Coven: that's a wrap

I finished the Halloween story at the witching hour on the dot, and frankly, I think that fucking rules.

This is the longest, most ambituous story I've written since maybe the fifth grade. And if I pull it off, it's just the first domino in a larger project I've been brewing for over a year now.

I want to give a quick couple of shout-outs:

shout out to @subliminalbo, who I've read for many years but have somehow become friends with seemingly by chance. Last year, serendipitiously, he posted about his writing process and I must have took that shit to heart, because I proceeded to just pour out words for hours about an idea I had just been kicking around in my head, the story alluded to above. Of course, tragedy stuck in the form of a deactivation, and the first two chapters of Coven were lost (though, I promise, the story is much better now for it).

shout out to Xenos, whose fantastic Stable Diffusion models I am greatly indebted to. Again, fate would have it he messed up and posted an absolute nightmare fuel checkpoint on accident, but that's what caught my eye in the first place. It turns out what we have in common is we are both hypno/MC veterans (he wrote on EMCSA) with designs on using generative AI for bigger mixed-media products (his vision is in gaming). He also has a Discord where I've spent a lot of my time in Tumblr Exile meeting some other cool people.

shout out to @foreverlostinspirals for reading and reblogging this story. I jokingly said she is like Sigourney Weaver when she was the Ghostbusters' only client. She has been very sweet and supportive when I resort to self-deprecating comments about my writing.

I have 8% battery, so I'll thank my wife, not just for her love but her patience. I know she rolls her eyes when I am working on this when I need to be doing other things, but she does so with love and support to let me do my own thing sometimes. Even though it is highly unlikely she'd read this, I love you.

Probably a short hiatus from stories while I take a breather and organize thoughts, and I have a couple fun things planned, but you can find me on @ottopilotreturns, because I am an internet addict with no boundaries! TTFN.

Hey everybody, I just want to let you all know that even if I don't agree with all of you, I nevertheless understand and respect where you're coming from, and I'm grateful for the people who are genuinely kind and respectful to me. Having good people to talk to means A LOT to me. I especially wanted to give shout-outs to @shadamyheadcanons and @starlight-emiko for being some of my favorite people on here. Rock on and boogie down!

hey references!

also, making connections and applicability may be cringe BUT,

we have a kid learning about themselves, developing paranatural abilities, and defeating truly incomprehensible threats with nothing but gumption and the POWER of friends

a traumatized and “delinquent” kid feeling trapped in an old rust-belt town finding escape in weird fiction, weird friends, and (sorta-)coordinated violence against people of authority with dark and fantastical secrets

a normal kid learning magic despite having none, and trying to fit into the alien world they always yearned for and inadvertently getting wrapped up in the very fate of the world and magic itself, with their friends

now, who does that sound like, with added guilt, goofiness, and family-finding?
