CALLING TRANS AND NON-BINARY WRITERS

Hello! My name is Charlie and I'm a trans boy from England. I want to create a Tumblr blog specifically for writers of the non-cis variety, to discuss and uplift each other in a market where we are next to invisible.

I'm currently studying Creative Writing at university and hope to build this platform with the intention of showing the publishing market that people want to read books, by trans and nb folk, about trans and nb folk.

I'm followed by a fair few writeblrs so ask that if you are a writeblr please reblog this post, but specify in the tags whether you are cis or not. I would love the help of spreading this post by cis allies however I would prefer if the blog I created was specially for trans & nb folk for the aforementioned reasons!

Please message me if you would be interested in being an admin for the blog! I would like to know: your name, pronouns, age, location (country/ state), what genres you enjoy writing and finally, why you'd like to be admin/ what you think you could contribute to the network.

Thank you kindly dears!!

Titans of Aralith

Excerpt of some funky fresh Lore about the world where my new book is set.

Before the small mortals of Aralith were brought to life by The Bright Sun, there were the Titans.

Giant, bizarre creatures moulded by Malïel to shape the world as he desired. Raising mountains and carving riverways, the Titans were as varied as they were strong.

The size of the mountains they created, Malïel would look upon his children and be pleased. They were loyal and powerful, dominating all they were told to.

But, like all children, they were often reluctant to follow their father’s orders.

The first rebellion ended in the confiscation of their weapons and tools. The Titans were displeased, but this did not signal their demise.

The second rebellion ended in the removal of their sustenance. The Titans became desperate, clawing at their stomachs and throats with hunger and thirst.

But, it was their third rebellion that ended them entirely. This was the event that caused their demise.

Pushing back against their father was not a wise decision. His wrath, now known across Aralith, was swift and sadistic.

It began in the frozen north, the Ice Titans were paralysed by their father’s rage.

The paralysis then passed to the Sand Titans, the Sea Titans, the Forest Titans, and finally, the Dark Titans. This disease crossed the planet as a wave of rain and lightning, striking the children of Malïel without discrimination or mercy.

The cries of the Titans still echo in the thunder of their father, and in the crashing waves of his lover. Their bodies still stand: gigantic, frozen figures across the world, instilling fear and awe in all who see them.

The small mortals tell whispered tales of these monsters. Some say the so-called corpses are simply statues built by long-forgotten ancestors. Some say that the Titans can see and hear everything, taking in everything since the day they were frozen, while others say they are simply dead. Some deny their entire existence, saying the towering figures are simply hallucinations caused by the Patron of Change. And some, foolishly, prophesise their return.

Below is a list of Aralith's most noted Titans, monstrous beings, frozen in time.

Aemoch the Many Horned, a six-armed, six-horned Titan covered in mouldy, ragged fur. Many miles away from Milarrian, he straddles the River Hagi, just as it cuts through the Farskell Mountains.

Iblis the Bound, a bronze-coloured Titan, with an enormous metal pyramid where a face should be. The hands of her figure are bound with lengths upon lengths of dwarven chains. Her figure towers above the entrance gates of Fujiya.

Agon the Shining, a broad-shouldered, heavily armoured Titan, who wielded his sword, Mountslayer, with abandon. His figure seems to have been paralysed in mid-stride, in the deserts of Tshundi.

The Night Seers. Ang, Lia and Pei, the figures of these sisters are set next to one another in the depths of the Partovan swamps. Enormous creatures, with the torso of a wendigo and the legs and lower body of a horse, the joining of these two halves has decayed in each figure, exposing three spines as thick as tree trunks.

Mara the Worldcrusher, a veiled, four-armed woman with glowing blue eyes. Her figure holds a replica of the planet and floats several feet above the ground in a fixed position in a forest clearing in Bektai.

Hayal the Wise. With his figure sat upon a vast, white marble throne, his head has split open and appears to be made of near-translucent, white stone. Beside him, there are several giant, red-bound scrolls with unreadable words upon them. His figure sits at the northernmost point of Shimmer Lake.

Dagon the Vast, a truly monstrous, skeletal Titan, now impaled with his own sword on the side of the Farskell Mountains.

Aræa the Beautiful. Now suspended in the waters of Lake Vicia, her pearlescent, shell coloured robes float freely in the crystalline waters.

Dagos the Small. The brother of Dagon the Vast, this skeletal Titan’s form is the smallest of all the forms across the globe and seems to have been frozen mid-stride across the Lower Wastes of Reinskall.

The Swampbitten. Triplets, with crescent-shaped skulls and dangling, hook-like hands, whose forms now tower above the black swamps of Partova.

Koil of the Depths. Once a towering, draconic Titan who drowned the world to create the oceans, a skeletal figure of him now lies at the bottom of the port of Capio, clearly visible through clear, blue waters.

Raz’ac the Fanged. Only the skull of his figure is visible above the ground. Razor-toothed and massive, the skull gives way to an emaciated body, frozen in a state of decay.

Milarrian the Fey-Touched. A four-legged Titan, now frozen in the woods of Bektai, stands across the roaring River Hagi. A small village has since been built on their back, which now sprouts a vast variety of rare plants and flowers.

Igael the Blue. Nothing more than a head is shown of the figure of this Titan. Its eyes glow bright blue and can be used as a guide to weary travellers in the jungles of Namektai.

Yorum the Cracked. With his figure frozen in Feris Lake, his four horns and ragged, icy skin are markers of the centre of the murky, often poisoned lake.

Draxa the Iceburnt. Crouched next to Feris Lake, staring out across the water, she is used as a marker that signals the way to the Lower Wastes.

Nama and Nurtu, the Many-Eyed. Enormous, deer-like Titans, now their figures are set on the hills of western Katai, with their eyes glowing out through the mist.

Ophech the Sunset Girl. With her figure now resting, impaled by her sword on the side of the Kabe Dunes, the trail up the dunes to her figure is littered with graves and weapons.

Baraph the Half-Formed. An enormous Titan, with cracked, golden skin and no eyes, his figure is partially buried in the deserts of Tshundi.

Sadyan the Clouded One. Face shrouded by a blue-white hood and towering at the gates to the Metal Fields of Katai, Sadyan’s clothes are ghostly blue, and seem to absorb the clouds into them.

Zago the Monstrous. With sprouting, bony horns sprouting from her head, Zago sits cross-legged, nestled in the Shadowed hoods, wearing a woollen, needlehorn cloak. Her lap is covered and hands are covered in blood.

Reiba the Faceless. The face of this figure has been gouged out by something unknown. Two large, deer-like horns sprout from either side of where Reiba’s face should be. Her figure stands in The Joining Lovers.

While these may be the most noteworthy of the Titans, and the most spectacular, they are by no means the only frozen giants on Aralith. There are hundreds that have been discovered by the small mortals, and maybe hundreds more, far beneath the ground.

Are There Lesbians? No

What Happens? Ida can time travel. Or at least that's what she thinks is happening. In fact, she is constantly shifting through universes and her other selves are not happy about it.

The Verdict: I have a confession to make. I don't really like Australian lit. This is most likely due to being force-fed all sorts of mediocre classic Australian texts at school and as such, I have built up a strong resentment towards the genre as a whole. What this means however, is that when I do read something from an Australian author that I like, I am delightfully surprised. IDA is one such text. I had trepeditions going into it a) because I am wary of Auslit, but also b) I’ve never particularly liked the use of Narnia-style alternate universes in novels. Its turns out that I was somewhat misled by the blurb however, and need not have been worried about the latter (there are no coming of age style adventures in another land here). The former concern turned out not to be a worry either because damned if this isn't a fantastic book. Alison Evans has written the best AusYA novel I have read since reading Finding Cassie Crazy in high school. They have earned the Peoples Choice Award for the Vic Premier's Literary Award a thousand times over, and I would love to see their work gain more recognition. This review has actually come at a bit of a crazy moment as Alison has become the focus of Piers Morgan and some of his followers. This sort of ignorance and desire to focus on the lives of others is both sickening and saddening. I don't want this to be the focus of my review but it's definitely going to be overshadowed by it. I loved this book and Alison has done so well to get where they are. If I can convince you to check out IDA please do so, and help support this amazing queer author!

IDA is chock-full of queer characters. There's only like one straight person in this book and I am living. The main character is Bi and in love with a non-binary person (and I love their love and want them to be happy) and two other side characters are both genderqueer and, frankly, their outfits sound #goals. Not only is my queer saturation level met, but the characters are extremely well written. They are all emphatically queer without going through the trope-filled coming-out storyline or struggle against prejudice. Sure, Ida especially doesn't know what she wants in life, but the novel manages to be about that without pushing her queerness to the side. I think there is a fine balance between a novel simply being about the fact that the main character is queer and a character being "just like everyone else but I like people of the same gender etc," and Alison has managed not only to find it, but use it with aplomb.

I really cannot stress enough how much I love this book. IDA has some wonderfully tense moments and it would be easy to categorise it as a horror or thriller. I was constantly rooting for all the characters, but particularly for Ida to get back to her partner Daisy. The worlds in which they didn’t know each other broke my heart! There is also a fantastic visual element to the novel which makes it easy to feel as if you are a part of things. To return to referring to IDA as a horror novel for a moment, Alison manages to find everyday things - like a tea stain - and make them unreal and, quite frankly, a little terrifying. In my fiction I love this sort of twisting of the everyday into something strange. It is how it is so easily inserted into the “real” world which creates a feeling of unease and wonder. It’s really fantastic to see this sort of thing being so well executed.

I don't want to give too much away because everyone should read this book. It is not only an excellent piece of Australian lit, but an excellent work in general and one that can easily stand on the world stage. If this is the future of Australian YA, then I am so fucking excited, and can't wait to see what Alison does next.
