Oh hey. The author stuff I do has a book up for preorder. Please consider getting it since the VN is on hold for the foreseeable future.
Day two's ad is less a call for preorders & more for Goodreads adds since I have minimal.

I'm not saying you should sign up for my newsletter if you want to keep getting updates on what I do. It would be nice though. And it'd be a nice fallback to have if something happens to BlueSky, as I literally have nowhere else anymore.

If you're not already following this Kickstarter, please do so. Especially if you love visual novels, yuri, and amazingly written stories.
This pre-launch is really struggling to find its momentum. 132 followers out of the ideal 500 to beat the #Kickstarter algorithm. It launches at the end of September. We're going to be so very active on here to gather more support for our visual novel. #Yuri #Art, #Poc, #gaming #illustrations ahoy!
Coming soon: Women of Xal II
Original Game Free! The revolution begins. Can Xjena survive rising violence and The Great Silence— Xal's final extinction event?

It is time. August 8-10.

Support 9 indie authors. Get 16 books for $25. All our Itch rev share is at 0%. And, for every 5 bundles bought, Nova the baby gets a present. I'll even spot you her first one.

Hey #writingcommunity

You should consider helping to fund and support the new bookstore @bailswrites.bsky.social is opening. It's in an area that's very limited in terms of indie book stores and she's done so much to support queer and indie authors.

A post discussing the future of Starting Over on Itch.io. In short - I'm moving the game off of Itch because I am no longer confident the platform is a safe place for queer creators to create and share adult content. And I worry queer content will follow

Hi all. Time for a talk. As many of you may be aware at this point, Itch delisted and banned several games as a result of pressure from a campaign by a far right anti-pornography group that has been p...

So. It would appear that Starting Over got caught up in Itch's shadowban shenanigans. The game is still there and playable, but only directly. If you'd like to support the game's development, please consider supporting on Patreon instead.

HELLO DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT MY SAPPHIC CHARACTERS ACROSS MY STORIES AND GAMES? Of course you do. This will cover the Azaes Realm series, my game I'm writing as @salamandersixstudios.itch.io, and the CYOA story I wrote publicly on the bird site back in 2019 (as perhaps it'll get something soon)
Tell me about your sapphic characters! What are they like? what do they mean to you? #WritingPrompt

Down to ~1,000 lines left. Then I can start on what will be the rest of the next round's updates.
Only ~3,000 lines of code left to update art assets for. Considering I started at nearly 20k, this has been a while coming

Thank you all so much for participating, in what is my biggest drawing to date.

55 characters (57 if you count Gary and Pooky) on an 8K canvas!

I would really appreciate it if you could share this, so I can show everyone how amazing this community is 💜.

omg this is popping the fuck off. Please do this for me.

Go support the bundles in this thread: bsky.app/profile/clh2...

And go buy my personal Pride bundle: itch.io/s/154012/pri...

My bundle is great. Supporting the ones with so many queer authors and books is MORE important.
It's the last day of #PrideMonth and I would once again like to talk about the itchio bundles we put together for #PrideBookFair.

I put a lot of time into organizing these with Cara Nox, gathering 100+ authors and creating both a big bundle and smaller one, ALL QUEER BOOKS.
