Hi! I'm Claris (she/her), a Chinese Canadian author and poet writing to inspire readers with hope, perseverance, creativity and happy endings.
I've got 6 books published, but it'll soon be 7 with my upcoming YA fantasy short story collection being published on May 18th, 2026. I hope you enjoy reading my fantasy, poetry, and mystery books!
it's been a while (two years!!) since i've done a writeblr reintro, can you believe it? not a lot has really changed, but i have some new projects and professional developments to share, so here's to anyone who's new or simply looking for a reminder of the vibes!
— about me
I'm ashirisu (she/they) and I'm a fiction writer/editor based in the PNW. I'm a massive nerd for storytelling in all of its forms, and just about every hobby I have relates in some way back to writing, consuming, or (hyper)analyzing works of fiction.
I'm here to connect with more writers like myself who got their start in fandom spaces and are working to take their writing from a hobby into a career. I see you, I am you, I love you, let's be friends!
— about the blog
For what is ostensibly meant to be a writeblr, there's precious little writing on this blog. I'm trying to get better about sharing pieces that I don't intend to put on submission (since a lot of lit mags have strict rules about what constitutes a reprint and it's just easier to keep things in the vault), but most of what you'll likely see is reblogs and additions to advice and resource posts, as well as silly little posts about my process and the overall vibes of my writing.
My goal is really just to be able to talk shop with other writers without needing to filter everything through a marketing lens. I landed on tumblr because it's one of the last platforms out there that isn't overly reliant on algorithms and micro-trends, and also because I've been here in some form or other since 2011 and old habits die hard.
There will also be a lot of non-writing related posts and reblogs because I simply do not have it in me to run multiple side blogs!!! I'm sorry!!! I just want to laugh at silly jokes and be gay on main!!! So if you know me from work, no you don't!!!
— about my writing
I write primarily flash fiction and short stories, and my favorite genres are SFF, romance, and horror. Regardless of length or genre, all of my work features queer, neurodivergent protagonists in various states of emotional crisis.
I also do this professionally! I have a few craft books out, as well as a quarterly newsletter you can check out for more discussions and resources and such. I'll sometimes talk about that here, but I try to be chill bc I want y'all to think of me as a Cool™ editor.
— about my projects
Here are the things you'll most likely see me posting about:
Agnomen: My sci-fi reimagining of Hamlet and Coriolanus, currently in the first (official) draft stage. It's the only project that I've ever completed a zero draft for, and I'm determined to turn it into a functional novel/novella!

Flash Fiction / Short Stories: This is mostly what I write, but a lot of it is reserved for my writing group due to those aforementioned reprinting rules. I'll share my "just for fun" pieces on occasion, but I'm also always happy to share a link to my Drive if you're interested in seeing more!
tag
D&D: Many of my shorts feature my D&D PCs. My current active PC is Leda, a reborn Circle of Stars Druid who is the saddest, loneliest girl in the world whose only friend for the first twenty-something years of her life was xenoanthropology. You'll also likely see a lot of Baz (my previous PC, a human Wild Magic Barbarian with chronic Eldest Daughter Syndrome) and Cass (my CoS PC, a very hot and very haunted cowboy).
tag
Fanfic: I am a chronic non-poster of fanfic but I'm actively trying to change that, so please please bother me about it! I write mostly for Zelda, namely BotW and TotK, but I also have a handful of X-Men fics, as well as an ongoing Shane-centric Stardew Valley project.

ley rambles: my (often wordy) opinions about things
ley writes: not necessarily my writing, but talking about my writing
my writing: stories, blurbs, and other content I've written
not my writing: reblogs and creative writing that I liked, shared, and sometimes commented on
alrighty gang, the quest for an up-to-date pinned post is always ongoing <3 i figured i'd put up a new (re)intro bc !! things change a lot lol
about.
My name is Cassian but I also accept Viscera as a nickname. My pronouns are he/him and I am rapidly approaching year 22 on this earth.
I have been writing since I was 8, so about 14 years now, but am still constantly evolving and learning and developing my skills - like any artist!
I've written primarily fanfiction for most of my life, but I have MANY ocs and original wips and I think 2025 is the year of finally focusing on them!
For original fiction, I write primarily fantasy, modern with magic, or hidden fantasy settings. I'm also discovering my love for writing erotica and filthy nasty sex, so that's ... what a lot of my wips feature or center around nowadays!
You can read my original work on AO3 here, and I am working to build a neocities site to cross-post on.
I still write a lot of fanfic, but the majority of it is rpf/band-based and not usually something I'm comfortable sharing here - though you're welcome to ask about it still if that strikes your fancy!
Always open to tags, ask games, & literally random asks about anything. I tend to be extremely slow in answering and responding tho, so my apologies for that!
I also love music and will probably be talking about it often in relation to my characters & wips .<3
My main blog is @autotheophagic , which is where all likes and follows will come from!
Again, I have Many wips, but I will be linking the main & ongoing ones on this post as I figure things out.
I also have a Ko-fi, where I am now offering writing commissions.

My recent poll made me realize that a lot of people haven't actually been around my blog since the Ol' Days. So, I thought it was about time that I did a little reintroduction!
I'm Katie! You can find me on Amazon as K. E. Koontz; it's right here! You should totally consider checking out my books! I have sea creatures, I've got werewolves, I've got demonic possessions and haunting ghost stories and characters like you wouldn't believe!
I've also got a mailing list, right here!
I'm a bit of a hot mess, but I'm trying! I used to raise and train showjumpers for a living, worked at an animal sanctuary, lost half my vision and switched gears to being a full-time writer!
I'm the primary source of income for my family, which includes my mother and my sister, and all of your support is greatly appreciated! Don't want to buy one of my books? No worries! Consider checking out my patreon, my kofi, or my wishlist!
Anyway, I write a lot of horror, I love werewolves, and I'm very much interested in creating characters that have a heavy, devotional cadence to them. You can also find crime thrillers and fantasy pieces in my collection!
Penny Posting is the tag I use for the romance pieces that will eventually go under my penname, so feel free to block or follow that as you see fit, and keep an eye on the 'my writing' tag for snippets and excerpts!
I just finished getting a full trilogy set-up for preorder and I am soooo exhausted now, but I do still have other projects in the works!
Shed
Devil Mine
Cryptid Hearts
They Looked Like People
How To Date A Werewolf
Gorehound: An Alaskan Horror Story
I host the @writeblrsummerfest every year, have been on writeblr for a very long time, am a professional ghostwriter and dev/con editor, and constantly tell myself 'next month, I'll get my act together.'
My big dream is to get to a point where I can start taking my mother traveling some, and if my username seems vaguely familiar, it may be from that one time I briefly went viral on Tumblr for pulling a litter of two day old kittens out of a very, very deep storm pipe (we still have one of them)!
Hey everyone ♥ It's me! Just with a new blog and a fresh coat of paint. The old intro had gotten so old that it was time for a new one anyway, so let's dive into it with some random facts about yours truly~
I'm in my late 20s, sapphic, and have many hobbies that I love juggling.
My favourite novels include the Vagrant by Peter Newman, Before the Coffee gets Cold by Kawaguchi Toshikaze and Clara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. I'm always on the lookout for new stuff to read, so please send me your recs!
My last year at uni has been wild because I could write papers about how the gay animals in Beastars deal with human social issues and about how the nature in Breath of the Wild isn't wild at all. For my thesis I got to write about how girls being sacrificed to magically solve climate crises isn't very feminist, which was also very fun.
I play piano and violin, predominately Chopin, Sakamoto and a collection of game/film stuff (piano arrangements from the Nier games may break my fingers, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.).
Apart from those hobbies I like to play games (Final Fantasy, League, indie stuff like Celeste etc.), boardgames, dnd and watching films!
I like to write haiku and tanka, which I usually post on my sideblog @colombette.
I can be bribed with strawberries. Just so you know.

hello (again) writeblr! i decided to make a new intro that has all my current wips on it, since i have way more than when i first started out on here.
about me
I go by space, my pronouns are they/them, and I’m in my third decade of existence, which is absolutely wild. I’ve been writing for most of it, so I like to think I’m pretty decent
I write mostly fantasy and erotica (sometimes at the same time), both original and fanfiction, and all of it's queer
You can find my work on my AO3 here, crossposted to my neocities here, and under my snippets tag
I’m open to tag and ask games, and my inbox is currently open to anything as well. I don’t always reply the fastest, but I’ll get to it eventually! (I don’t take part in chain asks, so please don’t send me them)
I use obsidian.md for all my writing, and it’s my favourite notes app ever, so I also talk about that occasionally. The tag for it is here.
my main goal is to actually finish some damn books and also to inflict my OC brainrot upon people. so far the second one is the only thing that’s actually happened, but i live in hope
My current wips are Chronicles of Valloroth (Crowned Prince being book one), Obedience, Obsession, and claws—summaries and links for all four are under the cut!
