I haven't heard of any of these authors, which makes it a perfect place for me to start! I've been wanting to read more queer lit since I came out earlier this year, and now I can also find more indie authors! Yay!

Hi #PortfolioDay! We’re Ted & Ro, and we write and draw comics. Most recently known for the #WorstManOGN and the recently-announced DreamBound through Vertigo! We’re busy at the moment, but definitely looking for cover work in the next few months.

The cover to Worst Man. A handsome, skinny white guy with red hair, wearing a red suit, black shirt and orange tie is front and centre, toasting the camera. He's clearly been caught by a burly guy with olive skin and black curly hair, who's wearing a purple suit jacket, white shirt and purple tie. The burly guy is sat in a gigantic wedding cake, with the implication being he fell backwards into it catching the skinny guy. As a result the cake is collapsing around them, but the skinny guy's foot is holding up the cake topper, which is cartoony representations of a bride and groom.

The DreamBound cover. Protagonist Aisling is lying seductively on a crescent moon, her hair drifting lazily up while her dress becomes cloud around the base of the moon. Orion is also on the moon, leaning over her as she strokes his face; Xavier is sat on the clouds, pretending to look disinterested but also stroking her leg in a slightly possessive way

The cover for Justice League: Dream Girls 2. The Key is hunched over a small set, puppeteering dolls of Dreamer and Galaxy to fight

The cover to Harley Quinn 60. Harley is dressed as Bat-Quinn, and is posing on a gargoyle in an unhinged manner that is as close as she gets to brooding

Also, someone had their character "stop a mugging" by "punching a junkie in the throat" Unarmed strike is 1+STR mod. In this case, 4. Commoners in DnD have 4HP. A player murdered someone but didn't think about it properly. Now I get to be evil 😈

Paul Carroll @paulcarroll.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Right now, only myself and the player know why he's French. And one other player has a pet dog that last night ate a pigeon. This was normal for it. Most are not playing humans, but all appear human (homebrew nonsense). Only one player knows who is hiding their true form.

In last night's DnD session, set in modern day Dublin: - The party discovered one of their own is a 17th century Frenchman (maybe?) - There are mysterious two-headed dogs wandering about and they WILL try to eat you - One of them now has a pact with an Efreeti - After 3 sessions, it has been 1 day
