Rogan: Hey guys! I felt so crummy about missing out on all the Pride business opportunities this month that I've decided to throw a special art commission thing for the next month: The Queer Canoodling Commission Special!

I will draw your headmates, OCs, etc. kissing, cuddling, and kanoodling, in a limited palette of the pride or system colors of your choice! $30 for two figures, $50 for three, other options available if you ask. Unlike my normal (more expensive) commissions, these come with zero rounds of edits unless I decide I've made a mistake. What you get is what you get.

Some examples! (If nothing else, this can be an excuse to post rainbow pics of us being sappy together!)
There's room for everyone under this rainbow! )

Interested? DM us, email us, or leave a comment (anon comments are turned on, so no Dreamwidth account is required)!

Mori goes to Rawlin and says, 'Dunno if I like proper kissing. Can I give it a shot?' Rawlin chuckles placidly. 'Sure.' Mori leans in to kiss her, only for her eyes to go wide and her fur to involuntarily fluff. Not noticing, Mori pulls away. 'Hmm... still not sure... might need more trials... you?' Rawlin touches her lips with her gloved hand and just says, '...I like it.'

A janky GIMP pen drawing of Mori shrugging. In her speech bubble is a post from Phosphor of Hungry Ghosts: "'that's like saying God should not treat his creations however he sees fit--' well, you see, if god was real I would simply kill him. skill issue."

A much sketchier drawing of Mori smirking dramatically, one hand to her chest, the other thrown out with a flame at one fingertip. She oversees a burning fire, and her speech bubble contains another Phosphor post: "maybe YOU can't kill god. but lbr. that's a you issue, my friend, not a me issue"

Crisis Planning: Legal Stuff: Wills, Organ/Body Donations, and DNR/MOLST/POLST Forms
Series: Essay (Crisis Planning)
Summary: A guide to living wills, health care agents, organ/body donations, and DNR/MOLST/POLST forms (i.e., how to make sure you get the care you want and not the stuff you don't when you're unable to make your desires known).
Notes: Winner of the fan poll this month! If you want to support my work, join LiberaPay or Patreon and get double-weight for your votes. Also, these crisis plan essays have proven so popular (and regrettably necessary) that we have made a whole ebook of them up for sale for $5 here.

Nobody likes to think about this stuff, but seriously, think it over, especially if any of the following is a concern of yours:
• Ending up under the care of your abusers if medically incapacitated.
• Being denied medical care you need, leading to your “merciful” death.
• Making sure your loved ones know what to do if you’re in a coma.
• Donating your body to science.

Rogan: I love drawing handwraps, they're so aesthetically appealing, but it's also tricky to find good reference for them! Fortunately, the largest, HEAVIEST book I own is Howard Schatz's At the Fights, an ENORMOUS photobook of boxers. I regret the Brobdignagian size of the thing (and the WEIGHT, oof, that book must weight close to ten pounds) but I had fun pulling it out for reference sketches on this month's Patreon postcards...

Pluralstories: Why We Did It Like That
Summary: "Librarians are the secret masters of the universe. They control information. Never piss one off." --Spider Robinson
Word Count: 3450
Notes: Winner of the fan poll this month and sponsored by our fans at LiberaPay and Patreon! Derelict from a "plurals in video games" academic paper that didn't end up happening.

We first got the idea of making a catalog of plural stories in 2009, back when we were in library school. People seemed to want one, and we heard plenty of complaints along the lines of, "I just want to read a story about people like me!" but at best there were lists of a few favorites on a blog or (later on) in an itch.io collection. Arguably the closest thing to a comprehensive catalog was Nita and Anita's now-defunct Multiple Personality and Dissociation Book List, which after a decade in existence listed 161 books with keywords and reviews. However significant, it had major flaws: it was limited to books from a medical standpoint, used only vague keywords like "fiction" and "psychiatry", gave no description of what the books were actually about, and kept the reviews (the only place to find content descriptions) siloed off and organized by reviewer name, rather than book title. Something more comprehensive and searchable was needed.

The Girl Who Got Hit by Lightning
Summary: While helping her friend watch a birthday movie, M.D. Rawlins gets hit by lightning, advised by her imaginary friend, and her reality starts to unravel.
Series: Infinity Smashed

Notes: Winner of the vote and supported by my fans on LiberaPay and Patreon! This starts M.D.’s arc of Infinity Smashed; you don’t need to have read anything else of the series to follow along.


The night of Vandorsky’s birthday, I arrived at at midnight sharp. The little purple study light was on in her window, a signal that her parents (who thought me a “bad influence”) were in bed and it was safe to approach. Good thing too; the weather had taken a sharp turn for the ugly.

Arizona isn’t know for its rainfall, and Vago (including the “nicer” suburb Vandorsky lived in) was no exception. But once a year or so, the weather decided to make up for lost time and dump a hellraiser on our heads. By the time I’d climbed the fence to Vandorsky’s window, it was roaring outside and I was soaked through.

She hauled her window open, whispered, “it’s an omen!” and pulled me inside. (She didn’t need to whisper. In that storm, I could’ve slaughtered a pig on her lawn without anyone noticing.)

The movie is Bela Lugosi Meets the Brooklyn Gorilla, in case you were wondering. )

Genderful

This was the comics winner for this month's poll! Before I share it, let me tell you how it got made.

Recently, my local senator had a Town Hall meeting, and I was determined to go. I ran the gauntlet of Trumper protesters ranting about trans athletes (I recognized them from the library bomb threat back in October and waved to them), suffered through two plus hours of technological difficulties and clustering around smartphones in an overflow room, and then had to deal with one of my fellow citizens ranting about how she didn't want trans people around her children, we were just going to kill ourselves anyway.

The feelings that meeting gave me, I could not express. So I went home and drew all the genderful people who came before and alongside me, and I wrote their words instead--their joy, their survival, their power. And I converted that rage into fierce joy and shoved the local free libraries with them, and sent them to Florida, and disappeared into the night.

Tandy, Tandy, Burning Bright
Series: Xanth fanfiction
Summary: When life sends you nightmares, you ride them. When life sends you Smash Ogre, you ride HIM. Tandy deals with her sense of species identity, harnesses her nightmares, faces her demons, loses and regains her soul, and gets a character arc.
Word Count: 21,000
Notes: We have so many feelings and thoughts about Xanth in general and Tandy in particular that we're just going to put them in the comments below. Content warnings for reference to magically-compelled love, an incest metaphor that's never acted on, a magically-compelled suicide attempt (quickly thwarted, everyone's fine), fantasy racism (MAJOR theme), consensual kink (soul play, magical impact play), and sex. Also Tandy becomes median for this fic!

A busty centaur with a very prominent nose says in the background, I disapprove of all of this, just so you know.

You’re the most constant creature imaginable, and I love you. )

While at Boskone, I bought two very useful photo books from Laurie Toby Edison: Women En Large: Images of Fat Nudes, and Familiar Men: A Book Of Nudes. I have been wanting fat reference for ages, and so my Patreon postcard folks have been getting round ladies in their mailboxes the past month or so (and they will surely be getting more). Because I am proud of the work, I've chosen to scan and upload it here!

Crisis Planning: The Hit-By-A-Bus Plan
Series: Essay (crisis planning)
Summary: A crisis plan for when you are, say, hit by a bus, put in a coma, and have no family or spouse to handle your business while you're incapacitated.
Word Count: 2500
Notes: Winner of this month’s fan poll. You should definitely read How To Make A Pocket Crisis Guide first! The blank worksheets are here.


The hit-by-a-bus plan is for when you are suddenly unable to perform your usual duties or communicate the need to get them done to others—such as when you are suddenly committed to a mental hospital, kidnapped, or hit by a bus and put in a coma. The plan is especially for people without spouse or families. Getting hit by a bus may be unavoidable, but less so is getting fired (or a pet dying) because you aren’t there and nobody knows what happened or what to do. It has two components: prep work for yourself (for psychological crisis), and stuff for helpers to do on your behalf afterward (general purpose).

Due to multiple requests, we have completely unlocked the Disabled Cyborgs stories. These range from T4T sensate sex toy price wars to cute borg animals who find individuality after being a hive-mind, written from 2012-2017, and I wouldn't mind writing any of them again.

We hope you enjoy!

This is a post on how to make a zine when you are working on paper, as compared to digital. It goes into how to lay out your pages for easy printing, how to scan and do post-production, and how to keep it easy on yourself, especially for a first go. You will need:
  • paper
  • stuff to make black marks on said paper (pens, markers, coal, cut-out newspaper text or magazine pics...)
  • a scanner (arguably you could use a public library or something, but it's a paaaaain)
  • a computer with an image-editing program (for this post, we use GIMP, which is free and open-source)
  • (optional) scissors
  • (optional) printer + ink/toner
  • (optional) long-arm stapler + staples
  • (optional) bone folder

lb_lee: a purple horned female symbol interlocked with a female symbol mixed with a question mark (xenogals)
Mori: There's a thing that some of us can do, with headmates we're on very close terms with, a sorta New Agey body scan where we can close our eyes and sorta see what's going on beneath each other's skins. Rogan can do it with Mac, Biff, Bob, and Grey--I expect he's better at it since he's blind in the first place and used to using other means of sensing. Rawlin's also good at it; she just closes her haws and sees things as glowing headspace threads.

I can do it with her. And where her chest scar is, I can feel abyssal water pumping away, taking over the functions her heart had.

It feels like good symmetry; she sacrificed her heart to revive and power the headspace, and now the abyssal water that makes UP headspace seems to power her. I would way rather her have the waters pumping away in her than the family god.

Anyway my girlfriend is cute and you should tell her she's cute.Photographic evidence! )

Title: Strapping

Summary: Bob and Grey's relationship was supposed to be casual and short-term, but now everything falls apart... and gets rebuilt. NSFW.
Word Count: 3068
Notes: Uploaded in honor of Infinity Smashed's 25th anniversary! Also someone discussed the events of this story as "history" and I felt old. As a side note, I'm down to the last ten copies of the paperback of Found Wanting, and I don't plan to reprint it. If you want it, now's the time! (I will also likely be weeding the ebook as well. Sorry Infinity Smashed; you are not a hot seller.)

They’re down to Bob’s MISC boxes, never unpacked, when Grey finds a neon pink and purple dildo shaped like something from a tropical aquarium.

Oh god it is a hundred pages. What have I done. What is time. What is space.

Here you go you weird people, as y'all voted, LB's Many-Selved Sourcedump 2.0. Now with a table of contents and organized by both creator name AND (roughly chronologically). 3.0 I can also organize it by topic but NOT TODAYYYYYYY I am going to bed

EDIT: version 2.1 is up. The very first link in it was dead. -_- Please replace your file. Also added a source I'd forgotten and added a "Wayback Machine URL protocol" bit to help compensate for other linkrot that surely exists.
