Oh, this is a fun one!
Katlynn feels not a twinge for men, and has only ever been with other trans women. She likes to be in the moment though, and won’t discount things changing.
Kettering will happily play with femmes of any gender, but her heart belongs to other trans women.

The hardest part for me is trying not to get too in my own head about character interactions. I already overthink everything when I’m flirting with people, I can’t do it for my characters too. Unless I wanna give them lesbian sheep syndrome (which might be a fun plot device ngl)

I set out to write ‘Furies’ as a romance, but I like to include at least a few crumbs of romance in just about all of my fiction. Even the ‘Second Crusade’ started life as a buht jolokia spicy romance and then kinda expanded from there into the unhinged space opera it is today.

Howdy all! I’m June, I’m a trans femme SFF writer, and my current WIPs are ‘Furies’ a kinky, sapphic, T4T romance that has decided it wants to be a novel rather than a series of shorts, and ‘Venus in Words’, a collection of essays on kink.

Ket and her Sirfetch’d are inseparable. She didn’t catch him, and he’s never been in a pokéball.
Katlynn caught her Dreepy with a hollowed out apricorn, and though she listens to her trainer most of the time, the two share a tendency to ignore orders in the thick of battle.

There are archmages that think they’ve mastered magic, but in truth even the gods haven’t mastered magic. It can’t be mastered. Raw magic flows like water through the planes, creating and destroying supernatural marvels. Powerful immortals may be able to refine it, but they’ll never truly possess it
#Febchantment Day 12
What does it take to be considered a "master" of your magic system?
Is it about the range of your techniques? The difficulty level? The amount of knowledge in your head? Your ability not to set yourself on fire?
Or perhaps there IS no "mastery"?

I have freed myself from the tyranny of underwires, put my feet up, talked to a couple good friends, screamed just a little, taken dabs, had a cocktail, and cried. Today was horrific personally, professionally, and politically, but the earth will keep spinning and the sun will rise again tomorrow.

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

Nirn is awash in raw magic, but only immortals are able to touch it directly. Sorcerers are born maybe once in a handful of generations, and can change the world with a snap of their fingers. However, there is always a cost to any mortal who taps into raw magic. Sometimes physical, sometimes mental.

What limitations did you put on your magic system to keep it from becoming too OP? Is power in short supply? Do spells take a physical toll on the body?
Note that this is about magic done RIGHT. Day 13 will be about when magic goes horribly wrong!
