Transfeminine author & artist.


I just thonked about FFxivWrite2023 in a tumblr post.

The TLDR is I am planning to participate, I'll need to post entries somewhere public, and that somewhere will be cohost or tumblr or both. Maybe both if I have the spoons for it, as that would be a good A/B test to see which one's a more responsive platform for posting my writing to.

Or at least announcing it, anyway? A third possibility is an AO3 submission that's expanded on the fly, with links to chapter submissions submitted. Thing is that would be messy and I'm fine with messy in social media posts but I like my writing submissions polished. Which I'd do after the event.

How is Cohost about posting smut writing? Do you need an account to view 18+ content? I might wind up going the AO3 route just for how it handles the adult stuff - you tag it as such, then a not-logged-in person has to jump through a couple of hoops to see it, but (at this point, anyway) doesn't have to create an account or log into one to do so.

I'm blathering and should be saving this entry for finishing a smut fic I'm working on and hope to finish before the challenge.

TLDR I'm going to do some writing next month and at this point I'm planning to at least announce that here and/or on tumblr.

(Maybe tumblr/cohost for SFW prompt results and AO3 for the smutty smut smut?)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.

I've thought about doing that too but... I figure what I'm going to generate is going to be draft material and I'll probably eventually tighten it up into stories that I'll submit to AO3. But... doing it as an AO3 sub at least gives me convenient click-through cover for NSFW content. Which there will probably be a good bit of.

hi! just now finding this while browing the FFXIV Write tag, and I wanted to pop in and say that like... in general, Cohost seems to be pretty good about smut writing, both in terms of general community feel and accessibility. Like... my most popular post is my singular 18+ gpose lol, and I can log out and view it without having to log back in.
