It's #TransDayOfVisibility which means you can all see me! Hi! I don't know what I am, but I'm not really a girl most of the time.
But I am an author! And here is a thread of my stories featuring trans and non-binary characters!
Velocirapture features lesbian velociraptors, one of whom is trans, who save the world
I am autistic. Technically self diagnosed, which is totally valid. I went through an assessment and they I didn't have enough records from my childhood to officially make a diagnosis.
I think most of my main characters are autistic. At least, you would have a hard time finding one that is absolutely not autistic. It's just the way I think, and that translates to my characters.
But this list will be canonically autistic stories.
OK so I have two ideas for this Christmas horror story.
The basic idea is that the main character is too busy for Christmas and love but she comes back to her hometown for Christmas and needs to save the Christmas pageant because all the kids are getting eaten
She discovers that her tendency to overwork is based on growing up believing in the Yule cat, a lorge boy who eats children who are lazy.
And I want it to be like a romance movie. Like all of the beats of a romance, but horror instead
Here is where I have options
OPTION ONE.
The Yule cat is the "Love interest". They have a meet cute but she doesn't realize he's the one (… eating all the children). She doesn't even recognize him from high school (… when she believed in him and no one else did)
Oh shit I have idea for this Hallmark channel Christmas movies horror story thing.
OK so. The main character is a workaholic who doesn't have time for love or Christmas, but she goes home anyway and that's where she meets the Yule cat.
The Yule cat is a kitty from Iceland. And he is an absolute unit.
Like. He protec, he attac, he eat children as snac. Except without the protecting part
His whole deal is making people not be lazy. He checks in on you once a year, and if you haven't made a new article of clothing for yourself? He eats you
