Introductory post

Web developer by day, coding for over 50 years.

The rest of the time I'm a writer of fantasy, SF, Steampunk and Erotica stories mostly with queer MCs.

As a hobby I like to create 3D renders using DazStudio. (Example below.)

I have no time for bigots of any type.

This Yule why not skip the generic and give the gift of art, book, music or live experience from a small indie creator!

They are made with heart, soul and skill and they are loads of fun!

Fresh(ish) from a panel at World Fantasycon discussing all things Discworld, @rickandwrite.bsky.social reflects on the legacy of Sir Terry Pratchett’s most famous works, and why fans are still discovering new things in well-worn paperback copies.

All the holiday sale art! -> everydayoriginal.com/winter-sale/
Framed watercolor painting on a bed of green leaves and dark red mums. The fox is orange and peering at the viewer curiously. Green roots surround him. Two white rabbits with extra ears. They're perched on curling purple and green roots. THe painting is framed in brown wood and staged on top of violets outside Large painting of a green hill woman looking down at a girl in a red dress in her hands. She's the size of a mountain. Framed in wood, staged on top of oak leaves and fern. Teal raven holding a teal feather in his beak, lowering it into a calm pool of water. Green and blue roots grow around him. The painting is framed in black, sitting on top of green fern like plants.

Daily bunny no.3163 adopts a child
A bunny comes across a baby dragon, which has just hatched from a large blue egg. The dragon lets out a puff of flame, perhaps by accident, and the bunny looks on cautiously.

'The best conspiracy books of 2025' for @theguardian.com
The best conspiracy books of 2025 This is too big for the mainstream media, so a network of independent thinkers do their own research. They never meet and communicate only via chalk marks on lampposts. The Guardian’s conspiracy correspondent (who even the editor has never met) compiles the list with red string on the wall of a secure off-site facility. Such incendiarymaterial cannot be published openly, so it is encrypted, minituarised, and hidden by a tame printer inside one of the full stops in today's newspaper. If you are reading this, you have already been compromised: leave at once, take nothing and live under an assumed name until further notice.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Green is looking at Blue, who is sulking, with his back towards Green. Green: ...Are you mad at me? Blue: No. Green: Are you mad at something else? Blue: A little bit, yes. Green: Do you want to talk? Can I help in any way? Blue: No, and no. I'm okay. Satisfied with the answers, Green turns to his other side, and both foxes close their eyes to sleep. Green: Okay then. Goodnight. Blue: Goodnight.

I made this.

It’s for anyone who wants to say F*ck You to imposter syndrome.

It’s about following your heart when the whole world stands in your way.

Its funny.
And it’s true.

Daily bunny no.3162 is preparing to charge
Small bunnies are having a snowball fight. Two 'teams' are facing each other from behind opposite chest-height walls made of snow. The group closest to us, outnumbered, is being hit with volleys of snowballs. However, one bunny gestures towards the opposing side, rallying his friends to fight back
