As of 3/2025: I’m hungry for diverse rep in romantasy, fantasy, and horror.

Some dream projects for me would be a Haitian-inspired fantasy, a Black sapphic romantasy, a werewolf fantasy with pack dynamics and fated mates, and a fantasy or horror with a badass MC with disability rep.

Things I’m drawn to in stories:

• late-stage coming of age stories

• immigrant experiences

• healthy + toxic relationships (familial, platonic, or romantic)

• themes of obsession, power, feminism, gray morality, and more.

• chaotic openings and/or characters

• specific experiences that hold universal truths

• body positivity

• sex positivity

• fast-pacing

• tight plotting

• ruthless and messy characters

• female villains

• unexpected twists or POVs

• con artists or grifters on job

• convincing red herrings

• ensemble casts

• twisted games or puzzles

• yearning and/or pining

• non-western mythology

• unique magic systems (especially with consequences)

• unexpected villains and/or villain POVs

• unraveling secrets at a reunion or celebration

• reincarnation + fated lovers

• haunting, small and/or isolated settings

• anything involving curses or prophesies

• inheritance stories

• secrets amongst groups

• cults and dark rituals

• light + dark academia
