So! This is my ongoing LGBTQ+ gaslamp fantasy serial, currently at 78 chapters and counting of vampires, werewolves, magic, mayhem, and tasty tasty snowbound fog-shrouded Gothic atmosphere - unsurprising, considering that it's partially a love letter to Dracula and The Woman in White.

(1/4)
Silver in the Ashes (Argentum in Aqua 2): Chapter 51

In which Sabbat wakes up, Viola learns something new, and Archer makes a choice.

The big reveal of what was in the remaining envelopes! Which turned out to be incredibly interesting and confusing both.

If you'd like to see what you can do with the list of words, I've posted them here.

This thread is one year old today, and, unfortunately, it is even more important to be reading and preserving trans stories than when it started. I truly thank everyone who has contributed to it, everyone who has kept sharing it, and everyone who has made a point to buy books from these authors. 🧵
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Maybe some government agencies aren’t bad
This is a joke because the labs are food free areas and if we ever brought food into one of our labs the consequences would be dire have you ever met an engineer.

One of my favorite series ever! I need to own them myself instead of just reading on Libby because i desperately need to paint the edges. Idk what pattern or design yet but I need to
THE REANIMATOR MYSTERIES series is perfect for lovers of Gothic coziness. There are 3 books with
💀Pushing Daisies x Sleepy Hollow vibes
🫀An autistic necromancer
⚰️His reanimated lover
🪦 Solving mysteries in 1890s NYC
🏳️‍🌈MM paranormal historical romance
🔗⬇️In libraries & itch

#SFFChat 3: I feel like I could be cheeky and say my nonhuman inorganic Ship AI character but I won’t.

But I think it’s mostly the concept of pushing too far, wanting to know too much.
#SFFChat Q3: We often talk about setting as its own character. What nonhuman, inorganic feature of your work could you think of in this way?

Could be a place, a thing, an idea . . . .

#SFFChat 2: I’m literally listening to it now! The album The Bifrost Incident by the Mechanisms is one of my main inspirations for one of my upcoming pieces.
#SFFChat Question 2: Share a piece of media *other* than a book that's influenced your writing!

Could be a song, movie, poem, TV show, videogame, TTRPG, etc! Anything!

#SFFChat 1: it very much depends on the story. But a good snowstorm especially if it’s windy. It energizes me just enough while also giving the desolate feeling that I have in a lot of my work
#SFFChat Question 1: What's your favourite writing weather? Either something that gets you in the mood to write by providing a certain atmosphere, or weather you like to right while *in* in!
