We hope these will make you laugh, and tense, and cry, that they will make you feel seen and loved, that they will give you the strength to love in your own way, on your own terms, in all the queer glory you desire.

Here is our full list of authors and stories! (ALT text to have it written down)

Socializing with cool people I like: great

The autistic crash out right after, where I beat myself up for every social misstep I made during that conversation: less great

It's my first year being out as transmasc at work and it's really stressful in some ways but sooo liberating in others. Did not realize how much self-censorship was happening on a day to day basis, to students and colleagues alike

I will have a story in this YA queer horror anthology 🪱
Drumroll please! 🥁 Here are the authors for the SKIN DEEP anthology (coming early 2026)! I’m so proud of everyone here—their stories are amazing examples of YA queer horror. There are familiar names and debut authors. Congratulations to all! 🪱

2 gender related things happening at work that are kind of out of my control and stress me out

This is not going to be a chill back to school season let me tell you

Just ran my first 3km without breaks!

I wanted to register for a 3km race near where I live but turns out everything under 10km is exclusively for CHILDREN

Anyways we'll see if I get to 10km before March but I doubt it 😭

Desperately trying to make friends in this city but getting coworkers I like together in the same place at the same time is worse than finding a date for my next D&D session everyone agrees on

Finished another short story for a submission call and I really like it but at the same time if it's not picked up... it could mayhaps work even better as a longer work

Autistic inherent dislike for change and difficulty understanding what I'm feeling vs. trans need to transform my body and recent testosterone changes, FIGHT!

If someone tells you you're not naturally gifted at something, the appropriate response is to become unnaturally gifted at it, which is even cooler

The first thing you need to do if you want to be an ally to trans people is realize that transphobia is an almost entirely socially acceptable form of bigotry, to the point that even seeing it AS bigotry is controversial almost everywhere.

It can be hidden, joked about, and used to gaslight trans people and seen as the "normal way" to do things.

And for us to speak up, or out, about it is unnatural. It's like the cis are doing us a favour by letting us exist within their world.

How *nice* of them.

Good news: I have a story that got accepted somewhere

Bad news: realized I kinda botched another submission that I really liked by somehow missing a major guideline

You win some you lose some 😭

Sometimes I wish I was taller (easier to find masc clothes that fit) and then I remember I am Neil Josten height and I immediately feel better

Being the only queer person in your family is so funny. This is the water bottle my mother bought me as a gift because I have a cat and I'm gay. I got rainbow socks at Xmas for the last 4years in a row. The previous water bottle my mother bought me was also rainbow. They ally too close to the sun.
