Eden's existence, possibly explained by a conspiracy theory. The 27 Club, expanded. #wipsnips #writingcommunity #writesky #patreon #novel
A music industry conspiracy theory goes that the record labels were creating artificial musicians even back in the late 20th century, and that the famed “27 Club” that took Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Cobain, Winehouse, and other proteges through the years was actually the result of artificial humans, spawned into existence at age 17 with preternatural musical talent and charisma, then offing themselves ten years later in various staged ways to cover for the mechanically imposed limitations on their lifespans.

A lake at sunrise. The water is so still that it's hard to tell the difference between the trees and their reflection. Mist lies low on the surface, forming a horizontal line through the middle of the picture, but the sky is clear blue. The sun is peeking from behind a stand of pines in the center of the image.

Cid finds the cleanliness in the biolab disturbing. #wipsnips #novel #writingcommunity #writesky #patreon #cyberpunk
Those hallways were making me jumpy, though. Places this clean and bright were always up to awful shit, and besides I wasn’t used to it. Anywhere I’d gone pointing a gun before was gritty and dank and there was an odd comfort in that. It was easy to think about shooting up walls that already looked like they’d been shot at for six years straight. Easy to imagine violence breaking out where water was already leaking from the ceilings, or twisted metal was already strewn across the floors. Places that smelled like rust and blood and shit and dust, or mud and mold and piss and burning tires. Those were places that invited a rocket launcher, a bayonet, a well-placed fist. 

This? This looked like a rich people’s hospital, without the patients. It was quiet and creepy and brightly lit but soft, like it was asking you to fall asleep under interrogation.

Right: a butch-looking, muscular Black woman with short dreads, looking at the calendar with a stone face. Third row: left: a person in a black mask with x-eyes and a toothy smile sketched in light, perhaps EL-wire. In the background are neon-bright alerts and graffiti on a black background, suggesting hacker culture. Center: a red robot-looking figure with a goofy face that has a screen in it. Right: a sepia-toned run-down brick building with garage doors. Bottom row: left: a skinny person sitting on the floor surrounded by technology and wearing a headset with red glowing eyes that obscure the figure's face. Center: the hand and thigh of a silvery robot figure. Right: a white robot hand pressing a glowing button in an opalescent wall.

Dark brown background with write text that says OUGHT TO BE THY ADAM
Trans/Gay Frankenstein Retelling
It has two portraits beneath the text in the late victorian style of a femininely dressed Frankenstein's Monster, and to the right is Viktor Frankenstein's portrait. Dark brown background with white text that says:
In 1897, after studying corpses and toying with electricity, medical student Viktor has created a man from his desire for his friend, Henry. Except shame forces him to make one final adjustment: female parts. 

As his new creation gains sentience while vivisected during Viktor's university tour and begins to chafe under Viktor's thumb, a violent death and disobedience leads the monster to make himself into the man he was always meant to be.

Beneath says - 1890s gothic prose - Queer shame/RAGE - erotic body horror -

It has a late victorian style portrait of a man with long black hair and a blood splatter across it.Two hands reach out in the style of the creation of Adam/ One is clearly stitched together.
Beneath is text that says:
“Then make me whole. Take away my anger, and I’ll weather the shame with you. I am not your bride, not your monster.

A smartass cyborg, a deeply tired gangster, and a literal manufactured pop star walk into a wall of sand, called by a revolutionary musician who’s cheated death. But in the ruined city beyond is a power far greater. #questpit #W #SF #LGBT #hopepunk
On a background of a cracked desert with a solitary, gnarled tree float four pictures suggestive of the ensemble cast. Far left is Eden, a wide-eyed pouting beauty who recently found out that she was designed and created in a lab. Her picture is labeled "A literal manufactured pop star." Below her is Terrah, a butch-looking Black woman sitting at a computer in sunglasses. She is labeled, "A jaded security wrangler," as she has spent much of her career doing street-tough work in spite of her considerable tech skills. Up and to the right is a robot-looking fellow, representing Cid, an ex-military guy who chose to replace his body with a mech, and lost quite a few memories along the way. His caption says "A smart-ass full-conversion cyborg." Below is a skinny figure crouching in front of a laptop, wearing some kind of headset with glowing red "eyes." The prodigy hacker of the group, like all of them, is not what she seems. Her caption says, "And a cat-girl hacker." Two text boxes provide more context. The first says: "In this hollowed-out world, they thought that this was as alive as they would get." The second says, “But when they cross through the sand wall into the digital jungle, they'll learn more than they bargained for about the nature of life.” Finally, in the bottom right is a text box with the words: Working title: The Thorn. Under this, a bulleted list. First: “Cyberpunk but make it about people.” Second: “What if an Al was traumatized though.” Third: “What makes a person ‘real’?” Fourth: “What does it take to change the nature of humanity?” Last: “No irredeemable characters allowed.”

FROM THE SEA FRET ⚓Dredge + From the Belly⚓ A queer transman moves to a dead-end fishing town only to find it full of semi-mad townsfolk, monstrous fish, and an ever-present fog that whispers to him. #BluePit #📖#A #H #Q #TR #OV #LGBT
Two fishing boats sail on a grey ocean, with seagulls in the overcast sky. White text overlaps the grey sky.
It reads: A guide to 'From the Sea Fret' a 74k adult queer horrorGrey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Excerpt
Text is outlined: I scanned the horizon. It was just me on the water. There wasn’t anyone out sailing, or anyone swimming. I was completely alone.
	But… was I? Beneath me were leagues of ocean. Unlike in the forest, where you can hear the wildlife around you, there were creatures that could pass by in the sea and I would never know. The water concealed their movement, cloaking them from my view.
	It was getting harder to breathe. The vastness of the ocean was too open, and my skin felt too tight around my chest. I knew, deep in my bones, that something was beneath me and it was watching.
	On the port side, the water rippled. Though it was only a few steps, the length of the deck felt miles long. I was compelled to look below, and my body moved on its own accord. Though I was terrified of what I would see, I peered over.Grey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Pitch and Comps
Text is outlined: Callum Point moves to the dead-end town of Perne to scrape together a new life. He's hoping that the small fishing town will give him what he always wanted; peace. Unfortunately, what greets him is a place rife with secrecy, conspiracy and creatures beyond comprehension.
5 posters for books and shows have arrows and notes coming out of them.
Dredge by Black Salt Games has the notes: Capitalism despite the horrors. Something's wrong with the fish.
Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner has the notes: Queer and trans identity. People are monsters too.
The Fisherman by John Langan has the notes: Lovecraftian. Ocean madness.
The Lighthouse by Robert Eggers has the notes: Ocean madness. Obsession with answers.
Blood in the Bayou by Just Roll With It has the notes: Who can you trust? Small town cosmic terror.Grey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Themes
A moodboard of 9 images sits in the middle. A hand reaching out into dark water. Thick seaweed-covered chains being pulled from the ocean. A foggy wharf at night. A group of sharks in dark water. A pencil drawing of a compass on white paper. Close-up of a hazel eye with the pupil completely white. A pile of fish. A porthole looking out onto a grey ocean. The inside of a fishing shack.
Text surrounds the images. It reads: Paranoia turns revenge. Struggles with identity. Trans and queer rep. Grief over what could have been. Desperation to fit in. Cosmic/psychological/body horror.

👽WE EXPECTED MORE👽 Forty years after the fall of the internet, four women (and one genderless alien) embark on a journey that's one part saving the world, ninety-nine parts trauma recovery. #bluepit #📖 #OS #A #OV #ND #TV #SF
Several TVs depicting two women, an alien in a field making a heart with their hands, an overgrown telescope dome, and some bones overgrown with moss and flowers

“If we were to have a hope of speaking frankly, we needed to question you. Interrogate you, even. You understand.” I had #almost forgotten Barnum’s infuriating tendency to insist upon what his interlocutor must of course understand. #WIPsnips #writingcommunity www.patreon.com/kamela/posts...

TERMINAL CAFE x THE WIZARD OF OZ Four misfits flee a half-dead future Boston, following the call of a long-lost voice to a desert city no one can seem to remember. In its heart they will find out what "alive" really means. But first they have to save humanity. #BluePit #📖 #W #SF #LGBT #hopepunk
The background image is a high, curved sand dune; the sand is reddish-gold. Above, the sky is the sheer blue of rainlessness. At the top of the dune, there are tiny figures walking. The large text across the top reads "Working Title: The Thorn." Below, printed over a disturbed path in the dune, it says "releasing serially: patreon.com/kamela"

The First Lesbian Book Club asks "What happens if Ann Bannon got fed up with industry publishing standards of the time, got her friends together, and started vandalizing books to give them happy endings?" #BluePit #W #OV #LBGT #WF #R #FLBC #SapphicWriters #Writingcommunity
1954. Toronto, Canada loves its pulp fiction—as long as the lesbians don’t get a happy ending.

Cèilidh Reid, a journalist by day and a lesbian pulp writer by night, is frustrated. Censorship laws and social conventions demand her books end unhappily, and she has a pile of rejection notices to prove it.
Beverly Hendricks, an avid reader turned hobby writer, is equally fed up with the absence of H.E.As in books. Neither woman has found a happily-ever-after on the page—or in real life.
And since they cannot stand each other, they definitely won’t find it with each other.
When Cèilidh catches Beverly—armed with a utility knife, glue, and a stack of typewritten papers—tampering with one of her books in a local bookstore, it sparks an uneasy alliance and an audacious plan: rewrite the endings. Not just one book, but all of them.
With the help of a handful of not-quite authors they befriend along the way, Cèilidh and Beverly embark on a spree of literary sabotage. What follows is an adventure filled with road trips, hijinks, one truly terrible misuse of a thesaurus, and the very real possibility of a happily-ever-after for everyone.The First Lesbian Book Club. What happens if Ann Bannon got fed up with industry publishing standards of the time, got her friends together, and started vandalizing books to give them happy endings?

Calling all fans of gothic horror, queer retellings, Victorian pastiche lit, and messed up little guys. 🖤 Ought to Be Thy Adam is a gay/trans Frankenstein retelling querying this fall. Follow along for the journey or connect if you write similar stuff. #BluePit #H #Q #A #LGBT #OV #TR #HS #SP
Black background with two commissioned pieces of art of Viktor Frankenstein and his creation in Victorian clothes and frames.

White text over says "OUGHT TO BE THY ADAM" TRANS/GAY FRANKENSTEIN RETELLINGBlack with a photo of a man (Henry) in Victorian clothing and frame with blood across it. White text says: 
In 1897, after studying corpses and toying with electricity, medical student Viktor has created a man from his desire for his only friend Henry. Except shame forces him to make one final adjustment: female parts. 

As his new creation gains sentience while vivisected during Viktor's university tour and begins to chafe under Viktor's thumb, a violent death and disobedience leads the monster to make himself into the man he was always meant to be.

FIRST LIGHT: Tag yourself! Team SIX: You're a Robot! Reliable, artsy, and ALWAYS the designated driver. A little nosy too, but who isn't? Great fashion sense. Team XYD: You're an Alien! Curious & passionate, but sometimes you struggle to keep up socially. Nothing a nice nap won't fix! #BluePit
Artwork of Six from my book series First Light, as drawn by @nushdeco.bsky.social. 

A gynoid robot themed after a 1920s flapper, surrounded by art noveau-style architecture, such as an ornate stairwell and a circular window. She wears a yellow dress and high heels, and is carrying a book. Some of her body has been damaged and repaired. Her right leg is wooden, and her right arm looks vicious and weapon-like. She is surrounded by storm clouds, and a mechanical spider hangs next to her.A drawing of my OC Xyd, drawn by @nyxstrix.bsky.social 

Xyd is a reptilian alien with a slouched posture, four arms, gecko-like features, and a big fat tail. He is waving, and in one of his hands holds a tablet.
