Finally done with this piece, and so pleased (for now) with how it turned out! Supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi get the full tarot card version~!
A large humanoid with pointed ears, horns, and dark-stained hands with purple nails holds a planet in their grip. Under one hand, the planet is cracking apart. A swirl of stars shines behind them.

Coming Soon!
My husband and I take on The Horror Zine's list of do's and don't's. When your submission guidelines disallow genre staples like slashers, gore, and religious or political themes, we're left wondering: what's left in Horror to write about?

My writing career (such that it is) summed up in one image:
A screen cap of the webtoon Cinderella Boy. Buddy, depicted as a homeless Victorian youth, sits against a brick wall in an empty alley where he was just in a fistfight with another boy. His knees are tucked in to his chest, his head between them, hands gripping his hair tightly. It is implied he is having an anxiety attack over guilt about the actions he must take to survive on the streets.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 29! I'm definitely an introvert. In the main cast of Stellar Eclipse:
Baltan - Introvert but can tolerate social settings
Eureka - Ambivert; likes being with his family anywhere
Azzie - Introvert, WILL get anxious in crowded places
Lleuwellyn - Extrovert but bad at it

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 22: What type of book would your MC(s) write? Baltan would probably end up writing quick romance novels because they sell. (minor spoiler) Eureka actually ends up working as a translator at a publishing house, and he'd probably write short narrative nonfiction.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 20 is a snippet share, so I'm going to actually try to share some of my writing?? Unheard of for me, lol. Here's the opening of the Weathering the Storm edition of Cloudless Rain which I will HOPEFULLY finish and upload this year.
Looking back, everything had taken a sharp turn for the worse the day Baltan's roommate brought home a corpse. The late autumn storm had reached its crescendo the previous night, leaving dense cloud coverage and scattered showers behind. Soon the last traces of summer humidity would give way to the drier chill of winter. Baltan would survive by hiding away in bed, buried under two thick blankets and wool pajamas, until the spring thaw coaxed him out of his hibernation. One glance at the room would have made anyone wonder if he had gotten an early start. A pile of unsorted laundry taunted him from the foot of his bed, creating a large lump when he threw his patched comforter over it. The stale taste of old soda dried his mouth, and when he reached for a glass of water he knocked the empty bottle off his nightstand. It clinked against two others that lurked on the floor, and he nudged them aside with his foot as he shambled out of bed and tugged the thick, dark curtain away from his window. For a moment, Baltan thought he must have slept in until after dusk. The sky was nearly black, but the street lamp on the corner hadn't come on. The living room downstairs fared no better, having almost no natural lighting. The sliding glass door to what passed for a backyard looked directly onto the stone alley wall, with barely enough room to stand between them for a smoke. Baltan tried to turn on the lamp at the foot of the stairs as he passed. Nothing happened. The living room was a mess, but Baltan could navigate it blindfolded if he had to. He toed his way around the clutter of stacked books, old newspapers, and to-be-recycled bottles in the dark, until he made it to the relatively tidy kitchen. It was there and then, after an unexpectedly loud yawn, that Baltan was awake enough to make a key observation: the house was quiet.

Oh, here's a fun one for #FantasyIndiesSeptember, because he might not strike readers as power-hungry right away, but there is a character introduced in Echoed Thunder who very much DOES want power for what he considers ethical reasons. Though he's willing to use some unethical means to get it...

Let's see if I can do today's #FantasyIndiesSeptember and work back to fill in what I missed. Day 15: Where would my MCs like to visit? Azzie would go anywhere, preferably somewhere not too loud/crowded; Lleuwellyn wants to tour a big city; Baltan and Eureka just want to visit loved ones.

My job really takes any energy I have to post, lol. #FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 7 (skipping 6, I have no snippets): Something in my WIP that surprised me!
It isn't EXACTLY in my WIP? But I had an unexpected chance to go to an area similar to one setting this summer, and took some notes on it!

Trying to get caught up! #FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 5: Free Friday, fandom edition!
I have written tens of thousands of words, maybe over 100k, of Cinderella Boy RP with my husband lately. It is the only thing I've been consistent with for MONTHS lol.
I love the silly fairy tale gays.

Oops, I fell behind! #FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 4: Hobbies!
Eureka loves to cook, bake, and care for stray cats. He and Baltan both enjoy listening to "The Night Train", a mystery/noir radio program. Azzie collects bottle caps from the beach! Lleuwellyn...does not have hobbies, he has vices.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 3: Education in WIP
In Stellar Eclipse, the school year runs from the start of summer to the end of winter, with a considerable break at the start of winter to study for finals. Spring is the "vacation" season, though there are special classes at that time.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 2:
I have finally embraced being a mood reader. I have a massive TBR, and I keep a few options next to my bed to try to read before I go to sleep. Monthly supporters on my Ko-Fi or Patreon can also choose a book for me to read and review, and those take priority!

Hi, I'm Avalon, and I have never successfully completed one of these post-a-day challenges. No time like the present, right? I'm working on re-editing my Stellar Eclipse series to make some general improvements to world building and syntax. And maaaaybe a dragon rider series? We'll see!

And here is the reference sheet for Avalon Roselin on its own!
Reference sheet for Avalon Roselin, a humanoid character in a purple skintight suit with a dark overcoat, silver hair, gold eyes, pale skin, and twisted purple horns. Reference contains a full body image, details on the coat and horns, a basic face front and side view, a few alternate outfits, color palette, and expressions. Text reads: Ancient Beyond Age Agender, they/it Asexul/Aromantic Apathetic and aloof--rarely forms attachments, but is utterly dedicated to those few relationships and will watch over generations of descendants from a benign distance. More dragon features when angry--horns, scales, fangs, forked tongue. Fairy standard "resting" face--are they annoyed? Bored? Who knows? A rare look of endearment.
