I need the supernatural mundane: a werewolf picking ticks out of its fur, a vampire trying to get a hair off their tongue, a zombie suffering from poison ivy, a skeleton with degenerative disc disease

Hell yeah. $1465. A mere $135 to $1600, and if we get there before 8am... well, read the post I quoted. That's just 4 people buying a single copy of the print book! I'd be very happy to give a bunch of you some of this production art. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wan...

I will be okay. Not because everything is fine, but because I am surprisingly difficult to destroy. Says Skeletor who notices being hard to destroy sure doesn’t mean a bunch of asshoes don’t keep trying.

What needs to happen is if they want a book banned, they have to actually read it and write a compelling ten page book report explaining why it should be banned with quotes and references. If they didn’t actually read it, they get laughed out of the forum. Vote VelvetPuddle for prez 🖤

A story of a gay elf taking his elderly Home Health Care human on an adventure to kill the king. Its a bittersweet road trip adventure, modeled after pathfinder and D&D

Barnaby knocked on the door. No answer. He waited for a few minutes. No worries. He was still getting paid. He opened the door with a loud creak and stepped inside, and he almost missed the large object flying by his head in his attempts to be quiet.
His head spun to see an axe that had to weigh as much as a seven-year-old human child splintering into the tree behind him. Warm poured down his leg and pooled onto the floor. Barnaby shook in place and stared in terror at a short but muscular woman wearing a nightgown. She came up to about his chin.
She laughed. “Ha! That’ll show you to open a woman’s door without knocking!”
“I-I did knock.”
“Oh yeah? I’m just impressed you’re still standing. The last HEC guy fainted, and I had to carry him back.” She held out a hand, and Barnaby shook it, knees still shaking. “So, as you can see, I don’t need Home Elf Care, and you can tell them I don’t care how much he’s paying them, maybe you can send guys to people who actually need them!”

Home Elf Care
JULY 10th
Available on Kobo, B&N, Payhip, Amazon, and more

I learned (through reading Invisible Women) that we’re pushed out of games because we process movement differently than men, so many of us get so terribly motion sick in games that don’t affect men. I’ve always wondered why I couldn’t binge certain games. They aren’t made with women in mind.

Twitter gave me this really bad habit of liking something before reading it, due to the feed refresh, so if you ever see me like a morally dubious post (besides monster fucking), it’s probably a mistake that I’ve already corrected 🖤

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

Remind anyone who tries to use the phrase "separate the art from the artist" that it was originally coined for academic/critical practice in order to analyze the work. Not to cling onto stuff that actively harms people just because you like it a lot.
