If you’re an early Christmas shopper, don’t forget to support small businesses! Like self-published authors! Everyone likes getting books for Christmas, especially books they’ve never heard of that are right up their alley! Also you can gift copies on itch and elsewhere & send them on Xmas Eve 🎄

Any indies have SF/F/H books coming out in December? I'm building next month's new release post, and there's room for new titles! You can submit the book info using the form below 😊 #booksky #writingcommunity docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I'd like to kick off Trans Awareness Month with 32 stories of Trans People Taking On The World, by mainly trans authors Your heroes may tackle; love, friendship, magic &war, self discovery, trauma & healing, demons (literal or metaphorical 😉) & or the world itself! 🌈📚💙💕📚🪐📚♿ itch.io/b/3352/trans...

There's no such thing as #1 Pinned Post🧵 to rule them all, but I shall post it nonetheless. It'll be gay, neurodiverse & beyond the binary. For those who wander but are not lost & ponder "what if"? It'll contain my books of the above, Final Fantasy +Narnia inspired, &invite All Writers to Discord👇

This is a very good thread.

May you have what you need for your Monday quests (and I certainly need some coffee for mine!)

#WritingLifeMonthly 10-3 My desk in all its glory! Backgrounds shown are from #4thewords and the collection of small things grows weekly 😂 Looking at putting a 3rd monitor up but my PC apparently can’t handle that at the moment (so I wait)

Update for Authors: I've expanded this Itch bundle from trans main character as per the screenshot, to include trans LI, especially if the author is trans. 📦📚

Hello, I'm Sue, I write hopeful #climatefiction cuz HOLY HELL we need a way out of this mess. Website: many novels, much short stories NEW: Bright Green Futures! (stories from guests of the pod) I wish more people would read (free): SLIMY THINGS DID CRAWL lnk.to/SlimyWebsite #booksky #solarpunk

...I don't think I like organization my writing/projects folder 🤣 *Achievement Unlocked* Word Hoarder Have more than 1 million written words in WIPs (specifically 1,394,881 words 🤯) *Achievement Unlocked* You Gonna Finish That? Have more than 25 WIPs that you're "working on." (it's 34💀)

It's Friday! (or at least, for me it is) - Sending out good luck to any who want/need it!

#PlotTober 2: Post-Apocalypse Community Post Themes: Community, support, thriving together, overcoming odds *because* of being together. Tropes: Scavenger world, Unstoppable Mailman Character job(s): Couriers! The question is if I want to make it cozy, LitRPG, or "regular" post-apocalypse 🤔

*waves hello!* I'm Coffee Quills, a writing gremlin who works on multiple WIPs at once (in varying genres) ☕ I'm going to try using #PloTober to figure out where I went wrong in my post-apocalyptic book Post-Apocalypse Community Post. I wrote it before I learned the best way outlines work for me 😅

November is Trans Awareness Month. But that title seems ill-fit to current politics, so I chose a better one for the Itch book bundle I'm hosting Nov 1-14. Authors, if your MC is trans (yes including nonbinary!) and your book meets the criteria bellow, let me know and I'll DM you the sign up form!

I don’t really read a lot of romance, so I’m gonna ask for recs: I’m looking for a lesbian cis/trans romance which is *not* about going through transition, and where it’s the trans woman who is getting pursued. POV doesn’t really matter. And yes, I did read Dulhaniyaa, right after it released. :)

My writing career summed up in one image:

Want to know more about me? Here's a new poster! Hint: I'm easy to get 😉 I love hedgehogs, minerals, sea slugs, Fallout (the game), & steampunk. I can be found all over social medias, some more constantly than others. And I love #writing! Many Quills - Many Genres! www.amazon.com/stores/autho...

Book Quote Wednesday! (or Thursday for us future timezone peeps)! "Hard" is the word. In Scavenged Ghosts, there're plenty of hard choices, though friendship is easy. Free to read in KU & available as an ebook on Amazon. books2read.com/scavengedgho... #bookqw #BookQuoteWednesday #BQW 🪐📚💙

#OctoberWorldBuilders 10-1: Deserts I'm going to focus on the Red Trail Desert, though it's not the only one in the area and truth be told, not that many people live in the area. My main characters will eventually run into this place though, so I'm happy to be thinking about now! #amwriting #wip

Be the Mothman you wish to see in the world

Oh hi. I know I've done a ton of marketing lately, so I'll keep this short. My books are part of @smashwords.bsky.social's Summer/Winter sale. Both Kotov Syndrome and Woodpusher are 50% off in July on their site. www.smashwords.com/books/byseri...

#JulyWorldbuilders Week 1 1. Current Wars in wip I'm being slightly cheeky in calling the Greed Wars a war. It's a "war on greed" like how we Americans had a "war on terrorism" and a "war on drugs" They knew they could never defeat 'greed' but they did their best and destroyed a lot along the way

Allen Ashley is training his eye on classic genre films, looking at not just the film but the context in which they were released. For this first instalment in his new blog series, he's crawling around 1954's Them! britishfantasysociety.org/classic-genr...

*shares some coffee with whoever needs it*

Um, apparently I just won two Locus Awards, which is great! Except that somebody had to read my acceptance speeches, which were about sloth poop and canine transmissible venereal tumors, and can someone tell me who read those so that I can send them an apology fruit basket?

WE CAN MAKE THE INTERNET FUN AGAIN THAT IS WITHIN OUR POWER MAKE A WEBSITE PUT ALL YOUR DUMB SHIT ON IT SHARE IT
