Writeblr intro
Hello, I'm Ven (she/her)! This is where I plan to yap about my original stories, writing craft, media (books, manga, anime), and whatever else inspires or irritates me. I'm hoping to find a place on writeblr and connect with other writers.
a little about me
I'm primarily a speculative fiction writer with vague literary aspirations. Most of my stories involve weird worlds, evil gays, generational trauma, ensemble casts, the future we did not choose, and assholes. I love the claustrophobic eeriness of small towns. Oh, and alternate realities are a huge recurring theme. Many of my stories live in the same multiverse.
I think Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin is one of the greatest works of the 21st century, and I'll fight you.
I have a BA in English and an MFA in Creative Writing.
Some writers who've inspired me: Donna Tartt, Maggie Stiefvater, Kazuo Ishiguro, Karen Russell, Tatsuki Fujimoto, Diana Wynne Jones, Stephen King, and Kelly Link.
Fountain pen glazer and Midori notebook enjoyer.
I'm always down for asks and tag games! I really just want to make friends with other writers and scream about my blorbos.

Rowan buried his best friend in an unmarked grave. Eighty years later, wonky time dialation, and exactly four universes to the left, Rowan's memories of his adventures beyond the magical Door are little more than half-remembered nightmares. In our world, he's thirty, fantastically unemployed, and forever on the mend with the family who thought him dead for two years. The only thing he looks forward to is the monthly meeting of the Inter-Dimensional Travelers' Support Group, where other losers like him indulge in that which they've locked away: the truth.
You'd probably enjoy this if you have a thing for crash-outs and evil twinks. Some random excerpts:
