A quick graphic of my 2026 projects: the queer taboo lit mag (@letterstothegods.bsky.social), Minthe (a dark queer audio drama reimagining of the abduction of Persephone), and #cannibalcandy (a queer gothic horrormance about curses, necromancy, and an unending holy war).
Something, something. I'm doing too much and need to take a step back but after every time I do, I forget that I need to STAY away and add more onto my plate. Do do dooo.

For my forth answer to #QueerWritersChat, I usually begin with characters who are on the bi/demi sexual/romantic spectrum and they evolve into whatever feels right for them. And, unless the story demands that they boink (or not), I usually adjust the story on minor levels to work with them.

Question Four:
What are the romantic orientations of your primary characters?

For the third question #QueerWritersChat, it's more of the not getting the characters that experience varying degrees of sexual and romantic attraction not to always be by the person/people of their affection. Those who are aro/ace can be a handful as well, whether they dabble in spicy times or not.

To answer the second question of #QueerWritersChat, romance, no matter how toxic, is a major driving force within my stories. As I write a lot of darker fiction, the romances tend to be on the twisted side in some aspect. I like to explore how not all love can be good, depending on the relationship.

Question Two:
Is romance a central theme in any of your work?

It's been an age since I last participated in an author chat, so #QueerWritersChat seems like a fun opportunity. I'm Ezra (they/them/theirs) and I tend to write dark and Gothic fiction. Right now, I'm in-between projects: Patreon posts, my cannibal Gothic horrormance, and the second Lost Gods.

This post is both a lot of fun to cobble together and incredibly time consuming (I temporarily lost 1K words last night while working on it but luckily I had it saved else ware). HOWEVER, I will never ever get tired of talking about Minthe and the music behind its creation.
Got a Minthe post in the works (maybe a few. Who knows.) for Patreon.
February 13, 2026 at 4:37 AM
I've been busy creating Minthe-related posts about music and contain a few audio things I'm super excited to share... but three of them will be contained to the $5 USD and $8 USD tiers, so if listening to some very cool things is a thing you're interested in, stick around for those.

I am so excited to finally share this one. RUIN is a human x vampire erotic short. It’s gothic. It’s folkloric. It’s good.

This is what I like too. Less hope, as such (though some can be welcome) but compassion, understanding. Something that feels like tenderness. Just 'hope' without any grounding can feel saccharine or dishonest.
I think I've sometimes said I prefer art that includes some amount of hope, but the qualities I was gesturing towards are better described as 1.) compassion, and 2.) levity/humor/joy. Stuff that's relentlessly bleak but has some jokes in it and doesn't just sneer at its characters often lands well.

My soft goal for February is to read and finish either Queer Gothic by George E. Haggerty (which I've slowly been consuming since last November) or Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart. My hard goal is to read both AND the e-copies of @morgandante.bsky.social's Runaway Prince and Hallowed Be Thy Name.
