like" way, I mean that this seems so deeply out of the norm for their bodies of work. It's like the flip version of "gal Gadot stars in low budget queer environmentalist horror"
