A full year cycle is very fair. But if things are still grim in 10 months, start making records youβll need for your move elsewhere.
Best of luck and all the well wishes!

Glad the managers are supportive. I hope things go better for you this time around.
#HorrorWritersChat I'll keep fighting so I can have all the Reeses to myself.
Anyways, I am looking for more poets to join my #Poetry month bundle on itch.io.
Horror poetry, stories in verse, epic poems, and more are all welcome! It just has to do with poetry.

Go Team Vampires and Eldritch Abominations!

I am Vee, I write Eldritch horror and the horrors and evils of slavery (I feel I should start stating this now due to *certain* nasty views sadly making a comeback >.>), and Resident Evil. I haven't PLAYED any Resident Evil, but I love seeing Let's Plays of it
My favorite to watch & write are vampires, despite having gone with the ALIEN franchise in the first questions. They can look like us, speak as we do, and otherwise almost perfectly disguise themselves to walk among us. Then: blood and teeth galore. In this house, we stan vamps.

Thank you so much for hosting, Gree! Great questions, as always. And I love an opportunity to talk about vampires.
So much mess π love them
The Xenomorph, hands down. My mileage with the Alien movies is better than most. I tend to like the ones that others don't and like less the ones that others enjoy, but the design and world-building around them is glorious.
I think the Scorpion Mother in DEEP DOWN is my version.

Hello! I'm Gree, writer of body, psychological, and religious horror!
You can probably guess this one about me LMAO
#HorrorWritersChat
Cthulhu!
I gotta go with Cthulhu here. Such an iconic design, and the foundation for my love of unfathomable entities. π
In my Synaptic Sprawl mythos, my Lovecraftian gods are known as "The Exiled Ones," and they absolutely take inspiration from other cosmic horror creatures.

Vampire obsession?
Cold hands?
Twins??
You can pry my obsession with vampires out of my cold, dead hands. And yes my current WIP is about vampires! Although there is only one I would call a true monster in it... The rest of the monsters are all human.

Yey Team Vampire!
#HorrorWritersChat I have to choose vampires for my favorite monster. Most of my writing is from the POV of monsters, and mostly vampires. But I love a good zombie, as well.
Tales From The Night Garden is all about vampires, werewolves, and witches from a vampire and a werewolf's perspectives.
#HorrorWritersChat I really like the fighter-type with goofy and / or genius quips.
But, there are many wonderful archetypes that work well within the genre.
Oh, you can't make me choose... I personally love to utilize creatures from folklore and love to see them the most.
I think in action horror, though, the relentless thing which feels inescapable/invincible can be the scariest, or the most annoying, depending on how it's done
#HorrorWritersChat
Yey Team Vampire!
While I do love a unique creature with its own lore, vampires are hard to beat. Being turned adds a whole new aspect to the horror, much like with zombies.
So far I've only used a vampire once. I love em, but I haven't thought of that many cool, new ways to use them.

I love vampires. Have ever since I was a kid and nobody knows what that *ah ha* moment was, least of all me.
It's not in the blood, that's for sure.
Characters with vampiric natures, rather than the typical aesthetic (which I love) are in my work.
zombie horror but has such range.
Iβm Clover, and I write experimental and psychological horror.
I donβt think itβs much of a hot take to say that the Resident Evil franchise has been a huge inspiration for the horror genre as a whole. My favorite is the first game because it is dripping with atmosphere π

Does the SILENT HILL movie count? It's been in my top ten since I saw in my freshman year of college. I also love Yamaoka's scores for the films and games.

SINNERS >AND< US
because who needs one favourite when there are so many great choices.
