About Me

I'm Alex Amelia Pine, you can call me either Alex or Amelia/Amy. I'm a proud trans woman (she/it), polyamorous lesbian, as well as a notorious gamer, writer, and tea-drinker! I've always been a storyteller at heart, whether that's in the form of writing/drawing comics, narrative fiction, or video game development. I love building worlds, writing characters, and setting off events that make people think and feel in new and familiar ways. I'm almost entirely self-taught in this sense, writing purely for the love of the craft, and slowly honing my skills over the years to try and be the best storyteller I can be. My writing is influenced by many factors, including things that interest me and things that affect my day-to-day life. Being autistic, a trans woman, a lesbian, and more are all integral experiences to me as a person, and so those things shine through in everything I make. I believe in love, acceptance, support, and unity, and I write with the hope that those values can someday leave the page and enter the world through someone I helped impact with my art.

The enshittification of the Internet showed me that I needed somewhere to house my works and online presence, just in case social media ever completely falls out from under me. To that end, I came here, with this work-in-progress, fixer-upper of a personal site. My hope for this site is that it will be a place to house all of my projects in progress, my various thoughts in the form of articles, blog posts, etc. as well as finished work and places you can support me therein.

At the moment, my focus is on writing for my Patreon, with free content also being available here. I try to diversify my genres that I write, but I also keep a consistent theme of prose storytelling and a focus on character and emotion. I've always been particularly fond of the fantasy genre, so I have many stories churning in a world of my own, but I also have lots of stories with other settings and themes to unveil soon!

I also do art from time to time, mostly OCs but also the occasional fanart if I feel so inclined. I work in mostly traditional art, which is likely how any long-running comic I might produce would be done, but I also enjoy using limited tools art tools, like programs on the Nintendo DSi or dated PC software. Most of my art that's been posted online has been done in a combination of Flipnote Studio for DSiWare, Nintendo DS Notes, or Miiverse (as run by Pretendo Network). My profile picture was actually draw on Miiverse, then downloaded for coloring and editing! I occasionally post my doodles online, but I also plan to post even more of them, alongside little 4-panel comics, on my Patreon as bonuses alongside my writing.

Last but certainly not least is game development. Gaming has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember, and there's never been a time where I haven't been thinking about the idea of making a game. My progress is incredibly slow, as I'm not only learning everything from scratch, but also not putting a whole lot of focus on it right now. I've downloaded RPG Maker VX Ace and Godot to experiment with game engine, as well as Aseprite as a starting art program, and Furnace to experiment with sound/music. My main project is an RPG from the lineage of games like EarthBound, Deltarune, etc. Content on that will be posted under the Project Gaia page. Anything else I make will likely be posted in that same Projects section, though occasionally may stray into the main Game Blog.

I think about music all the time, but I'm far too busy with everything else to even entertain that idea right now.

I run three main blogs on this site: my blog blog, for blogging; my game blog, for gaming; and my writing blog, for writing. Basically if it's not strictly gaming or writing, it goes on the blog blog. I try to write something for all three of them when I have something worth saying, but it's fair to expect at least one of them to be in a lull at any give time, usually the writing blog because I spend more time writing than writing about writing. All three of them get announced via the Recent Posts section on my homepage, and also via my RSS feed.
