I considered re-telling The War of the Worlds as a comic where the MC is in a sapphic relationship with her "companion". But the more I thought the more it became the story of a very different person with different events.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1/2. Talk about something you’ve retold.

Thought about this a lot and came up with nothing really.

There is one story I finished but then lost (for reasons) which I could retell, but I probably won't.

My last render of 2025.

I've modelled Tinkerbell, though you can't see her face, and I thought making a pirate angry seemed a very Tink thing to do.

If you see this, post a one-horned creature.

Created by me for a comic idea which may or may not ever happen.

You're a fan of James Thurber (1894-1961)? (I'd be surprised if you weren't.)

No, none of them in any of my books - even if they are caught up with world-breaking events.

Elona in particular, everyone keeps saying she's "the Chosen One", because of prophecies, and she tries to prove she isn't.

Is she? You'd have to read the series... taupress.com/elona

I only have "luck", and even that just once, I guess my characters just aren't that lucky.

The eponymous MC of my erotic "Veronica's Life" series has severe kyphosis (a spinal deformity).

It's her journey of discovery as she learns her disability does not define her (as she was always taught) and comes into her power.

Quote with your art with horns!

This was just a quick bit of render fun a couple of years back (oh my, nearly 4 years back).

(I did not create the assets - I did put them together in this unique way.)

As what I'm writing qualifies under the "superhero" genre (as well as a multitude of others) this could be [spoilers].

On the other hand, she doesn't get to choose.

If asked I suspect Geeta would say something like "I don't need superpowers!"

Sadly I can't because I'm on the wrong computer.

Instead here's a picture that illustrates part of the first scene.

Just to be clear: this is *not* AI, it's a 3D render using Daz3D - which I'm fairly competent at using 😎

Punk rock. Mostly the originals plus post-punk bands.

She met her current bf at a gig, her parents would not approve. Sometimes he can be a real dick.

Ditto, Lady Grey is f-ing annoying, all she wants to do is sit on me. ALL. THE. TIME.
