🐸 a small update 🐸

Those of you who have been following my ✨writing journey✨ and my old TES fics may remember that for the last year and change I've been working towards breaking into traditional publication. Well, this week I signed with a literary agent, aka took my first significant step into that space. (For anyone unfamiliar with the whacky world of tradpub, an agent is the one who pitches your books to editors to try and get them picked up by a publishing house--most reputable publishers these days won't even take unagented submissions. It's something like a business partnership; you work together to get your books ready for publication and otherwise manage your career, and in return the agent takes a commission on the books they sell on your behalf.) The agent I've signed with is an absolute rockstar, and also a great fit for me and my writing. At this stage I'm mostly still feeling kind of stunned and overwhelmed, but also very excited for the future.

I wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone in fandom who's been so kind to me and encouraging of my writing every step of the way. I don't think this is something I'd have considered, and definitely wouldn't have had the courage to dive into headfirst, if it hadn't been for the support of my intrepid readers on AO3 and the truly incredible friends I've made through fandom. I appreciate you all so much! If this book (it's the Venice one, by the way) sells you're all getting a big shoutout in the acknowledgements.

All my love!

Bori

Second thing I wanted to share was my Halloween costume!!

I’ve got process pictures I might share at a later date, but I’m so happy with it!!! I planned this with a friend in June, and I put in a lot of hours and late night in October to make it happen.

We didn’t go trick or treating, but we did fuck around at a mall and handed out showfall business cards he made the night before.

He also got a picture of me in the portrait pose he’s being sneaky about, I’ll have to share when he finally tells me what that’s about.

Over all a great spooky season for me, I’ve also got some pictures relating to a certain video game movie I’m waiting to share until after the strike is over.

I am sat behind you but I do not speak

My breath is silent

I've been staring at you for a while, observing

You look my way

We lock eyes

You look right through me

I blink and you're turned back from me

...

I am sat behind you but I do not speak

Just a reminder that radfems aren't allowed on my blog, no if ands or buts. I am a queer trans boy and I refuse to put up with that shit in my space.

The thoughts he would say aloud if he truly wanted to when talking to Repo about Luci @hellishgayliath

(since he's can be blunt I can image it wouldn't be far off compared to the actual conversation)

[dumpsterhipster]

hi tumblr friends I just wanted to self indulgently share that I just today finished the first draft of my novel--it's the first one I've planned and written completely from the ground up rather than as a repurposed fic (lol). still got several months of edits to go before it's Done, but after spending the first half of the year planning and reading and the second half of the year writing I am extremely excited to have the first lot of words at least on the page! aaaaaa

thank you for listening to me shout about it!!
