First up, Kindler’s bestie trio: Danbi: Tree against her back, book in her hand, true friends at either side. Chloe: Laughing so hard that your face hurts and you forget everything but who you're with. Mundy: Stargazing in comfortable silence with someone he loves. Preferably with snacks. 🧵

about food, or shelter, or transportation, as well as having enough money to actually enjoy life. I don't think having lots of money is really important to him—as long as he can meet these needs, he'll be happy.

#LitHodgepodge #authorsky #writingcommunity For Jackson, his vision of happiness would be feeling totally secure. Not having to worry about seeing his family or ex-fiance ever again. Not worrying about his partner seeing him as anything other than a man. Having enough money to not have to worry

Ah okay, I didn't realize. Sorry. I had no plans to pay for beta readers right now anyhow 😅

reader about it beforehand and see what they prefer or feel gives the best results.

I haven't really sought out beta readers if I'm being totally honest 😅 If I did, I'm not sure 🤔 Both have their benefits, like your average reader isn't reading it to analyze it, but they will have thoughts that a beta reader won't have, so ehhh. I'd honestly probably just talk to the beta

have an issue with it, they'll voice it. I'm interested in hearing both, and I'll never turn away either, but it's more just than I know people will voice their feelings regardless :3 If I was putting it in front of a critique partner or something, I'd specifically seek feedback on both, though!

By representation, do you mean like how queer men are represented? I feel like I'm mainly interested in hearing about readers' reactions to the characters and their relationships, with the knowledge that people who have no issue with the rep won't mention it, or they'll praise it, and if they do

M. J. Xavier @mjxavierauthor.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

drafts are kind of, you know, the blank page is scary, etc. When I have the first draft done, I have a detailed guide and I can relax. Also, sometimes I'll get to a point where I can tell I'm going to want to stop writing that story altogether, and rarely do I ever want that story up actually go

my time. If I'm writing my mj xavier stuff, I do more of a vomit draft, and have only gotten more vomit-y lately. Or if I'm writing something for pleasure, but it stops being as fun, I'll do more of a vomit draft, and then the pleasure will generally come more from the rewrite. Ultimately, first

plotting than I used to. A lot of the time, I'll plot to a certain point, not know where it should go from there, and go "I'll write to that point and then figure it out" lmao. Sometimes it's gotta cook a lil longer though. When I'm writing purely for pleasure, I generally will go through and take

or if it belongs to someone else, I'll use a bookmark. Probably will just be the receipt from the library tho 😂 I used to be a terminal pantser. And by terminal, I mean this method inevitably terminated the projects I was working on 💀 Now, it's a bit of both, but MUCH more

things. I have a hard time reading my own writing back. So... Also also, when I'm rewriting, having to repeatedly look down at the notebook and back at the screen is really not fun. Writing in total silence makes me insane. I usually dog-ear, probably because I'm a monster. If it's a library book

my hand cramps up really fast when I do, and idk if it's just because my hands suck or if it's because I just didn't write by hand in any meaningful capacity for so long and I'd have to build back up to it. I also have absolutely atrocious handwriting, and writing quickly certainly does not improve

M. J. Xavier @mjxavierauthor.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

read books with humor more, because most books that I read, at least, tend to have funny parts, and it's not like I'm gonna stumble into a deeply sad book withiut knowing. I'd really like to be the kind of writer who writes everything by hand in a notebook. I used to be when I was a kid. However,

Reading hardbacks are a sensory nightmare for me, so I prefer paperbacks. Whether I want something funny or sad really just depends. I don't seek out comedic books, but I always enjoy it when there is humor in them. I do really love angst, but I read that less these days; as a result,

Like, does that mean that they have the game for free on itch.io and offer the option to donate, or...? Can you just put an ad on there? I'm not super familiar with itch.io, but I thought it was just a place to sell things. Just curious!

never have done anything I wanted to do was so terrifying and such a kick in the ass. Realized it both, I think, because I'm getting older and time has been speeding up, and also just. Living in the US as a trans and disabled person right now.

they all prefer to live alone and choose to do so for as long as is feasible. For untitled taboo WIP: Cal and Damien live with their parents. There's a lot of (negative) tension between them though, and Damien mostly isolates himself in his room. Cal is a college student, and sometimes used that as

Admittedly, I'm not sure what the porn situation is on itchio, but I'm guessing that it still exists, even in a way that's not shadowbanned, but just isn't tagged or categorized correctly, like on tumblr. Maybe I'm wrong though.

M. J. Xavier @mjxavierauthor.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

first thought when I think about like tumblr or itchio isn't "that's where everyone went to consume porn. Until the porn ban. And now there's no porn at all on there!" And I am on tumblr!!

I always interpreted it as "conservatives who might otherwise want our product won't buy from us if we advertise on a site that allows pornography"...which is also insane cause like. How do THEY know if a site has pornography on it unless they're on it themselves 🧐🤨 Like maybe it's just me, but my
