'Tis Impressed Reader Touting Works - 2021.12.25
I'm starting the new TIRTW format off with one of my favorite stories (and companion pieces) that I read before I was practiced at leaving comments. By the time I got better at them, I could no longer leave them, because the author, taking care of eir mental health, turned them off. (I would have too).

Summary: These are a collection of the small, non-canon prompt requests I take on Tumblr. They go with the primary fic Keeping Secrets. Most are in second person. All are non-canon unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description. Will be updated periodically as I get requests. All works are un-edited and un-proofread. Yes, there's smut. Here for the smut? Look for the * by the chapter titles.
🔸 One of my favorite things about Keeping Secrets is that Emma, the protagonist, is unapologetically bisexual and has messy, beautiful, complicated relationships on the way to the slowest of slow burns end ship. (Lee's gotten a lot of flack for this, which absolutely sucks, and is why I lead with it because KS is also a HSE WIP and ey doesn't need to hear any more complaints.) All of Emma's relationships, romantic & platonic, are incredibly written. She's a lovable mess who cares.
🔹 Emma is not the inquisitor. Prior to joining the Inquisition, she carved herself, an elf, in Orlais, a place as a scribe and scholar; before the Red Templars decided to wreak havoc everywhere, that is. Needless to say, she is a force to be reckoned with 😄 and a delight to read about.
🔸 Uniquely, for a named character fic, KS is written in the second person, which, in addition to the lovely, sometimes comedic, situations resulting from an inherently unreliable narrator; lends an immediacy to the dialogue and action that kept me reading, the first time, almost through the night (multiple times). You get a front row seat to Emma's hopeful, cynical, logical, chaotic, fumbling, yet eminently competent muddle of a brain as she does her best to help while hiding that which she thinks she needs to hide.
🔹 Oh... and Emma can fangirl with the best of us! 💖
(previous TIRTWs & TIRTW Key/Legend)
It is late in the month to be posting this, but for the remainder of Pride Month I've made my Adventures of Watts and Sherlock free on Smashwords! (The first book is 'pay what you want' but now you can grab the next two books for $0!) It's a mystery/slow burn series that takes the Sherlock Holmes genre and tosses it into a cyberpunk dystopia.
"In a futuristic city, a young doctor finds himself living with a strange man named Sherlock, who is attempting to emulate his literary namesake to a disturbing degree. Dr. Watts soon finds himself whisked along as Sherlock solves cases of theft, blackmail, kidnappings, and murder. Now if only he could figure out what possessed him to agree to this."
Here's a link to the series, and the coupon code is MK86K
Enjoy!
omg we love to see it 😭
100 lgbtq+ videogames characters (153): ZAGREUS (Hades)
Morales chats with The Advocate about making history as a queer woman of color playing network TV's first bisexual sitcom lead.
“The new NBC comedy Abby’s offers a straight-forward premise that fits perfectly with the multi-cam sitcom format that dominated TV comedies for decades — a no-nonsense former marine opens an unlicensed bar in her backyard where she surrounds herself with a group of loveable patrons who abide by her quirky rules. Even as the series bears the familiar audio of being filmed before a live audience and the recognizable shot-reverse-shot camera work prevalent in multi-cam comedies, Abby’s is quietly revolutionary in its casting of Natalie Morales, a queer Cuban woman, to play the titular character, TV’s first bisexual lead in a comedy who is also a woman of color.
“It's a huge deal, not only personally, but just that the character is the first bisexual lead of a network show and we meet her ex-girlfriend!” Morales tells The Advocate.
It’s no secret that the character of Abby is bisexual, something Morales says creator Josh Malmuth and executive producer Mike Schur (Parks & Recreation, The Good Place) wanted from the start. The show's first two episodes set up the world of the bar and the denizens who frequent it. But the third episode entitled “Free Alcohol Day” (airing tonight) features Abby matter-of-factly telling her new landlord Bill (Nelson Franklin) she’s bisexual when her ex-girlfriend turns up to deliver the “free alcohol.”
“It’s a huge deal for me,” Morales says of carrying the mantle of bi visibility, especially since it's also personal.
“I never saw that growing up. I never saw anything like that and especially not on network television and especially like an LGBTQ+ character that wasn't in peril and who wasn't going to be killed or their girlfriend was going to die in their arms or whatever,” Morales says.

Watching this for the first time now - the jokes are so-so but it REALLY is awesome seeing a bisexual lead character!! This is S1, Ep3. “Free Alcohol Day”
I dunno, I just saw some parallels between these scenes--
