My prompts were “a vampire sick of how vampires are portrayed in media" & “As many 4+ syllable words as you can possibly fit into it!” If you want more nerdy paranormal songs, pls back my pilot for an audio drama about a rock band secretly solving monster-related problems: tinyurl.com/yscu375h

To celebrate reaching 66.6% on my Kickstarter for an audio drama about a rock band secretly solving monster-related problems, I took prompts for a song about the devil. Check out the annotated video!

If we hit 75% by Sunday, I'll take song prompts again. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jes...

I've seen a couple posts saying we should talk on here about what we're making so here's my current big project! These are very weird times to be writing a dystopia but hopefully it will be a cathartic read.

Saw this on my walk today. Feels like social commentary for SOMETHING, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Throwback to 2016 when I had a semi-fictional filk band about a zombie-themed running app and one of our members (Matt, who made our cover images), was cross-stitching this incredible work of art.

The app in question: zrx.app The song in question: themildredvandergrafs.bandcamp.com/track/whos-t...
