#LGBTQWriteAThon Okay but why is it always Garrot?

He is an enigma to all...

@milosometimes.bsky.social Oct 11, 2026, 1:58 PM

I know it's 'line' share and not 'big snippet' share, but I wanted to share a little more meat than just some dialogue.

#LGBTQWriteAThon #queerwriters

A snippet of In Your Afterglow.
"Fine. We do some more searching. You can head to the library, and I'll… go to the graveyard or something. People keep mentioning mysterious deaths, so might as well find out if that's true. And," You shoot them a well-meaning glare, "I'm not sulking."

They chuckle, and put some extra force into their kick. The rock flies down the sidewalk, further than before. Bouncing off a bump, the trajectory redirects into the road. As the rock clatters against the pavement, the siren of a police car whoops once.

No 'mysterious' but Aidan has no idea why he's being taken here so to him it's a mystery

"You brought me to a rave? Is this some kind of sick joke, Mikheil?"

Mikheil chuckled as he fluffed the lapel of his long trenchcoat, the fabric swaying in the humid breeze. "Be patient, for there is a purpose to being here. "

"If the purpose is an acid induced nightmare, then we've come to the right place." Just as that exited my lips, a girl with sleeves full of beads sauntered up and ran her black fingernails over my chest. I snarled at her and she laughed, knocking her head back to allow her hair to spill from her furry cat ear headband.

#LGBTQWriteAThon

Had to pick a “mysterious” from my actual MYSTERY!😂😅

Talia gives the reader a quick tutorial on US antiquities laws…

… which wont be relevant outside this early chapter… obviously...🤷‍♀️

marveling at its beauty, though not entirely sure what she was looking for.
“I’d like to show it to a friend of mine. Would you permit me to take this over—”
Dr. Lloyd was already shaking her head. “Oh, I’m sorry, it can’t leave the premises right now, but your friend can come down and see it while we still have it.”
It had been worth a shot. The Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 was meant to discourage looting of historic and prehistoric sites, graves, and other archaeological treasures. Talia was all too familiar with ARPA, and that it meant any artifacts or remains collected from protected sites were considered government property. Tampering with or stealing these objects was a federal offense.
Being found on park premises meant the knife was, for the time being, government property, just like any other artifact. In her role as a representative of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Dr. Lloyd had become the mysterious object’s temporary custodian. That was, at least, until it was officially established that it wasn’t an artifact relevant to the location in which it was found, which seemed likely to both of them.
“Of course.”

Zilla stared at the radiograph on her display, watching the cloud in the lungs spread deeper and deeper with each breath the girl took. "Why is she in an open ward?" Zilla asked, fighting to keep her tone even.

"Why wouldn't she be? Shadrach healed her."

I have exactly one hit for myster* in 1661, so for #LGBTQWriteAThon I'll share this paragraph from chapter 1, Alexander's journey from town to country.

When again the curtain fell, he imagined what he could not see: the grey-green of flat Middlesex starting to rise slowly through pasture and yellow heath, great sleeping hornbeams turning to fingers of pale birch. At which mile the landscape ruled by Father Thames would give way to the hill and wood where he had been bred, he could only guess; he’d last made this journey age three, when he only barely had the facility of memory. How he would be received back into that land was just as much a mystery. His mother believed that all would be well—their neighbours had changed, the villagers scattered, their county turned upside-down the same as all the rest during the late troubles—if they’d made it this far without being challenged, the rest’d be plain-sailing. But if he thought too much of how he’d been dressed when he left Buckinghamshire twelve years ago, Alexander—who never suffered coach-sickness—nevertheless began to feel a little queasy.

#LGBTQWriteAThon-
'So they'd have magical contraband coming out their ears; they'd have to call the wizards. "But what happened in there?"'

A fire, a vampire attack, illegal magic, a heap of bodies. The first question of the book a lot of people are trying to solve.

#LGBTQWriteAThon D11: Lines! I don't have the prompt, and it is a mystery, so vibes might be spoilers.

So, last line I wrote:

"In that case," Grace said, "I'll get the car ready. I think we're going to take a little trip."

Mysteriously, the word "mysterious" isn't in Paranormal Activity Club, but instead in Dylan & Zephyr's Guide to Love & Magic:

Long before we were boyfriends who play tonsil hockey like it’s a competitive sport, Zephyr was the mysterious bad boy and I was the class clown.

#LGBTQWriteAThon 11. “Mysterious”

Perilous, but there was no other choice. To find the mysterious entity calling to her, Ashrah must brave the Silk Colony and its ravenous queen.

Pretty okay. I'm in the trenches of revising/editing some challenging scenes which is...well, challenging.

It's also getting to the dark time here which 🫤

But I also got out for a hike on an absolutely perfect day with a friend and our dogs so one of my month goals ✅

I didn't write as much as I wanted to, but I DID do a finished piece of art (which will get revealed later in the month) and I made the BYMMS book trailer! So overall a success, I'd say.

@bethanylaurel.bsky.social Oct 11, 2026, 2:15 AM

I finished the reread I needed to do, so I’m calling that a win.

In other news, the new guy at work is very much getting on my last nerve.

I had a good week overall. I finished drafting Hunted and Called on Monday and later in the week pulled out my old notes with Elisabeti to start going over and prepping to start writing soon.

@karamoonauthor.com Oct 11, 2026, 1:24 AM

#LGBTQWriteAThon check in day:
🚀 massive effort this week on full retype revision, more than 50K 😵‍💫 still seven chapters to go and then I can get back to my pirate gals 💜

#LGBTQWriteAThon 10: I've missed a couple of days but will pick up here

I think its been a decent week! In total I think I've written 1000 words for Fire on the Horizon & made some progress with overarching narrative ideas. I also managed to write a little for my zine *AND* maybeee a short story 👀

@eliwoodsgheist.bsky.social Oct 10, 2026, 11:06 PM

Happy #LGBTQWriteAThon 10!

I had an unexpected short story writing excursion that I'm not sure what to do with, but I'm otherwise still prepping for a November write-a-thon. Otherwise, a pretty busy week with real life stuff!
