Until recently, I've only given my work to close friends to read, but I've decided to try showing them to a wider audience. I'm doing this for the feedback, so please let me know what you think. 

Right now I'm uploading series of stories which are episodes in the life of a monster slayer named Vero. She lives in a grounded late-medieval fantasy world and hunts creatures based in real folklore. The protagonist was inspired by the historical figure Joan of Arc. Like Joan, Vero travels in men's clothes for her work and is driven into battle by a mixed sense of piety and duty. The stories range in genre from horror to romance.

I'm also posting a collection of some of my odd creative writing experiments with ChatGPT. Uploads for this come whenever I'm in the mood.

All the art I use in the stories themselves (not necessarily the covers) is AI generated from different sources, using prompts written by myself. It's just something I do to spice up the stories a little. The styles are pretty eclectic, from photorealistic to faux-oil-on-canvas. Please let me know what you like/dislike and I'll try and adjust the illustrations to suit the audience's taste. I'm not nearly popular enough for this to actually come up, but if anyone feels impelled to create fan art I'm open to featuring that as well.

I've also got a YouTube channel where I play tabletop games with friends and we run a podcast talking about old comic books. So please feel free to stop by.

Edit: Well, my Wattpad adventure kind of seems like a bust. I don't know if a single person ever actually looked at my work, but if you did read it and liked it, then please come over the Royal Road. That's where I'm most active these days because I seem to get more readership there. This profile is currently being preserved only for historical purposes, I don't plan on making any further updates here. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/404620
