Hey y'all!

This is a reminder that I write fantasy books. They're cool as fuck, they deal with themes of family and antifascism and the nature of responsibility, and they also happen to be REALLY queer.

For, like, the whole first LONG part of my writing career, I was on an exclusive deal with Amazon. I wasn't allowed to publish or distribute my ebooks on other websites.

That's no longer the case. I'm free!

So, I'm putting all my books on my Patreon. That's THIRTEEN books and counting.

Full-size books, not novellas. (Nothing wrong with novellas. We love'em. Just...this is a lotta books and I need you to understand that).

Want a bi, robin-hood-meets-batgirl, young forest girl becomes master thief adventure? That's the Nightblade Epic.

Want a polyam, trans-friendly, wizard-school-meets-The-Godfather, mystery and intrigue series? That's the Academy Journals.

Want an ace-and-bi best friends, buddy revenge, monster hunter, Princess-Bride-meets-Supernatural-but-queer journey? That's Tales of the Wanderer.

Want a queer-platonic-but-also-SUCH-sapphic-yearning, reluctant chosen one, found family, mysterious past, LOTR-meets-Hot-Fuzz, heroic quest? That's the Resurrection Cycle.

And they're ALL in that post on my Patreon.

I'm trying hard to not only write my own books but publish more marginalized and underrepresented voices. I've already started. I'm planning to do a lot more.

So if you want to help make all of THAT happen...and also just, like, get thirteen new books right now...

Patreon?

In answer to the question "are band kids horny": either exactly as horny as theater kids or have never heard of sex in their lives. No in between

okay but is it divided by instrument or is it truly random

A little of column A, a little of column B honestly? Like drumline for sure are the horniest of horny band kids im my experience. Clarinets have usually never heard of sex in their entire lives. Trumpets though; those weirdos are hard to pin down. Trombones like to pretend to be horny mcsexman, but I don’t recall a single one getting laid in my entire career

We won’t talk about saxophones. I played saxophone. Our whole section is just… just a little wrong, man.

what like some omegaverse stuff?

Eh. More like the kinksters who hide it so well you don’t believe it until you see one of them in a puppy mask and latex body suit walking down the street on a leash. Like. We’re the real morally depraved ones. I remember a conversation about how many people could feasibly be involved in an orgy on the bus before the director noticed. Out loud. Three seats away from aforementioned director. My entire section was just like nodding along and chiming in. The tenor sax guy was like “well, if everyone bit down on their feather (the plume fluffy thing on band hats) nobody would moan loud enough to be heard over the road noise” which was the only point at which the director chimed in with a carefully neutral “don’t get saliva on those things I hate cleaning them.” That was the tamest conversation we had on that bus.

Like, during band camp, while everyone else was laying in the AC dying of heat stroke, my entire section would go down to the creek, strip half naked, and tally what everyone had gotten up to that summer, and by what everyone had gotten up to that summer I mean who fucked who and how. Usually with a joint or a bottle of liquor to pass around because the only way any of us were getting through the second half of the day was to be a little high and a lot looser in our own bodies.

so like some omegaverse stuff

Okay so the amount of reblogs/tags that all say the exact same thing lead me to believe this is true

"when i was your age, i was working three jobs to help support my family" and "when i was in college i was sleeping on a mattress on the floor and living off of soup"

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO THAT. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT THIS ISN'T A CHARACTER-BUILDING LESSON, IT'S JUST BAD

When someone says stuff like this, I really enjoy looking them dead in the eye and saying “I’m so sorry you had to do that. It sounds really hard and I wish I’d been there to help.” Completely takes the wind outta their sails.

People asking why the severed marching band didn’t care their drum major got locked in a bathroom — have you ever BEEN in a marching band??

“Keep playing” is the TOP PRIORITY. People have thrown up and no one blinks. People have passed out on the field from exhaustion and heat and we just step over them. The bottom half of one girl’s instrument FELL OFF DURING A COMPETITION and not one of us even twitched. An. Eyelid.

Milchick trapped in a bathroom behind a vending machine by two random fellow innies, him furiously banging on the door as they plead for help? Not C&M’s problem, boo. They gotta keep pointing those toes and lifting those heels. It’s what he would have wanted

I love this explanation, which also reinforces my absolute terror of marching band kids. They're eldritch, somehow.

And strong!!

Oh no doubt the weakest among them could rag doll me.

My mom was a band kid. She once told me the story how she scared a football player into moving who was on the field warming up while she was playing because he was where she needed to be and she was quite willing to run him over to get to her spot. Don't mess with band kids while they're doing a routine, man. They will mow you down. They do not care. Us theater kids are TAME compared to them. XD

Theater kids: ineffable and horny like elves.

Band kids: unstoppable and horny like hobbits.

(are they horny? I don't actually know this)

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

pov: you’ve been transported to the 17th century

I'm crying. Here's a photo of a sailor from the Götheborg watching over the little sailboat in tow:

From the story:

We repeatedly emphasized that we were aboard a small 8-meter sailboat, but the response was the same each time: "We are a 50-meter three-masted sailboat, and we offer our assistance in towing you to Paimpol." We were perplexed by the size difference between our two boats, as we feared being towed by a boat that was too large and at too fast a speed that could damage our boat. The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it? The Götheborg approached very close to us to throw the line and pass a large rope. The mooring went well, and our destinies were linked for very long hours, during which we shared the same radio frequency to communicate with each other. The crew of the Götheborg showed great professionalism and kindness towards us. They adapted their speed to the size of our boat and the weather conditions. We felt accompanied by very professional sailors. Every hour, the officer on duty of the Götheborg called us to ensure everything was going well.[...] This adventure, very real, was an incredible experience for us. We were extremely lucky to cross paths with the Götheborg by chance and especially to meet such a caring crew. Dear commander and crew of the Götheborg, your kindness, and generosity have shown that your ship is much more than just a boat. It embodies the noblest values of the sea, and we are honored to have had the chance to cross your path and benefit from your help.

"Our destinies were linked for very long hours" is just knocking me out.

"The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century"

WELL YEAH
