❄️Two Nerds in a Trench Coat❄️
@aswatsonwrites.bsky.social
Hey there! We are two nerds in a trench coat, coauthoring LGBTQ+ action/adventure and magical realism fiction with diverse representation.

Come on in, ask us anything, and stick around for the stories!
Ahhhhh okay thanks for clarifying! I panicked for a moment. Tho I dont think ive ever called my stuff "clean", I totes wont now. Esp bc closed door/no sex isn't "better" then open door all the sex. I support the latter and I write the former.

That's a really thoughtful and helpful reply, thank you! We have 3 WIPS together currently & all 3 are likely to be at least duologies. But, I also value our friendship above all else, so I want to preserve that. I'll look into co-publishing, I hadn't thought of that! Thanks again!

*people making toast wrong* has me giggling. now i'm curious!

[2/2] I'm worried that two authors on the cover of a fiction book might be off-putting, for stylistic reasons. Two people rarely write in the same style and that can be jarring. Our partnership is seamless, magically.

What are your thoughts? Feel free to RB for wider audience participation😀

okay, that's good to know that booktube is a thing. I know booktok could get toxic. I'll have to investigate shorts. I tried making an intro video, and i'm stuck on editing it into something cohesive. 😜 I *can* do it, but it's a *process*

yes yes yes!! I'm a qpr "romance" style writer. I start with a meet-cute (or a meet-ugly, there's the one with the werewolf) and then flow to bffs to "something else" (but not "something more" because fuck the idea that romance > platonic relationshps)

[3/3] Now that I'm redoing Unbreakable ( #Cursed ), while Tristan is still white, Nix, the POV character and second MC, is black, as is his aunt and aunt's wife. It's important to me to have diversity of race in addition to queer identities. Next step: body positive rep!

[2/3] Still, Liam, the MC is a white (trans) man. Wardens of the Veil started out w/ a whitewashed cast as well, and I took the time to sit with the characters and ask them who they really were. Emmi is a black woman, and Mya is a black genderfluid individual. Both are MCs.

I've been wondering about some of this myself. I'm scared of TT because of *gestures wildly* but i don't knw where to try and gain traction.

Yay! Sometimes I worry people with think im being facetious but I genuinely love cheerleading others!
February 7, 2026 at 4:25 PM
That's *such* a good feeling!! I'm so excited for you! (genuinely....i get really excited when other people are having good things happening!)
