@gtbarry I try hard , but what I find is that people care little about #nature , #queer & #trans news , and #queerfiction
Do I take any and all feedback kindly :)
Cory, clad in freckles with red hair and blue eyes, was seven years old, and I had just turned eight. We would start the school year at Hilton Elementary a week or so later.
I don’t remember not loving Cory or feeling that he loved me. It just seems to me now that there was never a time that he wasn’t there.

My spicy queer romantasy is sort of a side project, I also write other fiction stuff with another pseudonym (won't disclose it, because this one here is closed). I haven't been able to work on my "Vivian Redwood" projects for a while now, hopefully soon again. I plan to publish it for free, like my other stories which you can read here on AO3 (some in German, most of them in English):

Remember pay phones? Kids used them to call their parents when they’d gotten in over their head and needed to be rescued.
Sadly, my parents were the problem, since I knew I was gay and they were inching closer to having me talk to someone at the church about their suspicions over it.

I finished Camp Damascus, which was excellent, & have gone ahead & pre-ordered Chuck Tingle's newest novel Fabulous Bodies, which comes out in July. I am informed that it is massively important to support authors you enjoy by pre-ordering the books they publish through traditional publishers.
I fucking love Chuck. Triumphantly queer horror fiction with autistic protagonists? Yes, please!
Here, back in the school yard under the orange glow of street lamps and the residual white of soccer floodlights, we put the finishing touches on Alex’s costume. Clipping a plastic “bling necklace” around her neck while she’s dressed as a ghost is peak Alex.

Our ghost costumes suddenly feel a bit… inappropriate. Not for the world, I don’t care about that — I want to talk to Jae without being surreal.
