Here is an artist’s sketch of the opportunistic Sebastian Wallace, introduced in last week’s episode as the asshole wearing cufflinks carved from Siegfried’s horns. #WritingCommunity #FictionPodcast

The Hevian police destroyed as many ILA recruitment posters and pamphlets as they could during their battle against Ilkhatal liberation. We have one the remaining few pamphlets that survived the purges (typos and all). #WritingCommunity

A tan, stain pamphlet. On the left hand side of the pamphlet there is a faded drawing of an anthro crocodile with horns that point forward and inward and furry cow ears. Under the photo there is text tha says Diarmund O'Connell - Fearless Founder Diarmund O'Connell born in Dreikh, Killbraugha founded the Ilkhatal Freedom Movement with Sean King in 1789. Believing the war would end only when the violence was brought before the Hevian's doors, he left for Bearcaska in 1793 and founded the Ilkhatal Freedom Movement in 1795. In the middle of the pamphlet there is text that says: "You can kill me but you'll never smother the flames of liberty that blazes in every Ilkhatal's heart Diarmund O'Connell Founder of the ILA After Sean King was betrayed to the Hevians and executed, it fell to the ILA to continue our fight for freedom. Diarmund launched an assassination campaign and was arrested in 1806. He died while in prison. his final words were: You can kill me, but you'll never smother the flame of liberty that blazes in every Ilkhatal's heart." On the right side of the pamphlet there is a faded drawing of an anthro crocodile with horns that point upwards and furry cow ears. He is wearing a halter top. Below the drawing there is text that says Heron Massie and Rory Montivelo - O'Connell's Successors Heron Massie and Rory Montivelo succeeded O'Connell and continued his assaination and bombing campaign. They brought the Hevians to their knees and wrung a promise of Ilkhatal Liberation after the Shadow War. However, the treacherous Hevians sent our bravest and brightest to the slaughter and broke their promise.

I just added three new shirts to my threadless store. Feel a lot of anger around the censorship bullshit artists, especially erotica and queer artists as well as sex workers are facing right now so I made these shirts for some catharsis.

Slowly but surely I'm making progress on the album cover for my fantasy noir podcast Say I Slew Them Not. Need to play around with Alex (the human) background, but I like how Kingsley, the anthro croc is coming along. #FictionPodcast #WIP
A digital drawing. In the right hand corner there is a tan background. A brown cherry blossom branch with pink flowers and a green, black and tan scaled anthro crocodile with tan horns and brown furry cow ears smelling a white tulip. He is wearing a blue prison uniform. A diagonal banner cuts across the painting from the top left hand corner to the bottom right hand corner. There is text on the banner that says Say I Slew Them Not a Fantasy Noir Podcast. in the bottom left hand corner there is a blue background. There is a light brown deer head mounted on a brown board. A white clean faced person with curly brown hair and smoking a cigarette. They are wearing a light blue, long sleeve button down voice and a green vest and brown slacks. He is sitting on a light brown chair in front of a brown desk. There is a green lamp, a blue steaming mug, a black typewriter, a grey ashtray and a pile of papers on top of the desk.

This is my fave line from episode 1. It is the core of Alex's arc in this season as well as a desperate plea to their wife to help them find themselves again. It's also a line all of my beta readers highlighted, so there's that. #WritingCommunity #FictionPodcast

A black and white photo of a blurred person with shoulder length black hair and wearing a black sweater. There is white text over the photo that says Do you despise me, or am I too absent to hate?

A photo of a sun rising over a green field and into a grey sky. There is a translucent white square over the field with text that says: With Killbraugha gaining its independence and the Alkahoon and Sundaran Republics thriving, the best have left for greener lands, and there is no one left to speak for Heva's unwanted and destitute. Or maybe the war killed them all, the survivors too few, ever too few. - Episode 1, Say I Slew Them Not

One of my favorite things about Alex is that he's such a grumpy hater of everything. #WritingCommunity #FictionPodcast

A black and white photo of an old black car parked on the road in front of a white house. A white, semi-translucent square sits over the card. In the square there is text that says: The handful of automobiles whose owners were brave enough to park in this all but abandoned neighborhood stand single-file on the edges of the road. Lifeless things that grow uglier with every new model. - episode 1, Say I Slew Them Not

Alex may be best known for publishing Kingsley's memoir, Say I Slew Them Not, but he also wrote an insightful article on being Asexual, Nonbinary, and Married. #WritingCommunity #AcePride #FictionPodcast

www.theferdariangazette.com/episodes-and...
A picture of a blue, grey, white, and purple striped flag. There is a light pink semi-transparent square over the flag. In the square there is text that says: In even the most accepting of societies, in which my own homeland, Ferdern, probably ranks five out of ten, most people can accept the thought of being asexual and/or non-binary. However, the moment they realize they are talking to someone who is asexual and non-binary every moment of their life, they cannot overcome their shock. Once they find out that an asexual and non-binary person is married and enjoys their relationship and life, their unconscious and unexamined bias take over and they leave feeling they have somehow been tricked.

Nazima doesn't hold back when talking about her own family. She acknowledges Alex was a pain in the ass, but he was also the only responsible member of her family (as sad as that is) #WritingCommunity #FictionPodcast

The 1st line of the 1st ep of my fantasy noir podcast Say I Slew Them Not sets the somber tone of the entire show. W/ the rain, reminiscent of the best horror stories, & the tolling of the bells (for whom the bell tolls? It tolls for thee) #writingcommunity #fictionpodcast #FurryLit

Alex and Christine are going through it in the first episode of my podcast Say I Slew Them Not. Alex wanted a large family and Christine agreed, even though her voices told her it would end in disaster (yeah she hears voices that may tell the future?). She has a life-threatening miscarriage

A square picture of a grey featureless mannequin wearing a blindfold in a grey space. Over the mannequin is a semi-translucent box. In the box is the following text in white: "I can safely say this wasn't the first time two poorly disguised criminals picked me up off the street, blindfolded me, and drove me to a secure location to interview someone whose life depended on their anonymity, nor will it be the last." - Episode 14, Say I Slew Them Not

Pepper Halloway is the newest hire at the Ferdarian Gazette and is still painfully optimistic and enthusiastic about life. She is the narrator of the podcast and is banned from drinking espresso after the incident. #FurryLit #FictionPodcast
A tan square with black text that says Pepper Halloway The Narrator of Say I Slew Them Not. To the left and right of the text is a red, orange, white, light pink, and dark pink stripped heart. Below the text is a charcoal drawing of a featherless bird creeature wearing a bow tie. Below her is a pink highlight box and text that says Fun Fact: She is banned from drinking espresso ever again after the "incident". To the left of the photo is text that says Pepper Halloway is a transplant from the Phoenix Fields. She came to Ferdern to understand how media worked in a democracy and ended up being bitten by the journalist bug. She's worked at the Ferdarian Gazette for three years and enjoys sharing the story of a complicated and contradictory Ilkhatal like Kingsley

Valerie Moore is the host of the podcast, a Minotaur who would rather talk about the Minotaur slave rebellion and her hero Kalani, the leader of the slave revolt, but also needs money, so you know. #FurryLit #FictionPodcast

She made the wise decision to join the Ferdarian Gazette and has worked there for eight years. She looks forward to wrapping up the podcast Say I Slew Them Not, so she can launch her own dream podcast: the story of the controversial freedom fighter: Kalani of the Monteparnesse Island. Villain to the Sividons, legendary hero to Minotaurs everywhere.
