The synopsis – genre, substance, and luck #amwriting

Last week, we discussed the query and cover letter, so today, we’re talking about the other thing we dread: the synopsis. A synopsis is a short summary, and in this case, it summarizes the content of your story or book. Indies occasionally have to write a synopsis if they submit their longer work to contests, agents, or publishers. When a literary contest or publisher asks for a synopsis,…

Can't believe TRC has the synopsis it has because this was the most decieving ass synopsis I've seen.

"Uwu Girl can't kiss her soulmate but OH she meets 4 rich boys from rich university oh NoOO one of them is the soulmate!"

And then it's The Raven Cycle. Heart in pieces. Faith in love restored and crushed. Friendship will never be a word strong enough to define the bond so let's say they were all in love with eachother. Magic is cryptic. Humans are cryptic af. Who am I? Who are you? What are we?

I was expecting Twilight and it turned out to be Evangelion.

I'm so heavily anti-advertising that all pitches sound goofy silly to me/I can never take them seriously, so I have no idea how I'll manage to to advertise my game even if I do finally finish it soon-ish lol...

I wrote something I’m really proud of in my novel!

But also I only managed to write two sentences.

The trade-off is killer.

So nice I did it thrice., Pathetic fallacy

Summary:

Andromache whispers into the silence, “You don’t remember, do you?” Nicolò is still looking at Yusuf as his mind begins to take him back. It’s the feelings first. The shift in gravity, then the all-encompassing bitter cold. No deck beneath his feet, no tether to hold. A great nothingness for eternity. He flexes his toes against the wood floor. Solid, still, stagnant. “No,” he says.

--

Decades into their relentless search for Quỳnh and shortly following a disastrous event that threatened their numbers, Andromache, Nicolò, and Yusuf rest in Iceland where the seasons seem to be moving backwards and forwards at once.

Insomnia is letting up off and on, but I'm still super jelly brained from it case in point, I want to continue back with posting WIPs for the aired pages, but I can't remember what page I left off on now lmao (guess I'll have to dig through my blog to check... eesh. at least it's decently organized by tags?) Not a result of goo brain, really, but equally "AUGH" is that I let my screen protector go for too long without replacing it and now it's slick as snot and I don't have a replacement handy to put on it. This isn't a resulting consequence of goo brain but it does mean I'm going to be trying to draw without any traction while I'm already loopy. Good times ahead!

Striking a Chord at Randy's by K.C. Carmine M/M (Trans M/Cis M)

Idk gang...this one's bit unbalanced

Thoughts: If I was to describe this in terms of typical romance tropes it'll be; a (childhood) friends-to-FWBs-to-lovers bi awakening. I'm not someone who gets super into tropes but others are and might want to know.

A super exciting thing about this book is the series it's from; Diner Days. Diner Days is a multi-author contemporary trans romance "anthology" series that takes place in or involve a US 50s themed queer Diner called "Randy's", in some instalments the Diner is a more present location than others. All books in the series have at least one trans MC and a good chunk are t4t. It should be noted however that the series is weighted towards trans m/m & m/nb pairings, of the 11 books in the series only 2 are sapphic (f/f or f/nb) and there are no trans m/f pairings. Which is unfortunate for people looking for that type of representation.

EDIT: upon further research it turns out that there is one book; Aftercare at Randy's with a TF/NB/M, so there is technically on Transhet book although it's also F/Nb & M/NB

In theory this book should be (almost) everything I want in trans mlm, the tropes and kinks/sex acts, the relationship and personalities was coming up to be a cool 8-9/10 but the execution was just not it gang.

Simply put the writing wasn't good...When it comes to romance I have lowered standards for prose/writing, I don't expect lit-fic or even the average fantasy novel writing so I am lenient. Awkward phrasing in the narration, abuse of unrealistically verbose and introspective therapy speak in dialogue. And rather petty on my end misuse of the term "himbo"; the misogynistic/homophobic/toxic masculinity douchey gymbros at Trent's old gym will not be himbos! Himbos are nice! Also "muscle himbos" is redundant as himbo= buff anyhow, yeah it's petty but whatevs.

...We got strap sucking y'all!!! That alone saves this damn book lmao. So idc idc.

Which brings me to my next observation; the book was more explicit and had more kinks & fetishes in it than I was expecting. Like I went into this thinking it'll be some simple gay sex shit but Nope! Shit got wild as hell ☠ (positive).

Also massive props for the book acknowledging that vaginismus and HRT induced vaginal atrophy exist and will make frontal penetration painful and unpleasant.

A thing I apricated about the story is that both Trent and Charlie have goals outside of their relationship. From Charlie's music career to Trent getting the motivation to open his own inclusive gym. They do intersect with the romance and both are (obviously) supportive of the other's dreams. Another aspect I apricated was as positive and lowkey as this story was it didn't ignore the existence of homophobia. It's not "extreme" or hardcore and it fits with the vibe of the book...well vague spoilers but towards the end Charlie experiences something semi-based on anti queer bigotry. I do enjoy queer stories where bigotry doesn't exist or isn't acknowledged but sometimes I also like seeing the real shit. Although both their respective projects got achieved and wrapped up a bit too quickly. I won't necessarily fault the book for that, it's about novella length so there wasn't much space to go into detail, perhaps if the book was a bit longer, because there are books in this series double the length so it's not a case of wordcount restrictions.

Representation: white gay trans man MC, white bi/pan cis man MC, Lesbian Side characters, Trans woman side character

Terms Used: cock, t-dick/dick, packer, strap-on, ass/asshole, front hole

Sexual Content & Roles: Explicit sexual content. Strict top/bottom, trans top/cis bottom, size difference, Chastity kink/cock cage, orgasm denial, cum eating, felching, rimming, anal fingering, anal sex, nipple play, oral sex, light bondage, masturbation in front of partner, semi public sex, food play-kinda...lollipops were involved,

Potential dysphoric moments: N/A I guess

TW: mild references to/instances of homophobia, misogyny and toxic masculinity.

Rating: 5/10 🌟 Despite my less than glowing review, I do not dissuade others from picking up this book. It is a cute romance and those of us looking for trans men/masc tops can't be too picky.

#this is how i ended up with a 130+ page doc of random curesona drabbles

👀? Could you possible spill some of that information?

i have a doc called "gotta get the sillies out" which is where i put the random thoughts in my head that i need to get out so i can get back to waffleverse. it's mostly stuff with my curesona and her team and a few of my other fanseason teams. don't think i'll ever actually publish anything from it because my curesona's season's lore is Very Niche and Specific and Complicated. here's the proof of doc though
