#WIPSnips - November 4, 2026

The guys are talking about naming cars and electronics. Trent and London, who have not been very friendly, share a moment. Until they don't.

#OwnVoice #WritingCommunity #SIlasBBWIP #QueerWriting #WriteSky
“My car's name is Sandy.” Trent says nonchalantly, “The colour of the vehicle was called ‘Sandy Brown’ so it just seemed like that would be a good name. Plus, it also makes sense since I really like the beach and the sand.” London looked up, “That is actually an excellent name. You’re into beaches and the like?” “Yes.” Trent gave London a small smile, still unsure about him, “I’m a swimmer and a surfer, have been my entire life. It is almost a crime that my family decided to settle in the middle of the prairies, so I have to make the trip to the east or west coast often enough. I wish I lived somewhere where I was close to the water all the time.” He bit into his burger, chewing softly and slowly before swallowing and speaking again, “I was very pleased to hear this place was going to have a pool as well as a hot tub. There is nothing like having a warm dip on a cool fall night.” London was looking at Trent, an unreadable expression on his face, “Well, I didn’t expect you to be some kind of romantic, Trent.” Trent looked at London, “Well, I guess I’m just full of surprises, hey Clipboard?”

Lift my feet up higher;
Make the angle perfect
so that you can see
everything
during this, with the
glow of the afternoon
sun trickling in through
the windows so that I
expose myself to you
in every which way,
again and again

#Sniptober | Oct 28

Surprised I had this word, but here we go! Just a little snippet between Zakk and Cat Zeke, which I have yet to post.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #AmWriting #WritingSky #BookSky #OwnVoice #QueerWriting
Zeke moved around the couch, trying to find a comfy spot. He looked over at Zakk, who was sitting on the lounger part of the sectional. “Mew.” The sound was short and concise. Zakk kept readying his book so Zeke moved closet to him. “Meow.” This time the sound was more forceful, a question with a bit of attitude. Zakk finally looked over at Zeke, “What? Can you not find a comfy spot?” Zeke looked right into his eyes as he meowed dramatically. “Oh my god.” Zakk sighed, a half-smile crossing his face, “Even in cat form you are a dramatic little shit, hey?” Zeke put his paw on Zakk’s arm and slowly started protracting his sharpened claws. “Shit! Sorry. Sorry.” He moved the blanket off his legs. Zeke crawled under the blanket and rested between Zakk’s legs. From the look on his little cat face, he looked absolutely elated.

very late for #FangOut I bring a sweet exchange between my soulbounded mcs

#queerwriting #writingcommunity
Minh was at the verge of crying when his pleas were finally attended to. Santi buried his fangs in his neck with a sharp, precise move, reaching even deeper than the bite that killed his already forgotten human meal. A sensual moan echoed across the cave, materializing Minh’s sheer bliss. Every time he experienced Santi’s bite of awakening, he wouldn’t mind being consumed until there was nothing left, becoming the ultimate offering to his sire in his most vulnerable state. But Santi’s love was not like that. And would never be.

It took me years to feel at ease being naked around other people. Even longer to like myself in photos. Now I write about men like me. Perhaps something in my story will help someone feel a little more at home in their own. #NakedWriter #GayWriter #QueerWriting #NudePhotography #MalePortrait

His body still remembered. But he kept his eyes closed, unwilling to wake completely. For a little longer, he wanted to linger where everything still felt like a dream, and the rest of his life could wait. #NakedWriter #GayWriter #QueerWriting #NudePhotography #FineArtPhotography #MalePortrait

#WIPSnips - October 21, 2026

[Meet some new people - The Sigma Fi Frat Boys]

Dawson is the most sought-after pledge this year due to his Blue Chip status. He would make any Frat immediately richer, as his pledge comes with $50K.

#OwnVoice #WritingCommunity #QueerWriting #WriteSky #BookSky
BLUE CHIP. The stupid name tag I was forced to wear by the administration hung around my neck. The glaring little blue sticker was mocking me. I didn’t want to be here; I wanted to be back at my dorm room, comforted by the warm blanket, my rotating fan, and a good book. It’s a good move, Dawson. Join a fraternity. That will look good on your resume. Dawson was mocking his guidance counsellor in his head. As he walked through the courtyard, a long stretch of sidewalks with a grassy area in the middle, he tried to let the light breeze calm him. “ALPHA PHI JOIN NOW!” “OMEGA SI JOIN NOW!” “ALPHA CHI SI JOIN NOW!” I was about to turn around from the noise when a hand wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me in. “Mr. Heartford, I was hoping to see you. Thinking of joining Alpha Chi Si today?” Mr. Roy, the Dean. I politely smiled.

#WIPSnips - October 19, 2026

[Meet some new peeps from the Big Brother WIP I have spoken about]

The boys are getting to know each other on the first day of production. Chester is making his intentions *~heavily~* known to Leyton.

#OwnVoice #WritingCommunity #SIlasBBWIP #QueerWriting #WriteSky
Trent shrugged softly. “My sister is a vegan, and the amount of shit she gets for her choices is fucking outrageous. People seem to think it’s some kind of personal attack. She doesn’t even fucking say anything. I’ve eaten so many burgers in front of her, and she just brings her fucking tofu salad and talks to me like … whatever.” Trent looks like he is actually mad about the story. “So, if anyone gives this guy shit for not eating meat all the time, you can deal with me.” The room was silent for another moment before Chester spoke up, “Well, I hope you eat meat at least some of the time.” Leyton let out a loud groan as he covered his face with his fingers, staring at Chester through his fingers. “You are such a dog.” “Guilty,” Chester said with a sly smile, unabashed in his sexuality. The room burst into laughter, except for Leyton, who was still trying desperately to turn his face a normal colour. He kept looking at Chester with his charismatic personality and easy confidence. He wanted to know him better; he could feel it, but he needed to be cautious. Was he all sexy talk and no substance? Leyton definitely did not want that in a friend.

Protect Yourself!

While "hybrid models" exist, legit publishers will never ask for an upfront payment from you. The publisher usually presents a lower royalty payment to help cover those costs from book sales.

Last night, I dreamed of a man kissing me. It was the kind of tenderness I'd always wanted. Yet I woke up terrified.

Why was I afraid of something I longed for?

We have been asked this question a few times so I thought I would talk about it.

We are cautious where accept any money from and will do thorough research on companies that want to partner with us (if we get to that point, of course!)

Honestly? I can say it certainly has given me relief & a safety to express my interest in queer relationships. I've been repressing them for so long/taught that it was wrong. But now it feels liberating

I made this mood board for Daelan and Daxton. I choose minimalistic continuous line art because it is a cozy romance and minimalism seems cozy to me.

Anyway. I think it is adorable!

Part 2 of my story is out.

After the accident came months of recovery, learning to walk again, a first kiss, leaving home — and the new choices that began to feel like they were mine.

"I like to think people are inherently good, but I've seen enough, been disappointed enough, that I've had to adjust my expectations. I guess the truth of it is that everyone is free to choose their own path, and that just makes those who choose the dark side cosmic disappointments."
