Writer, geek, obsessive reader, typewriter enthusiast. I spend about 90% of my free time hoping for fictional men to kiss each other and the rest making them.

@AlexanderNewall I don't know why, maybe because you remind me of a guy I went to school with, but I think you'd be either a theater actor or a gym teacher. And I think you'd be decent at either.

@SiennaSasha Sending all the get-well vibes.

Giving anyone who hasn't found me over there and wants to a week's notice.

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

@Alecto101 I think you were one of the last ones I was looking for over there before I cut ties here entirely, so yay!

@DragonProse @byConnieChang This is exactly what I was thinking!

[Realms of Peril & Glory @RealmsPod]

Yesterday on the Realms feed, we announced two thrilling new projects that are going to see Realms of Peril & Glory through to the end of 2024!

We'd love to tell you about them now!

[Realms of Peril & Glory @RealmsPod]

Realms needs your help! We are asking our audience for feedback on where we should take the show in the future!

@naomithinksit Spicy food, the spicier the better, for me. Anything with ginger in it. And when worse comes to worst, shut yourself in the bathroom, turn on the hot water in the shower, and press your fingers hard against your sinuses. Feel better soon. 💜

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

@naomithinksit I may or may not have had a very specific dream involving Monty, Torbrennan, two characters from Dimension 20, and a couple of characters from non-recodded games I myself have played in...

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

@naomithinksit I didn't know it was possible to get MORE excited for this than I was, but here we are.

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

@JessicaTheLaw Oof - been there, done that, got the scar. Feel better soon!

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

@AlexanderNewall ... it's been sixteen hours and I just realized that autocorrected what was supposed to be Martian Death *Flu*.

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

@AlexanderNewall Feel better soon, and also, believe me, I understand. I once tried to run an all-night writing event with what I'm pretty sure was the Martian Death Fly, and the combination fever and sleep deprivation meant my futuristic paranormal romance now had Daniel Radcliffe and a panda.

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

And I have enjoyed every thrice-damned minute of it. (Seriously, go listen to this series, it's SO GOOD. It will break you in all the best ways possible.)

[Pip Gladwin @Pip_Gladwin]

Here we are at the end of another series of CY_BORG! This has been a real labour of love (hate) and I’m so proud of everyone involved x

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

@SBundell @RealmsPod I've been really trying to step up my embroidery game lately, so I'm really glad the RCD filaments came out well!

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

I finished in time for the finale! The amazingly adorable Orphaned Gearhead, Pyrex (and her robot friend Bags) from @RealmsPod's CY_BORG campaign, as played by @SBundell!

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

Full write-up can be found at https://t.co/bQyq2N6uoA as well as links to other characters in this project.

@JessicaTheLaw Exactly! I am much more likely to enjoy a "you can do both" story than a "following your dreams won't REALLY make you happy" story.

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

Just once I'd like to see a novel or movie where the aspiring musician (or artist, or novelist, or actor, or whatever) accepts the major contract and leaves the love interest and it ISN'T presented as the Bad Ending.

[Jessica Law is no longer on X @JessicaTheLaw]

There's a moment in every music feel-good film where the aspiring artist turns down a major record deal for some noble but totally unnecessary reason, and for me it instantly becomes a horror film

[Ollie (they/them or xe/xem) @OllieTheWriter]

The closest I've seen is The Jazz Singer (and the Warner Brothers cartoon clearly based off of it), so let me amend that I'd like to see this done a) more than once, b) in the modern day, and c) without the racism.
