Alright, mailed! But the post office worker gave me a bunch of shit about using media mail to ship zines (even though it met the minimum 8 pages). Fellow #zine makers: how do you ship your zines that are above letter size? I don't want to have to raise my prices to offset the full cost of shipping 😩

Hello cool folks who have ordered zines from me in the past few days: I am behind on getting to the post office due to my grandma being at the end of her life. I'll try to get there today but I'm not sure if it's gonna happen. Thank you very much for your patience and I have not forgotten about you!

I think I just wrote my favourite chapter ever.

It’s about a 6ft4 German cannibal getting railed by a trade unionist twink.

This new project is so fun to write.

a trope map with a book cover at the center. clockwise, the map reads: teatime flirting, atmospheric and lush, hot women doing gross things, the weight of unattainable atonement, hell is a fae world actually, flawed chosen one, liberators service vs punitive sacrifice, dreams as knowledge, freedom in the forbidden, homesickness for a place that never affirmed you but that you belong to all the same. book cover description: illustrated by Elaine Ho with typography by Cass at Opulent Designs. A regal Black woman gazes at the viewer. She is larger than life, towering head and shoulders above a dark castle. Her white horns are twined with flowering vines, and her red braids flow over the castle, hair transforming to a pool of blood at the foundation. She holds a white magnolia bloom. The title The Flowers I Deserve is set against the red in a sharp white serif font.

Because I like you all, here's a very NSFW excerpt from my current vampire romance WIP. Micah knows exactly what he wants from his hot vampire date; Julian is more than happy to play along.

“You wanna know what I’ve been daydreaming about all evening?”
“Yeah,” I say, but it comes out sounding like a beg.
“You holding me down and fucking me into the mattress.”
“Oh shit,” I groan, my hips jerking involuntarily. “Tell me more.”
“I want you to fuck my pussy like you own it.” His voice is smooth and sultry as he jacks my cock. “Really give it to me. And while you’re doing it, I want you to bite me.” He licks the tip of my cock, and a groan bursts from my lips.
“Shit, Micah,” I say between sharp breaths as he explores my dick with his tongue. “You’re gonna make me lose it.” My fingers tighten in his dark curls, holding on for dear life as he pleasures me. I feel the pressure in my gums as my fangs descend, bloodlust only heightening my arousal.

Yup I'm alcohol-free for 12 years so bars hold no appeal to me. We really have such few options.

I have looked into my local one but the person I talked to about it said the attendees were mostly teens unfortunately, and I am way too old to be hanging with the kids lol.

I had to stop testosterone prematurely due to stuff out of my control but even a year and change on t was life changing. My voice is so much deeper, I have an okay beard, and I even got a little chest hair. If you think you might benefit from t, you probably will.

also. i don't know if there are any younger transmascs following me, but a word to those who might be waffling on hormones:

testosterone does not "destroy" your body.

if you don't love being a woman, you don't have to pretend to be one for anyone else's sake.

you deserve peace in your heart.

Baby's first #SLUDGEPIT? Ayo. Let's talk about my upcoming novella, MONITORED ACTIVITY.

📼 Sentient malls
📼 Serial killer/Final 'Girl'
📼 80s through 00s nostalgia (derogatory)
📼 MC [🏳️‍⚧️&🏳️‍🌈] is more than a little fucked up.
📼 Aliens...? Cults???
📼 "That should NOT be a kink, dude. JFC."

#WIP #H #D

A three by three image mood board that has a long underground hallway without end, a lit up skeeball machine, the back light of a car with a metal plate that says 2000, a brutalist structure, a sandy beach, a hand gripping someone else's forearm, a screen filled with lines of green code, blood on white tile with a hand doing the sign of the horns and a pair of white sneakers almost out of frame, and a single illuminated escalator in a dark room. In neon green text are the words Monitored Activity, Horror, Sci-fi, Unficion, @Astramachina. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

MONITORED ACTIVITY: A state-of-the-art security system arrives with the New Millennium, and shoppers at Prime Plaza can now spend their time and hard earned money with newfound peace of mind. That same luxury doesn’t extend to the mall’s employees.

Hallucinations of missing girls and impossible hallways haunt Shaw's every shift. Footage of bloated corpses vomiting sand, violent indiscretions committed by management, and a hell-dimension of perverse delights makes the security guard equal parts sick and turned on.

It’s a good thing that Shaw is impervious to shame. There is no serial killer, haunting, or starved alien life-form that can stop him from getting what he wants: PTO, and in his boss' pants.

The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

Two rough black and white sketches in the form of Polaroids. The one labeled Shaw Price '01 is of a young man with dark eyes and eyebrows, long hair tied back in a ponytail, he looks cocky and gay. The one labeled Eddie Conners 2001 is of a basic looking middle-aged man with short hair, serial killer glasses, and bags under his pale eyes. The entire graphic is covered with 2000s style sticker decorations: a glitter heart, a glitter star, a CD, and a swoopy star circle in neon green. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

In bright green text: Nov. 12, sentient malls, nostalgia-bait, final "guy", sexy hell dimensions, getting off on company time, t!m/c!m, evil DILF propaganda, everyone's an asshole, serial killer/potential victim. At the center of the graphic is the book cover for Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller: a mostly purple background with gltched out CRT monitors, and a banner on the bottom that says Welcome to the night shift. The graphic's overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

All my transmasc friends are coworkers and sometimes I'm like... I need to be able to talk about personal, gender and sexuality trans stuff with people who I don't work with 🫠 Where do all the cool transmascs in my city hang out bc I sure as hell don't know.

A trope map made for sludgepit. An edited photo of a pile of alligators gathered together, blurred and colour changed, makes up the background. The forefront contains SLUDGEPIT at the top with large letters. Glowing at the bottom is the words, 'ALLIGATOR BOY BY REVON M. CASTILLO'. In the middle is the placeholder cover of Alligator Boy, which is the ghost of a man imposed on the image of a greyed out cypress swamp. From top to bottom, left to right, in clockwise direction, the trope map reads: Revenge Against Abusers, Alligator Swamp God, Lots of Kinky Sex, Transition Through Monstrous Means, Bloody Happily Ever After, Queer Rage x Queer Gore, Overcoming Agoraphobia, Trans Man MC x Cis(?) Gay Man.

Agreed with all of this. The thing that gets me is, if a trans man is writing characters in situations that he thinks are hot, who the fuck has the right to say he or his characters are less masculine for it? But ppl do it all the time and it pisses me off.

I just want to live in a world where indie queer creators get as much grace about how they depict sexuality and relationships as a Marvel movie with no actual queer people in it does.

Akiva Lee, zine fiend @akivaleewrites.bsky.social · 4d

Wanting to explore writing trans men subbing but I have seen so many people call that "bad rep" I am mortified about posting it. Which I guess is all the more reason to do it, because I shouldn't let other ppl control what I write, but damn it sucks that this is a thing I have to worry about.
