Support Independent Queer Publishing: Become a Duck Prints Press Patreon Backer! Like/Reblog to Enter a Giveaway!
Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher owned by @unforth/Nina Waters, founded by fancreators to help fanartists and fanfiction writers publish their original work, with an emphasis on works featuring LGBTQIA+ characters, needs YOU!
There are two ways for you to help, now through September 30th:
like and share this post on the platform(s) of your choice to help us spread the word – and to enter a giveaway for an original copy of the first edition of our debut anthology Add Magic to Taste! (Scroll down for details.)
become a Patreon supporter, help an awesome small business, get backer rewards, AND get a merch freebie valued up to $5 US!
To help us maximize the amount of money we can pay to creators, we rely on our Patreon to pay our overhead costs. As things stand, we need to bring in about $750 a month to pay our baseline monthly expenses…and as of now, we’re bringing in about $550 per month. Factoring in our website and other online sales, vending, and crowdfunding campaigns, Duck Prints Press is currently breaking even, but we can’t grow, initiate more projects, pay creators more, expand our offerings, get software and equipment that will help us streamline our processes, and more…without enough money coming in to ensure we make ends meet each month.
That’s where you come in! The more people support us on Patreon, even just at $3/month, the more we’re able to do!
In exchange for monthly support, we offer a bunch of cool rewards to people who choose to back us, with 5 support levels ranging from $3/month to $25/month. All backers get coupons to use in our webstore, access to our Discord, behind-the-scenes blog posts, voting rights on polls that decide anthology themes, and at least one free short story per month. At higher levels, backers get exclusive merchandise, one artwork per month, access to our monthly Duck Prints Press Panel, bonus stories, free selections from our book catalog, extras for supporting our crowdfunding campaigns, and more!
We can reach our goals, and you can get lots of excellent stuff, by backing the Press on Patreon now! AND you’ll get your choice of a freebie if you back during the month of September! (All our current backers will get to claim a freebie too, as a THANK YOU for their long-time support of our work.)
What can you get?
This giveaway is the only way to get access to Patreon-exclusive merchandise usually reserved for Patreon backers who also support our crowdfunding campaigns! Here’s the exclusives we have on offering for this year’s freebies:
You can get any merchandise item we offer on our webstore that costs $5 or less, or you can claim a backer-exclusive reward previously only available to Patrons! The Patreon exclusives that I have leftovers of, listed left to right, top to bottom, are:
A Truth Universally Acknowledged – this version of this design is only available in this set of 5 note cards with envelopes (art by A. A. Weston)
The Salt in the Sea – blue iridescent acrylic wave pin (art by planetsandmagic) (only 4 available)
Pride Dragons – Gilbert Baker Pride Flag and Intersex Inclusive Pride Flag acrylic pins (art by Florilege) (only 5 and 4 of these respectively)
Hockey Bois – standee of chibi art of the two main characters (art by diminuel) (only 1 available!!)
Scrap Metal Angel – rainbow feather magnet featuring the same art as the chapter dividers (clip art) (only 4 available)
He Bears the Cape of Stars/She Wears the Midnight Crown – sun/moon day/night mask die-cut sticker (art by Aceriee)
Aim For The Heart – musketeer of pierced hearts magnet (art by Aceriee) (only 1 available!!)
Many Hands – poly pride flag dragon with hologram stars (art by reshipkmn)
Missed Fortunes – post card of the cover art (art by Jade Hallett)
If none of these are to your taste, on duckprintspress.com we’ve got bookmarks, stickers, key chains, magnets, and more!
All backers, current and new, who back at the $25/month level by the end of September will ALSO get our 2026 Calendar of Queer Art as a freebie! You can learn more about the calendar on our webpage.
Wait, what was that about a giveaway?
Don’t want to be a backer but want to help us spread the word? Have we got a giveaway for you! To encourage people to share this post, we’re offering a free copy of the first edition of our first anthology Add Magic to Taste, which features 20 sweet, fluffy, queer stories set at magical coffee shops, tea houses, and bakeries. There are only three mint, print copies of this book left, and they’re not for sale – this is the rare chance to get one for yourself!
Want to help a small, fan-run, aroace-agender-owned independent business get more support, and maybe win something awesome for your efforts? Then enter the giveaway! You get one entry for liking this post, and one entry per reblog/reskeet/share for up to three reblogs/reskeets/shares! AND you can get additional entries by sharing our posts on different platforms: we’re posting shareable versions of the giveaway on Tumblr, Pillowfort, Bluesky, and Mastodon! (Note: we will NOT give entries for people making their own posts. We love when people make their own posts, but they’re too difficult for us to track for giveaway purposes.)
TL:DR: Duck Prints Press is a growing indie press working with fancreators to publish queer art and fiction. Become a backer on Patreon during September 2025, and get all the backer rewards associated with the backer level you select PLUS a freebie worth up to $5. Help spread the word and get entries to win a fabulous print anthology available nowhere else!
Stuff for us, stuff for you – couldn’t be better! Don’t miss your chance: this event ends September 30th, 2025!
(And don’t forget to sign up for our mailing list so you can hear about our latest projects, merchandise releases, crowdfunding campaigns, publications, coupons, and more!)
Thanks in advance, everyone.

Heeeey… who out there wants to support this lovely independent press that I sometimes write short stories for?
Plan of Action and Complaint Template Regarding Adult Content Being Delisted from Itchio
Alright so as y’all may or may not know, credit card companies and other payment facilitators have put pressure on digital storefronts such as Steam and Itch.io to remove “adult content” recently largely due to lobbying by fringe radical organizations. It would be bad enough if it just affected actual porn, but you know to these people “porn” means “anything that even mentions a homosexual.” Several of my team’s projects including mini-expansions to Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy “The Fanservice Files” and “The XXX-Files,” as well as team artist @chaospyromancy’s personal side project “A Squad of Drow” have been delisted from itch.io as of last night though they are still available by direct link or from our main account page and you can still pay us for them for now but there is no telling how long they'll actually stay up. Many others have had their projects completely delisted or outright removed, and are having payments withheld from them. If you don't want to see us and other creators pushed under by this crap, you need to do something about it.
People affected by this far outnumber the people who lobbied to make it happen. These organizations are very vocal but also relatively small and very fringe, and since it is a policy decision that was created by complaints it may be able to be destroyed by complaints.
Here are the phone numbers of these companies and an email address I was able to find. We need to blow their phones off the wall and fill their inboxes with customer complaints.

Saying stuff like “sex work is real work” and “this affects black trans women,” while true, is not the kind of thing that is going to tug at the heartstrings of lib-conservative CEOs and board members and their PR teams. They’re mercenary. You need to tell them how this is going to hurt their wallets and make their customers very unhappy.
If feasible, you need to get your moms and dads on this too, and get them to get their friends on it, etc.
40-60-year old middle class white people high credit scores and stuff will have more sway with these corporations than any young adult trans person.
My team has put together a template for your phone calls and emails. Take the template and delete the [bracketed parts] that don’t apply to you.
“My name is [_____], and I’m contacting you about your recent decision to alter your user policies regarding adult content and thereby putting pressure on digital storefronts like itch.io and Steam to hide and remove adult content. By doing so, you're cutting off a significant revenue stream, [and as someone with financial investment in your company, this has me extremely concerned]
[I both buy and sell that blocked content, so this is directly interfering in my finances, and I will seek compensation.]
Products I paid for are no longer available to me, [and people are buying my products without the money going to me because of your interference with the payment processing.]
If you don’t want to lose customers and face potential legal trouble, these policies which pressure itch.io, Steam, and other digital storefronts need to be reversed.
You have changed these policies because of Collective Shout, a radical group from Australia that sent only a mere 1000 calls to destroy a significant revenue stream on your part and to interfere with my finances. This decision literally affects millions of people and millions of dollars, and so I expect a prompt response on reversing these policy changes and removing the pressure on itch.io and Steam to ban adult content on their sites. [As a cardholder, I worry that these new policies are responding to a vocal minority of customers, and I’m left doubting the reliability, versatility, and integrity of your services. I use these services to securely and conveniently make the transactions I see fit, and it’s disappointing to see legitimate, legal transactions be excluded.]
[I am furious that an American company would bend so easily to a lobbying group from a foreign country.]”
There is also a petition you can sign here.
REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.
Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.
“do you think you’ll still be writing fanfic when you’re 90?” yes, I do, and I hope AO3 is still here with me when I’m a 90 year old childless fanfic writer who writes slow burn dead dove do not eat dubcon gay sex enemies to lovers. next

Would you consider someone who makes $65,000 USD per year to be rich?
Yes
No

Who the fuck is voting no and can you please give me your money? Sincerely someone who makes about $17,000 a year
Aside from the fact that it varies by area (there are cities that are hard to live in for any less than that), “rich” and “solidly middle class” are two very different categories. That can be hard to see when you aren’t even in the second one, but it’s true. Those people making $50k more than you probably have health insurance and a decent car, maybe even own a home, but they probably don’t have enough savings to pay for a medical emergency that their insurance doesn’t cover. They’re not taking multiple fancy vacations a year, though especially if they don’t have kids they might manage one small trip a year.
I grew up poor. My husband and I together make more than I dreamed of as a kid, and part of me feels like we’re rich. But like. We have good retirement accounts, but we have to save up for a couple years if we need a new (used) car. We can go on cool vacations… once every few years. I don’t have to agonize over every $20 purchase, which took me a LONG time to stop doing, but $20 is in fact a super low bar for agonizing over. Just because I was poor doesn’t actually mean I’m rich now. Not having to worry about the necessities day to day is (should be) middle class.
The actual super-rich people want you to believe that the middle class is rich. They WANT YOU to think that having the necessities taken care of is only for the rich! You see? They want you to believe that you are middle class and the middle class is rich, so they can point to the numbers and go “see, lots of people are middle class still, everything is fine” when the middle class they’re pointing to is not the middle class of 50 years ago.
Not stressing over the necessities every day SHOULD BE the absolute lowest base marker for middle class, and it SHOULD BE possible for anyone with a full-time job*. It was 40-50 years ago. It’s not anymore, and the super-rich don’t want you to watch as they slowly pull that rug out from under you.
*Ok yes NOBODY should have to worry about these things but for the purposes of this post I will not be going into UBI. I’m focusing on how the uber-rich have forced down the definition of middle class, which is more about wage stagnation etc etc etc.
My multiple chronic illnesses, part-time jobs which mean I have to pay for my own medical insurance, and student loans totaling over 130k say my 65k is not rich
Starting @tf-bigbang strong with my artwork for @fuzipenguin's fic "No Rest for the Wicked"!

An ask
Hey, guys! I made a bit of an oopise with my TF Big Bang fic announcement and included my artist's pic without permission. Got too excited to show everything off and didn't think. I know it's a big ask, but if you reblogged that post from me, could you delete it? I know reblogs can go far so I can't catch them all, but every little bit helps. It's much appreciated. Thank you!
Prepare yourselves for a Mini-Bang (though many of our participants DID NOT LISTEN and overshot the minimums by a LOT). Posting period starts tomorrow, Wednesday 17Jul-Sunday 21Jul. We hope you enjoy what everyone has worked on 💖✨
My Sunstreaker fic coming soon! Aiming on today, just some work stuff and errands to knock off my list first. You know… life 🙄
Preview for my work for @fuzipenguin's wonderful fic! Done for this year's reverse @tf-bigbang of course ;)
You don’t even understand, everyone… this was a *reverse* big bang. Meaning art came first, then fic. My original artist disappeared and @cerebrocentric-bullet stepped in as an artist pinch hitter. So we reversed uno’d this thing kinda on the fly and the art still looks amazing.
