I am giving a try to Substack and wrote a small blog on my experience as a ghostwriter in the pre-LLM era. As a producer of slop before the AI slop, I have been thinking about it a lot those days. If you are interested it is a short (and free ofc) read :) starfruitjams.substack.com/p/dinosaur-p...

World bits 🦇 Parasitism starts in 1992, way after everything went to hell, but ads like this one were everywhere in the 1960s. Not a great idea, but who would have thought that mass-creating vampires to provide the labour demanded by impossible rhythms of production could have ended badly?

Looking for urban fantasy for #SapphicSeptember but wanting more UF that takes place outside the usual locations? Those Who Break Chains is a COMPLETE series--think Fate/zero if everyone was a sicko lesbian, set in Hong Kong and Singapore. itch.io/c/2569670/th...

If you see the word count inflate on AO3 is because I am editing old chapters. Man, that stuff was rough ahaha. Thank you so much for sticking with it despite the occasional shopping list action scene aha

Vampirism was supposed to be the ultimate career upgrade. Twenty years later, Graham is still waiting for the perks. Tired of grueling shifts and humiliating procedures, he begins smuggling supplies to the local werewolf clan. In exchange for a bite, of course. Read it here -> tinyurl.com/8juny7t7

I am using Royal Road both as a learning experience, and as an excuse to do some editing. I am also updating the AO3 version at the same time, so if you see some changes it is me not-so-stealthily renovating 🦇🐺

I usually avoid stats, but I just checked and in the last three days I added 5k to my wall of theory (aka my thesis) and 4k to my emotional support omegaverse. It made me a little happy, because I always feel so damn slow. Are them good words? Who knows! But things are moving, and that matters :)

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Realizing how much of my thesis themes I explored in my fiction is pretty uncanny. But also fuck, I lowkey I could just turn in 600 pages of vampire-based exploration of interdependence instead of whatever meatloaf of academichese and desperation I am trying to churn out. Thank god for chocolate

A lesson I leart from trying to describe architecture in my writing is that "the thing I made in The Sims once" might not be the best possible reference. #writing #draft2problemswemoveon #butstill #inmyheaditmadesense

Parasitism's "patch notes" (I am editing but I am also writing I promise): - Grammar throughout - Removed random POV switches that happened in Ch 2 and never again - Adjusted the first scene of Ch 3 to match the lore - Same for Ch 4. Darlings were killed. - Ch 5's commettee scene got a makeover

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I am still trying to write dat climax during lunch breaks. So Parasitism might not be alive and kicking, but it is 100% alive. Also hooray for the longest hyperfocus of my life 🌻

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

When l chose dopamine and splatted my first draft on AO3, I knew it was gonna be kinda rough. No regrets, love my 160k of weird ass vampire Marxist omegaverse, but I am at the point where my first draft pitfalls are really gonna pop off. I am so sorry my 2 readers, here it comes retcon galore 🥲

Oh, I gotta try this #Questpit thing! Parasitism is a paranormal rust belt noir, featuring a blue-collar vampire and an anarcho syndacalist werewolf. Gramsci X Omegaverse? #BL (but the boys are 35+ men in a mildly toxic codependency) and #whump (but the whumper is capitalism). Free on ao3 💜

Parasitism is still alive and so am I (if barely ahah). Just in a lil break while I try to birth something for predefence 😭

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I am still very, very boiled. I have no idea when I will be able to write fiction again 😵‍💫 STILL NOT ABANDONED! Maybe in a small hiatus? I really want to write but after a full day of thesis work I just have no space for anything that is not oblivion 😭

Weekly update: I am imploding due to work. I have an overarching outline for the rest of Parasitism and daydreamed the hell out of it, but my typing time needs to go to the stuff I get paid to do. Anyhow, this ain't a hiatus and I am not dipping for a decade this time, pinkie promise. <3

I am told I burn bright. Thank you, I say. I don't ask, "But do you know that I scorch so fucking fast?" That it is ashes left behind by the blaze? And why do I need to burn in the first place? Sometimes I try to imagine existence without self consumption. It is dark, but it's quiet. #abitstressed

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Between work deadlines and the scary af world news I have been a total stressball. I have no time for fiction writing, but I do occasionally indulge in small bouts of day dreaming, and curl up in my blanket of make believe. It is tiny and often brief, but it makes breathing a little easier.

010

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

I was re-reading the earlier chapters of Parasitism and dang, don't they feel rough. I wrote the first 25 chapters while super sick and tripping serious balls and it does show. Fever dream energy right there. Oh, well. I wanted to finish before editing but I might have changed my mind ahah.

000

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

I can't wait to finish my story, take some distance and forget all about it, so that I can compulsively binge it as a reader because when I said I wrote this thing for myself I 100% meant it and god I want the full package without stressing over that hostile looking semicolumn in paragraph 5 ✨️

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

I wrote 3k yesterday and will probably be able to deliver the new chapter this week 🌻 So yus, delayed we are still so alive!

I have been asked why I post Original Work on AO3. I am aware I am frying my first pub rights, yes. But that little bonfire was necessary for this thing to exist. It does not have to fit trad pub standards because it was never meant to in the first place. I can write free.

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

I am still unable to update my long fic regularly. I did so well for months! But I went back to my job, which I really like and also include a lot of writing so I just don't have the energy. That said I will keep going, even if it means vomiting 200 words at a time during my commute ✨️🌈🌻

011

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

My RL job can be super intense. I still love it, but unfortunately I am finishing my days with very little cognitive juice to spare for my gay anti-capitalist vampire fiction. I swear to God I will finish that thing, but yeah. Delays. Our meat vessels need rest, and I cannot will the fact away 🥲💜

Service info for the 5 people following Parasitism on AO3. For the first time in like 4 months I am going to skip an update! Sorry about that - life has been a bit intense. I will put up the new chapter as soon as it's done <3

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

I am becoming my own toxic fan. Really, it's a problem. I am rabid. I NEED to read the next chapter. I get so annoyed with myself. Why won't this bitch write faster? (me to myself after my eyes start to hurt and I call a raw veg schnitzel "lunch" because god forbid I leave the freaking keyboard).

New chapters is up! "Werewolves lost it all the time – but their instinct was a complete, holistic thing, where needs and fears surged and overcame. The vampire seemed to go the opposite way. Once the hunger took over, all that remained was predation." archiveofourown.org/works/843463...

The story starts in 1992, way after everything went to hell, but ads like this one (everywhere in the 1960s) definitely helped reach that breaking point. Who would have thought that mass-creating vampires to provide the labour demanded by the impossible rhythm of production could have ended badly?

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

For context, I am writing a weird paranormal uchronia that uses popular fiction tropes to explore the horrors of late stage capitalism and systemic oppression. So fun, right? There is a three-way power system that sees humans at the top of the chain, and werewolves/vampires at the bottom.

010

starfruitjams.bsky.social @starfruitjams.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Sometimes I worry about the content of my writing. Is it too silly, too tropey, too weird? Then I think about Anne Rice, who wrote about gay vampires and super world-buildy, shamelessly bisexual BDSM harem fairy tales retelling in the fucking 80s. And nothing. What an inspiration, you queen.

I am not 100% sure of how I am actually supposed to use this. I was never into Twitter or Instagram, but never too late? Realistically, it might become my writing process brainsump or something.
