Back the Aether Beyond the Binary Kickstarter Campaign!

Duck Prints Press is thrilled to announce that the crowdfunding campaign for science-fantasy gender-diverse sixth anthology Aether Beyond the Binary is now live on Kickstarter!

The core concept of Aether Beyond the Binary is simple and compelling: create intriguing main characters outside the gender binary and set them loose to explore the modern world twisted or barely changed, enhanced or destroyed by magical aether. This power source may replace technology, supplement it, or oppose it. These characters may be agender, genderfluid, bigender, or any other non-binary identity. The thread that these tales share is exploration: of the world around them and of the self. We propose no conclusions; instead, we demonstrate how far-reaching the questions are and how expansive the range of possible answers can be, thereby broadening the discussion about the nature of gender and the place of genderqueer characters in science-fantasy fiction. We hope you’ll join us to explore the endless possibilities of these magical worlds.

This anthology includes 17 stories, each up to 7,500 words, by our diverse fancreators-turned-original-fiction-authors, gorgeous artwork by Mar Spragge, Pippin Peacock, Alessa Riel, and Atomic Pixies, amazing merchandise, and awesome add-on extras.

Looking for the perfect post-holiday purchase? Look no further! Get awesome, gorgeous stuff, a fantastic, erudite book, and support queer indie publishing – become a backer of the Aether Beyond the Binary crowdfunding campaign TODAY!

Campaign ends January 25th, 2024.

Patreon backers who support the crowdfunding campaign can also get an excellent extra: the adorable plant-watering backer as a key chain! So there’s no time like the present to back us on Patreon, too!

NEW BOOK SUBMISSION

DEVOUT || ed. Quinton Li

Today the QBD spit a very special book back at me; Devout: An Anthology of Angels!!

This anthology is chock full with amazing writers and even more amazing stories! It was one of the first ARC reads I ever did, and I'm very happy to say that I loved it!

This anthology has a little bit of everything:

making the trans body holy

horror

the mundane

romance and most of all it has Angels! So many angels!!!

I genuinely hope that y'all get a chance to pick this one up, it's amazing and you will not be disappointed

SUMMARY

Featuring work by Freydís Moon, Dorian Yosef Weber, Angela Sun, Ian Haramaki, Tyler Battaglia, Daniel Marie James, Morgan Dante, Cas Trudeau, Aurélio Loren, Rae Novotny, Rafael Nicolás & Emily Hoffman.

A collection of stories, poetry, and art dedicated to the angelic.

Here you will find the strange, the creepy, the funky, slightly silly, pieces with feeling. An experience buried deep inside, it might be from another dimension. Something questionable that makes you wonder if your first impression of the world is accurate enough to trust.

Or maybe something human — too human.

How about a feeling between a feeling? Longing, yearning. Conflict between moral and love. World between worlds.

Above all — angelic.

Are we what angels make of us, or are angels what we make of them?

This anthology is for mature audiences due to themes and explicit content. Our genres include, but are not limited to: Contemporary Fantasy Romance, Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Horror, Historical Fantasy Romance, Mythological, Gothic Fiction, Science Fiction, Horror Drama

CONTENT WARNINGS

each short story has it’s TW’s listed beneath the title, but major ones are body horror and sex

REPRESENTATION

Various, depending on the story, but mostly M/M, trans (incl. non-binary)

‧₊˚ jealous!Abby headcanons

a/n: let me act all sassy on you so you can teach me in a lesson in private ♥

-> jealous!Abby who asks for your lipstick in the middle of a big party after seeing several people trying to hit on you, so she can leave kiss marks on your cheeks, neck and shoulders for everyone to see

-> jealous!Abby who's your biggest supporter and loves seeing you be so confident in revealing outfits, but all of the stares make her feel so agitated (if looks could kill, she'd have the highest kill count)

-> jealous!Abby who proudly touches you in all those revealing places on your body in public; you wear low cleavage? she squeezes your boobs occasionally like they're her personal stress balls; you wear some short skirt/shorts? she squeezes and massages your thighs like it's the most casual thing to do in public ♥

-> jealous!Abby who's hand is always on your body like a magnet; on you lower back, your belly, your hand, your arm, your ass, your thigh, basically anywhere that's in reach

-> jealous!Abby who kisses your hands when talking to you like you're her treasure, showing everyone that she pays attention solely to you

-> jealous!Abby who teasingly traces her fingers on your inner thighs beneath the table, while you're involved in a hot conversation with a few friends of yours, struggling to pay attention because of Abby's fingers grazing your clit

-> jealous!Abby who's all quiet and observing when your acting up in front of her friends, knowing you'll beg for forgiveness with her strap buried deep inside you later that night

-> jealous!Abby who is 100% a 'fix your attitude or I will' lesbian whenever you act up

-> jealous!Abby who's makes you sit in on her lap in public when your talking to a stranger she's dislikes, as her clothed strap grinds teasingly into your cunt; "oops, m'sorry babe," she whispers in your ear as she presses you down even harder

-> jealous!Abby who drags you into any bathroom, only to eat you out in your favourite position, knowing anyone walking past the door hearing your sweet sounds and her name escaping your lips like a prayer, "who's making you feel this good? tell me, princess."

Goooood morning, the SUCCULENT Kickstarter is LIVE! 🌵🪷🌵

I had an absolute blast co-editing this anthology of twelve sexy, trans-inclusive sapphic comics. @discordcomics and Ollie Hicks and I spent the last year working with an outstanding lineup of writers and artists to put this 200 page book together-- these comics are hot, humid, dirty and FUN.

"Our theme is a Garden of Sapphic Delights. Femme flowers, sappy butches, genderqueer lesbians, trans femme wives, fleshy dykes and thorny switches"…......

........need I say more?

Comics are good.

(I've got a sexy comic of my own in the anthology too, of course… the pics in the middle are from my 13 page comic, Prickly Pair.)

Help us reach our sexy sapphic goal by backing the Kickstarter now until May 15!

TBC?

I felt like this was a scene that was robbed from us somehow

I hope I haven’t butchered the Arabic expressions because I didn't find enough sources on them. ‘Ya wael’ was supposed to mean ‘oh, warrior’.

On Instagram: part 1 and part 2

Whenever ppl imply Damian would be homophobic I just kinda assume they're either new to comics or have some internal biases to work out cause I don't know who they're talking about but it isn't my boy Damian ultimate-over-invested-ally Wayne

New Book Announcement

So, I have a new book out? Sort of? My sister Rachel is also a writer, and we put together an anthology of fantasy/science fiction stories—half of them mine, half of them hers.

If you've been following my work for a while, my stories may look familiar—one is a reworked Cherik fic, one is available on my Patreon, and one I published on its own a few years ago. But this is the first time any of them have been available in hard copy! And Rachel's should be new to you. :D

New Worlds is available in ebook and paperback. And if you want to check out my other published stuff, look for Elizabeth Belyeu on Amazon or Shelly Greene at JMS Books.
