Skye

Queer writer, artist, and cosplayer. Author of The Hunter's Trial, and soon to be more books. I like Star Wars and cats and maritime history. My writing features trans characters in fantasy worlds, with lots of trauma (usually not gender related) thehunterstrial.carrd.co pfp by @jaz-art of my character Tio

Introduction/My Projects

Hi I’m Skye and I write stuff. I’m not a huge fan of social media anymore or putting myself out there online so hopefully updating this tumblr every now and then puts my books out there and keeps people entertained. I mostly write fantasy, gay stuff, neurodivergent stuff, and I have a running goal of doing a different gendery thing in every story

Out now:

The Hunter’s Trial, a young adult fantasy novel about a prince trying to save his best friend.

After weeks of searching, Prince Tio DeSadia has found the last known location of his lifelong friend Bastien Eleri. On the quest to bring him home, Tio faces off with old enemies, makes new friends in the unlikeliest of places, and discovers the terrible secret lurking just beneath the largest city in the world.

But nothing compares to the question facing the young prince at the end of this long, twisted road: if he succeeds in finding Bastien, will either of them be welcome back home? After all, the reason Bastien went missing in the first place was his exile.

you actually don't have to justify why your characters are fat. they can just be fat because they're hot

Let’s play Writer’s Would You Ever

Send me an ask that says “Would you ever write…” and continue the sentence.

I’ll respond with yes or no and give an explanation as to why if I want to.

When y’all are writing is there ever a point when you’re like “if someone does not lose their mind over this specific bit right here then what am I even doing?”

You need to make art that nobody else likes. You need to make art that speaks to you alone. You need to cradle a serpent that eats its own tail and you need to love it until it loves you back

big believer that writing doesn't always have to be writing. sometimes writing is going for a walk. sometimes writing is rehearsing your characters' dialogue in the shower. sometimes writing is putting a song on loop and staring at the carpet. sometimes you need to hang out with your story instead of writing it

[dduane]

This. And these. All of these.
