Looking for sapphic Halloween-adjacent books this October? How about vampires, witches, trans joy, found family, a promise upheld, and some very adorable shadow creatures? books2read.com/u/bz67Ej issy-waldrom.itch.io/best-friends...

The cover of Best Friends' Promise, by Issy Waldrom and Mackenzie Sutton, featuring three women sitting/standing on the concert stage of Hell's Redemption. You can tell which one is the biggest fan ^^

The claim that trans women only exist because it's trendy is bullshit. Trans women receive the absolute worst of both men's and women's worlds. The idea that anyone would be trans because it's "cool" is nonsensical at best and malevolently ignorant at worst.

Nymeth’s size comparison depends entirely on Maria’s mood when describing her. 🐉 For the #lesficfri theme, “quick.” 🖤

Excerpt on black and red dragon scale background with white dragon separating the text:

“I came as quickly as I could,” Emilia assured her.

Maria narrowed her eyes at that. “You rode a dragon with a wingspan the size of a small continent, and this was the quickest you could come?”

Emilia lifted her eyebrows in amusement. “Nymeth is nowhere near as large as you seem to think she is.”

Happy #lesficfri! Sometimes, there are habits that you have to learn quickly, lest you end up in more hot water. BUT! On the other side of the coin, there are also those that you can be your true self around, once you find them. books2read.com/u/m25XQR issy-waldrom.itch.io/hearts-whisp...

Cover of Heart's Whispers by Issy Waldrom, along with the excerpt:

The wolf straightened its head and gave a big yawn, showing off its teeth and how impressive its bite would be. Yeah, it’d make a bloody mess of her, not that she’d had any doubt about that. But two could play at that game.
Candace opened her mouth, her tongue teasing her fangs. “We’re not so different there, you know.”
She wasn’t sure exactly when she’d gained them. Some time after being exposed to the Between was a given, but she hadn’t even noticed them till her ex, Elara, had pointed them out to her during the meeting to discuss the cooperation between the dragon and the agency. It had been a shock, sure, but she actually rather liked them. However, she had quickly learned to keep them hidden – the last thing she needed was for the DMA to learn that she possessed traces of magic as well.

Sapphic September is over, but honestly, any time of the year is perfect for sapphic books and/or trans books! Especially with how the market and economy is at the moment, with most authors struggling. And all of my books are human created (absolutely NO AI).

Generative AI is not only theft of art, it is also theft of choice, of individuality, of thought. You can think for yourself. You can create art, create worlds and characters. Don't let them take that from you.

If you do not develop your own style, turning to AI isn't going to help. If you never learn to dress yourself, if you never explore your own ability to pick out clothing that you like, or that makes you feel comfortable, then you're going to be stuck wearing whatever your parents pick out for you.

I keep seeing posts saying, "Well, I don't know how to write a book, so I just use AI," or, "I can't draw backgrounds, and I don't have time, so I use AI." If you don't spend time *learning* how to do these things, you *never will do them.* How can you expect to be an artist if you never do art?

they always show their asses eventually because the thing is that you cannot truly, sincerely care about women if you don’t care about trans women. the minute you carve off any one subcategory of women you claim are “lesser” in some way, you’ve declared women’s rights to be conditional by definition

Looking for stories with trans woman protagonists? Sapphic? Perhaps with a dash of vampires, dragons, foxes, and healthy relationships? Oh, and DRM-free as well, of course ^^ www.amazon.com/stores/Issy-... (Amazon) books2read.com/issy-waldrom (universal) issy-waldrom.itch.io (itch)

Heart's Whisper (wolf shifter, lesbian)
Best Friends' Promise (vampires, trans, lesbian)
Esper and the Witch (litrpg lite, trans, lesbian)
What Lies Within (FMFF poly, trans, lesbian, pansexual)
and in the Epic Fantasy bracket, we have the Soul Flames series, which also has dragons, foxes, and vampires too. Rep is trans and lesbian for the mc's.
Finally in the new Fantasy Romance bracket (technically Romantasy, I guess ^^) is my upcoming release The Princess's Dragon (trans and lesbian).
