Seems it's getting a bit more crowded here, so I figured I ask. What is everyone writing? Favorite genres or formats, current projects you're excited about?
That's tough because my favorite story is always the one I currently write. The most 'interesting' origin story is probably one inspired by Houska Castle, paired with a desire to write the most capital G Gothic story possible. I threw in every stereotypical trope, including a blatant 'it was a dark and stormy night' opening line.
Not yet. I'm currently editing my stash of shorts and novellas. This one is up next. Not sure how or where I'll publish when I'm done though. An anthology seems to be my best shot since novellas aren't exactly a hot commodity, and my short stories aren't short enough for 90 % of the magazines I looked at. If all else fails, I guess I'll make a blog.
Yeah, I write cosmic and gothic horror (in a medieval-ish secondary world). If it reads like it could have been in Weird Tales ca. 1936, I have accomplished what I set out to do.
Absolutely! I'm on my last editing pass from the feedback I got so far for a cosmic short (~12k). Should be done in a few days. If you're fine with audio, here's a short.

How would you describe your writing style?
Someone once asked me how I would describe my writing style, and I had a very particular but short answer: dry, succinct, melodrama....
