Call for Readers

Hola, followers! I am currently living my dream by spending the next four months in Spain perfecting the language. I spend a lot of time thinking in sentences like ‘entonces estoy thinking in two languges’.

But more to the point, I’ve decided I need to step up my game in acquiring people to critique Binary Talk. I have significantly more followers than when I last checked, so I thought I’d give it a shot asking you lovely people.
Thing is, I’m only one kind of trans. I have four major trans characters and one minor one, and they’re all very different.
  • Whitney: Effeminate trans boy.
  • Chrys: Genderfluid person.
  • Nadie: Native genderqueer person.
  • Lee: Mentally ill agender person.
  • Ja’Naiyah: Black trans girl.

I don’t want to screw anything up, and I also don’t want to tokenize anyone. I figure my best shot to do both at once is get a TON of people, especially trans people of all kinds, to read and review.

If I can tempt you to critique, perhaps with an offer to do a prompt fill for you (see my AO3 account to get an idea of what fandoms I write) or proofread a paper or story in return, leave me a comment, message me on AO3  or send me a tumblr ask (that's easiest if you don't have an AO3 account and don't want anyone else to see).

Primaries

So this is a deviation from my usual work on this blog. I'm letting the novel sit without looking at it so I can come back to it with fresh eyes later. No BS, that's actually a thing writers do to improve their perspective.

In the meantime, I'm campaigning for Bernie Sanders.

 

This is his official campaign poster.
And it's sustainable.


But if we want him to win, we have to get registered to vote NOW and vote for him in the PRIMARIES—or he’ll never make it to November.
