Hi, I'm Sam. I'm mainly here to reblog cool stuff, but I will also be posting links to some of my book reviews & hype up trans/weird/disabled/mad lit over here!
Please always feel free to send me book recs. I read a lot, but there's always great stuff I just haven't found yet!

Hi folks. It's my fault we are in this position. I keep getting sick and Ben keeps having to foot the bill. Please consider supporting him on Patreon or Kofi as he already works his ass off to keep us both afloat. I have commissions open too, though I understand his work is a lot more appealing.

Gonna have to open up some emergency comms, though I won't have capacity for big complicated pieces. Here's some rates if interested!

DMs are open and email is in bio.

Please consider commissioning these two! They created the cover for the final WEREWOLVES VERSUS issue and it still makes me swoon. Look at those WATERCOLOURS

Women want one thing*, and it’s disgusting.

*An Arthuriana-based romantic fantasy where an immortal butch knight faces off against the older sorceress who is the source of her power, at least until she gets impaled and they kiss (... and more)

Alright. Today is my birthday (and tbh it has sucked so far). But. I promised a thread of books by friends. And I am going to make good on that.

Please consider buying books from friends today. Thread below. Storefronts may vary. I'm just linking where I know the books are.

Psst, it’s kinda late but guess what: my book RISE OF THE BATTLEBITCH is free on Kindle for the next dew days!

Humor! Catgirls! Adventure! A big hot trans girl with a sword!

Also, it’s way more romantic than you’d think for a book with a blowjob sandwich as early as chapter two. 🤔

That's what really annoys me about cis romance. You want to write a story about a woman, Miss Sel Finsert, who gets captured by an alien race of hard viking policemen; not my thing, but fine. But have a clue that what you are writing is kink, and relates to real world politics, trauma and desire.

In my experience, trans romance fiction tends to have a degree of intentionality and awareness about how sexuality and desire shapes gender. (That doesn't always make it better, to be clear.)

Cis romance, meanwhile, is usually about the dissonance that arises from desiring that which reviles you.

This is a very sweet (if very Christian-centric) trans-led mutual aid project that connects anonymous gift givers with unhoused or in-foster care trans kids.

Will be at least half a year until our next bundle, and if you know anything about our bundles, it's that they are both excellent value *and* thematically cohesive and well-curated. :)

Only three days left to grab a truly unreasonable deal on toxic lesbian literature! If you're a connoisseur of sicko, you're unlikely to see another opportunity like this for quite some time~

itch.io/b/3364/poiso...
Promo graphic for Toxic Yuri November. Text reads: Danger. Obsession. Deadly lesbains. 24 novels, novellas, and visual novels. The background features an image of a woman on a moonlit street, eyes closed, a gun gripped in both hands and raised near her face, as if preparing quietly for something to come.

hello all semi/nonhuman entities & accomplices, i'm editing a @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social blog series on multispecies / alterhuman writing, and submissions are open now through Dec 15!!!

You should submit something! Especially if you're unpublished! Don't self-reject!

fifthwheelpress.com/blogsubs
submission guidelines: Alterhuman/Multispecies Some people aren’t human. Actually, mostly people aren’t: cats, sharks, trees, rocks, and everyone in between each hold histories and vital relationships that are too often sidelined in favor of anthropocentric narratives. For this call, I want to see stories in which the idea(l) of human individualism is narratively and poetically challenged. Stretch and break the bounds of who is typically afforded a voice; who matters; who counts as an ally in the struggle for collective liberation; and who determines what it means to be a person at all. In addition to more conventionally multispecies/nonhuman narratives, I’m particularly interested in works by/featuring alterhuman characters and themes, and am looking for the complex, imaginative, thoughtful over the polemic/educational. Regular fwp length guidelines apply (up to 1500 words/no more than 3 pages of poetry/hybrid pieces).
