Just subscribed for the year because both @alexsteed.bsky.social and my dear pal Samuel James are amazing, thoughtful, talented super-beings. This made me love this amazing move even more. @youaregood.bsky.social

For someone who just scrapped the novel they've been working on for, like, a year, I feel pretty optimistic.

Authors, are your books on Itch.io? And are they Queer SFF?
Or do they have neurodiverse, disabled or BIPOC MC's?
Or nonbinary, asexual or aromantic MC's?

I'd like to make some Bsky Author Lists of all the above!
(And yes, feel free to drop book links & blurbs while we're at it 😉).

📝 You didn't call it a #vision, not to them. You said it was like a dream, but you were awake. Maybe it was one of your migraines. Maybe it was your imagination. But it wasn't. You saw the calendar flip to tomorrow's date. You saw the house and the flames. And I believe you.

Always impressive when a book is full of flawed characters who do awful things but 1) I'm still having fun, and 2) I'm kinda rooting for the bastards to succeed regardless.

Finally read a book that was recommended to me, like...12 years ago? Turned out to be worth it, and honestly, I might not have thought so if I hadn't waited.

Anyone else ever do that? Procrastinate reading/watching something only to find out it really was up your alley? Or reassess an opinion?

Gay crimes!
Trans wrongs!

It's me again with my #OWN #LGBT #swashbuckler for #WIPPit!! A romp through a colorful, heightened #His torical playground.

Can one defeat the patriarchs with the very weapons of masculinity? Well, one angry trans boy can sure try stabbing them a lot.

Today's Apophenia Snippet:

"So, you got some random human chained up out in the desert and not much else is what I’m hearing.”

The fact Renato couldn't do shit about the smirk creeping across Kinslayer's face made it even more galling. "I'm working with what I have."
