"When a comm builds atop a fault line, do you blame its walls when they inevitably crush the people inside? No; you blame whoever was stupid enough to think they could defy the laws of nature forever. Well, some worlds are built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares. Don’t lament when those worlds fall. Rage that they were built doomed in the first place."

— N. K. Jemisin: The Stone Sky

"Built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares" could be the historical footnote for this era of capitalist imperialism. Could also be the official tagline for the USA.

I'm still not over my cold, but at least that's given me some time to draw.

Something colder than my most of my recent drawings: a devil-lady of the icy peaks, rather than of the infernal depths. Perched up on the mountainside, she awaits her next victim... or is just waiting for a few friends to meet up with for a night on the (alpine) town. I don't know, I just draw them.

A drawing of a young woman with horns and large leathery wings, suggesting a demonic or bestial influence. The woman is perched on a rocky mountainside, her wings partially unfurled around her as she peers through heavy-lidded eyes down the mountainside. She has a messy bob of straw-blonde hair and upward curving horns; she's wearing a fur-trimmed layered halter-top coloured lilac and ivory, along with a lilac skirt, pale green tights, and pale brown knee-high boots. Her prehensile tail is pale green, like her wings.

I've got some great news to share today: "(Not) A Hero Story," the comedic fantasy LitRPG I've been working on for the past couple of years, is now available to read for free online. Join Marty and the gang on their misadventures at https://notaherostory.com! 🥳

The first four chapters are available now, but I'll be releasing a new chapter every month until next September, so stay tuned to see what happens next. (Don't worry: every chapter is a self-contained story, so there aren't many cliffhangers.)

I'm glad to finally share this story with other people! I said I've been working on this project for the past couple of years, but, really, it has been in the works for over a decade at this point. It's a labor of love and I'm really proud of what it has become.

The art on the banner was done by the incredible @hpkomic and @Casino! They did amazing work 👏

Enjoy!

I'm super late for my biannual re-#introduction post... Whoops! 😅

Anyway, I'm slanderoid. I'm just some guy from a tiny #rural village in Midwest, USA. I came to #Mastodon after #Twitter turned into a medical waste dumpster fire back in 2022. I'm turning 40 in a week and I feel weird about it

I'm a #geek. (Or a #nerd, I'm not sure which.) I love #horror of all kinds. I used to play a lot of #VideoGames but not so much, lately. I'm more into #movies and #music at the moment. I love #books and I can often be found #reading something. My wife and I run a big #LittleFreeLibrary from our front lawn. We've got some big plans for it next year!

I recently launched a website full of my #writing over at https://notaherostory.com. #NotAHeroStory has been my dream for many years and it's cool that, after some hard work, time, and dedication, it finally exists! If you're into #fantasy, #comedy, #LitRPG, or #beer, you should check it out. It's 94% free!

If you're new here, welcome! 😄

The painting I commissioned last year for the cover of "(Not) A Hero Story". A blue-haired man wields a wooden sword against a huge snake in a dark forest. The snake is holding a tanuki captive with its tail. A pink fairy and a massive spider are off to the sides.

It's tragic that Nassun, in a fit of rage, comes to understand her father's filicidal outbursts—but can't quite make the connection that what she aims to do with her fear and hatred is just as evil as what Jija did to Uche with his.

So close! Just a wee bit more self-reflection and she'd get there…

Ah, but we're only a quarter of the way through the book. There's time and hope for Nassun yet.

Do you hate AI, love discovering new indie authors, and love Fantasy stories that get DARK?

Then I suggest that you preorder Once Upon A Fairytale, an anthology that has all that (and you get to prove the power of Mastodon as THE place for us indies)!

Please share, so others too can find a good read for the fall season. <3

An adverticement picture made by me (hiisikoloart/Mara Reboi) for book named: Once Upon a Fairytale: A collection of original fairytales. Background is a bed of moss (a hint which will be clear if you read my story in the book) lit by golden specks of light. The texts around the eBook cover shown in a phone says, "A Collection of Original Fairytales - PREORDER NOW! Dark Fantasy Stories from Human Authors, NO AI, Only 99 cents." The cover is photoedited (NO AI) by artist: D'arte Oriel, and shows a dark forest, thorns around the edges of the cover, and a thorny, red rose at the middle. Golden filigrees frame the cover among smaller roses, and magic particles. The subtitle "a collection of original fairytales" reads at the top" while the main title reads at the bottom on bold, golden font "Once Upon a Fairytale". Note: By buying this book you support human work - each story was written by a human author, edited by human(s), formatted by human(s), and the cover was also made by a human. All authors and the cover artist (who is not me) are against use of AI in any part of the creative work.

Advertisement graphic for "Once Upon a Fairytale - a collection of original fairytales". Texts are on moss and paper backgrounds and halos of light dazzle at the edges. Ad texts read in descending order, "collection of original fairytales, Preorder now! only 99 cents, Dark Fantasy Stories from Human Authors, NO AI". Blurb is on the paper next to the cover and it reads, "Once Upon A Fairytale could quickly become your worst nightmare... A prince imprisoned in a tower, a stolen child, a young woman determined to walk her own path, a mysterious hunter stalking the forest, a jealous enchantress, two girls torn apart by fate - these are not the fairytales you grew up with. Venture into a world of original fairytales, where magic causes chaos, villains threaten entire kingdoms and the hero is in for the fight of their life. Will they prevail? Or is their future looking grim?" The cover is of a red, magic rose on a dark forest background, and golden filigree frame around the photomanipulated art. NO AI was used in its creation. Artist: D'arte Oriel
