special announcement time

alright everyone.

at long last, i have finished polishing my latest writing project, a horror romcom fantasy novel (94k words), and am looking for beta readers to tell me what they think of it.

but not only that...

i am also interested in beta swapping.

sooooooooo.

if you got an ongoing fanfic, if you've got a novel of your own...or any other kind of big writing project, or web comic even, that you want eyes on...dm me or send me an ask (or reply to this post, I'll reach out).

i have turned on dms and replies for this purpose.

it can be pretty much any length and any genre, about anything. i don't mind any experience level either, whether you've never written anything at all, or have been doing it for years. i can help aspiring authors (trad or indie), fanfic authors who want to participate in fan events/post to AO3, people who don't want to share their work with the public...

i'll read sci fi, fantasy, horror, historical, contemporary, romance. porn. any genre, with any audience (YA, MG, adult, whatever).

but also, you know. we don't have to swap. if you just wanna read it, that's perfectly alright too. summary here, so you can see if you'd be interested.

Warnings: Graphic violence, child death (death of an infant), self-harm (because their powers are blood-based, and they need to self harm in order to use them), implied sexual assault/incest (not graphic), animal death (a lot of it), and oh yeah, sex scenes. this is an adult romantasy. adult.

anyway.

this is a matter of personal opinion, but I think the best fantasy stories are about a journey.

I know some are like, set in one kingdom or one location or whatever, and magical stuff comes to them, but give me people going on a QUEST.

I want you Google mapping the entire realm here.

You can't be an assassin and straight.

It's too homoerotic of a profession.

What do you mean, you're hunting other men?

You're bathing in their blood and hiding your identity from the world and you have bad relationships with your parents?

You're fighting other assassins who are holding their knives to your pretty throat and hurling chairs at your head and stabbing you in the thighs? You're bleeding and dying in each other's arms? Your dying breaths are commingling and your life force is dwindling, and all you can do is clutch each other tightly as you spiral into oblivion, but at least you're not alone, in the end?

This is the queer experience.

More queer assassins. Diversity win, that man who tried to kill you is pansexual.

But if you don't, it's ok to be wrong.

you guys ever think about an assassin who's really bad at his fucking job, and he has like, literally one job.

Kill this specific person.

But he just can't fucking do it, because he's a little cringefail nerd idiot, some kind of lethal buffoon, and all he does is accidentally collateral everyone around her like some kind of murder clown?

I think about him.

I think about him a lot. I'd pray for him, but I'm the one who's fucking him over all the time, so. It'd be counterproductive.

I LOVE SCIENCE FICTION.

I LOVE FANTASY.

I LOVE HORROR.

These are my three greatest loves. I shall never love crime, grounded contemporary drama, or spy thriller cop procedural.

I want to live in another world where fucked up stuff happens, but fantastically.
