The Antagonist can take many forms: a human, an environment, a culture or idea. Next to the protagonist, they are the second most important pillar supporting your story.

I'll start with my own! It Will Hurt is a contemporary queer story about Nico, a young man with bipolar disorder discovering his bisexuality in the underground death metal scene of a university town in 2010s Germany. mybook.to/ItWillHurt

The cover art of "It Will Hurt", with the title in large, red, graffiti-like letters dominating the center. Above it, in purple all caps, the author's name "Anya K. Jordan", and below the subtitle "Queer Love in a Death Metal World".
Behind the letters are the dark blue outlines of two men holding hands on what appears to be a stage, in front of the black outlines of the raised hands of a crowd with some of them doing the "metal horns" hand symbol.

Knox is the central chaos bisexual in Cowboy Coven wip (written by a considerably less chaotic bi author). There is no choosing in this love triangle.

Finished some character art of Knox from Cowboy Coven in celebration of finishing the rest of my outline. Behold the angry cursed boi

Character art of Knox from my wip Cowboy Coven. He wears a dark violet-gray duster jacket and cowboy hat, both with runic looking patterns. His hair is half pulled back, his back mostly turned to show one glowing purple eye. The backdrop has a gaping black void surrounding Knox and echoes of yellow and orange circles rippling out from it.

Agree. I also extend this sentiment towards traditional publishing. Taking risks is scary but surely there's excitement to be had not falling back into a comfort zone, but exploring new worlds instead.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Finally finished the brilliant Southern Reach Trilogy. I will form more eloquent thoughts about it later I’m sure, but for now suffice to say: holy shit this was good.

The white spine of Jeff Vandermeer’s book Area X (The Southern Reach Trilogy) sits on a table between two black pots. The larger pot spills over with a large jade plant. An orange-yellow wall behind it.

Ursula K. Le Guin on the true pain of being a writer

Screenshot of a single question and answer from interview in the Times Literary Supplement with Ursula K. Le Guin. Here is the quote:

If you could make a change to anything you’ve written over the years, what would it be?

In The Dispossessed, I would mention the communal pickle barrels at street corners in the big towns, restocked by whoever in the community has made or kept more pickles than they need. I knew about the free pickles all along, but never could fit them into the book.
