Ya like cheap ebooks? It's a great week for folks who are into that sort of thing.
"Read An Ebook Week!"
(You'd think they'd call it "indie authors hawk their wares at a discount" week, but I figure that just doesn't roll off the tongue in a festive manner.)
Anyways, all of my ebooks are half price here. Aliens, robots, gods and cyberpunk; take your pick.
Incomeless; will proofread your fics! (Or anything else.)
I'm not sure how to head this with a snazzy, attention-catching image given I'm not offering an obviously graphic service like art commissions, but let's give it a go...
Hello, I'm your friendly neighborhood disabled unemployed transgender queer on the internet. I have not posted a great amount about the details on this blog for privacy reasons, but I am currently in an untenable familial/financial living situation, which I am actively working to get out of. My primary barrier to disentangling myself from the pertinent parties is a lack of income. I've been unable to pursue traditional means of work due to being multiply disabled (slash chronically ill, slash treatment-resistant, et cetera...), but I do not qualify for SSI or unemployment, so I am stuck trying to find other ways of making money.
This is where you come in... If you'd like to help, you can:
$$ Hire me $$ to proofread your fics, essays, and more!
Click below for info! (I also may add separate posts for diversity reading and/or other writing- and editing-related services.)
For $0.00855/word *OR BEST BID*, I will vet your work of writing before you publish it, checking for mistakes in spelling, capitalization, & punctuation, missed words, inconsistencies of tense, formatting, & POV, and miscellaneous grammatical errors. Never again need you fear posting a finished chapter and discovering a slew of typos after the fact; no matter how sleep-deprived or late at night the state of writing, I will ensure your text is ship-shape. Or, if you happen to be interested in having other types of writing proofread before submission--essays, comics or webtoons, letters, transcripts, compositions of a personal nature, so on--I will happily take these on at a comparable rate.[1]

Incisive eye for typo-hunting and tenacious attention to detail (I have high standards and will make those everybody else's problem... now for pay!)
I will read for content of any genre and all ratings, and am broadly[2] open to any subject matter, kinks, et cetera. I'll also post more detailed guidelines (booking process, any exclusions, additional criteria) on a separate, unrebloggable post so that any edits and updates are always current.
Message me via the chat feature on Tumblr, or send me an e-mail (I will post it on my more info post) to request a quote, bid for a slot, or just to see what I can offer for whatever project you have in mind. And please feel encouraged to share or boost this post! I am in urgent need of any income I can get, and every share counts 😭🙌

Since I can't hug you guys irl.... I'll hug you in a fanfic!
You were wandering through a graveyard, scoping it out to see if it was a safe place to hide from the zombies. A graveyard didn't seem like a good place at first... but all the zombies should have migrated elsewhere from the lack of food, right?
As you pass by each grave you notice how there're not names engraved on them....but fanfiction? And headcannons too!
You're looking through the etched headstones when you hear stumbling footsteps and growling. You turn around and....
"Rawr!!!"
Did that zombie just say "rawr"?
"Rawr!!!!"
it slowly shambles towards you, clearly faking its limp. It pauses abruptly as it sees your flashlight in front of the headstone.
"Where you..... reading my work?!?? I mean- Rawrr!!!"
You nod, your brow furrowing at the zombie's literacy.
"Did you... like it? Rawr."
You nod again. The zombie jogs towards you with a smile.
"Really?! Wowie!!"
The zombie leaps towards you and embraces you in a hug. Surprisingly, it smells of the bath and body works' "vampire blood" scent. It steps back and jumps up and down with joy.
"Thank you! I've always wanted to be a writer, but I never had anyone to show my work too! I'm having a bit of writer's block right now, but come back soon, okay?"
Before you can respond, the zombie happily skips away and shuts itself into a mausoleum....
prompt in this case was ‘a portal to another dimension in the form of a tree’

Excerpt from WIP:
In [redacted], these Deepspring trees are sources of great power -- and great mystery. It is not fully understood how their intricate root systems connect this plane to others, but traveling through these portals is as dangerous as summing that such travel is limited to one direction.
Hi! I’ve been part of Writeblr for a while now but I consolidated everything into my main blog here a while back so I thought it was about time I dids this again!
About Me
Name: Raven
Pen Name: Raven Elliot O'Connor
Age: 25+
Pronouns: they/xe
Location: UK
I'm a self-published author and you can read about my debut series here! I'm tag and ask game friendly and am also willing to answer asks in character. I'm queer, mentally ill, neurodivergent and disabled so a lot of what I write reflects that, because I want to see myself on the page and hope others will find value in it too.
About My Writing
Genre/s:
Urban Fantasy, LGBTQ+ Romance, and uh... fanfic XD
Demographic:
Young/New Adult
Themes:
Found family, interpersonal drama, trauma recovery/coping, magic and mystery
Current Projects:
The Truth Saga
When they were children, their brother was stolen and their mother killed. Elyan and Lydia Moore have dedicated their lives to finding out what really happened that night, and where their brother was taken – but the truth will throw them into chaos they could never predict.
The Truth Saga is my debut NA series combining Urban Fantasy with interpersonal drama and romance. It's an indefinite series in which the books will be written in such a way that readers can jump in wherever and not be too lost/be able to figure out the story so far as they go. If you like a diverse cast, queer representation, characters who come alive on the page, and realistic depictions of trauma and mental illness without demonising it, you'll love this. The first book in the series, Reckless Truth, is available now from Amazon, Itch.io and Gumroad
The Magiverse
Everyone knows the Magi exist. Some say the foundations of our greatest cities were built upon the bones of ancient Magi; others that they are simply freaks of evolution. One thing most agree on: they’re dangerous. But most of them are just kids, desperate for a place to belong -- and that's where the Shelter comes in. Deep within the confines of a troubled town, a small group of displaced Magi live and love and hide just like everyone else.
The Magiverse is a YA Urban Fantasy project focusing on a group of lost and displaced young adults in their journey to self-acceptance. It is about the grief and fear that comes with living in a world not built for you, and the love and trusting relationships we form regardless. Every forseeable novel will be completely standalone and follow a different group of characters! If you likefound family, queer identity and commentary on the societal demonisation of mental illness wrapped in a bundle of supernatural drama, you'll love this!
Throwing this out into the winds of writblr, or authblr, idk what that part of Tumblr is, I'm just an erotic angsty fanfic writer BUT
Please reply, reblog or send me an ask if you have any reccomendations for fiction where the protagonist is non-binary (and clearly so. I'm not after implied gender so much as I am clear representation).
All genres are acceptable.
I'm looking for these from an analysis viewpoint. I wanna get some ideas and do some research on how non-binary protagonists have been approached in fiction already. I'm planning an original work for NanoWrimo next year, so I'm getting some pre-reading in early.
