Hi, I'm Jess!
Sometimes the world turns on the smallest things. A left turn. A child's prayer. A smear of blood. The dark goddess of the hunt has been freed. She has Called her priest. Together they hunt those who trapped her. And they will save the goddes

It really doesn't come up much in #HuntedAndCalled, but I always default to queer acceptance unless I have a reason not to.
#WolfGirl will not have queer acceptance because it is set in the Great Depression and I'm choosing to keep mosty historically accurate attitudes for it.

Month started off real good, finished drafting #HuntedAndCalled
It's ending on a low note. Prep for one story ended w/ the story getting shelved until I can come back to it with fresh eyes. Prep for a second story is going okay but slower than I'd like

An October Prompt Game of Miscellaneous Proportions
TUESDAY TROPES
[Graphic of an old man wanderer, with a sack on his back and a long walking stick, and a black cat]
Prompt:
27 | Tell us about a found family in your story. Who are the characters involved? How did they come together? What qualities do they bring out in each other? Feel free to share a snip.
[Graphic of a talking crow]
This trope is near and dear to my heart, as I myself have a chosen family. The ones whom I call family are a tree frog who cannot stay out of trouble, a bossy butterfly who always thinks she knows best, and a shockingly dim-witted black cat. All inexplicably and horrendously lovable.

#HuntedAndCalled is probably prety high on the scale. An eight maybe?
The story isn't about hope, but it does require the characters to have hope, and belief that a better future is possible.

The werewolf character in #GirlFangday is ace, which will absolutely come up in the story.
Iberto in #HuntedAndCalled is ace-by-magic. Once he is Called by his goddess he has no interest in a relationship with anyone else. Doesn't really come up in the text.

But he feels the most safe when curled up with the Great Goddess in her Alter Chamber.
