Crack art requests - don't add on to these, because they're just for fun. If you want to request art, go to my art blog.
Need to write an accent? Go to this site, look up said accent, and listen to it so you can get a good idea of how it sounds. It’s actually surprisingly useful.
I won’t even lie about this, I was making sure I could render a Finnish accent correctly for when I eventually write for Armo. Yep.

Pssst, anon! I’m a writer who’s working on a novel, too! I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but if you need the support, I’m right here. You can shoot me an email at stephsartrequests@gmail.com if you want some extra support, okay? (My parents support my writing career, which I’m really lucky with - I think you deserve that kind of support, too. Every writer deserves support.)
I am the worst sportswriter in the entire world. Or perhaps the best.
It really sucks when the two main characters in your novel keep you awake until 1 am because they’re writing comedy together and having terrible giggle fits.
By the way, this is a rare moment since you get to see Basil lose it. He’s normally really good at holding a deadpan.
This kind of happened this weekend.
Yeah, those are Basil’s grandparents and some odd company. Turns out Basil’s great-grandfather served in the British military in India and his son decided to do some intelligence work on behalf of his father during the Napoleonic Wars.
Basically, Basil’s grandfather was a spy who assembled an awesome spy team of awesome to root out French spies in Regency England. Yeah.
I need more sleep.
I’ve been going after the establishment like crazy today - first the male-dominated baseball writing industry and now my town’s board of ed.
I like being a satirist. It’s so much fun.

This has happened to me at least twice: Ells started as a comic relief side character and became a main character, and half the cast of Londinium has been through this.
This happens to me all the time. All. The time.
I resist the urge to strangle anyone who tells me this.
I don’t even write fantasy and I would flip my lid if someone said this to me. As it stands, Londinium has miraculously escaped this comparison so far, probably because in 1863 nobody runs around shirtless to show off their abs.
If only there were a Shakespeare version of the “BARROWMAN!” gif. XD
I took a Shakespeare class last semester and serious dude was a perv. I love it.
Exactly why Basil and Will took the title of this play and parodied it with “Much Ado About Neighthing,” a play chronicling the story of one of their Eton teachers who was suspiciously interested in his horse.

I can attest to this. My best creative writing comes after 2 am. Basil and Dustin’s best work also comes after 2 am.
- Work at library
- Update sports blogs
- Write Londinium
- Asperger’s therapy
- Sleep
I’m not sure where I’ll squeeze in ‘write Londinium,’ but I’m going to try.
Also, if you’ve drawn fanart for Londinium, let me know and I’ll link to it on the blog page. (Note: I know nobody will contact me regarding this because Londinium has not been published yet.)
That awkward moment for a writer or artist when one of their fictional character’s school chums grows up to be really hot.
Damn you, Algernon Huddleston.
…and I have so, SO many more characters than this, but these are the only ones who have tags on Tumblr so far. As more appear on Tumblr, they’ll be added here, so.
