Yo. So. Fark.com is a wonderful site. It was one of the first sites I spent significant time on because weird news amused teen me. I met some lovely people there and folks there were (and are) incredibly supportive of my writing and of me as a trans person. Support them if you can

friends, please: don’t use transreads dot org they claim to support trans authors, but take our entire texts, post them for free, fundraise off it, and have the gall to claim it’s about preservation they are literally taking money from trans creators and make it harder for us to keep creating

Imagine writing a book and people loving it 😘👌 #booksky #writersky #authorsky #fantasybooks

Cool Patreon news, and a side note about Cloudflare now having more specific blocking options for AI crawlers (e.g. you could allow search crawlers and block agent/training). Need to check if that's available on CF's free tier. www.404media.co/patreon-clou...

As a writer of affection-based SFF porn, I exist to uplift my readers' hearts as well as their erectile tissue.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

Writing Queernormative Worlds: World Building Workshop Did you miss my Queernormative World Building Workshop? Here's a post with the ideas I talked about, with loads of questions… https://cmrosens.com/2026/07/17/writing-queernormative-worlds-world-building-workshop/ #WritingCommunity #WriteSky 🌈📚

guys, taco bell is the only place that reported the parasite on their lettuce because the trump administration decided companies don't have to report it anymore. that means taco bell is likely one of the safest places because they cared enough to report it anyway. don't be fuckin marks.

This whole thread. I got rid of 99c first in series & upped the price for the rest of the series this year. I lowered Dragon Next Door to $3.99 as an experiment to see if i could entice readers to starting there. People still only buy it when it's on sale 🙄 I'll be raising prices every new year now

not to brag but my subscribestar income went from almost 400 dollars a month down to 200 dollars a month in the span of a few weeks which is kind of scary, so hey, if you like what I do, maybe tell someone? I've been doing more writing work than ever for less income than ever! It's not great!

hate to be a realist on main but jesus christ, scoob i can't stress enough, the best way to help an indie artist is to REC THE WORK. i have literally never in my life gotten a new subscriber by saying "i'm too poor to live" but i DO get new readers when someone excitedly reviews my books

I really hope TNN can hit $7,000 before this weekend's out — we're about $500 away right now — on our fundraiser. We're trying to keep the lights on and, if things go well, start badly-needed fellowships for particularly marginalized trans journalists.

#WeeknightWriters Help me keep momentum on Rock Gods; I’d like to actually see a project from start to finish without dropping it halfway through because I got bored.

#WeeknightWriters Start apartment hunting and planning for a move to cut down my hellish commute. That’s my biggest problem right now.

#WeeknightWriters My dentist appointment was successful! I also managed to write the first 1.6k words of Rock Gods and got some really great feedback during a critique event.

#WeeknightWriters Doing anything that isn’t work. Thanks to overtime, I had to get up at 4AM to be out the door by 5 for an hour long commute, clock in at 6AM, and then work until 4:30 PM. I desperately need to write and talk to people about writing.

#WeeknightWriters It’s hot. Air quality bad. Haven’t gotten my paycheck. Worked six hours of mandatory overtime this week only for it to be canceled. Had a dentist appointment on Monday. Really looking forward to hitting my friends with foam swords this weekend.

#WeeknightWriters Hello, I’m Zack Prince. He/him, writer of queer and trans erotica. Current WIP is Rock Gods of the Underworld (formerly SMASHED,) my transhet urban occult erotica!

Bought a commission today and the artist told me that I’d basically just paid their bills for the week so always remember that having artists draw porn of your favorite characters is a noble cause

Rather sick of hearing from that disgusting bigoted hatemonger, how about we try and raise up some trans folks instead? If you are trans and are an artist, writer, gamedev, musician, or creative of some variety? Reply below with links to your work(s)! Only one rule - strictly no generative AI.

🩷🖤🌶️ GENDERFREAK JAM 🌶️🖤🩷 Do YOU like spicy stories that get freaky with gender? Do you like when trans people get nasty? When old men simp pathetically? Femdoms? For the lovely freaks like you, I’m hosting the 🌶️ Genderfreak Jam 🌶️ from Aug 15-Nov 15! itch.io/jam/genderfr... #genderfreakjam🌶️

As always—let us consult the Yu-Gi-Oh! memes, but on International Non-Binary People’s Day.

I hope those load bearing followers know how much they mean to artists. Regulars, esp regular commenters that engage your work and story do not go without notice and are to be cherished. It's esp why I try to reply to let them know! (and why I wish I could keep track of any I've missed replying to )

This is an older blog post I did for Indie Authors, but as I've done a massive post-D2D poor tax update (and a post-Amazon/ Itchio & Kobo & Libraries update), I'll share again. It also now covers Direct ebook & paperback sales via Payhip, integrated with Bookvault.
