Anyone up for beta-reading a Lovecraftiana erasure poetry project? The manuscript is fairly short, a little over 5,000 words.
Slide into my DMs and I'll share the deets. 👀

The campaign to fund Monsterotica has 25 hours left! We've hit our funding goal, and we're $1300 from our first stretch goal - which will get many backers an extra art print, and get all our authors a raise doubling their earnings.
I'd love help spreading the word!!

🧵 UPDATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY:
Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm still barely holding on. Some people tried to get me to start a fundraiser, but that felt weird, so I thought maybe if I was contributing something? So I started making shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

ALL you have to do is just not use it, tell these companies you aren't using it, and make fun of people who do. We need a mass collective effort to make genAI extremely uncool, lame, embarrassing, cringe. Everyone needs to react to it with a MOUNTAIN of hostility until they run out of steam.

Fish's father adopted him & his siblings for the sole purpose of being foot soldiers in his magical war.
Fish ran away at age 11 & tried to forge a new life & identity of his own. But his father is still on the throne... and his siblings who didn't run away now have it out for him 🔥

I FINISHED A BRAND NEW SHORT STORY AHHHHHHH
"The elder race had planted these flowers and propagated them by magical means, before departing this forest."
It's a fantasy story about the damaging colonial idea of "conserved" land never including the native peoples who actually lived on it.

Forest of the Morning is based (loosely) on our 17th century, so it's horses & sailing boats all the way.
EXCEPT they have magical pterodactyls living in this world (Quetzalcoatlus sp.) so of course Fish gets to bond with one & can go much longer distances 🤩
