Dear grammar checker, When I say “not even”, I do not mean lopsided, and I do not want you to replace it with this “more appropriate” word. Ever. Best, Your frustrated writer friend

To win the meds he’ll die without, Avery joins the world’s most competitive job interview: 🌏 return to the dead Earth 🚀 build a spaceship from scraps 💫 fly it back to Titan 💔 team up with his rival ex 🗡️ kill him before landing 🖤 I said kill, not kiss… #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

Adult THE DARKNESS OUTSIDE US x WINTER’S ORBIT Avery Clark is dying of radiation poisoning because of a mistake. Of his ex. Now his only way to get life-saving meds is to repeat the journey that gave him his terminal diagnosis. With his ex. If they don’t kill each other first. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

The only way for off-the-books engineer Avery to win the meds he’ll die without is to enter a dangerous job contest. He must return to a desolate Earth, build a spaceship and fly it back to Titan. Should be easy, if not for his vengeful ex who's the best pilot in the competition. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

When a terminally ill engineer applies for a deadly job interview, he not only faces a desolate planet, but also his bitter ex. His one chance to win the meds he needs rests on them working together to escape Earth. But only one can win, & it means betraying each other. Again. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

MOONRISING x 4 ALL MANKIND A terminally ill engineer enters the world’s most cut-throat job interview that can save his life. When they're sent back to a barren Earth & the competitors start dying, he must set aside past grievances & team up with his rival ex to survive. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

Did I just collect 300+ questions to revise the character profile of the MC of the spec thriller I’m drafting? Absolutely. Will I ever respond 300+ questions about my character? Very unlikely. 🫣

I shared the character art yesterday, but here it is again today: Meet Avery, 29yo space engineer picking up illegal jobs while hiding on the lowest level of the last crumbling city on Titan. Smart, talented, and a dreamer constantly crushing his own dreams. Definitely Pisces. #DVParty

Drawing of a young man with blond hair, blue eyes, hunched over a little, wearing a dark coat.

Happy #DVparty! The Liminal Knight is a very queer, very trans story about: - liminal feels and the need to be "enough" - love & acceptance from within & without - Big Gender Feels - autonomy - having 0 social skills but making a move on your crush anyway bc a sentient world wants your body so YOLO

A collage shows a background, in yellow and green duotone, of a giant hand reaching out of the ether toward a lone figure standing in a dark tunnel. Smaller inset images include: an extreme close-up of someone looking down, and a similar close-up of someone looking back up at them; a line of horned monster silhouettes against a foggy mountain; a person brandishing a sword; a hand turning into smoke; and a person clutching their head in agony and fear as a smoke-like entity fights its way inside. The top right corner says "The Liminal Knight, May Zullino." Text across the rest of the moodboard says "I know who I am; what I don't know is if I'm worth saving if I can't save you." And the response "Then let's save each other."
