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.

Preorders: Pre-orders are welcome, if your book releases within 5 weeks of the bundle's end date. Please state the release date in your Itch book description, so readers know when they can download your book.

Categories: YA and Adult Fiction, novellas and full length novels.

Look at these gorgeous covers for two amazing books!! Both coming out October 6! Shattered City (City of Silver, book 2) by @tallimorgan.bsky.social Cover by @thistlearts.bsky.social Pre-order at itch: silvercrescentpress.itch.io/shattered-city Or elsewhere: books2read.com/cos-shattere... 🧵

Cover Reveals! Shattered City by T.L. Morgan and The Modern Mythos Continuum by Juniper Lake Fitzgerald. The covers are shown against a warbled pinkish-red background. The cover of Shattered City shows main characters Cyrus and Lucien stand in a close embrace, gazing at each other intently. Lucien has his arm around Cyrus, and Cyrus is touching Lucien’s hair. They’re set against a dark blue background and surrounded by an intricate frame of silver roses and thorns. The cover of The Modern Mythos Continuum shows from left to right: Aeris the vampire hunter, Python the vampire, Calysto the warlock. The trio is pictured in a tight formation. Aeris is peering into the distance and holding a thin golden necklace between her fingers. Calysto is back-to-back with her, and holds a book against his chest while staring up and out. His other arm wraps around Python who is leaning against him, seemingly in a catatonic state, his eyes are blank and/or detailed with magical light. A silhouette of a bat-like creature looms behind them.

The covers of Shattered City by T.L. Morgan and The Modern Mythos Continuum by Juniper Lake Fitzgerald are shown with their respective vampire main characters: Lucien for Shattered City, and Python for The Modern Mythos Continuum. Text with an arrow pointing to Shattered City says “Sequel to Silver Blood,” and text with an arrow pointing to The Modern Mythos Continuum says “Sequel to The Modern Mythos Anomaly.” Both out October 6.

Cleves claims that Walden stole "my" cover design. Even if Cleves designed her own cover (unusual if so), her book's cover consists mainly of a barely-modified drawing from the 1800s. Walden's cover nods to the same 1800s art, but is an original drawing, not a reproduction like Cleves' cover.

Hollow silhouette portrait of Sylvia Drake and Charity Bryant, braided hair over silk mount, created sometime in the 1800s, artist unknown. The image shows two women in silhouette facing each other, surrounded by a border made of braided hair.

Front cover for Charity & Sylvia by Rachel Hope Cleves. The only art on the cover is the silhouettes reproduced the 1800s drawing, on a similar background texture, but with the braided hair border removed.

Cover to "Charity & Sylvia" by Tillie Walden. Nearly full figure drawings of two women sitting with their heads - fully drawn, not silhouettes - turned to face each other. An incredibly elaborate hand-drawn border Features a house, a city, a mother an infant, a cross, a starry sky, and many, many other details.

Cleves mentioning the cover similarity as evidence that Walden adapted her book is so disingenuous because as this post points out, both covers were based on this image!

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

Generative AI isn't good at writing code either (and the code it outputs also comes from code written by humans that was scraped without consent and plagiarized, just like writing, art, music, etc, so if you morally object to using generative AI in those domains please don't use it for code either)
