I love to see thoughtful, creative works being made in an online environment that has traditionally been an ocean of meaningless online grandstanding and facile recitations of the new, popular slogans. Thank you!

I appreciate that. My work's always been firmly rooted in pushing past the surface. I want to reinvent myth while digging into the uncomfortable questions underneath. Thank you for taking time to read it and getting back to me with such a thoughtful reply.

Really fantastic work. Thoughtful, subversive, and with a profound moral of free thought and genuine care that is truly moving. As I read I could almost picture it as a TV series... Somewhere between Midnight Mass, From, and Lucifer.

A fascinating dive into sincerely unique new lore. I really enjoyed your creation and found it to be a smooth ride the whole way through. I especially liked that the characters fit into the world but don't rely on overly stereotypical reactions. The window breaking scene really put that concept on display, his husband understanding to leave for bed and Tate's reaction to both the window breaking and the eery nature of the sphere. Great work!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. This is where I'm happiest rewriting myth, always been a fascination of mine. And when you have things like DC warping myths its nice to give them a new perspective :D

It's on Google meet. Ill have a new link out on Monday. A mix of Satanic Temple members and Palahniuk students and an English professor. We mostly talk minimalism, shared themes and read our writing. Usually around 4 to 6 people. Hail you!

That sounds interesting. Though I may struggle I'm in British time so eight hours ahead. But would love to explore ways to get involved.
