I am so bad at comps in any medium! But it does have that "boy and girl can't touch for reasons" thing going on for a chunk of the story and that's.... In some movie, I'm sure. Argh. #QueerWriters #LGBTQWriteAThon

Oh uhh it's uhh I'm so bad at this. Maybe like InCryptid (Seanan McGuire) x Kate Daniels (Ilona Andrews) or something? Masquerade World with psi but also a private investigator. Plus queer. #QueerWriters #LGBTQWriteAThon

Okay so fully one million years ago, there was an author whose blog I followed (John Grant/Paul Barnett, his memory for a blessing), and he mentioned that he'd typoed "fratbot" instead of "fratboy," story idea free to a good home. It snowballed from there. #QueerWriters #LGBTQWriteAThon

Goal for the week: edit at least two more chapters of Fratbot (working title) Goal for the month: _finish it_! It's not that long, lol. Then I'll have edited everything viable in my backlog and I can foist more of it off on friends to read! #QueerWriters #LGBTQWriteAThon

Hi! I'm Stephanie. I have published one historical lesbian romance novella (a.co/d/9uiEDhz), and I'm currently working my way through my stash of older drafts. Editing an urban fantasy this month. The first line is: “Mandy!” #QueerWriters #LGBTQWriteAThon

I got 2/3 chapters edited (3, but I turned them into 2)!! Did I do it this evening so I'd have something to report? Yes. Am I embarrassed about that? No! I got editing done! #QueerWriters

So honestly I usually put so much time into volunteering that I sleep for the next week. I highly recommend volunteering if you can at all manage it. ("How do you manage it, Stephanie?" By pushing myself way too hard for a weekend. It's planned for!) #PretendPanel

Absolutely not. Democrats must ask why Republicans are so fucking weird and why they are so obsessed with children's genitals. Trans girls are girls and should play girls' sports on girls' teams and in girls' competitions. Trans women are women and should be allowed to play with other women.

My one (1) publication is in KU but it wasn't my choice--the publisher made that decision. It was not negotiable. If I end up doing self-pub, I will not make that choice. #SpoonieAuthChat

Oh, I did just about nothing this week. I gave myself low totals and didn't meet them. Oh well. Next week! #QueerWriters

Oh, it's the Queer Romance con--not the kind that's mostly an excuse for signing tables, but along the lines of Readercon--that I keep threatening to start with a friend. Panels made up of a combination of fans and pros, interacting together. It's probably near me or in Chicago. #PretendPanel

Uhh I had thought to go out to Seattle for WorldCon but nope. I wish I'd have gone to WorldCon in Helsinki eight years ago. Okay, mostly I just want to go to Helsinki. But I've gone to Madison and Chicago for writing-related reasons and that was 4.5/7 hours of driving. #PretendPanel

Would you like to see me talking about sports or Jane Austen? Come to CONvergence! www.convergence-con.org/get-involved... #CVG2025 I'm going to be wearing a mask the whole time. Also, the sports panel is definitely getting recorded. I'll let you know when it's up on YT! #SpoonieAuthChat

Well that sucked. Sure, the Frost won, but both goals were from Curl-Salemme. #StephYellsAboutHockey
