Writblr Intro
Hi! I'm Audrey, an autistic Columbus based author and college graduate who is hoping to be published someday. I'm a longtime tumblr lurker and reblogger, but rare poster.
I love Shakespeare, Diana Wynne Jones, Terry Pratchett, and T. Kingfisher
My roommate is a cat named Jasper.
I write about monsters, mad science, mythology, and magic
My favorite genres include fantasy, horror, and science fiction, but more specifically, gothic horror, body horror, gaslamp fantasy, absurdist fiction, fairy tales, dark fantasy, and retellings
I think fantasy should be more whimsical and sci fi should be weirder
I enjoy writing angsty, dysfunctional characters who grow for better or for worse.
Unfortunately the more I love a character the more they suffer
Road trip adventures through strange landscapes
Themes of alienation, isolation, mental health, disability, identity, self destruction, self actualization, redemption, corruption.
Monsters! Especially werewolves, shapeshifters, fae, cryptids, ghosts, and eldritch abominations.
Witches!
Mad scientists and their creations!
