That's not really true. Plenty of these stories deal with dysphoria and coming to terms with identity. Plus, gender euphoria is just even more important than the dysphoria IMO. Plus there's more to trans issue than just dysphoria. There's the fear of coming out, facing one's family, rejection...

Just as a quick note here. Plenty of trans women are lesbians or bi. I myself am a trans lesbian for instance. Also, the extent to which someone chooses to transition can vary. Plenty of trans women start hrt and choose not to get GRS, and are happy with their dicks. It's a common...

What the actual heck is this comment? In what way is it 'propaganda?' And like foxoftheasterisk said, our existences aren't degenerate or a kink. Anyway, as someone writing trans themed fantasy stories, part of it for me is making the kind of story I would have liked to see as a kid. Stories...

I think framing writing as something specifically for your audience is kind of a poor framing. Writing while considering your audience is good of course, but centering it on them? eh. I write for me. I write to get my ideas out there and put stories out there that I would've liked to see as a...

Yeah, fetishization is a big factor into it. Also to my understanding yaoi can be a lot more overt which can collide with homophobia more. It's a complicated explanation, and as a lesbian it's pretty obnoxious how it can impact the material I want to read. Also the whole 'women are more likely...

Definitely could be depression. It can be caused by a lot of things, especially if you haven't been going out much. It's good to see a doctor like you said, but a therapist may also be helpful. (No shame in therapy btw. Therapy is great) With the pandemic and everything it can really tax your...

Me? Writing a 6 page sequence of one of my characters taking down a macho assassin in the pettiest way possible because I watched Deathstroke be terrible in Young Justice season 3? More likely than you think. I take inspiration from movies and shows a lot tbh, but mostly conceptually. Well that...

I have a few First: Street punk who thinks he's the big shark in a new world, because he can juggle some fire Second: Ex-military man hates magic so much that he magicked himself into a robot and thinks you should to. And third: what if superman, but he was such a jerk and unheroic he managed...

I think it depends on the story, but I think the more important thing is what's being conveyed. A cool compelling plot can fall flat if it has nothing to say and trips over itself in the end. And a character can be compelling on paper and be unengaging in a story if those parts ring hollow...

Why stop at a punchparagraph when you can go all they way with a punch card? ...Oh that's a fancy looking cain. What is...WHOA! *pulled off the stage*

I think a lot of it definitely depends on the writer and the type of humor or emotion that the piece is going for. Comedy can be easy if you know how to set up a joke, but it's also easy to fall into poor taste. Drama on the other hand can be very precise and specific to nail, but I think...

Personally, using brackets over quotation marks is confusing. To me brackets are often associated with in text translation or some other technical usage. While there's nothing inherently wrong with using brackets in my opinion, it may confuse readers and may limit you if you ever encounter a...

I've actually been toiling around with a similar idea with a bit more of a focus on how it would all work. Like for instance having negotiators who handle discussions of the terms, criteria, and rewards of a mission. Different types of specialties that take certain types of jobs, or have...

I'm sorry, did you say something? I was busy watching some paint dry. All I'm getting from this is that I wasted my time talking to you. I don't know how you did it, but you're more vacuous than a black hole.

So, I recently finished posting my first book, and I'm working on a sequel. Now I'm left with a Dilemma. Is it better to post the sequel with the first book so it's all together? Or should I start another entry and just link to it?
