2025 was easily the worst year of my adult life and I'm glad to be rid of it. That's really all I have to say on the matter of New Years. 🤷‍♀️

ATTN EDITORS & AUTHORS: If you published original short SF/F/H this year that engages with themes of nature, climate & animals (pets included!), send it our way for consideration in The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction ✨ We also accept collections & anthos (stories are considered individually).

“Princess”

Forest Exiles Saga--a breakneck urban fantasy thriller series featuring the modern-day remnant of an ancient clan of werecats, torn apart as militaries on three continents vie to exploit their deadly talents. Ebooks and paperbacks now widely available worldwide! books2read.com/rl/forest-ex...

I got injured at work (cat bit my good hand and gave me pasturella...I needed minor surgery to drain the massive abscess) so anyone waiting on story edits for the anthology I'm on will have to wait until next weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience lol.

My new car also triggers my cute aggression, I look at it and I'm like "aaaaAAAARG YOU'RE SO FUCKING CUTE, I WANNA BITE YOU!!!! *gnaws the hood and breaks my teeth*"

Howdy, long time no see! I *still* lack internet at home, so I can only get on when I'm at a relatives house or at work. No eta because I am now down over 11k between total vehicular failure & my youngest cat needing a malignant tumor removed from his face.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

"He Came Starving to the Altar" by @furryfootage.bsky.social now free to read online! "He was her murderer, but he was also her husband, and it was his duty to convey her bones to the Brazier of Rites and burn them so her spirit could enter the Field of Reeds." plotthoundmag.com/he-came-star...

Six more days to get your work off to Plott Hound Magazine (that's us!) for consideration. We have a Moksha portal accepting short stories, flash fiction, poetry, and also pitches for non-fiction essays. You got this! plotthound.moksha.io/publication/...

I still have no internet (mooching from a friend so I can review some slush today) but once I have it back permanently I will bring a bunch of art and some very, VERY silly irl pictures none of you are prepared for. 😂

Though I haven't had a chance to post my reviews of the Zyearth books on Goodreads (yet), I can confirm these books are SUPER fun and you should definitely check them out, especially if you enjoy action, science fantasy, and unique worldbuilding!

I don't have internet right now friends, I promise I'm ok and not dead lmfao!!! (I have internet now because I'm mooching off my mom for an afternoon.)

When the final book of a trilogy you're low-key obsessed with rn is out for delivery and you feel like an obnoxious little dog dancing and slobbering as your owner waves a treat in your face. 😂

Sorry for being slow on art I owe, Zero was diagnosed with advanced kidney failure last week and I haven't mentally handled it well. I'll be back to Doing Things again soon. (Have some scrungly old man tax photos lol)

I desperately, intensely, /starvingly/ desire a physical copy of that cursed Age of Scorpius book and it's KILLING me that it's so hard to find one. 🤣

Finally starting to roll out my AF pieces. I should have two more ready by tonight, and the final two tomorrow. >:3 For Wintermewart & Short-tale.

ArtFight Attack on @anastasiaspinet.bsky.social, of her character Jet! This artwork depicts a cute scene from her novel Quicksilver.

A poem I wrote in memoriam of friend groups that I've - either accidentally or unaware - faded away from.

I think it's very amusing that even people I absolutely detest and who I normally don't share a single important value with are up in arms about the payment processer fiasco. Truly an "everyone disliked that" moment.

For those creators struggling right now with takedowns and delistings on other platforms, we would love to talk to you about hosting your digital content on our platform! We offer distribution and sales for digital products, including 18+. Contact (at)RexFenris on Telegram/Discord for info/questions

I spent literal H O U R S reading TV Tropes as a teen (kinda fun that it's been around that long ngl) and I hope whoever made Quicksilver its page on there has all their wishes & dreams come true lol, the 14 year-old inside of me is losing her miiiiind. 💖💖💖 tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

Oof, after 2 days of work I combined and organized ALL of my furry literature collection into one shelf (and they just barely all fit at that!). My only regret is my camera can't take a more hi-res picture so you can easily play "@ me if you see yourself" lol.

And awwaaaay we go at Fur-eh!

TF Publishing is coming soon to print! On August 17th, all three of our announced titles will be available in paperback formats! Dragon's Soul, Chronicles of Elancia: Symphony of Shifting Tides, and Dr Bactrian and the Cursed Collar are now open for pre-orders on the TF Publishing website!

Rare author selfie post because I was at a concert and it's uncommon for me to be dressed like anything other than an actual forest goblin straight outta the bog. 🤣

I'm dumb, my DM's should be fixed now. 😂

I'm also working on ANOTHER anthology for AFP, but it's 18+ so I won't be posting about it here (from here on out "Anastasia Spinet" is a purely G to R penname). If you're interested in updates on that or in possibly participating, DM me for my 18+ account.

At long last, it's finally here! Wild Hearts, AFP's furry lesbian romance anthology, is now available for purchase. If you're in the mood for character- & story-driven F/F romance (all filtered through an anthropomorphic lens) you won't want to miss this one. :3 www.amazon.com/Wild-Hearts-...

Huehuehue one more day and it's time for gay. >:3

I have a story coming out in Armoured Fox Press's new F/F Anthology, Wild Hearts! (It comes out July 1st!) Check out my post for a peek at my story, "The Spirit of Christmas!"

artfight.net/~Emperor Obligatory ArtFight link, though I do not know how much time I will have this year to dedicate to it. (I just took on another editing project, so I'm busy busy lol.)

According to author @leilarae.bsky.social, The Elancia Chronicles are for "queer depressed people in their 20s and 30s who had been through hell (and also played way too many JRPGs.)" If this sounds like you, why not see what all the fuss is about? Book 1 available now! www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9PBV6P2

A plea for any of those who've read my books! A rating and/or review on your favourite review site (e.g. Goodreads, StoryGraph, Amazon) does wonders for us indie writers. So please, if you feel so inclined, do so! It's one of the few venues we have to get noticed. :)

I'm high-key in love with making my own pin brooches from repurposed bits of broken vintage jewelry. (Except for the teeny beads on the bottom right...those came from Michael's lol.)

Today is the last day for Plott Hound's summer submission period! Slip those animal stories, poems and essay pitches through the dog door before midnight MST.
