I don't tend to write sequels as I like to wrap evverything up in a si gular story. To date, the only exception is Wilted Lilacs, which is planned to have two parts. #📚💙
Ian Haramaki 🏳️⚧️✨ @ Megaplex C9@cometkins.bsky.social · 7h agoHave you written a sequel before? If you haven't, what's stopped you? If you have, what were your most and least favorite parts about doing it? #WritingPrompt
Valeria's the only one who thought to defeat Talia. No one else thought it possible. Perhaps it isn't, but Valeria has hope. (Characters are from my dreamscape Sleeping Beauty retelling, wherein the prince and Sleeping Beauty meet in a dream realm and work together to break the curse) #📚💙

I'm 48. I transitioned when I was 42. It's never too late.
Hannah Who@notablyuncool.bsky.social · yesterdayIf you have transitioned later in life, please know how deeply you are needed here. Your story is the exact proof someone else needs to finally take their first step.

Aashirya - that she's after Beatrix purely to avenge her captain Valeria - that she is unfit to be king if she cannot use magic, and that his imperfections make him weak. Tomas - that it's horrible to have desire #📚💙

'Logic is my mother tongue' says her bio while her post says, 'Hiring an editor is the same thing as using AI' ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah No.
I have two wlw stories out and available! Talia's Curse is a Sleeping Beauty retelling wherein the prince and Sleeping Beauty meet in a dream realm and work together to break the curse. Mermaid's Blood follows a pirate forming an unlikely friendship with a mermaid she first sought to kill.
Ian Haramaki 🏳️⚧️✨ @ Megaplex C9@cometkins.bsky.social · 3d agoHow about we get a Yuri promo day going today? If you’ve got Yuri tell people about it and where to buy it! #WritingPrompt
Can someone explain to me how an ecchi anime from the 90s about a hamster that to date has only ever gotten a fansub has become a comfort show for me?
I'm currently working on my novel Wilted Lilacs which, unlike everything I've ever written, has a yaoi love triangle. The book's not ready yet, but follow me if you wanna see the pairing of guy who hates himself x other guy who hates himself x guy who hates everyone but himself. #📚💙
Ian Haramaki 🏳️⚧️✨ @ Megaplex C9@cometkins.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s national Yaoi day, tell me about your Yaoi and where people can buy it! #WritingPrompt
I wanted to punch up the action scenes in Talia's Curse. Make the prose faster and cleaner, focus more on the feeling than description. I think it came out good. #indie #📚💙
Ian Haramaki 🏳️⚧️✨ @ Megaplex C9@cometkins.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat's something you decided to really punch up from your book/wip in edits? #WritingPrompt
I really wish I could tap into that drive I had for writint as a kid. I use to pump out 10 chapters a week.. Now I can't even find the energy to write one sentence. Funny, isn't it? #📚💙
I really do despise that people who don't understand what "purity culture" means just use it liberally to dismiss feminist critique and the oversexualization of women. It's very annoying.
Why do all these randos care about my farmers market post? Stop being weird. Go buy my books instead Thodestool.ca/books

(characters are from my dreamscape + wlw Sleeping Beauty retelling) Valeria and Esperanza are both royalty, so they're experienced in attending balls and are fairly social. Selena and Talia often showed up for balls as well, though not many approached them on account of them being 8'5 fairies #📚💙

Currently reading The Song of Broken Bells by @voicesofvalhoon.bsky.social . It's so good so far!! #📚💙
Talia's Curse is one of my few stories where things went according to the outline, so nothing really jumped out. In my next project, Wilted Lilacs, however, I kinda accidentally made a character soulless with access to a ghost realm. As one does. #indie #booksky #📚💙
