Everyone talks about the champagne “problem” when writing fantasy but what happens when the portable defensive fortification you want to use in this scene is Chevaux de frise? What then, huh? #writingcommunity

Ok, good news: Nash is coming home tomorrow. Bad news: his medical bills are looking quite extensive, I can provide a full report if desired. I can't absorb all of it, my family can help, but I need to contribute at least a portion of it. I'll be doing sales for the rest of 2026 to help get started.

God I'm so tired of seeing rapists everywhere. I hate these fucking braindead pigs, I hate watching them gorge on power and money for no reason except that they want it, I hate knowing they're torturing women with impunity, I hate seeing their smug stupid fucking faces on the news.

Unpopular opinion: Stop teaching us (women, trans, MINORS) how to avoid being catcalled, assaulted, and raped. Start speaking up and showing up for us, tell them to stop. Call them out loudly for THEIR ACTIONS. They should be shamed, not us.

With Ace Week🖤🩶🤍💜 coming up Oct 25-31st, I'm putting together an Itchio bundle called 'Asexuals on Adventures'. Main criteria: at least one main character is somewhere on the asexual spectrum (aro-ace is fine👋) and see eligibility graphic for 'Adventure'!⬇️ Sign up form: on my discord or I can DM!

Asexuals on Adventures, Coming Oct 19-31st on Itchio.

Ace flag and purple background.

Main text: 'Adventure' for the purpose of this bundle could be of a fantastical, scientific, or other speculative nature, or historical. Ideally it involves travel/ exploration, and may involve quests (from personal in scale, to save a people/ save the world.)

Eligibility & Genre:
At least one Main Character is somewhere on the asexual spectrum.
Plot-central ace (and LGBTQIA+) themes are welcome, but not required.

Adventure. There needs to be a big adventure, ideally one involving geographical travel. Eg. Exploring space/ a fantasy world, time travel, an alternate history, an underworld of demons, a society of vampires. Sexual exploration involving long distance travel and experiences of other places (eg a road trip) is welcome. Murder mysteries involving long distance travel (eg. multi city/ country investigations and some experience of those places) are welcome.

Given Adventure, I'm anticipating Fantasy, SciFi & other Speculative Fiction. Possibly Historical, mystery/ crime, romance, NSFW.
