I promise you there are no politics in my science fantasy JRPG about *checks smudged ink on paw* a bunch of queer critters and people connected across time and space trying to stop a biohazard that wasn't properly disposed of and a straight man who is mad he can't have children from ending the world

I promise you there are no politics in my horror fantasy game featuring an asexual man and his four queer friends struggling through the pressures of a cis- hetero- allo-normative society and learning to accept and forgive (and eat) themselves and each other throughout the horrors along the way.

saw discussion about how a lot of indies are funded by larger corporations & we need government funding for the arts, so i wanted to share this article about how gov funding can fail to actually reach creators often it just ends up going straight to the corpos who know how to apply

I promise you there are no politics in my science fantasy about a woman, her wife, and a trans woman overcoming deadly storms and a killer sea to save their home from complete destruction because previous generations’ decisions created a hostile, deadly world.

I promise you there’s no politics in my supernatural dystopian where a genderqueer person teams up with a demon king to take on the government because satanic panic was the true evil all along. Did I mention it was a dystopian?

I promise you there are no politics in my fantasy book about a guy working as a healer in the poorest and most neglected district of a fantasy city, encountering a plague that is ignored by the ruling authority and having to fight for the dignity and safety of the people the governor wants to erase.

I promise you there are no politics in my series about cats deconstructing their xenophobic belief system that using magic is a sign of evil at worst and laziness at best, which encouraged them to stamp out any sign of it up to and including kidnapping kittens from their possibly magical parents!

I promise you there are no politics in my sci fi adventure feat. two queer runaways trying to regain control over their lives (and bodies) from the federation, and the gay vampire who accidentally adopts them & who absolutely has no qualms killing anyone furthering the federation's aims.

A deadbeat guitarist's bad night only gets worse when he's thrust into hell, seraphs demanding his sacrifice. His only hope is another angel, one with eyes he used to know... BE NOT AFRAID, my angelic horror novella, is available in ebook & paperback! 👁️ books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

Hi! I'm H.S. Kallinger, a disabled, queer author of SFF novels, particularly sci-fantasy. My works are character-driven, trope-kicking, and unapologetically queer. I have two big series, one published, and one ongoing. Lost Humanity is psych/urban sci-fantasy, & Found Humanity is LGBTQ sci-fantasy.

Indies are producing the most unique, interesting work out there not because they aren't trying to make money, but because they (we) have nothing to lose. However, how many times they can take that chance is dependent on money. We're churning innovation, and there are a lot of dead ends.
