i'm ewan — developer, writer, occasional poet. i build open-source ATProto tooling,
self-host most of my own infrastructure, and take commissions for things i'm actually
good at.

if any of that is useful or interesting to you, ko-fi.com/ewancroft
is where commissions live:

• poetry from £10
• short stories from £20
• SvelteKit websites from £100

everything's CC BY-SA 4.0. no NDAs, no nonsense.

tips are also welcome if you've got use out of anything i've made or written.
either way, cheers.

Have been trying to share more art & music here and there on my Patreon. Recently, I posted a behind the scenes video for a song of mine, and a new original photography set I put together

(They also added a new feature, so I was able to attach my Ko-Fi and my merch shop to my Patreon 🤔)

Anyone else like rocks?
I posted this TikTok to try & raise funds and it ended up consisting mostly of me showing off some of my rock collection 😅 some polished, most unpolished.

Hello creatures and beings of the Fedilands!

I come to you with a request—or perhaps an offer, depending on how you choose to see it. A few months ago, I released a small audio-drama project based on three short fantasy stories I had written. At the time, I asked whether any of you might be interested in lending your voices to the endeavor. What I did not anticipate was the sheer wave of feedback and enthusiasm that followed its release.

There was, however, a shadow over that first incarnation. The project was born from a college writing class and bound tightly by length limits and an unforgiving timeline. Creative corners were cut. Wings were clipped before they could fully spread.

So now, encouraged by friends and kindred spirits, I have chosen to begin anew.

Blackwood Tales rises again.

The script for Episode One is complete, and Episode Two is already taking shape in the dark between the stars.

And now we come to the true meat and bones of this message. I am seeking collaborators of all kinds. Voice actors, composers, artists, and any wandering souls who feel the pull of this world. You are warmly invited. If the project calls to you, I would be delighted to speak and see where your talents might weave into the tapestry.

A brief synopsis:
A young man burdened with seemingly useless magic, a collection of ancient books, and the weight of his grandfather’s legendary legacy must find a way to save his brother—and restore the freedom of magical creatures from Tarrinia’s tyrannical ruler.
