17yo comic-nerd Zach is a liar. That’s his superpower. So when his best friends break up, shattering the trio, he dresses up as a superhero to fix things to the way they were. But he never expected Stella would ask him to help unmask the guy she’s falling for. Being a hero sucks. #Q #R #YA #Bluepit

But to make things worse, she sets up a fake-dating scheme with him. No way she’ll get lower than that and catch feelings, right? RIGHT? #Q #R #YA #Bluepit

lrp OpalApparition marked “NO AI” all over her ao3 but there she was, using it. When people first started accusing her, I supported her. I didn’t read her HR fic but we were friends. She would never! There were many chances for her to cop to her lie of not using it. She never took a single one.

Instead of this, why not participate in the #Transrightsreadathon? Lots of great recommendations at: transrightsreadathon.carrd.co There's also the hashtag here on Bsky, and I've personally reposted a ton of trans authors and artists today.

The Legendary (and Minor) Houses of Twixt are what you get if you take the idea of SFF noble houses, but make them *found* family instead of blood family, and add a little supernatural boon-and-bane twist. Plus infuse each one with inspiration from queer culture! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

2025 in numbers: 1 book published (US) 3 books written 215000 words approx 5 on page murders 2 on page cats 1 coming out (I've lost track of how many books I've read, whoops) It's been a rough year, but if the horrors persist, so do I.

I don't know if I'm eligible for any awards, and frankly the idea of looking terrifies me. I'm just a little guy; there are so many fantastic writers out there. But hey, I wrote books, one was published last year (the green one - it's very good, or at least I think so.)

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

What's the relationship dynamic in the Murder Train book? Much as I love the stoic bodyguard who adores his prince but can't be with him dynamic, that didn't fit these two. The physical feelings came much faster than the emotional ones. In their defence, they are idiots, your honour 😂

Quotes read from top to bottom: “You’re a disrespectful little cur. I should have my father whip you.” “Whip me yourself, you coward,” he snapped. “You’re cute when you’re being treasonous.” “I don’t care,” Seth replied. “You need to eat, so you’re going to eat this, and if you don’t do it by yourself, I’ll pin you down and feed you myself, and not in an enjoyable sexy way, either.” “Hey,” Laurence said softly. “You’ll keep me safe. I know you will.” “I believe you said something about begging, your highness,” Seth said softly, leaning down to nibble gently on the prince’s ear. “Perhaps you might like to reconsider?” “You mean you weren’t just desperate for another taste of my cock?” Seth raised an eyebrow and Laurence laughed, a rich and full sound that made Seth’s heart swell. “Arse,” Seth said, a little louder than he intended. He slung Laurence’s arm over his shoulder. “Arse,” Laurence replied, pinching Seth’s with his free hand.

Women want one thing*, and it’s disgusting. *An epic sapphic space fantasy about the rise of a dead cosmic god, the chronically-ill Herald of its arrival and the transfem Valkyrie who are just literally holding hands through the horrors. the-hallowed.carrd.co

Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background. Art by Aubrey Ennis.

Women want one thing*, and it's disgusting. *An epic lesbian cyberromantasy that transcends genre boundaries, is funny as hell yet emotionally gut-wrenching and also there is an autistic pheonix jetbike that only communicates through emojis. Also wizard mechs www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...
