I have a substack
There is nothing there yet. Once I have some time, I'll be uploading some literary essays about some Indie books I loved (Exclusively Indie, there's many trad pub works I love, but they get a lot of attention already)

An aro-ace trans goblin sorceress and her flirty butch half orc cousin get hired to escort a cursed elf to the other end of the world.
Unfortunately there's also a war between elves and dragons going on, for some added stress.

I think I would pass away if someone made fanfiction of the media I made/worked on.
Creativity is so intrinsically human, and to INSPIRE someone else? Ough my heart wouldn't survive. I'd cry and be crushed by the love of community.

I haven't shared much about my "zombie" novel I've been working on & off on, but I think my exposition describing them & their animal-like behavior (& the fact I write them like sexual predators cause they're a metaphor for that trauma) makes the horror stand out.

A lot of things anatagonise Wolfgang. You could say the world anatagonises him, Victorian era society wasn't made for people like him (neurodivergent, trans, etc.)
But most predominantly it would be Warren, his partner/mentor/??? who repeatedly reinforces the worst things he thinks about himself

Constant juxtaposition.
Even in more domestic or calm moments, still use a word or phrase a bit too violent, intense, or jarring for a calm situation. Make the discomfort and unease linger around no matter where the protagonist goes.

Illusions of comfort and safety. Refusing to move from something because you believe it's the easier outcome/easier way to live, even if it's hurting you.

Example: a haunted house violates the assumption that we are alone in our homes.
