Fascinating thread about appropriation, art, games, and cultural "ownership" versus being a good guest in someone else's house, all while talking about a ttrpg

Don't forget to use the community tab! Jams are traditionally done in teams (in regards to games) and I think that sentiment should extend to all mediums: novels, comics, etc.

It's a great place to help someone out with their project or to offer up your project!

No screw, but messed, that I can do :)

“You think someone’s messed with the wards?”
She waved at the counter. “I won’t know until I’ve scanned it. But with this mess, I prefer not to take chances.”

I Always wrote a mix of both, but still leaning more towards first person.

It's so funny... It wasn't all that long that readers kept telling me they hated reading first person

The 'when you're wearing sunglasses no one can tell what you're looking at' meme with a dark elf disaster girl and her half-gnoll girlfriend.

Cover art for Waking Up A Goddess Beats HRT: But, How Do I Save A World!?

Want a very gay, trans, and polyamorous isekai adventure?

How about a story where our protagonist is handed divine powers but isn't told how to use them?

Poor Emily has no idea what's she's doing.

Purr-fect Timing by D.T. Brandt Leona thought she was ghosted. Now she has to apologize to Neven and make it up to him!

My #TranshetJam submission, "Purr-fect Timing," is now LIVE as an epub!!! Only 10.5k funny, spicy words.

Many thanks to @darkchibishadow.bsky.social for hosting the event, and making my newest blorbos look so darn good!

An ad for the Trans Dudes and Trans Women collections!

Thanks to the Transhet jam, both M/F themed trans collections have reached 100 submissions!

Trans Dudes with Gals:

Trans Women with Guys:

These collections have overlap but there's a fair bit of difference since some of the partners are cis. Enjoy!
