Happy release day @alexp336.bsky.social !!!

#BluePitHype Hi! I'm Ryan and I write taboo gay smut and mushy touchy-feely romance-focused erotica with hints of horror / fantasy and sci-fi (I contain multitudes, and having read Clive Barker at an early age probably explains a lot). I became a writer in 2000 when I wrote my first fanfic!

I want to get weirder with my writing this year. Or at least less afraid of being myself. I feel I've wasted a lot of time doubting myself, not following up on ideas because I thought they weren't "commercial" enough. And they might not be! But that shouldn't be a reason not to write the stories.

Okay, I think it's all set up. Anyone who signs up for my newsletter should get a link to a free copy of Roo's Birthday Surprise now! www.ryandevry.com/newsletter

I've got this cute little story that I'd like to offer as an 'incentive' for signing up for my mailing list, but I have no idea how to actually go about setting that up. Like on a technical level. Ha.

being an author is so ridiculous bc youll look at what other ppl are writing and go "fuck thats so cool i wish i wrote that" then look at your own books and go "FUCK THIS ISNT NEARLY AS COOL" but thats not even true bc it is definitely as cool.

As soon as ChatGPT came out, I knew this "you plagiarized my unique AI prompt!" thing would happen lol. Wrote a short story about it (section 3) even: countercraft.substack.com/p/algorithm-...

oh no I've started watching Ted Lasso and suddenly it's 6 episodes later

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

The ride never ends

What if in 2026 instead of marketing my backlog I froliced in the woods. Forage for mushrooms. Get really into moss.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

We need to stop saying shit like "IP" and "content" when we mean art. Don't let them strip the walls in your own brain, man.

btw, if you're a book reviewer and you enjoy queer romance, I'd love to send you a copy of 'Bodies of Water' It's a m/m age-gap romance about a 38yo guy who thought he'd found The One, reeling after that collapses, and learning how to love (& lust) again. (more details/sample in the link below) 💙📚

Less than 24 hours left! #itchio #wintersale2025 #gaysmut #monsterfuckers A bundle by Ryan DeVry, $7.47 for Bred by the Minotaur, Taming the Minotaur, Tentacle Thrall itch.io/s/177309/win...

The problem with “write whatever you want” is that I want to write a lot of different stuff, which is usually not recommended for people who also want to build an audience.

"No One But Noah", my short and steamy novella about two best friends on a hiking trip, is now available on Amazon! It's got feelings (a bit of angst, a bit of pining, a lot of love) and, of course, plenty of heat! #ku #kindleunlimited #gayerotica #gaysmut www.ryandevry.com/works/no-one...

I don't think you should be able to bet on war crimes. That's just my opinion.

Not to get all political on main but abducting another country's president is not a fucking "regime change".

It's a pretty good feeling when your first new release of the year gets a 5 star Goodreads review within the first 24 hours.

I just think it's a bit grandiose calling it trans ideology when the only discernable unifying goals are to not be killed or deprived of medicine and to be left alone to hyperfixate on their special interests.

If you still want to snag a monster erotica story at a discount but you missed the Smashwords Sale, I have a little Winter Sale going on over at itch.io. Four days left! itch.io/s/177309/win...

20k written on this, might just push through and finish today as a nice close to the year.

Magical college where the students are a mix of humans and creatures like werewolves, vampires and elves. Also everyone is gay or at least curious, and horny all the time.

Oh, hey new gay romance up for preorder! "Bodies of Water" coming January 9th, 2026 Tate's HEA fizzled out; now he's drowning his fears of the future at the bottom of a wine glass. Med student Kai offers an unexpected distraction, but can their fling survive summer's end? [m/m age gap romance] 💙📚

since a lot of people's new year's writing goals seem to centre around adding more erotica and/or abandoning their shame, my essay, Abandoning Shame and Embracing Perversion is relevant once more! and you can read it for free on medium medium.com/@hellostarsh...

Only a couple more days! #eoysale25 #smashwords #booksky #gayerotica #smut #taboo www.smashwords.com/profile/view...

Harry du Bois feeling extremely jealous of and desperate to impress and also outdo Benoit Blanc but distracted by how incredibly horny he is for Blanc and how much he wants to be him and also have sex with him. Says some of this out loud as everyone stares aghast

I'd believe this anecdote because I've met guys like this at conventions. People do ask (politely) about their work and they can't pitch it because what makes it special is that they are the specialest boy. They go to panels and hear queer and BIPOC writers talk about their work and think "ah ha". +

I'm a pretty slow writer with more ideas than time, so whenever I'm working on something there's at least three more stories I feel I should be writing. Argh...

I'm also working on a short sequel to 'Blackmailed by my Baby Brother' because those two gremlins I wrote about almost a year ago now won't leave me alone.

Finishing up a novella that is a little more focused on romance than erotica. I think I like it! I can never really tell, because my mind decides that anything I spend longer than a week on is irredeemable garbage and also so so so very boring oh please can we work on something else already

Maybe next year

A reminder that all my stories are 25% off until the end of this year! www.smashwords.com/profile/view...
