Doing some impulse prompt fiction from bed, fun times as a writer #writersky www.tumblr.com/transcendrag...

It is a surreal experience getting Hazbin Hotel songs stuck in my head when I’ve never seen a single episode. Especially because I know all of them thanks to my partner’s enthusiasm and car sound system

The SAVE Act is bad. While lots of people are talking about the ID portion, It creates a criminal cause of action to put election workers in prison for (even accidentally) registering someone to vote without ID. campaignlegal.org/update/what-...

#QueerWritersChat Most of my main characters are bi men who have M/M romances, which is honestly just some projection from me. The side characters can vary a lot, though! August’s sister from August Out of Time is bisexual and polyamorous, dating a guy and also a lesbian character, for example.

#QueerWritersChat Making sure there’s chemistry is always difficult! I’m always paranoid there isn’t and it’s hard. One time I wrote a romance in a short story and all my betas said they read as friends. I’m demiromantic so I struggle with any instant chemistry, I understand slow burns much better.

#QueerWritersChat Not so far, but it is present. Izak’s boyfriend is gone by the time Mage By Blood starts and there’s more urgent stuff happening in Unintended Designs. For August from August Out of Time there is romantic drama, but it’s not a focus. Been debating trying to write a romance, though.

I’m Theodore Snapdragon: writer, artist, and #QueerWritersChat co-host! I mostly write SFF, but considering some romance. I’m posting my fantasy novel Mage By Blood. I’m also querying my urban fantasy mystery August Our of Time and scifi horror Unintended Designs! Drafting WIP Draconic Procedures.

Welcome to #QueerWritersChat! Our theme this week is: Romance! (Or lack of) Questions will also be reposted to @queerwriters.bsky.social. Remember to use the hashtag so we can see your answers! Save promo for the outro, please! Introductions at :05! @theodoresnapdragon.bsky.social #QueerWriters

A guide August Out of Time, one of the novels I’m querying! I was inspired to make this guide in Canva when I saw other writers making guides like these on BlueSky, like motthepaladin, enemes, and catherinewinters.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

There’s one person I know of who verifiably did look up once in the bathroom mirror to find a pale, naked creature that wasn’t there before, standing directly behind him. Something out of a horror movie, but it happened. I know it happened. How do I know? I was the creature.

Video games are so nice. The rewards are guaranteed, the more time and effort you put in the more rewards you WILL get. In real life you can end up grinding away for literally nothing and no rewards are guaranteed.

This is a grim look inside the machine in Minnesota—and what happens when people are immediately removed to Texas.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards! Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

Going for walks, one of the greatest joys of life tbh Also great for brainstorming! #writerlife

I’m doing a small campaign for my eco-horror “Monoculture” for the Locus Awards! Check out the links in the alt text of the image. :) Also, try the #QueerWritersChat on Friday! Not horror, but I have my fantasy novel Mage By Blood on Royal Road: www.royalroad.com/fiction/1453 #HorrorWritersChat

I fear my bedroom closet, the childhood worry that never left. As an adult, I imagine someone living in there, watching me. I push myself to look inside, there… is the body. My sin laid bare. I close the door, stepping back. I let cloudy fear take over again, obscuring memories. #HorrorWritersChat

For some reason this post was weirdly hard for me to find. Anyway, An area I’ve never written in, and may never, is sexuality as horror, especially dubious/non-consensually. It’s an intense subject that I do think about, but it’s sensitive and I wouldn’t want to mess it up. #HorrorWritersChat

Uh, did I miss Q2? Anyway, I’ve been putting off dealing with pronouns in my current fantasy WIP because I suspect it will make it less publishable and potentially limit the audience. I hate feeling this tension around how visibly genderqueer my work is, but I still feel it. #HorrorWritersChat

Hi, I’m Theodore Snapdragon, queer SFF writer, including spec horror. I’ve always been fascinated by horror; it’s so intense. I struggle with anxiety, clinical levels of it. Horror gives an outlet to express and share, to be with others in my experience of fear rather than alone. #HorrorWritersChat

I Should Be Writing Right Now - the next in my series of writing designs! This is my mood like, 90% of the time. My original Procreate art #newart #artsky #bskyartists #writing #writingmood #writerlife #writersky #writingcommunity #justwriterthings #ishouldbewritingrightnow #writingtime #amwriting

.... I just... I will just never understand the measures to which some publishers will go to avoid doing right by the writers who actually make the stuff they build their magazine out of. This ain't it.

I’m doing the world’s smallest Locus write-in campaign, but you can make it slightly bigger by reading, sharing, and voting! bsky.app/profile/theo... Mage By Blood is getting a new chapter later today! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1453... Also Valentines art bsky.app/profile/theo... #QueerWritersChat

#QueerWritersChat There’s this out of context quote that’s a reaction to a reveal (not the biggest one, but big to this character): bsky.app/profile/theo... In “Mage By Blood”, Izak responds to one of his biggest reveals with deep horror and regret In “August Out of Time”, August gives a reveal…

#QueerWritersChat Question Four: Write/share a scene of your characters reacting to a big reveal in the story. Last question at :45! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

#QueerWritersChat Mage By Blood: Izak is a government mage on a mission when his team is kidnapped by [REDACTED], where they’re [REDACTED] and he discovers [REDACTED]. When he’s finally rescued by [REDACTED], he finds new trouble. When they [REDACTED], he [REDACTED], but ultimately must [REDACTED].

Hi #QueerWritersChat! I’m Catherine, writing about queer people and the various crimes they get up to. Currently working on finishing my gunpowder fantasy about magic-using teen pickpockets and the walking, talking, complaining clockwork doll they find in a cellar.

I'm Sage. I'm currently working on shorts (a drabble and a longer piece), and my most recent WIP was about an aroace love witch protecting her undead skeleton brother #QueerWritersChat

#QueerWritersChat Question Three: Write a summary of your work with all your spoilers included as [REDACTED]! Next question at :35! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #lgbtq #redactedspoilers

Hey, #QueerWritersChat it's been a hot minute! Fridays are hard for me. How is everyone? I'm Artemis Quinn, I write dark fantasy, romance, and horror. I have a lot of WIPs right now. Yule Parlay - sapphic pirates with a vampire captain Such Sweet Sorrow - grief horror Aloe - modern dark fantasy

I’m Bethany, I write queer fantasy literary fiction, and I’m working toward publishing Balances, which is the story of a renegade Demonslayer finding where he belongs. #queerwriterschat #writesky #writingcommunity

#QueerWritersChat Mage By Blood and my current WIP are fairly easy to discuss. What I’m querying, my urban fantasy August Out of Time and scifi horror Unintended Designs, are harder. August Out of Time is a mystery with big twists, and several whole characters are spoilers for Unintended Designs!

#QueerWritersChat #RelicWorld Hi-aye, Queer Writers' chat! This fortnight I am working on "Living Water," the story of how the sacred spring became a center of worship for many centuries and a handful of different faith traditions

Hiya #QueerWritersChat, I'm Jubilee, I'm a trans woman who writes nerdy stories for nerds. My novel Savage as You is a dark yet humorous Isekai novel about a trans girl in high school who is gifted a method of visiting a bizarre new realm. Escapism, she'll find, isn't quite what she hoped it to be.

Heya #QueerWritersChat! ! I'm Olivia. Biracial, bisexual, blue streak in my hair. Under my own name I write illustrated ethnobotany. Under O.E. Tearmann I write about escaping dystopia. Right now I've got a hopeful queer get-out-of-cyberpunk series out, and I'm working on a YA solarpunk.

Hello #QueerWritersChat! I'm Cherry (she/her). Just wrapped up a birthday party, and now I'm settling in for some more words on my latest novel!

#QueerWritersChat I’m Theodore Snapdragon, a queer writer, artist, and host for today’s chat! I’m posting a new chapter on Royal Road for Mage By Blood today, continuing with my fantasy WIP Draconic Procedures, and have started the tiniest write in campaign for my story for the Locus Awards.
