CW sex "Naked was how she felt the most deeply in her femme power. Naked and insistently in her desire. Look at me, she demanded with every line of her body, gratified by the way Liliana’s eyes devoured her." #ShockingViolet #1linewed #page55

CW trauma Right now he was glad to be in his cave, alone, where he didn’t have to hide the fact that trauma was about to hit like a freight train and his whole body knew it. #ShockingViolet #1linewed

There's a v significant cat in my WIP #ShockingViolet, who is basically this cat on the page. Sweet Pea is a grumpy old man who is v set in his ways. Nora's kitty is named The Divine Ms M in #TheirTroublesomeCrush but she's not as central. She makes an impression though.

When you are writing a character who's loved Mariah Carey for his whole life, of course he'd listen to her in order to help him get unstuck on a hard day. Turns out this song works esp well for that. (Fantasy remix w/ODB) #ShockingViolet #IHeartRickie youtu.be/-tCTm5M3Cp8

Wendy was wrapped around Zak, like usual. Whenever they slept in the same bed, they’d start back to back, but by morning she’d be plastered against him. It was a pretty good way to wake up. He was glad she felt safe enough to hold him in sleep. #ShockingViolet #1linewed

Today's Chanukah song is a fave of Rebecca's, but Jordan likes it too. Rebecca & Ruth are a butch/femme D/s couple who appear both in #EightKinkyNights, my f/f Chanukah romance, & #ShockingViolet, a WIP. Ner Li, sung by Abigail Lapell and Laura Spink. youtu.be/P-vuxLH82Ro

"You show me how much you love me every single fucking day, Zak. What do you think you put into that breakfast you made, with all my favorite things, exactly how I like them?" “Love, of course. Cooking and baking are one of the main ways I show it.” #1lineWed #ShockingViolet

Rocking helped, it always did. Her eyes caught the bright red bowl on the table, sank into the rich darkness of the color, let herself float on it as she rocked. #ShockingViolet #1linewed

My story is an excerpt from #ShockingViolet. It's about everyday life as a disabled person during the holidays. It shows a chosen family celebration & centers kinky queer folks but doesn't depict kink. CWs for my story: xanwest.wordpress.com/publications/c… Add on GR: goodreads.com/book/show/4915…

I'm also working on a polyam rom about intersecting polycules that has 5 MCs, #ShockingViolet, but it's not finished yet. You can find excerpts on my site, though. :)

Thrilled to have my piece "A Solstice Date on Chanukah" included in this collection! It's an excerpt from #ShockingViolet, & is mostly about everyday disabled life during the winter holiday season.

#ShockingViolet happened when I said what if I make a polyam romance centering queer, trans & disabled trauma survivors where polyam looks like the polyam I know, sprawling connected polycules & chosen families, & in a setting I know-trans inclusion activism in kink community.

#LGBTQWriMo day 1 Hi I'm Corey, I write as Xan West & use they/them pronouns! For this NaNo, I'm trying to do 2 main things: 1. finalize edits on my f/f Chanukah romance #EightKinkyNights, out 12/16 2. finish drafting #ShockingViolet, my polyam queer kinky romance novel

CW trauma, internalized ableism Jax felt like a total mess. He knew feeling like this & loathing himself for it was a sign he was really badly triggered, which was kind of the point anyway. It was this huge long circular monster that ate its own tail. #ShockingViolet #1linewed

(There is also a very sweet dog in #ShockingViolet, Rickie's dog Gilberto, but we don't talk about dogs on National Cat Day ofc.)

In my own work, there's a cat in #TheirTroublesomeCrush, Nora's cat The Divine Ms. M. My beloved Sweet Pea will be immortalized in my WIP #ShockingViolet, along with a cameo of a very pampered kitty named Melisande. (Read an excerpt w/Melisande here: sugarbutch.net/2019/09/a-good…)

CW kink If you want to give your clicks to the site that DID pay me for the story, it's titled "A Good Beating" & was pubbed on Sugarbutch by @MrSexsmith! It's an excerpt from #ShockingViolet & it depicts a cathartic SM scene betw a trans man & cis man. sugarbutch.net/2019/09/a-good…

CW kink My cis m/trans m age gap story "A Good Beating" has been pubbed on Sugarbutch.net! It's an excerpt from #ShockingViolet starring Zak & it depicts a cathartic SM scene between long term play partners. Content warnings in thread below. sugarbutch.net/2019/09/a-good…

This is likely of particular interest to folks who have been oh so patiently waiting for me to finish writing #ShockingViolet. A new excerpt, starring Zak!

A snippet from my #DecemberDoOver sprint. #ShockingViolet CW This is from a D/s negotiation conversation, focused on service.

Favorite line in #ShockingViolet? Ack, that's difficult. I can do fave recently written line. CW D/s “Mine,” Jax whispered. Zak stole that word and hid it in his pocket. #LGBTWIP

Tagged by @penlex to go to the 7nth line on the 7th page of my WIP & post 7 sentences from there. So here are 7 sentences from the first draft of #ShockingViolet's new prologue! #NaNoWriMo18 (I'm not going to tag folks. If you want to participate consider yourself tagged.)

CW kink A year ago, I was writing a bootplay scene in #ShockingViolet, & had to decide which boots the top would wear. I went on the Mr S website & chose these Red Stitch Wesco Jobmasters. I was mesmerized by these boots. So I wrote that into the scene. mr-s-leather.com/leather/leathe…

#ShockingViolet is set in 2008 NYC, & I had fun creating aspects of queer community that fit 2008 NYC. Queer leather grp & trans inclusion activist grp within it, Femme Brunch, queer Al Anon mtg, Blue Christmas event at the LGBT center, queer Chanukah party at shul... #LGBTWIP

Honestly my biggest dream for #ShockingViolet is that I finish it. 1st novel, started in 2014. Beyond that, I'd love for it to resonate with the communities I'm writing about & writing for. & I'd love for it to help make room for open polyam in the romance genre. #LGBTWIP

There's a v significant cat in my WIP #ShockingViolet, who is basically this cat on the page. Sweet Pea is a grumpy old man who is v set in his ways. Nora's kitty is named The Divine Ms M in #TheirTroublesomeCrush but she's not as central. She makes an impression though.

Snippet from my #DecemberDoOver sprint today. For context, Zak & Rickie are negotiating D/s. #ShockingViolet CW reference to family estrangement, oblique reference to familial trans antagonism, reference to BDSM (1/3)

Day 7 #LGBTRelease What am I most excited to do in 2020? If all goes well, I will have a finished draft of #ShockingViolet to edit! & I get to start seriously drafting my kinky queer contemp Beauty & the Beast retelling, for which I already have a gorgeous cover to inspire me!

Pride flags for MCs in #ShockingViolet -queer -demiro ace spec -trans lesbian pride -leather -trans -leather boy -Jewish queer -genderqueer I looked for femme & butch pride flags but ones I found were lesbian & that didn't fit the chars. #LGBTWIP

Queerest lines in #ShockingViolet? Here are a few. “We spent half that meeting taking care of a cis woman’s feelings about getting shit for standing up for trans people.” #LGBTWIP

#ShockingViolet is kind of a complex mix of something that feels a bit escapist with things that feel very grounded in reality, at least to me. For me, while writing, its a balance of both. (I do get to go back to NYC & eat the delicious food I miss, that's def escape.) #LGBTWIP

#QWriters Day 2! CW kink “Ma’am?” “Mmmm?” “I think you’re very brave, contemplating this. It makes me proud to be your girl.” #ShockingViolet

#QWriters Day 25: My most active WIPs (besides #EightKinkyNights) -Queer kinky Beauty & the Beast retelling -Light polyam meet-cute f/f/genderqueer romance. 1st chapter: xanwest.wordpress.com/2017/07/02/mee… -Polyam kinky queer romance novel, #ShockingViolet, excerpts: xanwest.wordpress.com/shocking-viole…

#ShockingViolet takes place inside queer & trans communities & has the things that go w/that, from support (informal & structured groups) to chosen family to gender border wars. One of the main subplots is abt trans inclusion activism in a queer leather community org. #LGBTWIP

#ShockingViolet is a polyam BDSM romance centering open polyam. There are multiple romance arcs & all chars begin the story w/some existing rships, some of which change shape by the end of the book. #LGBTWIP

Catching up with #LGBTWIP! I started #ShockingViolet for NaNo2014, after sketching out the idea on a whim in a notebook a couple weeks prior. Early notes say things like "stone top-counter pathologizing narratives" & "D/s romance-clearly negotiated dynamic". It was my 1st NaNo.
