Writeblr/Artblr Introduction

Hello! Some of you may vaguely remember me, and to those, HI I'M BACK WOOOOO

About me

I write fantasy I draw primarily my OCs, sometimes mutuals' or friends' OCs, and the very occasional piece of fanart chronically ill I am mildly (read: very) obsessed with my OCs and also several other fictional characters. Fixations vary but are always games and books, rarely shows/movies cat parent

Commissions are closed for the summer, will reopen in September.

I am generally open for sketch commissions at all times outside of Summer Break (June 15th-September 1st), please feel free to email me about them (and larger projects) at [email protected]

Also, I have a website if you want to see some of the art I post here in better resolution.

There is also a Ko-fi if you just wanna thoss a coin to your witcher this weird little cave goblin. You can also get cheap, quick sketch commissions through it.

You can also buy stickers I designed through Redbubble!

I will reblog *everything* with the 'dreaming goblin reblogs' tag. There's also the 'dreaming goblin yaps' tag for, well, yapping, and my art tag is 'dreaming goblin draws', on tumblr and my other social media (bluesky and Instagram).

Reblog with a little update about commissions and sticker designs

Hiya! How have you been

Hi!! Been busy with art, writing/editing and beta-reading. so far the summer has been mostly cool and rainy, so no heat exhaustion/sensory overload 🎉

I am however annoyed at our internet provider. Their slowness means I'll still be stuck in the oven that is my current room when the next heatwave hits next week, instead of being on the ground floor and not having to take stairs for every little thing

I hope you've been doing alright despite the impending-holiday-anxiety! //hugs

[manorofshepard]

Im actually okay now! I'm more excited than anything and the packing is done

What exactly have you been working on, like what part in your wip?

[dreaming-goblin]

I'm switching between editing book 1 and drafting book 2 of a German project, which I'm currently a bit hesitant to talk about. It's one I'll query and try the tradpub route for, but it's the one that involves these characters. Fantasy, but, somehow, still without elves. I *have* several projects on ice that involve elvesm but, despite being a professional and lifelong elf enjoyer, I'm working on none of them lmao

[manorofshepard]

Thats so real though, at least you know you have plenty to do

[dreaming-goblin]

I will never run out of things to work on, even when my brain stops throwing plot ideas at me (which it keeps doing, despite my best efforts to stay focuses xD)

Book Announcement for July's Book Club!

The votes are in, and for July we'll be reading...... 🥁🥁🥁

The Door Into Fire by tumblr's very own @dduane

Herewiss, Prince of the Brightwood, is the only man in centuries to possess the Power of the Flame, but he cannot use or control it, not even to help his dearest friend, Freelorn, the exiled Prince of Arlen. But Herewiss does have a talent for sorcery, and, aided by the enigmatic creature Sunspark, he is able to rout the armies besieging Freelorn. Now Herewiss faces a devastating choice. With or without the Power, he knows his time is running out. Shall he join Freelorn in his fight to regain his kingdom? Or shall he seek out the ancient castle where doors lead to other worlds, worlds Sunspark has hinted at, perhaps even the door that would teach him to control the Power…

Read at your own pace and come join us at Little Blue Bakehouse on July 28th to talk about it! (And don't miss June 30th when we'll be talking about I'll Make a Spectacle of You by Beatrice Winifred Iker)

P.S. I think I saw the ebook is on a mega sale right now for Pride month, so you should definitely jump on that and go buy directly from the author and support her amazing work either way.

[dduane]

Aww, thanks, folks! ...It's my very first book, so if it's a little rough around the edges, well, please forgive me. 😅

(TDIFire is indeed in the Pride Package at Ebooks Direct, but those interested can pick it up as a standalone here.)

[dilfosaur]

hey guys- i’m very sad to share the news that i am no longer a part of drawfee going forward. you’ll keep seeing me around as i move on to new things! but please understand the privacy and difficulty around the matter.

thank you everyone for many fun years, and for your continued support going forward 🫶

small pinned update in preparation for book yelling

[buttpoems]

[dduane]

...Have to snicker a little when, in order to fit the fifth member of the core marriage into the shot, I have to stick him half a mile away...

Anyway. This is just to let everybody know that for Pride Month of 2026, the Ebooks Direct Pride Package has been really ridiculously discounted.

...From the product page:

This package contains all our Middle Kingdoms material—some of the first LGBTQ-representing epic fantasy in the 20th-century fantasy field, now continuing into the 21st. It also contains the matter-of-fact exit from the (contextual) closet of two of the best-loved characters in the Young Wizards universe—Advisory wizards Tom Swale and Carl Romeo, on their first canonically-"out" venture as a couple. The main part of the collection spans more than forty years, from the publication of Diane Duane's two-time Astounding Award finalist The Door Into Fire, first published in 1979, through its main-sequence sequels (both also Gaylaxic Spectrum Awards Hall of Fame winners) The Door Into Shadow and The Door Into Sunset, to 2018's and 2019's interstitial Tales of the Five novels, The Levin-Gad and The Landlady. The collection also includes such otherwise hard to find short works as Lior and the Sea and the two current volumes of the "Sirronde's World" group, The Span and Parting Gifts.* And finally, it also includes the Middle Kingdoms novelette Overdue (Tales of the Middle Kingdoms #2), and the short Young Wizards work Owl Be Home For Christmas.

All that for $19.99? Seriously, I need my head felt. So please go validate my mental state by buying the package. ...And happy Pride!

(Meanwhile, a project for the course of the month is to put all the queer, bi, and/or ace characters in my various series into that shot. That bridge should be a little more crowded by the time I'm done...) 😏

(And the usual sorrowful reminder: With regret, we must remind any UK viewers of this product that, due to Brexit, we can no longer sell ebooks directly into the UK. Our apologies.)

GUESS WHAT IT'S COVER REVEAL TIME

Wolventraum, a fantasy novella written by me entirely, including edits, including cover, including formatting and associated temporary mental breakdowns!

COMING SOON TO ONLINE STORES EXCEPT AMAZON BECAUSE FUCK THAT COMPANY

Professional monster hunter Reaper needs to get to Marthburg for a spot of medical treatment. But instead of the kingdom’s capital, they find a ruin. A thrall ambush on the road was just the beginning. The vampires have started an offensive to conquer humanity.

In the ruined city, Reaper finds a diary and its echo: the ghost Vivi, who has a final wish Reaper is willing to fulfil. They aren’t alone, either. Their best friend and fellow monster hunter Lucie joins them despite her reservations about the village of werewolves they’re headed towards.

Little do they know they're about to forge the bonds that will put an end to the vampire threat.

With Vivi and her werewolf husband at their side, Reaper and Lucie take the fight to the vampires, and to the traitors in their own ranks.

Sometimes I wish life was less full of bullshit so I could make more time for the marketing side, but alas, it is what it is. It's currently awaiting manual approval by tolino media. I will yell in another post when it's officially out. The site was wigging out on me so I couldn't set a pre-order period, but hey, Digitalisierung and all that.

Also if you hear distant screaming: I somehow in all my edits missed a single typo IN THE BLURB don't mind me while I crumble to dust from shame. Bring me a steamroller and flatten me into 2D.

It is a very deliberate decision to not put it on amazon, even if that theoretically means fewer sales. I'd rather try to stick to my moral and ethical prinicples, thank you.

[dreaming-goblin]

*once again shows this to my moots like a crayon drawing* does this also fit on the fridge

@lurakha @bardic-tales @verba-writing @caxycreations @kitcatling

@pheita @yumefoxselfship @the-starlight-writer @manorofshepard

rest assured there will be YELLING and edits to my pinned post when this firstborn book baby gets approved. no clue how long that'll take but hey, after all the Formatting Fuckery it was a painless process.
