🖤 an fmc that could rot you from the inside
🖤 warring gods whose sharpest weapons are their own people
🖤 vengeful villain arcs

We have a story featured in the upcoming anthology From Me To You: Anthology of Human Connection. It’s cozy and queer and leans hard into the importance of community through the found family trope!
PREORDERS ARE OPEN!

Publishing is a broken system, and most individuals can't fix a whole-ass system, but a thread of ways you can support marginalized authors.
ingloriousgigi.bsky.social Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · Oct 11
You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.

Happy #Saturdark! When I saw the prompt was Blood I was like Ooo, I can do that! Here’s a little snippet from Project Vampire.
#queerhorror #vampirehorror #gothichorror
A snippet from Project Vampire by @ButMakeItSapphic, “Anna chewed her bottom lip with renewed vigor. Xander drew in a steeling breath, intending to chastise her for the habit. To tease that they might tear the lips from her face and savor them raw if only to save her the slow trouble of doing it herself. But with the intake of breath came the irresistible scent of blood. It was only the faintest hint, from a tiny blossom of crimson that sprouted where her teeth had snagged. But it was enough. The sound of the carriage wheels dulled to an nearly imperceptible hum as Xander's gaze dipped toward Anna's mouth. Her gray eyes blew wide in fear.”

IT'S #CHOICESANTHOLOGY RELEASE DAY!!! To celebrate, I'm hosting an AMA here ALL DAY

Ask your questions about the anthology itself, reproductive rights, and writing/editing generally & I'll pop in every 30 minutes to share answers

And be sure to grab the book! books2read.com/u/3JYo9Q
Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa. The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them. These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

Oh yeah, it has lesbian vampires. So I guess it is also relevant for Sapphic September.

Imagine me actually meeting my own deadlines for getting stuff up on KoFi. It is apparently not a thing, but here you go. That for which we have this blood pact, Part 1. The second part I plan to release end of the month/start of oct. I hope you enjoy.

It’s been a stressful week and my nails are chewed to hell, but look at these tiny flowers. 🥹

What the hell is #BIPOCVampDay?

*takes a breath*

It’s this annual fundraiser I run each year for the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America celebrating vampires of color and the need for more of them in media and literature.

And it’s hitting its 5th year this September. Spread the word.
