Me, turning to Fio: SO YOU SEE. IN THE WICKED BOOK-

It’s been a while! Just checking in to say plodding along with work things (loving my time working in publishing at Curious King) and looking forward to a rest in the holiday season after a very stressful autumn.

But tonight it’s Wicked For Good and a dinner date and Doctor Who Party tomorrow!

Trying to restrain myself from dropping all the Deep Oz Lore on @fiotrethewey.bsky.social while we watch Wicked together this evening.
It’s a struggle.

I think one of the hardest things about being a career writer in traditional publishing is that writing attracts the neurodivergent brain while the variable reinforcement schedule punishes it. We are all the rat at the water bottle, waiting for the hit of cocaine. You get one win, and you need MORE.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the trans people lost to violence in the U.S. this year.

Widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination makes trans people 4x more likely to experience violence than the average person.

We shouldn’t have to live in fear to be who we are.

Happy International Men’s Day to all the incredible trans men out there. Thank you for existing.

Today is International Men’s Day. So here’s to refugee men fleeing abuse, trans men denied healthcare, queer men bullied for being different, Black men racially profiled, disabled men excluded from work, and all the other men who fail at being “real men.” May we continue to cultivate our humanity.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

This is such a beautiful thread of trans people showing joy ❤️❤️❤️
Since Trans Joy Tuesday got such a great response last week, let’s do it again.

For the trans people out there, let’s offset all the bad news and share something happy going on with you.

Whether it’s big or small, please share your joy!

Hi @jessiegender.bsky.social ! I hugely enjoyed your video on "The Best Star Trek This Year Was… an Audio Drama". In the video you said you wanted to get more audio dramas, and I wanted to bring to your attention the number of queer and trans creators who are currently working in the medium!

It's Trans Awareness Week! So increase your weekly awareness of us by reading our stories.

(Our books also make great holiday gifts for your conservative relatives you'd like to never speak to you again!)
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Unfortunately we weren’t able to raise the amount we need to make season two of Holmwood. We’ve seen it coming for a few weeks now, but it’s still a huge blow.

However, making season one was an utterly amazing experience, and I wouldn’t change it for the world ❤️❤️

The Kickstarter has officially ended at £20,293 and unfortunately we didn’t meet our goal or make the amount needed for Season Two. The money will now return to everyone who pledged it.

What’s next? A thread 🧵

Two hours to go!
If anyone can today please can you share as there’s only 10 hours left.

Even if we don’t hit our goal we can use the final outcome to prove to potential sponsors the support we have for the show.

Just under a day left now and we’re at 30% for our Season Two Kickstarter of our Found Footage horror fiction podcast designed as a sequel to the novel Dracula

Any funding at this point still helps as it proves to potential investors that we’re worth supporting as we make new plans for Season Two

Just 33 hours to go until the Kickstarter ends

I know it looks bleak but please keep donating and sharing. 33 hours isn’t long. But the more support we have, we may be able to prove to future investors/sponsors how much support we can feasibly raise ourselves.
Only 4 days left until the campaign ends and as it stands at under 30% that we cannot afford to make Season Two.

Please share our Kickstarter below and help us make Season Two a reality

You can also help by writing your own social media posts and tagging friends you think will enjoy us!
