( Read more... )

real quick today cause I'm very low on time before I have to go vend

1. What are you currently reading?

Lout of Count's Family vol. 5 by Yu Ryeo-Han: both my other Libby novels are due sooner. I started this anyway.
The Dream of the Red Chamber by Tsao Hsueh-Chin: chipped away a bit more over the weekend, expect to read more today (I've been bringing it vending, when I don't want to use my phone cause I need the charge to last, so I leave myself no choice but to read the thing I'm meh about. It's not even that it's bad, I'm just not finding it very engaging. The last couple chapters were actually more interesting to me, tho, so I'm hoping that keeps up.)

2. What have you recently finished reading?

The Apothecary Diaries light novel vol. 1 by Natsu Hyuuga: I enjoyed it enough to keep going, at least. I think of the three versions I've encountered (manga and anime being the other two) I liked this one the best.
我和我对家 by PEPA: I finished it! I finished it! Reading the censored version continued to be hilarious but I do think that by the end a casual reader could have figured out they're in love, lmao.
I Ship My Rival x Me manhua vol. 1 and 2 by PEPA: I think immediately turned around and started rereading the manhua again, for all the couples feels that got censored out of the book.
BL Metamorphosis vol. 5 by Kaori Tsurutani: I was kinda disappointed in the conclusion. It felt rushed, and there was no payoff on what the younger half of the friendship would do. Like, she started doing art. Is she gonna continue? Do they stay in touch? It felt weak, even the few plotlines that were introduced had virtually no pay-off.
Girl Friends vol. 1 by Milk Morinaga: by far my least favorite of the Morinaga titles I've read so far.
I am NOT Starfire by Mariko Tamaki: eh, it was fine I guess
Kase-san and Yamada vol. 1 by Hiromi Takashima: I thought this was a vol. 1 considering. it says it's a vol. 1. But it's actually volume 6. Still, it was followable... and I didn't like it much, Kase-san is weirdly controlling and jealous in ways that weren't in anyway acknowledged and were treated as okay.
Dandadan vol. 4: Yukinobu Tatsu: the crack continues. Not that I expected it to end.

3. What will you read next?

Novels: I have Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle and A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett on Libby and have to read them before they run out of time, so.

Physical Library Loans: The Backstagers vol. 1 to 3 by James Tynion IV and others

Libby: After Hours by Yuhta Nishio and Heavy Vinyl: Y2K-O by Carly Usdin are both due in under a week, so at minimum those. I have a lot of Libby loans rn, a bunch of holds came through at the same time, so I expect to try to get through a lot of them as I have the time.

Text and seven book covers on the bluebackground with blue snowflakes. The text reads: Our Favorite Queer Holiday Books. The books are: The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch; To Drive the Hundred Miles by Alec J. Marsh; Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake; The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin; How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow; No Better Than Beasts by Z.R. Ellor; Don't Stop Believing by Gwen Hayes.

We’ve put together our second-annual Queer Holiday Book list! You can view last year’s list (with some overlap and some different books) here. This year’s list leans a bit on Christmas, but there are non-Christmas-focused books, and there’s more in last year’s list. Whatever holiday or holidays you celebrate in December, we hope you have a good one (or more)! The contributors to the list are: Nina Waters, Shannon, Shadaras, Rhosyn Goodfellow, and Linnea Peterson.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch

Nicholas “Coal” Claus used to love Christmas. Until his father, the reigning Santa, turned the holiday into a PR façade. Coal will do anything to escape the spectacle, including getting tangled in a drunken, supremely hot make- out session with a beautiful man behind a seedy bar one night.

But the heir to Christmas is soon commanded to do his duty: he will marry his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess and his brother’s not-so-secret crush. A situation that has disaster written all over it.

Things go from bad to worse when a rival arrives to challenge Coal for the princess’s hand…and Coal comes face-to-face with his mysterious behind-the-bar hottie: Hex, the Prince of Halloween.

It’s a fake competition between two holiday princes who can’t keep their hands off each other over a marriage of convenience that no one wants. And it all leads to one of the sweetest, sexiest, messiest, most delightfully unforgettable love stories of the year.

To Drive the Hundred Miles by Alec J. Marsh

Serendipity, WA is filled with Christmas cheer, beautiful mountain views, and trans man Will’s feminist Wiccan family. Home for the holidays, he avoids their clumsy attempts at support by hiding in the local coffee shop and flirting with Bea, a friend from high school.

The beautiful landscapes can’t make up for the the realities of being queer in a small town, and Bea wants out. Will grabs for a prosperity spell, and finds a new way to connect to the magic he’s become estranged from. New romance and optimism get them through the holidays, ready to face their next problems.

Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake

It’s been five years since Charlotte Donovan was ditched at the altar by her ex-fiancée, and she’s doing more than okay. Sure, her single mother never checks in, but she has her strings ensemble, the Rosalind Quartet, and her life in New York is a dream come true. As the holidays draw near, her ensemble mate Sloane persuades Charlotte and the rest of the quartet to spend Christmas with her family in Colorado—it is much cozier and quieter than Manhattan, and it would guarantee more practice time for the quartet’s upcoming tour. But when Charlotte arrives, she discovers that Sloane’s sister Adele also brought a friend home—and that friend is none other than her ex, Brighton.

All Brighton Fairbrook wanted was to have the holliest, jolliest Christmas—and try to forget that her band kicked her out. But instead, she’s stuck pretending like she and her ex are strangers—which proves to be difficult when Sloane and Adele’s mom signs them all up for a series of Christmas dating events. Charlotte and Brighton are soon entrenched in horseback riding and cookie decorating, but Charlotte still won’t talk to her. Brighton can hardly blame her after what she did.

After a few days, however, things start to slip through. Memories. Music. The way they used to play together—Brighton on guitar, Charlotte on her violin—and it all feels painfully familiar. But it’s all in the past and nothing can melt the ice in their hearts…right?

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

A lone human ambassador is sent to the icebound planet of Winter, a world without sexual prejudice, where the inhabitants’ gender is fluid. His goal is to facilitate Winter’s inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the strange, intriguing culture he encounters…

How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow

It all starts when Shani runs into May. Like, literally. With her mom’s Subaru.

Attempted vehicular manslaughter was not part of Shani’s plan. She was supposed to be focusing on her monthlong paleoichthyology internship. She was going to spend all her time thinking about dead fish and not at all about how she was unceremoniously dumped days before winter break.

It could be going better.

But when a dog-walking gig puts her back in May’s path, the fossils she’s meant to be diligently studying are pushed to the side—along with the breakup.

Then they’re snowed in together on Christmas Eve. As things start to feel more serious, though, Shani’s hurt over her ex-girlfriend’s rejection comes rushing back. Is she ready to try a committed relationship again, or is she okay with this just being a passing winter fling?

No Better Than Beasts by Z.R. Ellor

The Gogitdan siblings had suffered much to fight for their place in Szpratzian Society. Immigrants from the cursed neighboring kingdom of Kolznechia, they spent their childhood on the street and in workhouses until Vdradir, the eldest, lifted from poverty with the help of a wealthy patron.

Now nineteen, Nabik is a conflicted soldier, forever in the shadow of his older brother. Vdradir has been appointed governor, ruling and grasping for power with a merciless iron fist. And Drakne, their little sister, is a dancer who dreams of peace and comfort and protection. Together, they are as broken and divided as the land they once called home.

When a powerful enemy rises, and signs of war between the Szpratzian empire and Kolznechia begin to spread, the siblings are forced to choose―cling to power and safety or save the remains of their tattered bond? When Rat Kings and Pinewood Princes force them into the Kolznechian woods, the siblings will be forced to fight for their home and humanity with teeth and claw…

Don’t Stop Believing by Gwen Hayes

The Ogre from the Hill: Simon Powell, the town recluse, only comes to town to deliver firewood and get supplies. Two days before Christmas, he sees the new librarian’s car in a ditch and knows he can’t leave him on the road, but it’s too late to take him back to town. He’ll have something he’s never had in his cabin in the ten years that’s he’s lived there…company.

The Book Nerd from the City: Adam Parker moved to the small community to make big changes in his life, but being snowbound with the bearded lumberjack in his rustic cabin was something he’d thought only existed in his fantasies. Simon pushes away anyone who wants to get close to him, but Adam sees what he’s hiding in his heart and he wants it. Badly.

A Christmas to Remember: Adam smells like cinnamon and redemption and Simon aches to run his fingers over the scrape of stubble on his cheeks. To pull him into a kiss. To reignite feelings he’d denied himself for too long. Life is right there, blazing in the eyes of the town librarian. A man who isn’t afraid of him. But he learned long ago that everything he touches gets tainted, and he’ll do anything to keep his darkness away from Adam’s light.

But Adam has something else on his side—he’s been a very good boy this year and all he wants for Christmas is Simon.

1. Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?
I got different allowances. The first I remember was my mom offering me a penny per page I read; I earned $80 that summer. I used to get money for after school snacks when I was young, too. By late HS I got $10 then $20 per week. This was the late 90s. I used it to buy books and anime merch.

2. How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
I was 18 when I got my first job. I did quality control on media releases from Central Park Media, which used to put out a lot of anime and LA stuff from Japan. Mostly porn.

3. Which do you do better: save money or spend money?
Spend money, definitely, lmao.

4. Are people more likely to borrow money from you, or are you more likely to borrow from them?
I'm definitely more likely to loan money, unless it's from my immediately family. I don't think I've ever borrowed from a friend? At least not more than like "oh, I'm short $20, I'll pay you back in a few days" kind of borrowing.

5. What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
My apartment in New York City. It was $125,000. Our current home was $88,000, so that's second most expensive. Nothing else really comes close to either of those, but runners ups would be cars.

The most expensive leisure item I ever bought was Man with Gold Earring, a painting by Omar Rayyan. It was $5,000. Worth it.
oil painting of a middle aged, worn-looking man with large horns coming from his head. He wears a gold earring in one ear.

oil painting of a middle aged, worn-looking man with large horns coming from his head. He wears a gold earring in one ear.

I own the original of that. It's hanging over my bed. If I turn around rn while sitting at my computer, I can see it. I adore it and have never had any regrets. It took me almost two years to pay for it in installments.

A simple graphic on a blue background with a snowflake motif. Text reads 2025 Holiday Marketplace December 16 - 18th 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Empire State Plaza Concourse

Next week, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (the 16th, 17th, and 18th), I’ll be wrapping up my holiday vending by among 40 vendors with our wares laid out on the Concourse at Empire State Plaza! You can see the full vendor list and learn details on the Empire State Plaza website. This is a great chance to shop local this December and do some lunch-time browsing. I hope to see you there!

1. What are you currently reading?

The Apothecary Diaries light novel vol. 1 by Natsu Hyuuga: I am enjoying it a bit more than I enjoyed the manga and anime; I'm definitely finding the characters' inner monologues helpful, esp. the Jinshi pov.
Dream of the Red Chamber by Tsao Hsueh-Chih: I'm about halfway through and I think I'm finally managing to keep at least the main characters straight, lmao. It's intriguing, though, because I think a lot of understanding the book hinges on understanding societal norms of the place and time period - just like understanding Jane Austen requires understanding societal norms of the place and time period - and I don't know the societal norms for Qing China so sometimes I'm extremely lost on why someone's behavior was appropriate or inappropriate. I'm clearly missing oceans of subtext. If I keep learning about China stuff and reading books like this, I'd love to revisit the book in some far future where I'd actually understand all this stuff.
我和我对家 by PEPA: I have 11 pages left. I'm so close. I might finish it by next Weds.

2. What have you recently finished reading?

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill light novel vol. 1 by Ren Eguchi: this was fine I guess, and about as pointless and low key as the anime, but it lacks the charm that some of the other more pointless light novels I've read have to keep it fun and interesting, so it just kinda dragged for me. My libraries don't have more of the vols but I'm not sure I'd keep reading even if they did, I can just watch the show.
Goodbye, My Rose Garden vol. 2 and 3 by Dr. Pepperco: historical GL manga trilogy. the conclusion wrapped up very quickly and neatly, which made all the conflicts of the previous volumes seem a little pointless - if it was always so easy why did any of it matter? - but I still enjoyed this series, definitely one of the yuri titles I've read that I've enjoyed most.
Yona of the Dawn vol. 18 by Mizuho Kusangai: omg Zeno.
Kaiju No. 8 vol. 14 by Naoya Matsumoto: give me vol. 15 naaaaow
Paper Planes by Jennie Wood: modern drama between ace and nb friends. this was kinda a mess imo, though I don't really have it in me to go into why, mostly, "all of these people need to communicate in ways that make sense"
Daybreak vol. 1 by Moosopp: incredibly cute modern mlm(ish) between a he/they nb and a trans guy.
Hana & Hina After School vol. 2 and 3 by Milk Morinaga: modern GL trilogy. There was some really pointless late-stage drama but all in all this was fine and fluffy
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime manga vol. 2 by Fuse and Taiki Kawakami
Lullaby of the Dawn booklets 2 and 3 by Ichika Yuno: these are little 20-page spin-offs of the main manga series, not much to say about um
Angelica and the Bear Prince by Trung Le Nguyen: modern, NB love interest and background mlm. I didn't like this as much as The Magic Fish but it was still charming, and Nguyen's art is lovely.

3. What will you read next?

Novels: uh, I accidentally ended up with multiple Libby loans of novels so I gotta get through those. I'm reading one right now; the other two are Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle and A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett. I've got less than three weeks to read 'um all so I gotta focus on those for now. My hold on vol. 5 of Lout of Count's Family by Yu Ryeo-Han is also close to coming my way.

Graphic novels (library): I am NOT Starfire by Mariko Tamaki and Yoshi Yoshitani

Graphic novels (Libby): Girl Friends vol. 1 by Milk Morinaga is due in 3 days so I gotta read that. Nothing else is due in under a week, so idk.

A simple graphic entitled "Let's Talk 'Death of the Author' a Duck Prints Press panel." Text indicates that the panel is on Saturday, December 6 at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Bottom text reads "join patreon.com/duckprintspress for exclusive access." In the middle is clipart of a simple grave stone, with a quill pen in a bottom of ink on the stone face.

Our December Patreon panel is early in the month this time, coming up on Saturday, December 6th at 8 p.m.! We’ll be talking about Death of the Author by Roland Barthes (you can read it for free on the Internet Archive using this link) and related issues. If you’re a $7/month backer of our Patreon, I hope you’ll join us. And if you’re not yet a backer, I hope you’ll take a minute to check out all the awesome benefits we offer our supporters and help our indie press keep the doors open with your monthly support!

Panel Title: Let’s Talk “Death of the Author”

Description: In 1967, Roland Barthes wrote the essay The Death of the Author, criticizing reliance on authorial intention as the ultimate means of deriving meaning from a work, emphasizing instead the importance of each individual reader’s interpretation. Since then, the field of literary criticism has widely expanded, and now it’s common to see a full spectrum of types of interpretation, from those in which the old style of authorial intention still retains supremacy on the end of the spectrum, to, on the other end, those in which authorial intention is entirely dismissed or ignored in favor of solely elevating reader interpretation. In this panel, we’ll discuss the original essay, our views of the importance of authorial intent, our views on the importance on reader interpretation, where our own views place us on the spectrum, and specific cases of “Death of the Author” that we have personally grappled with.

Content Warning: This panel may include discussions of transphobia, sexual misconduct, or other issues with authors and/or crimes committed by authors, as it is likely that individuals such as J. K. Rowling and Neil Gaiman will factor in to our conversation.

Want to read Barthes’s article before the panel? You can do so! It’s only 8 pages long, and it’s available on archive.org.

Date: Saturday, December 6th
Time: 8 p.m. Eastern time (converter)

Panelists: Rhosyn Goodfellow, callmesalticidae, Zel Howland, Shannon Lippert, May Barros, YF Ollwell, and Vee Sloane

Nina Waters will serve as moderator.

Become a backer today!

Did you know? New backers at the $7/month level get instant access to recordings of over a dozen of our past panels, 16 past Patreon-exclusive digital artworks, and almost 100 short stories, with new works released every month. $10/month and $25/month backers get immediate access to even more!

1. What are you currently reading?

Dream of the Red Chamber by Tsao Hsueh-Chih: I'm making forward progress again. I. don't get it. I mean, it's very slice of life? I feel like I'm missing oceans of subtext about the relationships between these people.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill vol. 1 by Ren Eguchi: I'm making slow progress cause I'm trying to focus on my library books and because we keep having company. I'm so tired of people lmao.
我和我对家 by PEPA: I've missed a few days because of holidays and morning darkness mean I'm sleeping in, but I'm at 91% and expect to finish sometime this month. Still waffling on what Chinese book to read next.

2. What have you recently finished reading?

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twenthieth Century by Timothy Snyder: far from a perfect book, and there were a few things that had me raising a skeptical eyebrow (like the random unnecessary assumption of a Christian reader with a God reference), but the basic "keep fighting, don't surrender in advance, watch for these warning signs" parts were reassuring.
Poison Ivy: Thorns by Kody Keplinger and Sara Kipin: my "read all the queer graphic novels I can find" thing has me dipping a bit more into DC and Marvel characters who are canonically queer, so here I am. This was decent, presumably a retelling of Poison Ivy's backstory (I don't know her original backstory, oh well, lmao). Yes she's a lesbian in it.
Toxic Summer by Derek Charm: modern weird with a gay lead. It's basically all those crazy teen summer movies, just instead of cruising for girls, the main male characters are cruising for dudes, and then there's ~~aliens~~ hidden underwater civilizations and toxic sludge. It needed another 100 pages to really bring it all together imo, but it was okay.
Classmates vol. 4 by Asumiko Nakamura: modern BL. volume four is about a side character, who is a 37-year-old teacher who had a crush on one of the main story guys, who is a high school student. It was yucky when it was the 37 yo teacher perving on the 18 yo high school senior, and it's even yuckier in this one, when he's perving on a 15 year old freshman and they ultimately get together (tho not til the younger one is of-age). Still, I knew the dove was dead when I picked it up. I hated it about as much as I expected to, but it wasn't bad for what it was and aside from the (to me) inherent yuck of that age difference, it was handled about as well as it could have been. People in the reviews calling it grooming have no idea what grooming is. It definitely wasn't grooming. (obvs ymmv on what is yucky, but I don't personally enjoy age gaps that large, at least when the younger one is so young. 70 and 50, sure I'm there, but 37 and 15.....no thanks, I'll pass.)
Hana and Hina After School vol. 1 by Milk Morinaga: very very fluffy modern hs wlw. I could wish for more substance there but I've read Milk Morinaga before and am not surprised there wasn't, and it's undeniably cute and soft.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime vol. 1 by Fuse and Taiki Kawakami: I watched the anime of this transmigration story and thought, "I wonder if the light novel or manga are on Libby?" and there was the manga and here I am.
Sakamoto Days vol. 14 by Yuto Suzuki
Heavy Vinyl: Riot on the Radio by Nina Vakueva and Carly Usdin: girl fight club set in the late '90s with a lesbian protag. I liked this decently but wish it had been clearer it's a volume 1. Fortunately I scrounged up volume 2 on Libby. Thank you, Libby.

3. What will you read next?

Novels: if I somehow finish both novels I'm currently reading, I really need to get to Baker Thief by Claudie Arseneault. Book club is almost finished with it and I haven't started, oops.

Physical Library Loans: Paper Planes by Jennie Wood, Dozerdraws and Micah Myers is my next library read, followed by Daybreak by Moosopp and I Am Not Starfire by Mariko Tamaki and Yoshi Yoshitani. These books are so late, I really need to try to finish them all this week and return them.

Libby Loans: I need to finish Goodbye, My Rose Garden by Dr. Pepperco this week, as my loan on vol. 3 has only 6 days left (tho I have longer on vol. 2, lol, cause different libraries with different loan durations). Other than that, nothing is all that imminent so idk, it'll depend on my mood.

The Creature’s Tale Continues by Amalia Zeichnerin

summary: The creature has lost his love Elizabeth and his creator, Victor. But despite all the pain and suffering, he still has hope, so he travels on. His utmost desire is to find a companion. But who will ever love a monster?

The story of this fanfic starts after the end of the film by Guillermo del Toro. Please note that I am not a native speaker, so my English is not very literary. I sometimes write American English, sometimes British, and as this story is set in Europe, I chose British English. In this story, there is a romance, some kissing and cuddling, no spice. Both characters are on the ace spectrum. I included some quotes from historical poets and philosophers.

Now That You’re Done by Zel Howland

fiction || the scum villain’s self saving system || m/m || luo binghe/shen yuan | shen qingqiu || explicit || graphic depictions of violence, major character death || 17,559 || work in progress

summary: The doctors said it was a miracle Shen Yuan had woken up. A coma for three years plus a stroke have left him struggling with the basic tasks of daily living. But more concerning than the abilities he lost to his illness are the things he mysteriously gained: muscle memory of skills he never learned, habits and tastes more suited to a bygone era, and a strange, powerful grief for something he doesn’t remember.

It’s fine. He’s doing fine.

At least, he tells himself this, until he starts noticing a beautiful young man everywhere he goes, always watching him. Does…does he have a stalker?!?

Mosaic Haiku, Chapter 19: Happy Halloween! by EliotQueliot

poetry || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || general audiences || no major warnings apply || 200 || complete

summary: Mosaic Haiku is my art and poetry project celebrating the beauty of all life as expressed in the lifelong romance of Eliot and Quentin in the mosaic timeline. Chapter 19 imagines some of the Halloweens they celebrated with their son Teddy. The chapter includes 14 haiku stanzas; art will come later, as there are no photoscenes of these imagined Halloweens.

TUMBLR – AO3

the walls of my castle are broken by EliotQueliot

art || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || explicit || no major warnings apply || complete

summary: EliotQueliot created the watercolor painting (which is General Audiences) for this reverse bang; the inspiration comes from wanting Queliot to get together following the Mosaic; as a couple, they’d carry on having magical adventures together (they would certainly need to save each other from various dangers). Seashadows wrote the fic to accompany the art. The fic is rated Explicit. Please note that the tags listed apply to the fic.

Summary for the fic by seashadows:

“Stop saying it wasn’t us,” Quentin said, and took a step back. “But El, you should have said…” Although hadn’t he known Eliot was feeling all this, deep down? He was the most selfish person in the multiverse and he could barely fucking remember what happened. “It’s not that life I’m talking about now. I love you in this one.”

After Quentin’s experience with the Abyss Key on the Muntjac, a nightmare makes him brave enough to share his feelings with Eliot one more time – and everything changes.

New Explicit Imprint Stories:

Can’t Let Go by Dei Walker

modern with magic, f/f, underwater sex, tentacles

Excerpt:
The thrill of risk slides through her, warming her from the inside out. She curls her toes inside her flippers and takes another deep breath of cool, dry canned air.

The soft corals along the wall are pretty enough; one has a porcelain crab tucked into its fronds, and another the tiny shape of a pygmy seahorse, orange-pink with bumps to match its hiding place. There are wonders aplenty; she allows herself to snap a picture of the seahorse, then a second from a slightly different angle, as insurance.

When she lifts her head to continue swimming, the faint glow has moved farther away.

A cloud of bioluminescence moving like that? Her heart rate kicks up, interest piqued. Hope spreads in her chest. Something this unusual might be just what she needs.

Available to $25/month Patreon backers

We the Hunters by Lyonel Loy

fantasy, m/m, monster x monster, vers characters

Excerpt:

He sees the flash of fiery gold at the far end of the lake, where the water is dark with the shadows of kelp forests. Shimmering fins flicker amidst the swaying fronds, carefree and careless and bold.

What need has a merman for wariness?

King of the lake’s deep waters, sharp-toothed and sharp-clawed and strong. Even the gryphon, with his lion’s strength and eagle’s talons, ought to be wary, but the merman is far too enticing a prize.

Available to $7/month Patreon backers and higher

New General Imprint Stories:

My (24M) Cousin (23M) Fell in Love with One of Those Forest Mimics (???M?) and I Don’t Know What to Do by Nicola Kapron

modern, m/m, outsider point of view, formatted like a reddit post

Excerpt:

r/relationship_advice
u/ThrowawayOutOfTheWoods

You know those scary stories people tell around campfires and on dramatic horror vlogs about mysterious not-quite-human figures that slip into hiking groups and do all sorts of creepy stuff? Yeah. It’s one of those. He’s one of those? It’s hard to tell.

Available to all Patreon backers

Memory Scars by Adele Gardner

sci fi, established f/f, androids and free will

Excerpt:

Construction. Repair. Rebuild. Each fills me with a creeping dread, something I can’t name because I’m not allowed any words for it.

Each time I wonder: Am I the same person I was before whatever disaster shut me down?

Available to $5/month Patreon backers and higher

One Moon at a Time by R. L. Houck

modern supernatural setting, found family, lesbian main character, weres and creature shiftersExcerpt:
“Nice night, huh?” Lily leaned back on her palms and slanted her eyes to the side.

“I’ll call it a nice night if we make it to 6 a.m. without you turning wolf and trying to rip out my throat.”

Sagging in place, Lily scrubbed her palms down her thighs. At the end of the pass, she cupped her knees, staring at her abraded knuckles. “Do you think I’ll turn?”

Available to $10/month Patreon backers and higher

Patreon Reward Art:
Close of up a person's face, showing their nose with a piercing, their mustache, their plush lips, and their goatee. A hand, thick-fingered and with nail polish on the nails, reaches up to clutch their chin and pucker the skin. It's clearly a crop of a larger piece.

“Devour” by Aaron Kotze

This is a trim of a larger artwork. Aaron chose not to share the inspiration behind this piece.

Available to $5/month Patreon backers and higher

and lastly, this month's Patreon panel is later today! The topic...

A simple graphic featuring clipart of a pair of arms breaking the chain on the handcuffs they wear. Text reads: Making Non-Conformist Art Under Authoritarianism. a Duck Prints Press panel. Sunday, November 30 2 p.m. ET. join patreon.com/duckprintspress for exclusive access.

Description: Authoritarian regimes throughout history have sought to eliminate dissent in part by eliminating non-conformist art, while subverting what art they permit to be created to serve their dominant narratives. As much of the world makes a turn toward hard-right fascistic authoritarianism, many creators grapple with the stress, fear, and danger of living and creating despite threats to their livelihoods and very lives. In this panel, we’ll have a candid discussion of how others have faced these threats in the past and how we are doing so in our day-to-day lives. We will discuss both the risks and necessity of continuing to make art by and about people – queer, POC, gender-diverse, disabled, neurodiverse, etc. – whose voices authoritarian governments seek to suppress.

Date: Sunday, November 30
Time: 2 p.m. Eastern time

Have you been waiting for a close-up look at the merchandise items not highlighted in our first merchandise spotlight? Well, wait no longer! We’re in the final stretch of this campaign, and we’ve introduced all the contributors, which means it’s time for our final campaign update highlighting our offerings. Check out this merchandise we’re creating as part of our crowdfunding campaign to fund the publishing of Monsterotica: Tales of Unusual Courtship and Coupling!

Art Print of the Front Cover

Artwork of a winged person and tentacled person facing each other across a stretch of water. The winged person reaches with a wing toward the tentacled person, while tentacles caress the winged person's body.

The cover art created for this book by Siao Bell (Bluesky | Instagram) is too gorgeous to only use as the cover for a book, and so we’re delighted to offer it as a lovely 8.5 in x 11 in/21.5 cm x 28 cm art print brilliant colors with a matte finish.

Medusa Bookmark

A bookmark with art of a woman with snakes for hair, with a flower and snake behind her.

If you love your women snakey, you’ll definitely want our die-cut gorgon/medusa bookmark! The front features artwork by Jagoda Zirebiec (Tumblr | Twitter), and the back has the signatures of the contributors to Monsterotica! The bookmark is approximately 2 in x 7 in/5 cm x 17.75 cm with a die-cut corner, and will be printed on sturdy, glossy paper.

Quirky Monstery Postcard Collection

Mosaic of four postcards; one shows a boat with tentacles; one shows a collar, one shows a winged entity with a sword; and one has a checklist. More information on each: -our sword-bearing winged person (upper left) reads, "The mysterious guardian looks at you silently. You try to break the ice... > Heyyyy~ > Big Sword, Huh? > Awooga!!"; -the full moon checklist for discerning monsters (upper right) has a checklist of high-calorie snacks; hydration; painkillers; throat lozenges; spare clothes; spare socks; wet wipes; and towel; -the tentacle-adorned sailing ship (bottom left) text reads "Mast: Stay full mast under pressure. Now available without prescription. Individual results may vary."; and -the spiked-color checklist (bottom right) reads: "Do you wanna be my monster?" with the choices "Yes please!!!", "No thank you :(", and "Grrr bark bark woof arf grrr."

Xianyu Zhou, creator of our fun and funny Fannish Safety Signs sticker campaign (several of which are available as add-ons to this campaign!) has created these four charming post card designs.

These designs combine into one postcard set, containing four postcards, one of each design! The backs are mail-ready with a postcard template and place for stamp marked. Printing will be matte. Each postcard is 4 in x 6 in/10.2 cm x 15.25 cm.

You can get all this merchandise, plus our monstery campaign dux mascot, by backing the Kickstarter campaign for Monsterotica at the “flat merchandise” level – Backer Level 3. Or, if you just want some of the flat merchandise, you can also add individual copies of each of these merch items to any order than includes physical rewards!

Every month, we hold a convention-style panel during which creators we work with have a guided discussion about a panel either requested by our backers on Patreon or selected by the poll of panelists! This month, we’ll be talking about Making Non-Conformist Art Under Authoritarianism.

Panelists: J. D. Rivers, Sebastian Marie, Puck Malamud, Rascal Hartley, Lucy K. R., and Shannon Lippert. Nina Waters will serve as moderator.

Did you know? Backers of our Patreon at the $7/month level not only can attend new panels, they can also view recordings of 14 past panels we’ve hosted on topics ranging from “What the Heck Even is Genre” to “Bullying and Harrassment in Fandom.”

Author: Nicole Doen

About: Nicole Doen lives in Western Washington with her family and her mischievous herd of cats (who are also family, but deserve special recognition). She has been a fan writer for over ten years and discovered fandom well before that thanks to watching Sailor Moon as a child. She enjoys stories featuring intrigues, complicated romantic entanglements, and unexpected mixes of genres. Though writing is her primary interest, she also likes knitting, zines, solo rpgs, and sitting by the water.

Story Title: A Promise Given to the God of War

Excerpt:

“Monastic practices, ancient and modern, ought not be plundered for sport,” a staid voice called from behind me, pulling me from the depths of a tome discussing how the gods used to be called to ground, consecrating it in the name of Priora’s ancient, fractured state. That was before Vetthar defeated them one by one.

The ritual is described in detail excess enough to make even me blush. Being taken by a terrifyingly beautiful god in tripled form might do the same to anyone.

Startled from my musings, I nearly topple the stack of books at my side. Only when I see them do I realize it’s Evalan speaking to me. Because she became the empress’s chosen Bliss when I was just starting out, we’re not close and I hold no special esteem for them, but I offer formal obeisance to a respected member of our craft regardless.

It feels like the right thing to do, even if they have come to chastise me.

A shard of frustration lodges itself in my heart. There’s nothing worse in this world than being caught unprepared, especially not by someone with more power and luck than you.

Author: Taliesin Owens

About: Taliesin is a queer author who grew up bouncing around Europe and the US and currently calls Chicago home. They’ve been writing stories since they had to pester their mom to help them transcribe their words on the family desktop computer. They work as a stage manager and dog walker, and hold a Master’s degree in Humanities, with a focus in literature. No amount of school or chaotic array of part-time jobs has yet managed to stop them from reading and writing voraciously. They can also occasionally be found doing calligraphy, baking, or getting really excited about Shakespeare. They have previously contributed stories to the anthologies Many Hands and A Truth Universally Acknowledged, also from Duck Prints Press.

Story Title: Good Memories

Excerpt:

Kepetios has only a vague understanding of the mers and their Memories. It knows the mers pull them from people and objects alike, and that they use them as food. It also knows they trade them, though it has never bothered to learn the social particulars of which Memories get traded to whom and why. It has never in its many scores of seasons had a mer try to offer it a Memory.

But there the crimson-tailed mer is, floating cautiously in front of Kepetios’ face, holding out cupped hands with the little silver light of a Memory nestled in them. Kepetios glances up, to where the rest of the mers are still gleefully darting around the wreckage of the ship, dragging Memories out of hammocks and cannons and the splintered walls of the ship. It looks back down to the crimson mer, xer arms outstretched, waiting.

You are… offering this Memory… to me?
