Yes. Yes I do. Vancouver, if you like extremely weird queer games, come to the James Black Gallery this evening, Friday, Sept. 26, and play games by some of the most indiest game designers in the Lower Mainland. (Like my game, After Work, about breaking into your coworkers’ desks.) #WeeknightWriters

A5: my first published short story, "Miracle Aisle", is out in the Autumn 2025 issue of A Coup of Owls! very excited that this is out in the world :D #weeknightwriters acoupofowls.com/2025/09/15/a...

It's Autumn here, my favorite season. My goals are (1) to finish Postmortem Justice 1: #Shield&Scalpel and submit for revisions, and (2) to draft PJ2 by Dec 13th for #FirstDraftFall with @weeknightwriters.bsky.social Am I crazy? Of course! What made you think otherwise??? #QueerPrompts

#weeknightwriters A5 - I recently had a short story published in an anthology - In a Flash Vol. 3. I've had the privilege to be included in this book with several other authors. privilege www.drivethrufiction.com/en/product/5...

Would love for my magical girl short story collection, "Stay Magical," to get some more readers!📖✨ If you enjoy Sailor Moon, K-Pop Demon Hunters or Pretty Cure, this will be for you! 😁 books2read.com/u/38wBlr #WeeknightWriters #readers #booksky

I'm actually just about done recording for this year's Ghost of Dog: the ghost story month on @thevoice.dog. If you like furry stories, scary stories, or hopefully both, please come listen! #WeeknightWriters

My poem/song “& the cryptid” was recently published at @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social As a song, it has just as much potential in the klezmer genre as the Irish Trad genre (or sean-nós if translated as Gaeilge). CW: Classism, anti-homeless discrimination, references to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic

Besides my current WIP, I’ve been working on a self indulgent AU where Theon runs a bookshop/garden nursery and Warren runs a tattoo shop called ‘Red Ink’ across the street. It’s so slice of life and mundane compared to their Through The Dark canon but it’s cute and I like it. #WeeknightWriters

I'm finishing up my novella, Last Wolves of Paris! It's a historic urban fantasy about a trans werewolf and vampire that reluctantly team up to solve a string of murders in Paris in 1842. They try very hard not to catch feelings (they fail) I should have a release date soon!

My first book, Sword of the Voivode, is coming up on a year old next month. Last I checked, its got no reviews on Goodreads or Storygraph 😭 idk if anyone who participates has even read it, but that would help me out.

A4: Make room in your life for more grace and forgiveness - both for yourself and others. It's not my line but I've said it before and I'll say it again: "life is chaos, be kind." #WeeknightWriters

A5: Oh boy, I'm not too good at this self-promo stuff. 😅 Um... If you're into slice-of-life stories, you can find my recent stuff here: thestephennicholas.substack.com I try to post something once a week and share it on my Bluesky. #WeeknightWriters
