We’re in an Anthology!!!

[Image ID: An announcement with art on the side, reading “Rook Laz, the Parliament System Will Be In: Nothing Without Us Too, Releasing September 15, 2022. An anthology of Spoonie writing by and for Spoonies, featuring an introspective short story on therapy, being trans, and having DID by our system!” A scan of the cover is present interspersing the text.

The artwork on the side is of the Parliament System. In the bottom corner is an illustration of a headphone wearing pale person with green eyes and brown hair tucked under their headphones, looking towards the announcement. Behind them are some of the headmates of the system all looking at the same announcement, including: a white goat demon, a goggles-wearing person, a mirror-masked changeling, a gold-cloaked redhead, two similar-looking red-heads in white and red turtlenecks, and a horned humanoid with long ears. All of them have varied expressions of excitement. /ID end]

Hi hello yes I know we rarely use this blog but I just realized we never announced this here! What!

Nothing Without Us Too is coming out in FIVE DAYS, and we have a piece in the anthology about the experiences of being an undiagnosed queer dissociative mess in college!

Should we have made an official actual intro post before this? PROBABLY. Are we going to? NO CLUE. Regardless, we saw a new tag for plural writings and were reminded that yes, we do have a writeblr blog!

Wanna Know More?

Nothing Without Us Too, published by Renaissance Press, is an anthology collecting Spoonie writing!

Our piece is “The Pronoun Game” in which Arcady, a dissociative queer college student, navigates the difficulties of fluctuating pronouns and liking it/its pronouns and struggles with the fear of having its queerness discarded as a symptom of its undefined and mis/undiagnosed neurodiversity.

(Maybe not the happiest piece for us to promo but we write less bleak shit with systems too, I promise lmao. Like, we have a few novels in the works, let’s just say.)

All stories in the anthology are marked with content warnings (thank you very much to the lovely editors!), and the menagerie of stories on display have us very, very excited (not just because we have a piece in this anth either)!
