asexual & aromantic books & discussion

and write those ships where the sexual half decides to not have sex for their asexual partner

accurate.

also accurate: stories that have LGBT characters, especially ones that are written for a queer audience instead of a straight audience are very hard to find and our promoting and publishing them helps those who are looking for them to find them.

even more accurate: GOOD stories with LGBT characters will never exist unless people support them, are willing to publish them, and get them into the hands of the readers who are desperate to see themselves represented in quality fiction. 

You have six four days left to order a t-shirt and support LGBT lit through Vitality Magazine’s teespring t-shirt sales! 

The last day to order is 07/20, and after that, the price will go up and only be available as print on demand shirts.

All Submission Calls

So, I dunno about you, but I’m tired of media that gives subtext without actual relationships. I made a special version of the print for a particular series that always come to mind anytime I think of an example of queerbaiting. 

look what the mailman just gave me!

Amazon Japan FINALLY sent me the first of two copies of “The Invisible Orientation” by swankivy that i pre-ordered nearly a month ago. why on earth Amazon could only procure one of my two copies is beyond me, but whatever.

shippers: nooo but look at this ship

so i just finished this AMAZING book and i think some of y’all would probably like it too

cool narrative structure with two parallel stories told in alternating chapters

awesome female protagonists in both

one is a first-time young adult novelist, just out of high school and nervous about editing her manuscript and establishing a new life for herself in NYC

the other is the heroine in her finished novel, a teen girl who escapes a terrorist attack by temporarily willing herself into the afterlife

the novelist is a demisexual woc with a lesbian love interest

she struggles with issues of cultural appropriation and impostor syndrome and what constitutes someone’s “real name”

there are really cool developments in the book-within-a-book that clearly reflect the stuff the writer character is going through
