I am a human author telling human stories to other humans. Supporting human artists to illustrate these human stories is the only logical and ethical choice.

@thistlearts is my cover artist. He did incredible paintings for Mr Warren's Profession, Oak King Holly King, Tales from Blackthorn Briar, and Fiorenzo.

@lauravian_arts designed adorable stickers for Oak King Holly King. (Available now in my etsy - and perhaps soon, a Kickstarter?)

Collaborating with human artists is a joy and a dream.

AI is unethical, illegal, and dangerous theft from real human beings. No excuses.

(And thank you to @noahhawthorneauthor for inspiring this post!)

Maddox and Diego from the Stars and the Stage, drawn by @thistlearts

Guess what's coming out NEXT WEEK?!

(Hint: it's the new prequel novella for the Guides for Dating Vampires series, the Stars and the Stage!)

While we're waiting for the third main series book, I'm so excited to bring you this wonderful, fierce second chance couple who comes back together like a thousand fireworks after ten years apart. For a little sneak peak at who they are as a couple, check out this snippet from the first chapter that shows a bit of their teenage relationship before their breakup…

Once Diego's safety had been his arms, clutching them close when they lost a lead role in drama club or holding them back when the nastier kids had insulted them for their heritage—as though many of their ancestors hadn’t lived in California longer than any of these preppy white families—with whispers that this wasn’t the time, that vengeance would be sweeter if it couldn’t be traced back to them. He had been the safe haven who’d helped them paint everything from dicks on the expensive leather of those bullies’ sports cars to the elaborate stage sets that only he and Diego truly appreciated. His were the screams that had echoed their own across the school halls and the hands that had pressed them against the lockers with every ravaging kiss, the only person who avidly agreed with them that the highs and lows of their teenage love was a thing the whole world had to play audience to. He had been the boy who never tried to tame their fire, but always managed to stoke it in a better direction. Then he’d torn that protection down in one terrible night.

(For one more week, you can still pre-order the ebook for only 99 cents!)

Reverse Bang 2024 anyone?

Does anyone here from any fandom, especially from TDJ, ever tried or willing to try reverse bang? I actually never try this and almost never searched any of this. Looks very interesting. Basically with this reverse bang you write fanfics based on the art first instead of the original (makin fanarts from the fanfics).

I'm soooo interested to try but I'm nervous bout the deadlines as I'm currently having 2 long-term commission project and 1 full body commission on progress.

So after a few weeks of my brain throwing itself off a cliff, scrabbling up the side, and then getting kicked in the face by Some Bullshit so hard that I wound up right at the bottom again I HAVE FINISHED FIORENZO by @nothwell!!

Some of you may remember me posting about Sebastian Nothwell's other books a few months ago - I read one, became obsessed, then read all the rest in like... a week. So I was SUPER EXCITED for his newest book 💖

I really enjoyed this - even if I was forced to take a break at (almost exactly) the halfway point. It's a really sweet, tender, m/m romance set in fantasy!Venice with a sprinkling of angst, HEAPS of hurt/comfort and a lot of kinky sex.

I really love the way Sebastian writes Big Feelings and people dancing around each other, and this was no exception. There IS angst, but the softness balance against that is really great.

Enzo was my fave (big man sad face squishy heart aaaaa) but both MCs were really engaging. Also at one point I thought @nothwell was about to hurt a Lovely Dog so I messaged him going >:C (the dog was fine. One of the MCs was... less so.)

I'd definitely recommend this one along with the rest of Sebastian's books, although would also recommending checking out the CWs before diving right in. There's a lot of injury/illness/gore which doesn't bother me at all (apart from the injections aaaa Fiore I feel your pain) but may be a squick for others.

(also - wonderful cover art by @thistlearts!)

hey :) do you have blogs to recommend for people who love beyond evil? or queer centred kdramas in general haha? i don’t know who to follow i’m new on tumblr and was scrolling the beyond evil and random kdramas tags and got lost to be honest

hi anon!

while there are a lot of really lovely people in the beyond evil fandom, some of the people that i'm particularly friendly with are @b1uetrees, @tiffanylamps, @l-tyrell, @ahjussy, @unrememberedskies, @hanjuwonsupporter (who all write fics/have written fics).

some really lovely beyond evil gifmakers include @thoresque, @yeo-jingoo, @baek1nho, and @juwonah.

and some beyond evil artists include @sickandspiteful, @armouries, @soonsam/@sowarumnicht, @baguettemast3r, @dusty-nao, @thistlearts, @rosesotheracc, and @shhhsoftnwet!

and of course, some other beyond evil people that i'm friendly with/have chatted with on twitter before they migrated over here: @absentomnipresent, @feministdongsik, @moonshalf, @srabaskerville, @urheartsamess, @dulcetpill, @kseniyagreen, @iamatrueidiot, @juwonton, and i'm sure so many others that i might have missed (I'M SO SORRY IF I MISSED ANYONE IT DOESN'T MEAN I LIKE YOU LESS!!!!! JUST THAT I HAVE LOST TRACK OF PEOPLE I FOLLOW!!)

#answered #anon #ofc also people i've tagged feel free to tag or shout out others as well #i know there are def many many many more people involved in fandom but i just #have not been quite as active on any social media lately OOPS

[goodomenslady]

Do you happen to have any blog recs for good omens that are not top!or dom!aziraphale? Or at the least doesn’t push the weak crowley stuff? I just don’t see it personally. I feel a little alone in this fandom since the show aired :(

No pressure! I know that’s a big ask so I totally understand if you don’t feel like doing a rec post and no hate on people who like that stuff <3

No problem! Here are some blogs that in my experience are pro-top Crowley. I'll try to put the more active blogs at the top

twilightcitysky, maria7potter, just-an-angel-and-his-demon, hasturswig, nikkiscarlet, feraltuxedo, mirjam-writes, angeletombee, ineffable-houseplants, disaster-zone-jones, nuzzo208, lycorisdreams, starlightdreamerstar, lazulibundtcake, ineffablebookgirl, janara7, unproblematicme, relativegarnet-echo

Here are some blogs that don't have much GO stuff currently, or aren't very active right now, but you can go through their archives for fantastic art and posts (with season two coming up, I expect some of these blogs to become more lively):

tabbystardust, itsjustineffable, fanlan1, mimsynims, sparkle-in-the-stars, shay-moonsilk, topcrowley, celpheres, aivelin, project-fandom-leap, yoites-good-omens-blog, chrizwho, thistlearts

So excited to finally show you the gorgeous cover for Fiorenzo!

@thistlearts did an incredible job bringing Fiore and Enzo to life, and I'm so glad you can meet them at last!

FIORENZO is available for pre-order now and will release this September 30th.

Blurb:

Fiore has a plan. Find a wealthy elderly gentleman, delight him until the end of his days, and retire on the resulting inheritance. It’s the best outcome a low-born courtesan in the city of Halcyon can hope for. And it seems a perfect scheme… until a mysterious masked man upends it. Banished from university after a disastrous duel, Enzo wanders the city searching for scraps of the affection he’s lost. His public mask conceals private agonies. A single night in the company of a courtesan, however, balms his wounded heart, and he finds himself returning again and again to Fiore, revealing more of himself than he’s ever dared before. Furthermore, and more astonishing still, Fiore finds he returns Enzo’s affections. But while Fiore wears no mask, he nonetheless has secrets of his own. And when the ghosts of their pasts return to haunt them, only the bond of trust between them will carry them through.

~

Fiorenzo is a queer fantasy-of-manners romance featuring secret identities, hurt/comfort, and a happily-ever-after.

Bite Your Neighbor cover reveal!

I'm so excited to share this amazing cover, illustrated by @thistlearts​ with typography by Houda Belgharbi. I went into the cover creation process wanting a very specific feel for this ebook and paperback cover, and how it all came together blew me out of the park.

How does one entrap a vampire? Offer to let them feed on you, of course. But Wesley underestimates how good the bite will feel, and how easily the handsome predator’s sweet, shy nature will make him doubt all his previous goals…

 Slow-burn M/M romance

 Vampire x human

 Oblivious pining

 Disasters to lover

 Bite Kink

If you noticed that this cover is only for ebook and paperback, that's because there will likely be a separate hardcover version announced at a later date, along with audiobooks! (Don't wait to buy it though, because whether these versions come out depends on how well the ebooks and paperbacks do.)

PRE-ORDER EBOOK!

#bite your neighbor #writeblr #queer romance #queer fantasy #lgbt books #gay romance #gay vampires #mm fic #cover reveal #the paperback will be out on the 6th you just can't per-order it #like Odder Still this ebook is only on amazon but if that means you can't buy it then please message me!!!!!!
