Introduction!

Hello people from planet Earth! This will be my new pinned post as the other one isn’t cool enough

Meet the author!

I’m Joey, an artist and writer from France. But most people call me Void! I am 24 years old and have been working on this project for over two years now (I started it in October 2020).

I am a queer, disabled and neurodivergent and am not a professional writer, I do it for the fun of it.

I struggle with some mental disorders and space, cosmology etc is what helps me, so I imagined a story that I could use as an escapism, and this is how Starlight Elegy was born.

About the story!

Summary: Some believe that the stars are the soul of the universe. That they are here to guide us and bring us where we are meant to be. And if you listen carefully, you can hear their voices. The echoes of the universe speaking through the light of the stars. Nyx is one of those who can hear them. This is how their story begins, with the voice of a star. A voice that will guide them across the galaxies and to the very end of the universe. This is the love story between a boy and the cosmos. This is what the gods called the Starlight Elegy.

A blurb I have written for a writing event: What could happen when the forces of the universe bring two people together? Starlight Elegy is the story of Nyx and Ganymede, two people with only one thing in common: their love for the cosmos. But when the fate of the stars is being threatened, this love urns out to be the key. It all began with a simple voice, an echo of the stars, then the tale became a legend.

As stated above, Starlight Elegy is a story I started writing to use as an escapism. It works great as a form of therapy for me and hope it can help others as well.

The main story will be a trilogy, and I have plans for other stories that take place in the same universe as well, an extented universe if you will, so I can write more about the lore.

Genres: Space opera/space fantasy, romance, adventure

Themes: fate, self-discovery, friends to lovers, soulmates, rebellion and war, learning that not everything is black or white.

Content warnings: anxiety, depression, descriptions of panic attacks, PTSD, violence, blood, religion (fictional), mentions of abuse/childhood abuse, derealization/depersonalization, discrimination, war

Links!

I also have a Twitter and an Instagram account specifically for Starlight Elegy but I am not very active and Tumblr is the only place I use to post updates and not just art. However you can find my Twitter here and Instagram here.

WIP Masterlist! For all the things I've written AND published so far, including one-shots, AUs etc.

Here is my Ko-fi page! As mentionned I am disabled and neurodivergent, my disabilities make me unable to work and the SSI in my country doesn't help that much, therefore I have to rely on people's kindness. So if you wish to support me financially this is where you want to go!

Beta-reader application! Doing all of this alone is hard and takes a lot of time, not to mention that I am also partially blind, making everything harder. If you want to you can apply there.

Other blogs: This is my art blog, for art not related to this story, and i also have a writeblr blog but I haven't posted anything on there yet.
