I really like the new frankenstein movie but I also think its a massive missed opportunity to make the monster a woman it would have fit the themes gdt was going for very well.

an approach I'm gonna take with every story I'm writing and will write in the future is just ask myself "can I include a trans woman in this"

I'm already loving hell maiden. Divine comedy yuri is such a good concept.

It's so puzzling to me how bigots got so much into Signalis to the point of trying to take over a great part of the fandom and try to erase its queerness.
Sure Signalis' story is so vague, I hardly call it a story, but you'd need to be blind to not realize the game made by two queer women is gay

I really wanna how what is probably a whole team of people thought garlic mayo ink was a good marketing idea.

I think the problem with "sapphic books" is that it doesn't separate genre identity from personal identity and it gets a lot of people mixed up because of it so when people say a book isn't a "sapphic book" it gets people upset cause they view it as a personal attack. 1/x

With the #toxicyurivnjam now wrapped up and the winners declared, I am proud to say that we did not win. 😌 However; if you're looking for a game about women doomed on a spaceship and the choices they make; with reviews like: "super amazing" and: "it stressed me tf out" Aletheia is the game for you!

Not really sure since I thought I was gonna focus more on fluffier more light hearted stories and I have those in my production line which would count as leaning heavily towards queer joy but also ummmmm Aletheia is very much not that. So for my it just depends on what I'm going for in something.
On the subject of queer joy & queer suffering in fiction, I think of it as a spectrum, and each writer and each reader has a comfort zone on that spectrum, for whatever reason.
My sweet spot as an author is about 70% joy and 30% suffering, give or take 20% for either.
What’s yours?

Sighing deeply as I add jester yuri to my ever growing pile of yuri concepts that I want to write after I mentioned it in a drunk discord call, and now its stuck in my head. #lesbian #lesbianauthors #wlwauthors #wlwbooks #wlw #yuri

I really wish the way people used it didn't turn me off from using sapphic as a way to market stories. It's such a shame since it could have been a way to have a clear way to advertise generally wlw stories but its become clear people can't not use it to bait in people searching for those stories.

So it's been over a month since Aletheia's release and we'll probs make a bigger post on our group page but it still feels surreal to me that we actually completed it even if it wasn't the most ambitious project it was really a first for a lot of us.
