Luea

She/her. An aspiring visual novel/interactive fic creator. I'm way better at writing than I am art but I do try!

My goal in life is to create stories for the monster pal genre that caters to a more mature audience. This means I want to pen (and draw for!) works that focus on the interactions between humans and monsters in fantasy worlds while also acknowledging the severity of such relationships existing (whether it be through the manifestation of enigmatic phenomena, the suffering of body horror, or just flat out brutal violence where situations can turn out to be life or death at any moment).

Particularly, I'm most interested in creating monster pal stories featuring a wide variety of queerplatonic relationships (from romantically-inclined to platonically-inclined to family-inclined ones), strong character development, and a mildly-unique plot built on the back of fascinating worlds. I want to muse on the idea of what politics would look like in these worlds, how the presence of monsters would impact the local economy, and how societal expectations are altered by a world that accepts otherworldly beasts instead of condemning them. 

There's particularly a lot more I'm interested in writing about (eldritch phenomena and eldritch worlds among them!) but that's the gist of what I want all my projects to be about :Dc

Currently, I'm working on four projects:

• "Hologram" (Major Project) - 90k words (been staying at ~90k bc i keep editing things. also it's really hard to backtrack on POVs OTL). Fantasy/Horror*/Supernatural/Adventure. Light romance of a queerplatonic** nature. Split into 3 routes. 

Currently on: Chapter 2/3 depending on point of view. Hoping to release around Chapter 8.

• "Divinity" (Major Project) - 31.5k words. Fantasy/Adventure/Horror*. Split into 2 routes, one of which features a qpt romance** and the other of which won’t.

Currently on: Chapter 1 for both POVS. Hoping to release at chapter 3 for both POVs.

• Fanfic World-Building Artbook/Document (Minor Project) ~14.5k. Almost fully written out minus a few sections i need to finish. The art portion is not nearly finished though OTL. Good news is I get to draw a lot of monsters! Bad news is that means it's gonna take me A While to finish up project ;;;
• ??? (Minor Project) - ~4k (dubiously). Currently deconstructing this work bc if I don’t it’s a mess lol. Fantasy/Adventure/Horror*/Supernatural with a focus on a girl x girl relationship over time (but only as a queerplatonic** romance). Still workshopping this one but potentially may do short story anthology to introduce and flesh out ideas surrounding this world 🤔
• ??? (On the go minor project I’m adding in bc I was already working on it): ~8.5k words. Otome(lite) game. Fantasy/Adventure/(queerplatonic) Romance/Horror*. Has 6 routes (3 gal LIs/2 guy LIs/1 gender-fluid  LI)+ 1 true route. Technically meant to be an otome game but I’m not sure it really counts as one ;;
  

Currently hoping to release when reaching a certain point in all POVs. Debatable.

*=I don’t consider any of my stories to be of the horror genre because, frankly, I don’t write my stories with the intention to give people a good scare. But I also like writing stuff that you might find in horror stories (spooky monsters, psychological torture, body horror, etc.) so by that logic alone you could argue that these works are part horror due to that.

**=Queerplatonic relationships (be it of a romantic nature or not) are relationships that, in my definition, see people in said relationship featuring a soulmate-like bond with each other. Both parties have a strong emotional attachment to the other party and are  mutually codependent on each other for a feeling of safety and comfort. This is not the same as a romantic relationship or platonic friendship and instead is better off being described as “platonic soulmates” (which is perhaps the best definition of queerplatonic relationships I can give).

This profile will be updated as I go!
