An incredible adult space opera that gave me vibes of Star Wars mixed with Doctor Who. I was obsessed with this book when I read it and I canโt wait for book two!

Okay besties, Iโm prepping for my 100 Days of Queer Fantasy series year 2!
Please give me recommendations (and indie authors feel free to rec your books too)! Iโm looking for fantasy books of any subgenre/length/age range, where the MC is queer.

My original point is that doing positive promo towards 120k pp for a transphobic personโs work, ESPECIALLY when that person has said they use royalties to further transphobic laws, is very icky.
Also you canโt separate the art from the artist if theyโre alive and able to be held accountable.
To be clear I grew up absolutely in love with HP, so I understand the grief of growing up and realizing sheโs a piece of shit
13.04.2025 01:58 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0There are plenty of other books to platform in 2025- especially when JKRโs royalties goes towards monetarily supporting transphobic laws in the UK. You can have nostalgic love for HP and still not platform and do publicity for it (in this case to the 120k followers this person has)
13.04.2025 01:57 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I like to share community with creators of color, queer creators, etc. who have expressed many times how these authors have harmed their communities. And I listen to them and speak up against problematic (racist, Zionist, queerphobic) authors.
If that bothers you feel free to block and move on.
Iโm not sure what you mean by that

So you did it by not having morals or something?

I loathe when people review Middle Grade books, only to be like โthe MC was annoying and immature at timesโ likeโฆ. the MC is 13?
News flash but 13 year olds can by annoying and immature sometimes.

Just saw someone pitch their book as โif ACOTAR mated with Handmaidโs Tale, but women are in charge and there were dragons.โ
And honestly Iโm having a hard time wrapping my head around that description.

I get that Iโm a just a white girl on the internet but when ppl comment โthatโs for the _____ community to decideโ WHEN IM LITERALLY JUST RELAYING INFORMATION I HAVE LEARNED FROM THAT SPECIFIC COMMUNITY it really just grinds my gears
