Hi, I'm Naarel, and I don't know how to promo myself! I'm a VN/IF dev guy behind Oneironverse, Passerine Hills, the Lights series and a couple of more personal works (like "i won't finish this game" or "te/ra/to/ma"). Check out my work at naarel.itch.io

or don't! I'm not your dad.

Today is Ze's birthday so I drew his vampire design for funsies (because it's been haunting my thoughts). Though he will probably not show up until at least episode 2.

Fun fact: Ze's name rhymes with slay, both kinds of which he excels at LMAO (I love him.)

Reading 2025 speculative fiction? Check out this short story, “I’m Home” by Rutendo Chidzodzo from Issue V of our anthology.

It’s now free to access on our website until December 12.

🔗 willthisbeaproblem.co.ke/2025/11/19/i...

#AfricanSFF 🪐📚💙
Quote graphic from Issue V of Will This Be A Problem? The Anthology set on a background has a textured reddish tone with decorative speech-mark elements. The text reads: Your mother’s heart almost bleeds when she sees your name, she hasn’t seen it since you were taken three years ago. It nearly brings her to tears, but she swallows her pain. She hasn’t cried for you. Not yet. She knows you will not return if she does. Her fingers caress your name, tracing each letter slowly, almost as if she were afraid to erase it. Your Gogo reminds your mother that you’re coming home soon. Attribution below: Rutendo Chidzodzo I’m Home Will This Be A Problem? The Anthology | Issue V The WTBAP logo appears at the top and a red button at the bottom reads: willthisbeaproblem.co.ke

You talking about my books, or the books of any author you love, goes exponentially further than that author talking about their own books, especially on social media where your posts can go viral

I mean. Remember Bigolas Dickolas?

FWIW: Mention books you like or you think others might like. You never know what'll happen:

I saw The Sad Bastard Cookbook here so I mentioned it on Masto (in a "in case you need this" sense). It kinda went viral (1K shares). It jumped to a high ranking on Amazon and then they got media attention.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I tested a machine learning model designed to detect NSFW content. It marked this image as unsafe, because of Tim Allen's breasts (marked in blue) and my hand-penis (marked in green)
