#QueerWritersChat Question Five: Self promo/outros! Interact with, boost others, and feel free to answer the questions late! DO NOT promo until after you participated in the chat! Theo will be hosting next week! @theodoresnapdragon.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

Had to dig around a bit for this one! It's not specifically 'childhood' and more 'pre-vampire', which is as close as I could get without spoilers. #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky

Oh absolutely! Reading and writing have been the cornerstone of my interests my whole life. Some of my favourite books are ones I read as a kid. I've still got a couple (shitty) stories I wrote in notebooks kicking around #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky

Growing up in a vampire coven is never easy, especially as a trans person. There's this community... only if you follow all the rules. From a young age, Ernest had to accept a role that he didn't choose for himself, but still follows in the present day #QueerWritersChat #queerwriters #WriteSky

Hey #QueerWritersChat! I'm Milo (he/xe) and I'm currently working on a t4t vampire/werewolf horromance. I've always got a few projects on the go, but this is the one I'm currently focused on writing #QueerWriters #WriteSky

I'm a firm believer that you'll work on the right WIP at right time, because I needed some t4t vampire/werewolf horromance. It's fueling my soul

promo thread time!!! Talk about a book, game, piece of art, music, etc made by trans people that you really liked. Talk about how it made you feel and things it made you think about. I’ll repost it and you should look through and repost things too.

i am Very Gay

Lets do a promo day! If you're a trans author then share your work here and tell people how best to support it :) #WritingPrompt

If you're a nonbinary, two spirit, trans, or gender diverse #SPFBO entrant, comment with a link to your work and I'll share! #SPFBOXI Let's drown out the terf wizard garbage #transrightsreadathon

For no particular reason: support trans people and trans rights

Yeeeaaahhh

We even make videos now, which you can watch instead of #harrypotter Quote with your favourite trans movies/shows/vloggers! #transdayofvisibility

"Of course." They cooed, "Oh, and Ernest? Save this number." May or may not have been in the middle of writing a flirtatious back-and-forth 😳 #WriteSky

Facing one of my biggest writing insecurities in my current WIP: sex scenes

Just a reminder that AI sucks and is possibly the stupidest "invention" within the last few years and yes I hate you personally if you use it

Tapping this sign again

Excellent word for today's #WipSnips! I got to indulge by sharing one of my favourite locations in the manor! I love it so much #TSOWM #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I love writing my silly little stories about my silly little gay characters

In case you missed it yesterday, my new novelette is out! If you're looking for a quick read with a heartfelt journey of self discovery consider taking a look at it over on itch.io voicesofvalhoon.itch.io/without-wings

Following the mini-theme I've adopted tonight, characters are a big one. Especially if it's first person POV. I want to be able to relate to/understand the characters, which is already hard if they're going on a fantasy quest. They should feel like people! #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky

I try to make the characters as realistic as I can, despite the fantastical circumstances they might be in. For me, it just adds a level of relatability that otherwise wouldn't be there #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky

I love when characters make smart choices. Cheesy answer, I know, but I'm always sucked into a book when a character doesn't just make a decision because the plot dictates it #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky

Heyyy!!! I'm Milo (he/xe). I haven't participated in #QueerWritersChat in so long!! Currently writing a vampire/werewolf T4T horromance while my sapphic gothic suspense is off with some very lovely beta readers :] #QueerWriters #WriteSky

one more week for Hugo noms if you'd like to nominate my queer cozy fantasy about an old man cursed with immortality, ghosts, and grief

Q6: Do you have any recent or upcoming publications? Share them here, and be sure to include links if you have them! (No AI, and please add alt text to all images) #WeeknightWriters

Not necessarily my life, but March 17-31st is the #TransRightsReadathon! Supporting trans people by reading is sick as hell, and I (a trans person) am always stoked to have people support me/my community :] #WeeknightWriters

Gonna try and take more time to read in the day. I've been neglecting that, and I need a good brain detox. #WeeknightWriters

I did a networking event last night (over zoom, bleh) with trans and gnc people in the film industry. I was super nervous, but it went great with minimal technical issues! #WeeknightWriters

Currently struggling to balance comedy with the other serious themes of my wip. It's just early-draft-awkwardness, but I find the balance to be jarring. #WeeknightWriters

Uhm! I am... doing, for sure. :) A mix of extreme ups and major downs, so kinda all over the place, but that evens out to a nice middle-ground... right? #WeeknightWriters

Bit of a late drop-in, but hey! I'm Milo (he/xe). Currently working on my WIP from #FirstDraftFall while my sapphic gothic suspense is off with beta readers (and querying my cosmic horror ough). Been keeping myself busy! #WeeknightWriters

Commissions are open! Inquire in DM's for more details

Heavily debated whether or not to join in on the #WipSnips today. I don't have 'addition' but I do have 'add'. While not the most interesting snip in the world, it's the one with the least spoilers. #TSOWM #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Trying to do some of that promo thing I hear authors are required to do to sell books or something 🤣 This and other poisonings can be found in The Wings of Ashtaroth! For those who like their fantasies dark and their books long! books2read.com/u/49dn8Y steve-westenra.itch.io/the-wings-of...

No one asked, but I have a fantasy crime duology out with a snarky chaos bisexual thief who has magic PTSD and has to deal with an eldritch urban legend that’s become terrifying real. (And also a spunky preteen apprentice that won’t leave him alone.) linktr.ee/tamiolsen

Hey guys I am kinda low on money right now and I have commissions open so uhhh... If anyone wants Very Cool Art?? #digitalart #artcommissions #oc #commissions

In case you're wondering, here's an handy (but ugly) little graphic godless.com/collections/... books2read.com/AidenEMesser aiden-e-messer.itch.io

Don't forget about this bundle! My first book The Assassins Raven is in it.

extremely true since I've actually seen authors say "of COURSE I would never use genAI for my writing! but I'll use it for character art and that's fine" 🫠

I know this is evil of me to say but one of my biggest motivators is spite and boy howdy am I motivated right now

I'm putting together a post of indie and self-published SFF by trans and non-binary authors if anyone would like to be added! (If I miss you for the post, I can also add you to my LGBTQIA+ collection!)

#TransRightsReadathon begins today! If you're looking for queer/trans romance by a genderqueer author, you've come to the right post! 💜 Want more recs? Check out this promo, full of amazing trans and nonbinary authors! books.bookfunnel.com/transrightsr... 📚💙🌈💜📚

Reminder that modern day Ireland is still occupied by colonizers

I want to write a little something every day. I've already blown my monthly goal out of the water, and I want to keep up the momentum. Other than that? Try to keep a positive attitude (things are weird right now) #queerwriters #lgtbqwriters #WritingCommunity

🩸COMING SOON! Love in a Void: A Hannibal Enamel Pin Collection Celebrate your love for Hannibal Lecter, Will Graham, or both of them together with these metallic red enamel pins. Go here for more info: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ell...

Horror winning big this year is so beautiful. Underrated, powerful, moving genre... It’s not just about fear, it’s about disgust, shitty social norms, science gone wrong, it’s about deconstructing horrific realities. My favorite genre recognized. #Oscars

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1085 If you read reviews, know this: they're not intended for you to read. If they're good, all the better. If they're bad, don't complain. Don't bite. Even if they're unfair, ad hominem, or simply plain wrong, just don't. You'll never look like the good guy.
