✨Stardust Melody✨ — Polyamorous Lesbian Dragon Era

The first moral of most of our stories is "lesbians will save you" — a universal truth

The other is that this, and the also universal "sometimes lesbians are fucking stupid," are not mutually exclusive

To Miss Major, who has passed on — we will continue your legacy of love, compassion, community, justice, and the fight for liberation that you helped shape.

May you rest easy, and may your memory guide us all. Thank you for everything. ❤️‍🩹

Oh wow.. yikes

Marketing Your Books During Lulls - What To Do When You Do Not Have an Upcoming or New Release This post is dedicated to Ladz, author of one of my newest favorites, Cradle of Eternal Night. They asked over on BlueSky about marketi...

Indie Authors,
I know we're not fond of marketing, but whether you're new to it or looking to extend your efforts; read this blog. @daxaeterna.ink is thorough, and provides many service recommendations along the way.
Read over multiple sessions if needed. Its worth it.

Image shows a book cover: A muscular half dragon with brown skin holds two other people. Her hair is long, black and braided at the sides. There is a smirk on her lips, and her golden eyes are lidded. Patches of blue speckled with stars glint on her joints. Second character has black hair and lavender eyes, open shirt which shows her toned chest. She holds the jaw of the third, who has white hair with an undercut. Pink flowers glow up their neck. Title reads "They Who Brought the Storm by Vaela Denarr & Micah Iannandrea." A golden frame surrounds the image. A smoke/storm cloud emerges from the half dragon's mouth behind the silver title.

Hunted for their magic, Rhi seeks shelter with a reclusive dragon. They'll be her hound, and she will keep them safe. But their bid for security draws the eye of a dangerous former love with plans of her own.

Image shows a book cover in warm colours: Two women are walking through a forest under a star-speckled sky on a path lined with crystal flowers. Lefthand character is a topless half dragon person with brown skin and huge muscles, watching the other character. Her shoulders and joints have blue scales dark as a night sky, and her hands and feet are tipped with large claws. Patches of blue speckled with stars pull over her knuckles and shoulders. She wears nothing but a loincloth and chest wrap. A white panther with a halo and red eyes curls around her legs. Second character is a fat girl with, with white hair, a halo, and wings in rainbow hues, looking around excitedly. Her skin is light in colour, and she wears a patterned brown poncho and clutches a bag with a pretty green tree design. Title reads "On Wings of Fallen Stars by Vaela Denarr & Micah Iannandrea."

When stars fall on her territory, a dragon strikes a begrudging deal with her former lover to protect themselves—and the young druid they both come to love.

Artwork of Kye and Jude from Name Her Holy. They are in profile, Jude is leaning over Kye, cradling her head in her hands, while Kye is looking up at her with wide eyed fear, reaching up on hand caked in soot. Jude has pale skin, long auburn hair with an undercut, a long scar over her nose. She is in golden armor etched with oak leaves, translucent wings of light and a thin halo around her head. Kye has tan skin, covered in light scars, pale gray eyes and dark brown short hair. She is wearing a simple linen bedshirt. Dark leaves and flowers frame in front, behind them a broken temple crumbles against a dark star filled sky, a dark black moon at the center.

Happy International Lesbians Day to all those lesbians out there ready and willing to fistfight god for each other 🏳️‍🌈🫡

Only 8 traditional lesbian romance novels so far this year with an additional ~7 that are primarily in another genre.

I should probably read/listen more to them because they never stop me from smiling even when they cause me to cry.

I wish I had some more with a girl like me in them though 🏳️‍⚧️

'the term "sapphic" refers to a woman or non-binary person who is attracted to fem characters and includes lesbians, bi, and pan identities'

This is beautiful because these abject morons have decided sapphic includes feminine cis men but, amazingly, excludes butches and I guess transmasc people.

Some thoughts on the psychology behind white cis liberal women accusing you of faking your race to salve their white guilt. beekian.wordpress.com/2025/10/03/t...

at swords dash andsapphics dot bsky dot social claiming that whitejacketing and alleging racefaking from a person of color is justified because the other person "is worse"

one of my favorite things to see is white people doing something bonkers racist, getting called out on it, and then saying the racialized person still looks worse than them so their racism was justified

of course they claim to uplift poc voices, at least when they agree with them

ah, "allyship"

This is a book about polyamorous lesbian dragons. It's a book about blood and disaster and falling stars and broken hearts. It is also a book about lazy summer afternoons and forests with leaves of crystal that ring out musically in the rain.
It's about fishing at a river bend.

It's about love.

We're not big but it'll be seen!

I'll honestly make a little graphic to help share this list of sapphic/lesbian books!

Hornet is ready for winter

They have, uh, removed every single transfem author that was in the bundle. I was joking when I said they want to make 'sapphic spaces' all-TME all-white again. 'Single-sex spaces for discussing sex-based rights' here they come.

Sapphic Book List of authors not deemed sapphic and/or lesbian enough.

What the fuck does "we've been transparent" mean? Bee and I and others are "transparent" about being non-white and from the third world, but white people frequently deracialize us in disagreements, to accord us privilege and silence us despite our transparency!

This is, ironically, beyond the pale.

"at least we've been transparent about being white" hell of a way to suggest anyone may be a dishonest snake until they say they're white

I feel maybe more of a wrap, since you can fold it on itself?

I saw that, was very confused about why that was relevant in the whole situation since.. like most of then people arguing about how to actually use sapphic are trans woman. Wild shit

If you want to sell M/F relationships, don't try to con lesbians into buying it. If you want to read M/F relationships or stories that feature and develop men don't ask lesbians for it. It's not that hard, it's not that complicated, but still people have to try to pull this shit.

Relationships between women are mocked, trivialized, stigmatized, infantilized, and treated as fetish material for men. Demanding that works labeled 'sapphic' actually center romance and sex between women is not 'exclusionary', is not 'bigoted', and it certainly isn't fucking 'transphobic'. Shut UP.

Oh and they haven't read them all so they put sapphic if they don't know the relationship status but know there's sapphics I believe. Not the best strategy tbh
