i left the interactive fiction community (forums & the neointeractives) because of safety concerns from an attempted doxxing, harassment, transphobia, and ableism. while writing will always be my first love, ultimately, the continuance and quiet condonation of this was too destructive for my health.

Happy cover reveal day to T.L. Morgan (@tallimorgan.bsky.social)!!! SILVER BLOOD is a gothic vampire romance novel coming on February 11, 2025. Learn more and preorder the ebook at undernightfall.carrd.co. Gorgeous cover art is by @thistlearts.bsky.social!
Cover of “Silver Blood” by TL Morgan which features a digital illustration of two men beside each other with their hands almost touching. One man has short brown hair and wears green pants and a green waistcoat. The other has long white hair and wears blue pants, blue waistcoat, and a ruffled shirt. The cover is bordered with gold roses, thorns, and decorative foliage.An arrow chart graphic for “Silver Blood” by TL Morgan. Surrounding an image of the book cover, text reads: What to expect from Silver Blood: forbidden romance; gothic decadence; reluctant allies to lovers with a side of “who did this to you”; a blend of mystery & intrigue; standalone with a little extra on the side; angsty but HFN ending; many, many nods to classic vampire lore; trevor belmont x alucard vibes (but like if trevor was bad at being a vampire hunter); slow burn; achillean vampire x human. February 11, 2015; preorder now undernightfall.carrd.coText reading: I don't wish to be synonymous with slaughter. Cyrus Beldon was born to kill vampires. Or so says his indomitable family legacy. For generations, the Beldon hunters have kept the peace between humans and vampires, navigating tense diplomacy with the elite Honorable Families and eliminating threats when needed. Cyrus is content to leave the hunting and slaying to his capable older siblings, but when his oldest brother is murdered by Honorable vampires in a shocking break of the truce, Cyrus becomes determined to find out why his brother was not merely killed, but turned into a bloodthirsty creature known as a Wild vampire.
Cyrus’s hunt for information on the monster that became of his brother leads him to discover an experiment suggesting that recently-turned vampires can have their humanity restored, and with this revolutionary possibility within his reach, Cyrus dares to hope for a future in which he can save vampires instead of killing them. He traces the studies back to one of the five Honorable Families, and with the help of studious and infuriatingly proud Lucien Vista, Cyrus delves into vampire biology to seek the core cause of Wild turns—and a cure for them.
Amid multiple high-profile murders, rising tension between the Beldons and the Honorable Families, and dangerous sparks between Cyrus and Lucien, the truce is at a tipping point, and Cyrus and Lucien must decide how far they are willing to go to keep the peace between their families—or if it’s already too late.

✨ From Jenny and the Cat Club, written and illustrated by Esther Averill. 1958.
Very simple drawing in black and red. A shorthaired black cat has its forepaws up on a low wall so that it is standing tall on its hind legs, looking up at a big star. The star is red and the cat is wearing a red scarf, and the background is white.

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore." I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT. We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

This is Charlie. When I lift cats at the humane society I go very, very slowly to make sure they consent to it, but when I started to wrap my fingers under Charlie just a little bit he LEAPED into my arms and snuggled into my neck!He was a stray and now someone will be SO lucky to adopt him. ❤️

Keep making art. Keep writing your stories. Even if they must exist in secret for a time, they are important - each of them a little act of rebellion. Most of all, keep on living. If you can muster no other motivation on some days, then do it out of righteous spite for those who want you gone.

Now more than ever is the time to stop clutching your pearls over queer art and fiction that you find "uncomfortable". You can, will, and have contributed to the mindset that queer art deserves censorship. Let people be freaks. DEFEND your freaks. Embrace the freak you've been hiding inside.

A lot of autistics don't know what to do with ourselves today. My only advice is Do Not do anything permanent. You're allowed to grieve, despair, be enraged and struggle to handle that in a healthy way. Don't beat yourself up for not being calm or "normal" about this, but Be Safe
