have you seen what the brief for the open submissions for Black Library is this year? Celefax shippers rise up

yeeeeep I already wrote one entry overnight LMAO and it indeed is Celefax. For the first time I'm having to tone down the gay to subtext so it isn't immediately thrown into the bin. I may be paranoid about that though. I hesitate to think Black Library would be off-put by a tiny bit of lesbianism given the few stories where it occurs.

I will probably write a few and pick from them which to submit. I expect nothing to come of it but it has already been fun to write these incredibly short scenes and limiting myself like never before. If it doesn't go anywhere (most likely outcome by a large margin), I'll post my little stories around. I like the one I've done so far.

[wip] when you're so gay you can't even tell if you're worshiping khorne or the emperor anymore

in my head this is what appears every time they do this animation with the chainsword.

have a rough wip of some silly guardswomen wrestling over the one rationed brain cell their entire squad is given. look, i know it's an overused joke, but it's still funny to me and i blame helldivers for rotting my brain

have you read Mark of Faith?

// minor spoilers? maybe? spoiler warning to be safe lol

I'm actually rereading it right now! managed to snag a hardback on ebay for way too much money lol. always happy to have some gays in Black Library too, though most books like to leave it as subtext for reasons I'm sure. I also love all the Order of Our Martyred Lady books. Evangeline feels like a character I'd write so I enjoy her and her horrific survivor's guilt.
