    Moonpearl's Commissioned Art Thread

    Indulgently following the trend of making threads to share commissioned art, I'm starting this one here to share the art I have commissioned/will be commissioning. The stories these are for aren't usually available for public reading (being co-written games between my friend and I), but I...

    My issue or my opinion about BL and gender bender novel

    I don't know about that. Many of the people I encountered who didn't like it were upset because it was being actively used as a slur against them, and hearing it still made them flinch.

    On Defining The "BL" Genre

    Since I only read fantasy LGBT+ fiction, I find that the lines between "male-orientated" and "female-orientated" are actually very blurred. I've read some very cliche BL-like novels written by men, and some really super gay fantasy fiction written by women. I've always been meaning to try the...

    I ended up developing one of the major warning signs of a cracked skull and had to go to hospital on Monday, but I thankfully don't have that kind of superhuman strength. Today, after thinking I was fine to go back to work, I started having balance problems in the office, so I had to go again...

    I'm back home~! Thank you for the concern, everyone. I spent a long time waiting but a short time being examined, and I should be alright. This is my second time going to the A&E this week. I somehow miraculously managed to give myself a concussion on Sunday night just by bending down to pick...

    On Defining The "BL" Genre

    I feel like it would be difficult to know how to tag stories if we split them up...

    Moderation and Slurs

    Yeah... I'm not sure how many of you guys know this, but SHF is widely considered a dumpster fire nobody wants to touch. And that's by places that aren't even that "PC". When an authority stands with you against the slurs being used against you, it lets you know that they're not willing to let...

    Moderation and Slurs

    Words have power, bro. Revolutions, genocides and wars have all been set off by a careless or sinisterly careful use of words - that's why so many governments seek to censor literature when they want to keep the population under their thumb. Creating slurs for groups and flinging them around as...

    Moderation and Slurs

    Hm... I have difficulty with that one, though. As a queer woman, there are ways I speak that make straight people panic until they know I'm queer. I get around it by making it explicitly clear that I'm part of the group who can use that all over my profile, but I still up with fools assuming...

    Moderation and Slurs

    I'm pretty sure the word "dyke" is still one of those words that only WLW can use for themselves, since it's in active use as a slur against us. It's been reclaimed, but only for the group to whom it was weaponised against. The N-word is the same, I think. So long as it's black people who are...

    Moderation and Slurs

    It's bizarre how normalised it is. I used to get told off for saying it, but only because it was a ~mild~ bad word. With the way bugger has been passed down, kids who learn it don't understand that it refers to gay men, and that's why it's been watered down. I knew buggering meant sex of some...

    Moderation and Slurs

    (On another note, this shit doesn't fly on the Discord, so you can go there too if you're okay with fast-paced real-time chatting.) You've never heard it on TV or thrown around by losers at school? Interesting. There's a wikipedia page on it here, but there's not a whole lot more to say about...

    Moderation and Slurs

    Yes, but they're also slurs used against queer people (especially queer men). This is true even in the UK. I'm surprised that you haven't heard them before?

    Moderation and Slurs

    We don't have any moderators here, that's why. We used to have one, but they went MIA. Tony (site owner) is just too busy to take care of this place. We extremely need moderators. Until then, stick them on ignore like most other people do. It makes it a much, much nicer place. Fag/faggot, if...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    I'm a cis woman, silly. They can have my uterus - I don't need it.
