Happy Summer Solstice ☀️

The basic premise of my Modern BotW AU fanfic novel Malice is that Zelda is romanced by one of the Blight Ganons. It's taken a human form for plot-related reasons, and it retains some of the memories and personality of the original Ganondorf, but it's still a big messy scary monster.

While editing An Unfound Door, I wanted to reference how I wrote the Blight Ganon in the first four chapters of Malice, when it's almost completely inhuman. I thought this would be a chore, but I got sucked into the story and ended up reading 50k words of it last night.

The novel is surprisingly good, and that's distressing. I'm afraid that I might have been a much better writer in 2021. It's possible that I might have been a better artist, too. Goddamn it.

Oh no he's hot. 😳

I’m focusing on An Unfound Door right now, but I still daydream about The Demon King all the time. If you thought I was done with this asshole, you would be incorrect.

I love words, but I'm a visually oriented person at heart. I’ve never been able to get a handle on the character Fhiad from An Unfound Door, partially because I have no idea what he looks like.

Okay! I'm ready to begin work on a new short horror fiction zine, which I've decided to call "Terrible People." The most difficult part of this process is creating the cover. I want to commission an artist I admire but have never worked with before, so I made a sketch of how I envision the cover...

On one hand, the Breath of the Wild Coffeeshop AU I wrote is very silly. On the other hand, I am now extremely interested in the idea of Ganondorf committing high-level white collar crimes.

I go back and forth on the Wind Waker Ganon design. On one hand, it works extremely well in the context of the distinctive graphic style of the game. On the other hand, it's a jarring mix of incongruous elements, and the green skin and hook nose have got to go.

I'm posting this here because I don't know if I'll ever return to it. I'm swiftly moving away from an anime style, but I'm not sure how I feel about a realistic style either.

I just love them so much.



It would be really fun to write a Demon King graphic novel, but like. How do I put this.

I am nothing and no one, and I'm also really shy and get burned out easily by social media. I would love to work with an artist on a longer project, but I would also hate to be the person the artist has to work with, if that makes sense. I don't want to inflict myself on anyone.

There's also the question of funding, which is complicated, and I'm deathly afraid of making an artist feel like I'm taking advantage of them.

But still. It would be really fun to write a Demon King graphic novel.

I finished and polished the first two chapters of An Unfound Door, and I've got a rough draft of the third. These three chapters total about 9k words, which is a solid beginning. I'm just about the slowest writer in the world, so this is a tidy accomplishment for me.

I also have the two character illustrations!
