I do use a pseudonym for gender reasons.
Reason? It’s dangerous being trans, writing trans. It spares me casual doxing. (I'm am sure anyone who really wanted to track me down could. I’m not so careful about the bread crumbs I let drop.)
Happy new pornography day, everypony! In addition to being more printable and more compressed, I have a hot new story for you!
We got princesses, we got maids, we got erotic TF pills, we got gay roommates who are making out, and we got more in Everlass Side Story: Princess Pills!
Re-doing the pinned post for signing up for my newsletter because I don't like the way it looks. I fixed it dammit!

It has taken me a long time to find a voice for an MC trans narrator. I have had trans SCs but my WIP is the first where the narrator MC isn't cis.
There were several reasons.
1. There are parts of life as trans that I prefer not to dwell on. The fear, otherness, the need to always be looking over your shoulder. And I am not the kind of author who glosses over these things. My stories don't take place in Avalon.
2. I write romances and sexuality is messy for a lot of us. It certainly has been for me.
3a. Not wanting to have to prove I had a right to write trans characters. I am an open trans, but generally don't talk much about it. And of course reasons 1 and 4.
3b. Fear of being challenged about how "genuine" my character is. I have already received a polite question about the fact my MC is a butch transfem.
4. Fear of backlash from the haters. There are places I used to promote my stories that I have dropped now that my MC is trans for this very reason. There is that looking-over-your-shoulder stuff again.
6. And yes it's easy. I don't have to explain things. I don't have to worry am I under or over-explaining things.

New Substack x Tumblr post is here!
This week I am talking a bit more about what I've been up to in Fallout 4 and sharing a bunch of screenshots, plus I am looking at starting to do some regular Twitch streams (follow me @ https://twitch.tv/gamerswift)!

surreal, fiction - bird harm
I also have a recently (like, today recent!) refreshed Tumblr where I have shared this post, and will share all future free-tier posts natively as well! I haven't got a great solution for importing everything over there yet, but it will always be available on Substack.
surreal, fiction - bird harm
so it's been a minute since I posted about my substack, innit? in my new post up today, I'm talking about and sharing a little thing I wrote last week based on yet another weird dream I had lol.
this was a really surreal concept and felt even weirder to write it down, but I like it, even though I probably won't do more stuff like this for a while.
as the CW suggests, there is mention of birds being killed. it's not graphic or anything, it's just more of a theme, but it *is* in there and I wanted to let folks know.
if you're not put off by the content warning, please check it out! there's a ton of other stuff up on my substack page as well!

#5ThingsWIP for Those Who Create and Destroy
#5ThingsWIP for #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy!
1. It's a collab with my partner @dontdoitneil that we've been working on since 2016.
2. It's character-focused-yet-action-packed epic-length urban fantasy (a genre we're calling "switchblade-and-sorcery," just cus we like the sound of it ).
3. Big themes are healthy-vs.-toxic masculinity (as embodied by transmasc protagonist Jules vs. his former abuser, Hunter), PTSD, nihilism, redemption, and alchemy as a metaphor for self-realization (as well as a kickass magic fighting style a la FMA
).
4. Every major character is queer af. (Even the ones you don't expect!)
5. You can read it now! The full Part 1 is online and also downloadable as EPUB/PDF, and chapters of Part 2 are published every Monday and Friday (new chapter coming out tomorrow!): https://readformandvoid.com/the-nullweaver-cycle/those-who-create-and-destroy/
