#QueerPrompts Curses or bad luck?

Sort of? In the #Christmas WIP, Noelle breaks a magical snow globe. it starts their adventure, but without a way to fix it, the pocket dimension also starts cracking.

Whisper: It's still October.

It's #Caulktober. We're discussing cock-owners who've received blow jobs.

Most in my published works have received blow jobs. The only exceptions might be Percival, the costume designer in "These Dresses Have Pockets," and Remo Belli, the asexual baker in Let's Bake a Deal. (Remo will eventually.)

Game board with an autumn leaves and vegetables background. There are prompts for every day in October. The text reads: Cocktober 2025 [#Caulktober] Tell us about your cock-owning character who... [day 9] has received a blow job.

This amuses me so much! I wonder how far you could spin "Call" titles.

Wake up Call of Cthulu? (for the morning after)
Uh...

Call Center Cthulu (for all the phone sex needs)

Take those titles if you want. Ideas are cheap, and I'm having fun. :)

JD Cadmon @jdcadmon.bsky.social · 4h

Booty Call of Cthulu is a genius title!

Took my lunch break and 25 minutes to do some novelette editing. My hardest stuggle with anything is starting.

So I started. I hope I can get this to my editor before the weekend. Now, if she lets herself take Thanksgiving off, that's on her. At least I know I'm done with it.

My toxic trait is saying "ugh, this pen is terrible, I hate it," then putting it back into my bag instead of getting rid of it.

#QueerPrompts There are too many lesbians to choose!

I was inspired by a different user's Gif, though and wanted to share one of Ava Sharpe from DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Here she's flirting in vid chat with bi queen Sara Lance. [I couldn't find any gifs of her fighting, but she's fierce!]

#LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters Genre of the WIP?

I'll be doing different pieces through the month/end of year. The one that I'm fiddling with *right now* is a Christmas portal fantasy romance. At least I'm supposed to be. Fighting my own inertia.

Will be working on a specfic next.

Today's #Caulktober is about magical powers.

In my Feral Spark series (inspired by X-Men and Anne McCaffrey's Talents universe), Eric Logan is the first of the Energy Shifters, who control one of 5 possible aspects. He controls Electricity with a thought and makes orgasms for fun.

Same!

My best writing colleagues are the ones I've met online. I do have a local writer group who are full of friends, but most of my growth as a writer has happened because of the help of my online friends.

JD Cadmon @jdcadmon.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting! I'm wondering about dinosaurs now, even if that has nothing to do with your story.

JD Cadmon @jdcadmon.bsky.social · 1d

Impressed with the elaborate setting!

JD Cadmon @jdcadmon.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you so much! Hoping for a quick, light read if I can get through revisions. (Even though I know it's for the good of the story, I have no energy for it.)

#LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters Setting and time of WIP

My main setting for the #Christmas WIP is in a an Edwardian village inside a set of snow globes. The village is stuck on a permanent Christmas. The characters don't know it until 2 from our world/time accidentally crash into it.

#QueerPrompts National Inner Beauty Day

Firstly, I'm always amazed at the Days CJ is able to find! Thanks for being a great game host.

But to the question... I think I do in general terms, but in the #Christmas story that needs revision, no, not at all.

Any shapeshifters in my #caulktober? Certainly!

Jason, the werewolf lead of the Feral Spark series, can shift into a wolf form at will, except during the full moon when he MUST look like a wolf. His caulk does not do knotting. I know that can be found in some stories. Nothing I ever wanted to write

No coaches right now. Have thought of having a music coach at one point.

It's funny to me because it was just a natural extension of those characters. Both my main series so far have poly relationships at the center of them all, even if I haven't written yet to the parts where that happens, I know that's where it's headed.

JD Cadmon @jdcadmon.bsky.social · 3d

Poly relationships in my #Caulktober? Quite likely, actually.

In the Feral Spark series, Jason (werewolf) and Eric (energy shifter) will be in a relationship with each other and Jason's wife, Miranda (also an energy shifter).

Adam the drummer is in a poly relationship with Stephanie & DeAnna.
