People are drawing the wrong conclusions from the dickolas situation it's very funny "it went viral because one guy was passionate" it went viral because thousands of people have already loved it and shared the initial post. This doesn't work as well for unknown books that aren't

I have something to say but I don't know how to concisely phrase it. Half my TL is a thriving community of transfem writers supporting each other and the other a community of queer non-transfem writers who sometimes remember that they should include them but make no changes

I’ve been sitting with this for a day or so and… I love that I’m seeing so much support for transfem authors in our community right now. I’m also acutely aware that most of the transfem authors we’ve seen the last few years have been run off this app and out of our community.

Thinking about authors marketing queer books from a reader perspective lately - avoidance of clear labels (using just the word queer) will make me less interested - using the word "rep" makes me assume that you're likely counting SCs as well and I'm not interested in that

I’d be genuinely interested to see the data on this for sapphic romance! How many femme or feminine-of-center characters do we have, how many butch or masc-of-center characters, & how many characters who fall outside those categories? The latter two feel so minuscule to me

I was thinking about how the lack of masculine traits on sapphic characters especially on covers is likely due to a marketing thing where they need to communicate that's it's two GIRLS but it's also sad

we don't have a lot of sapphic knight books and a lot of them suffer from "We shouldn't make the lady knight TOO masculine or else people will think she's a man 😑"

they /really want/ to read transfeminine works but not this one. Or this one. Or they'll add this one to their TBR and and forget about it. But they /really want/ to read those books there's just nothing for them you know 😒
