YEEEP. I noped out of an entire fandom over it. And unfortunately I have seen the pattern repeat.

Sidney Quinn - Author @sidneyquinn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Yep. I've seen instances where it devolved into legit culty behaviour. Like, thinking an actor was sending signals to their biggest fans with deliberate phrasing or wardrobe choices to say they were actually mad. It was a way to cope with the actor saying they were fine with their character's arc.

Sidney Quinn - Author @sidneyquinn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Some people get so bogged down in their fanon and headcanons that when new canon material comes out that contradicts it, they lash out. Even worse is when the canon never fully supported their reading to begin with, and a lot of it was projection.

Sometimes knowing too much about the publishing industry can be a curse. I have several ideas of what to write next, but I find myself stuck and unable to decide where to put my energy. I enjoy all the ideas pretty much equally but go back and forth over which would have a better chance of success.

I hate how my favourite YouTubers are all using AI generated clickbait extreme 'THIS IS THE WORST EVARRR!!111' thumbnails. Their content is the same but their presentation has shifted. I get they need to play the game, but it's quite obnoxious and is turning me off people I've followed forever.

Any AI I've ever used has been by accident or because the system gave me no other choice. A human doing something poorly will always be a million times more valid than a plagiarism bot doing something well.

Sidney Quinn - Author @sidneyquinn.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Lots of AI proponents saying "what's the problem? Everyone's using it." No TF we aren't. Some of us prefer to keep using our brains and also fact-check our information instead of trusting a sycophantic chatbot. And hire real artists/creatives to make things.

Ahhh, oh man. My day is made. Happened to check my Goodreads and came across this absolutely lovely review of my book, FREEDOM TO ME.

Freedom to Me is a heartfelt MM romance that balances emotional depth with mystery and suspense. Felix and Jay are far from perfect, and that's what makes their journey so compelling. They each carry the weight of their pasts, yet watching them slowly learn to trust, heal, and open their hearts felt authentic and rewarding.

One of my favorite aspects of the novel was Carino Bay itself. The town has so much personality that it feels like a character in its own right, adding warmth, intrigue, and atmosphere to every chapter. The noir-inspired tone, layered secrets, and moments of danger kept me invested, while the romance remained the emotional core of the story.

I also appreciated that the relationship developed through meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and genuine connection rather than relying solely on steamy scenes. The supporting cast added charm and helped make the world feel lived in.

If you enjoy queer romance with mature characters, emotional growth, a touch of suspense, and a satisfying happily-ever-after, *Freedom to Me* is definitely worth picking up. I'll be looking forward to reading more from Sidney Quinn.

An appeal! A queer regency romance in search of a new home. If you know of any agents or publishers who'd consider a former Wattpad Original, I'd love to send THE SECRET COURT their way! #booksky #amquerying #writesky #queerromance

My 71k Queer Regency Romance, THE SECRET COURT is in search of a new home! This book started as a Wattpad Original and completed a very competitve pitching process/rounds of editing. Unfortunately after a brief period of promiton, they stopped featuring it and my readership stagnated.
My rights are back to me as of August 1.

If you know of an agent or publisher who would consider looking at a story of queer joy, love, community, and the fight to keep hard-won rights, I’d love to hear about them! My pitch is Bridgerton x Red, White & Royal Blue.

My book’s status is odd. Some places consider it a reprint, while others don’t. It’s hard to know who might consider it.

I believe in Morgan and Liam’s story and I’d love to find it a new home with someone who would help bring it to the readership I fully believe it has.

I will be breaking off with them come Nov, and I'd love for Morgan and Liam's story of queer community and the fight for progressivism to find a new home. I know that many agents/pubs won't look at this as it counts as previously published, but believe the audience for it is not on Wattpad.

Sidney Quinn - Author @sidneyquinn.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Unfortunately, Wattpad only seems to be supporting a very small number of their queer Originals, which doesn't include mine. I received a bit of profile at the start and then it dropped off to nothing.
