its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%
Gothic Western is one of my favorite sub-genres to sit with and enjoy. Now, I have started Preacher based on several recommendations but when I went to watch it Netflix played the last episode first and I was ignorant to the fact until pretty far in, so I had the a lot of the ending spoiled. I want to go back but I find the motivation hard to find. Also, special mention to Penny Dreadful and Supernatural for being super formative for Dead West but neither really sits firmly within Western Gothic.
The Mechadova Engine, an upcoming steampunk sci-fi audio drama, is currently casting a main character.
Details in the document below.
(Not so) fun fact that people updated with Hi Nay may know is that I wrote Hi Nay in response to real life Philippine fascism, with our main character Mari, a warm, sweet woman who seems relatively cheerful in the face of all the Horrors, having lived through fascism and having had to do monstrous things to combat it. It all comes back to the Duterte presidency.
The real horror is fascism, and the apathy of the rich and powerful, but we keep living, and despite it all, we find surprising moments of queer joy.
That's what drives the story of Hi Nay. It's why we've never shut up about politics and global issues even if we're an indie fiction podcast. I'm glad so many people have resonated with it in some way.
