Updates-a-go-go!
I return from my convalescence at my mom's following my top surgery! (I'm doing great. Everything is healing well and my grafts took, in case you wanted to know.) Now I've got all my fab updates to give you.
Discomfiture:
Hugo get's his casts off and the boys return to Corona.
Chemistry: Law and Chaos
(I very nearly typed law and chairs and now I'm wondering what that shit'd be about.) Nuru and Thomas finally perfect their scrying spell and after teaching it to Hugo, the boys touch base with the fam.
And Scientia Aeterna
Arvin, Olric, Pi'loc, and Pyotr arrive at Pyotr's home, where Olric remembers the world he came from and everyone gets to relax.

"My life was extraordinarily lacking in all sense of reality, as if I were watching a different me playing various characters within a mirage. I wanted to be kicked out into reality so badly…"

I'm gonna be real folks! It's been a rough year, I've not grown nearly as much as I needed to pay my bills. This means I have to take time away from writing and producing to do freelance work which is draining and inconsistent.
Please please please consider joining my patreon, I have a $1 tier which means if miraculously 500 people signed up to support me for $12/year I'd be breaking even on my finances every month.
Here's a link to my linktree which connects not only to my patreon, but to my beta/sensitivity reading services, my merch, and where to buy my novella.
Thanks for reading, I love you.
Image description beneath the cut.
[Image Description: Four images on a rainbow spectrum background with large blocky retro colorful graphics, the text reads on picture one "On this the last day of pride 2022 how about helping a queer creator find financial stability in their art". On picture two there is a selfie of a nonbinary person flashing the peace sign and the words "bisexual nonbinary hot mess". On picture three the text reads "I need $500 more/month to pay my bills. Click the linktree in my bio and head to my patreon where I create my space western podcast: Tales From The Ridge. I have a $1/month tier, that's $12 for a whole year of content". Image Four reads "Thanks, I love you!". End Image Description]

Hey guys, I hate doing this, but once again (through no fault of his own) our roommate is short for rent and we're already struggling. All of my husband's overtime is once again going to have to go towards rent instead of building up our dwindling bank account.
I currently have my [writing commissions open] with three slots available at a time just to keep me from getting overwhelmed. If you're at all interested I charge $1/100 words with a 1k ($10) word minimum and 5k ($50) max. All completely original content. Very little is off the table in terms of content (just obvious stuff like pedophilia, bestiality, and my very few kink related squicks). You can fill out the form on the linked post or email/DM me if you're interested. I also accept tips on all of my [existing works] here on Tumblr if you feel like any of it is worth it.
I also know a lot of y'all are in the same boat, but even a reblog for this or my commission post would be immensely appreciated.

Snow
The sun makes the snow sparkle
While slowly killing it
A beautiful, tragic, passionate death
I sit down on my bed, per usual
Recalling a fact I learned while watching Atypical
(I never got past the first episode)
Snow absorbs sound
Maybe that’s why things turned south in the winter
We couldn’t hear each other
Or at least, they didn’t hear me
No one hears me
And if they do, they don’t listen
They don’t understand
But I can’t blame winter, or the snow
Whatever weather, I get ignored
I am constantly camouflaged
So I absorb my own sound
I am the snow
People like me when they want to play but when they’re done, 
I’m useless.
I am the snow
Everyone else is the sun, on a day with clear skies
Everyone makes me happy, but they’re all slowly killing me

Yes very Inclusive
Tumblr media
Why is it that when I read 'LGBTQ+ friendly' posts it's always centred towards skinny rose lipped girls who occasionally send a slight wink at another girl like-
now no hate on people who are like that but COME ON I wanna smash a cute girl too than make out with an adorable guy while also wearing something other than a skirt and no top 😭🤚

Listen, I'm not the type to look for homoeroticism in every single male duo in media. Not everyone swings that way.
But those two?
I smell the fruitiest of fruit, your honor.

I grew up as the weird (autistic) goth kid who spent a lot of time in graveyards. I didn’t have friends. So I invented them. That’s why I’m an author, I think. I crafted worlds full of wondrous diversity, quirky characters, peculiar souls. I knitted them into families. I often felt at home when I read; the work of Neil Gaiman, of Terry Pratchett, of Ursula Le Guin, of Terry Brooks… My fiction is meant to be participatory too. When you read it, you should feel like you came home and friends were waiting to greet you.
Maybe in a really cool graveyard—like this one at Scone Castle.

"Every once in a while I’d meet people who got me and we’d hit it off. But even so, what good did it do me? Joining the group meant I’d either be the one who mixed things up or I’d get lost in the jumble. In reality I’d always be relegated to the margins."

First book I read in 2023 and so happy about that! Flirty, slow burn with some queer self discovery and the best friendship dynamics.

Do you read fanfiction? Are you queer? Well then I’ve got the perfect survey for you!
Hi! I’m a student writing a research paper on the prevalence of queer couples and lgbtq+ representation in fanfiction and need participants for my survey. This project will be entered in a national (Very prestigious) research competition and will be judged by an academic jury. The more answers I get on this survey, the more accurate my research will be, so I'd really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer! 
https://forms.gle/8sae8vzQRERAzYiX8
Update: The survey is currently being redone! You can find the reasoning behind this (and other FAQ) here [https://at.tumblr.com/mariathechosen1/queer-participation-and-representation-in/i689fhq3b2vn] and the new survey here: https://forms.gle/Tcoafs9dU627PNcn8
Here are some reasons to partcicipate: 
Science and stuff
Force a highly prestigious academic jury to read more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction 
Better my chances of winning real-life money by writing more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction
Help expand a largely ignored academic field (fandom studies)
It’ll only take like 8 minutes (5 minutes if you’re quick)
Uhhmmm…
Please?
The only requirement is that you have some sort of experience with fanfiction or fan works (Whether that be writing or reading). You do not have to be queer to participate and all answers are completely anonymous
Reblogs are appreciated!
