Would you like to buy books that were not written, edited, created, or anything with genAI? I have three of them. I can even shittily draw in them if you order paperbacks from me.

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

I'm really looking forward to writing the first appearance of the main antagonist in the Heirs of Finndrigair series in my current book. He's the world's angriest necromancer.
What’s something you’re looking forward to writing? A scene? A particular book? #WritingPrompt

I've never written Cyril and Daumantas' meet cute, so I'd probably do that as a bonus short story.
For your WIPs or published stories, if you were asked to write a "bonus scene" outside of the main plot, what would it be?

There is a lot about the right's attack on trans issues to be concerned about, but at a high level I think it's really important to double down on how entirely fabricated it is.

That's the case with women's sports, it's the case with kids getting lower surgery ... it's all hypothetical, not reality
I don't mean to amplify the garbage .... but also I really need to stress here once again that KIDS DON'T GET LOWER SURGERY. That doesn't happen!!!

All of these government officials are obsessed with talking about HYPOTHETICAL CHILD GENITALS
Dr Oz: "The creation of a penis costs on average in America $150,000 per child ... if you add testicles, that's extra"

Please do not riot over the 16th. Does it help if I say someone requested it? 😂

Every year for Hanukkah I like to share panels from this special holiday comic I edited when I was on staff at Marvel. There remains a dearth of specifically Hanukkah stories in comics and this one only ever appeared in print once.

Every year I am proud to share and celebrate the light of Hanukkah:

In the Heirs of Finndrigair series, it can vary from region to region. Where Cyril comes from, transgender and non-binary people are called New People, and are not treated much differently from their cis counterparts. (cont)
How are people of marginalized genders viewed in the setting for your book/wip? #WritingPrompt

I did 3 one-day events as an author: Two book fairs and a Pride event. Browseabout Books in Rehoboth beach also accepted me into thier local aurhor programs, which means they carry my first book and I have opportunities to do signings there! #SpoonieAuthChat

Here are the #WIPSnips words for December 8th through December 14th!

Sorry to you WIPSnippians in the future for the slightly late post. It's been one of those days. Plus, I thought I scheduled this one already but hadn't. Whoops!

I think you should buy my trans magical girl novels. They’re full of big feelings and big action and you’re directly supporting me and my work.

One great way to support indie authors is to buy their books at small bookstores! Sword of the Voivode is available at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Consider purchasing it online or in person from them this #shopsmallsaturday

OOF. For Cyril, Daumantas' death would probably set him on a far different path (spoiler, Daumantas will be fine!) Cyril's goal is to live a more peaceful life, and losing his lover would make him drop that goal.
Rudolph would have to lose his will to live entirely.
What would it take for your MC to give up their goals entirely? #WritingPrompt

This is a really well thought out post, and an important one too about trans masc invisibility and the violent regendering we often face.

Excellent list of indie pubs to support. Adding:

@wctracy.bsky.social runs www.spacewizardsciencefantasy.com Queer sci-fi/fantasy stories
@mochamemoirspress.bsky.social diverse speculative fiction
AND
@gdpub.bsky.social stories with LGBTQIA+ characters or written by LGBTQIA+ authors.
2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a 🧵 of em you can support directly:

Love y'all, but muting all the pitch events b/c I'm not an agent and I can never tell which ones are for fun and which ones are intended for agents/publishers to interact with.

The most important thing people can do is support trans folks in their lives, and try and prevent them from becoming a name we read off during Remembrance. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

My high fantasy has a host of feast days to celebrate the lives of the various saints. The biggest in Cyril's home country is the feast of Saint Vodomor, during which people share early summer harvests and participate in various sports and showcase acts of physical agility.
Are there any holidays in your setting? What do they celebrate? what are their origins? #WritingPrompt
