Hey, I'm Nina – an intersex, trans, genderqueer, Asian-American, angry-cat-in-a-paper-bag. I do Japanese and Chinese to English translation work, kinky lesbian fiction, a little shibari rope bondage instruction, and fangirl over my fave writers. Too much? No? Then you might be in the right spot.

#LGBTQWriteAThon 15 Oct: What's your MC's favorite treat?

Ellyn: 💋 A night with the captain, the witch, and the explosives expert

Fleur: 💃 A night away from court politics, which is all I write for her so that's probably good

Wisteria: 🛠️ She loves her work. Bliss is wrist-deep in a girl's chassis

#WIPSnips 15 Oct: Care

This is an excerpt from Kink Spring which you can read for free on my site or Itch. CW: 🌶

I suppressed a giggle and the desire to fling myself among the soft sheets and pillows. It was so easy to slip from the confines of society when she was near, whispering her desires in a firm voice. I wanted to be hers. I wanted to jump, laugh, and be free to yell her name with all of my voice. Instead, I reveled in the forbidden game that was all we had with each other. I sat carefully on the edge of the fluffy down mattress, crossed my legs, and lifted the many layers of my skirts.

I worry for the bloke that has to go through my dayjob browser history.

"What the heck is a Babymonster? Are AMVs still a thing? Why does she play Nemik's Manifesto over and over again on certain days? Is there an Owl in her House or something? So many boring chemistry papers."

I'm working from home today and she's coming home for lunch! Put on a good shirt. Get lube and my new harness out. This is gonna be fast but totally doable. 😏

Reality: she didn't want to poo at work, cat knocks over a fizzy drink, make sure ttrpg stuff is drying properly, talk about paperwork. Ugh.

It's a window of time though, right? You can see light at the end of the tunnel? You got this.

And if nothing else, at least you're smoking hot while doing it all.

"I welcome the challenge." The enormous woman limped to the front of the room and grinned like a wolf. "So which one of you thinks they can take me?"

Blondie glanced my way, eyebrows up. I shook my head. Then Princess turned in her seat to stare directly at me. I felt my stomach drop. #WIPSnips

I did not expect any politician to make me misty in-a-good-way On National Coming Out day this year. Can't express how much I needed this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I hope the track list includea Transgender for Everyone. I'm sick of that being a live-performance-only song.

The Guardian running a trans coming out story on the main page that's mostly positive? What year is this? Did I wake up in a better timeline? Wait, do I have a skill menu? No? Pants.

She was a sweetheart, but when I told her they were Trevor Project socks she didn't know what that was. I quickly changed the subject to her elaborate backpack. She wasn't gay. She was Belgian. 🤦‍♀️

Speaking of cute fits, how'd the scary angel skirt work out?

Me: Oh she's cute.

Her: "Hey, nice boots."

Me: Yes, notice me.

Her: "Are those... unicorn 🦄 socks?"

Me: Crap. No. Stop noticing me! Stoppit!
