  1. INTRICATE, TERRIFYING, DREAMLIKE novel of alienated despair weaves together the stories of two young trans women who look exactly alike, caught in the horrors of modern life and something deeper. Kafkaesque yet fresh. B PLUS

  2. HAUNTED BY DEMONS AND SHAME, a writer leaves New York for what she hopes will be a trans women’s utopia—her ex-lover’s Indiana commune. Tense, bone-chilling horror combines with sharp social satire in this gorgeously written novel. A MINUS

  3. One of the less than satisfying aspects of this platform, is that it caters for the quick read. It’s hard to generate an audience for long form fiction, or stories that are episodic. Anything over 2,000 words often means relegating oneself to the party faithful.

    If the person has truly transitioned and is portrayed that way, it is not perpetuating the "trap" trope. To avoid confusion, that person should not be involved in fraud or other scams. Try to seduce or make sexual advances on the POV character, unless they have cleared the air.

    Instead, this is a normalizing statement that says, "You never know who might be trans."

    If it matters, I am trans, so that is one data point on the trans side. I do not speak for the community, however.

  6. So. I’m using GitHub to track my writing because I publish directly to a website. At least one commit means I wrote at least 500 words. I try to commit after about every 500 words.

    After three solid weeks my streak is going to break today because I’m too sick.

    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.)

  12. 🏳️‍⚧️ #WordWeavers 14: Do you write characters with different sexual orientations and gender identities from your own? #writing #trans #transwriters

    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.

  13. CW: #WritersCoffeeClub 12/7: Favorite book

    Hah, an impossible question! Maybe Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice (who's on here, btw!), or Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer (also on here). The Left Hand of Darkness is high up here too.

    My criteria for favorites is easier to talk about. There are "objectively" well constructed books, but to make it into my favorites list it's gotta have some personal appeal. Non-human minds, snow. Oh, and in retrospect, non gender conforming vibes.

  14. CW: #WritersCoffeeClub 12/4: Publishing name

    Fun fact, I decided on my name based on how it would look on a book cover. Mostly in that the other options were a little too masc for me.

  15. Meet Ume Fumiko

  20. I was also happy to see a book I blurbed recognized in a different category! All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From by @IzzyXen :) Congrats Izzy!!!

    I said that it "contains many stories that deal with heart- and gut-wrenching destruction and loss, but this makes the shards of hope gleam all the brighter."

    And this is how to buy a copy:

  21. CW: death

    It's disturbing that a famous guy tooted about an important trans writer's impending death, which was followed by a bunch of people prematurely rushing to post obituaries and remembrances, and now we're all pressing refresh to see if she's died yet. She deserves better. #RachelPollack #TransWriters
