Sapphic smut recommendation alert! 🏳️‍🌈

Y'all, MASK & STRAP by @katblackthorne.bsky.social is SO hot. 🥵 Highly recommend this erotic short if you're into primal kink and mascs wearing masks (ayyy lol).
Mask & Strap: A Lesbian Romance by Kat Blackthorne. The book cover shows a tattooed masc lesbian wearing a black sports bra and a mask with neon green x's across the eyes. The tagline says "If I catch you I strap you."

Hi! I'm Bryn. 👋🏻

I'm a lesbian author working on my first sapphic romantasy, an enemies-to-lovers about an evil queen and the butch chosen one fated to destroy her.

I also write lesbian erotica under the pen name Inanna Black.

I really love the queer/sapphic book community I've found here. 🏳️‍🌈

I've decided to come back after a four-month hiatus—and change my focus to SAPPHIC LITERATURE moving forward!

So if that's what you're into, you're in the right place! 😌

Happy Pride!

I got to march in the Denver Pride Parade this year with the Colorado Satanists. 😎

Hail yourselves!🤘🏻🌈

#PrideMonth
Bri poses for the camera. She's an androgynous woman with short hair, in a black tank top with rainbow colors and a pentagram. She's carrying a sign that says "pride month" but highlights the middle part of the phrase, "demon" (DE from the end of the word "pride", and MON from the beginning of the word "month"), in rainbow colors.

A butch woman poses for a selfie. She's white and has a wide mohawk dyed an auburn color. She's wearing a blank tank top and stud earrings. In the background, if you look really closely, there's the faint outline of something demonic lurking in the open doorway behind her... wait... wait, what IS that? It has a pale face, black eyes and a wide gaping mouth. Are those... wings? It's so faint, you almost can't make it out. Is it a ghost? Is she haunted?? Will anyone notice this and point it out?

Graphic for a book called "Serving the Princess" by Inanna Black. The book cover features a white woman in a red dress laying back and posing elegantly. Around the book cover, the graphic lists a number of tropes that are in the book: dominant princess, submissive knight, bondage, fantasy butch/femme, 45-minute read, and sapphic erotica

I believe in romanticizing your life.

Light a candle for dinner, even if you're eating alone.

Hang up fairy lights.

You only get to live this life once, so you might as well make it special. 💙

Film day was a success!

Got in some awesome footage for the crowdfunding video to my horror short film.

Can't wait for you all to see it. 😎
Two people set up for an interview shot. Cinematographer Jordan prepares a microphone for the interviewee, Bri. Behind them, a red floor light creates a dramatic, creepy glow against the brick wall background. They are surrounded by film equipment. Close up of a camera's screen, showing the shot that's being filmed. It's an interview shot of Bri, a short-haired white woman in a black button-dowm shirt, sitting in front of a dramatically-lit brick background. The vibes are both cinematic and spooky.

Overtop a black and white image of a fantasy knight carrying a sword and giving off dark villain vibes, the text reads: "Embracing my inner demons. French kissing them. Might fuck 'em."

I just finished this lesbian romance today, and it gutted me.

I related so much to the heroine, as a late bloomer who's had to overcome my own shame and internalized homophobia.

This book wasn't just kinky, hot, and swoony. It was healing. 💙

The big updates:

1. My queer horror screenplay was a FINALIST and a semifinalist in 2 major contests.

2. I started pre-production on my religious horror short film, GUARDIAN. (It's real and official!!)

I spent enough time this week being productive.

This afternoon is for REST.

Currently curled up in bed reading a VERY steamy lesbian vampire book while it snows outside. 🥵❄️
A view of the book I'm holding in bed: House of Crimson Hearts by Ruby Roe. The cover is black and red with blood dripping from the text. A cute, slick reading light clings to the book, dousing it in a cozy, warm yellow glow.

What's more, because I'm a finalist, my script has now broken the RED LIST on Coverfly. It is ranked #19 out of *all* horror scripts on that website.

I could end up with meaningful industry connections from that, too. Getting onto the Red List is a big deal!!
Screenshot from the Coverfly website shows a profile for a screenplay. The screenplay's title is "The Sacrament". Underneath the title it reads "Feature, Horror, 96 pages. Two Christian girls struggling with feelings for each other fight to escape a nefarious force in their Evangelical megachurch that is hunting down sexual sinners one by one." Next to this text it says, "The Sacrament is one the Red List, #19 horror feature in the past month." It also says the screenplay is in the top 2% of all discoverable projects on Coverfly.

I actually cried when I got this news.

It happened. I'm a FINALIST in Stage 32's horror contest. My script is one of *ten* that have advanced this far.

I could end up with meaningful industry connections because of this.

I found out today that my queer horror script advanced from quarterfinalist to semifinalist in the ScreenCraft Horror Competition! 😱

It has now advanced to that level in TWO major contests.

In two days, I'll find out if I'm a finalist for Stage 32's contest. 😰😰

This year, I wrote a queer horror screenplay called THE SACRAMENT. My goal is to direct this as my first feature film.

This month, the script received its first two accolades, advancing to the quarterfinalist rounds in the Stage 32 and Screencraft horror contests!
