“We are thrilled with the support – and with Metallica demonstrating people from all walks of life can support grassroots feminist care and advocacy,” Centre Manager Maia Hall said.

Always a slightly terrifying feeling.

Sometimes it's annoying being on a different timezone to everyone else in other parts of the world. This is me every morning!

My partner & I are currently trying to claw our way out of a debt hole that keeps getting bigger, and to be honest I don't know how we're going to get out. Any shares or sales appreciated, as my income as an author has helped me pay my minimum cc payment the last year books2read.com/u/boB9YL

#Novmemeber 20 In my WIP The Kings Raven.

Great set of questions Eryn! Thanks for hosting! Giving a shout out to @chaoticauthor.online for starting this weekly madness! He’s a legend so go check out his work! And check out my pinned post for my Dark England series if you like supernatural thrillers! #HorrorWritersChat

My Novels "The Change" and "The Last Summer" both came out this year and I'm extremely proud of both of them. bookshop.org/p/books/the-... & bookshop.org/p/books/the-... Latest release just debuted yesterday, which isn't horror but IS awesome bookshop.org/p/books/wher... #HorrorWritersChat

#Horrorwriterschat Q2: These questions are so good!! I don't tend to work off archetypes at a conscious level though, so my answer probably isn't super interesting. I do tend to have a thing for writing very outwardly austere men who are aesthetically effete (more Vincent Price than Chris Pratt)

#HorrorWritersChat It seems only right to share one of my male first-person stories - so here is Tea with Mrs. Hindley. www.patreon.com/posts/134293...

#HorrorWritersChat. I guess that what scares my characters (male and female) most is finding that they are not up to the task... horribly and bloody death aside. Also, my characters often get exactly what they want, in the most twisted way possible. But that's life, isn't it?

It depends on the character. For Andy in LWF, his greatest fear is his sister Alice getting hurt as a consequence of his actions. Again. For Mr. Miller, one of the antagonists, his biggest fear is loss of control. #HorrorWritersChat

What scares my male characters the most is loss. Regardless of their alignment, fear of loss directs their actions: + Loss of face amongst male peers/the powerful means one holds on to power at any cost. + Fear of losing loved ones means another will go feral to protect them. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q4: How fragile we really are. A major flaw with stoics, myself included, is we bottle things up. Sometimes it isn't about protecting others, sometimes all the hurt inside just needs to be addressed. No iron hard exterior can stop the pressure from building. It's scary to admit.

I guess, and this is very stereotypical of masculinity, most of them fear being seen as weak. From obsessed stalkers to ruthless lawyers to a wannabe Hitler and his doubting son,* they all fear being perceived as weak. #HorrorWritersChat *Don't worry, the neo-Nazis get what's coming to them.

People see “horror girl,” they expect revenge on men. I’ve written one (12 dancing princesses cult story!) but even then it subverted bio-essentialist feminism. Among the princesses there were trans princes forced to stifle their masculinity for the greater cause of sisterhood. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q4 As per my excerpt in Q3, what scares Trig the most is being alone. As a big strong soldier he got used for his strength and was thought of by everyone in the castle as "the brawn, not the brains". He never had a friend who listened to him and accepted all his quirks before.

#HorrorWritersChat I go all over the place with my male characters. I do like having my big strong MMC being the vulnerable one compared to Raven.

#HorrorWritersChat It's weird. Whenever I write I'm never thinking "what would a man/woman do?", I think, "What would this character do?" As such, I don't lean into or against masculinity/femininity. My idiots are what they are :D

#HorrorWritersChat Hello, I’m Gary Kruse, I write supernatural thrillers and tales of witches, vampires and human monsters. I’m not sure there’s one quality that defines the men in my books but most walk a road to hell paved with good intentions. Some are just scum though! 😂😂

Oh, an amazing question actually - the tyrannical landlord; the self-righteous hierophant; the bigoted warlord. Twisted and turned in all directions by Satan until they become Its tools, losing their souls to their unacceptable personality traits. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat I'm not sure of an exact archetype, but in my book The Assassins Raven any male character that thinks they are in Control and tries to control the women around them ends up being very wrong.

#HorrorWritersChat The Abusive Asshole. I tear them apart like popping heads off Barbie dolls. These guys get what's coming to them. One wished himself small enough to fit in a Christmas snow globe to escape the wife he was leaving high and dry. She tossed the globe into the trash compactor.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Scribbler Johnny, I write romantasy and satirical horror. My men often are very capable and painfully aware of their limits, and try to prepare as much as possible before things go off track.

I’m Ell! I write ace horror. ♠️ One thing about the men in my stories, they’re aroace. In the case of Isaac the exorcist babysitter, it saves him bc he doesn’t get tempted by incubi/succubi no matter how hard they try. In the case of Aromantic Frankenstein, kinda damns him. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q1: Hello, my name is Jacob Marsh and I write horror and supernatural thrillers. I've been lucky to have good male role models in my life, so my male heros tend to be kind, patient, and protective. They are usually a bit stoic. My villans tend towards more toxic stereotypes.

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! You know me... Oli Jacobs, producer of horrors beyond understanding... and as one of the main horrors we don't understand, men are seen at their worst in my book EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL. Well, it does deal with issues around gender, sexuality, and general order...

#HorrorWritersChat I just had some tuna on bagel sandwiches, so let's get into this. My name is Rosé Black. I write horror and horror comedy. I would say the quality that men have in my stories does both, because they survive dangerous situations, but they also keep getting into them.

#HorrorWritersChat Jez, 60, Aberdeen - kitchen sink horror - if I think about it, the men in my stories are probably best described as failures of one sort or another. While I explore male vulnerability, I don’t tend to do so from a sympathetic perspective. These failures are often monsters.

#HorrorWritersChat Being protective of the people around them. Sometimes it means they do good, sometimes it means they do evil.

In my last year of school I did not have much money to buy my BFF a birthday present. So I bought a frame and put one of my artworks in it (and cheekily signed it 😂). A week later I had lunch at her house, artwork gone from frame, photo in it instead. Now I worry about people liking my stuff.

#Novmemeber 19 I had a few titles in my head before I stuck with The Assassins Raven (which is a play on words, those that have read it will understand). I had Swords and Assassins, The Raven, but all were too easy and had been used before. It was easy for my WIP The Kings Raven to follow it.

If you're trans or broke (especially both) please sound off below or DM me for discounted tiers. I obviously want to make money, but I also know that there are a lot of you out there scrounging for rent and groceries, and I'm not gonna take away from that if i can help it

I have an art shop in addition to my book! I've got bookish stickers and prints, an "angry disabled" painting series, and some silly goofy miscellany. I'd love if it found its people! ko-fi.com/juliemarchbo...
