#QueerPrompts The Witch of Eden Hollow is set within the confines of a Puritan cult.
Avery's relationship with Tristan would never be allowed, should someone find out that would report them.
They find joy in their moments spent in secret, but one day, they hope to be openly in love with each other.
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
#QueerWritersChat Q5
Do you write queer romance? Need an editor?
One of my speciality genres in editing is LGBTQ+ romance. I just completed a MM romance edit today!

Talked a lot about Runner Owen this round so here's where you can meet him, the villain obsessed with him, and a tragic lesbian couple who deserves better. First in a short story arc called Behold the Damned:

Sometimes! Practicing caution does keep him and his company out of hairy situations.
However, when things are entirely out of his control and his luck runs out, that's when he starts to get worried.

I had a lovely time as always, #QueerWritersChat! I have a full-length poetry collection, TIME TRAVEL IS EASY, which uses Deep Time and dinosaurs to examine queer identity, childhood trauma, and life here in the late Anthropocene. Itโs available on multiple platforms: mimulus.weebly.com/books.html

14.02.2026 01:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I have SUCH a hard time with that too!
So many times, I wanna say "trust mee!!!"
#QueerWritersChat I primarily write MM romance, so most of the MCs in my stories are gay. But there are exceptions!
In The Witch of Eden Hollow: Tristan is actually bi and Elias is demi.
In my queer dark fantasy series: Lucian is polyamorous, Declan is demi, and Mรญcheil is bi.
Meanwhile, Avery and Tristan's relationship in The Witch of Eden Hollow is already established. The internal conflict is Avery wanting to come out of the closet but being too scared to.
Elias and Sterling's relationship is *kinda* slowburn enemies to lovers. And new beginnings fit their vibe. 4/4
He quickly after comes out as poly. Book 3 (which I'm still writing) establishes the open relationship and Tobias starts slowly catches feelings for Auรฐunar. I don't even know how much longer it's gonna take before they all three decide to poly it up together, wish me luck!! 3/4
14.02.2026 01:35 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0My queer dark fantasy series has the SLOWEST slow burn I've ever written (300K+ and STILL GOING with an endgame polycule).
Book 1 was childhood friends to lovers Lucian and Tobias getting together. Book 2 was Lucian being separated from Tobias, meeting Auรฐunar, and falling in love with him. 2/4
#QueerWritersChat
The hardest part for me is trying to figure out what pace of romance I wanna go for. Do I want it quick, fast-paced? Do I wanna have slow burn? On again, off again?
It entirely depends on the couple (in some cases, polycule) I wanna portray and what kind of story I wanna tell. 1/4
#QueerWritersChat
Yes! In pretty much all of them. ๐
I'm an isolated, hopeless romantic, and writing romance is my creative outlet while I wait for someone to sweep me off my feet.
Often times, I like turning up the heat, but a wholesome love story is just as satisfying for me!
That mistype in the screenshot is killing me hours later ๐ Damn asterisk LMAO

Auรฐunar doesn't necessarily believe in *luck,* but he does believe in fate and how it can twist and turn if you do something to, for example, upset the gods.
He holds fast to his god's tenets to ground himself in situations that can be harrowing/unlucky.

Support every trans, non-binary or questioning person you know. Speak out for those you donโt. Vote for politicians who want to expand humanity, not shrink it. And for godโs sake, stop buying Harry Potter or the works of those who want to ruin the lives of our loved ones out of their own ignorance.
