#ScribesAndMakers 5/7. When did you think of the idea for your current project? Do you remember how it came about? So we (my wife and I) are booked to trade at a steampunk event on June 6th/7th. My wife said, late March this year, "the theme for the event is pirates and mermaids, we could write books". So I said "That's a good idea." The file was opened March 25th and the writing completed at 30K words on May 4th. And I'm now working on the clean-ups. Coming soon: "The Damsel and the Mermaid" The mermaid image is available as a wallpaper/screensaver for desktop, iPhone and Android https://ko-fi.com/adaddinsane/shop #writing #writingCommunity #sapphic #romantasy #3dRender #noAI #madeWithDaz #3dArt #CGI #art #fantasyRomance #wlw #humanMade #mermay

Added a smidge under 4000 words to the WIP today and we're into the end game. Should finish "The Damsel and the Mermaid" tomorrow. Exciting. Kind of Disney Sirens meets Splash! but sapphic. #amWriting #sapphic #romantasy #mermay #mermaid #wlw

In today's writing: --- They used a boathook under her arm to draw her closer then two men grabbed her to pull her aboard. They managed to get her halfway. “She’s a heavy thing, slippery too,” said one. “On three. One… two… heave!” Moments later the dead dark-skinned woman was dragged aboard, along with her fins and fish tail. None of them spoke for a very long time. --- ~ "The Damsel and the Mermaid" #amWriting #sapphic #romantasy #wip #writing #mermay #mermaid

#LesFicFri "MISTAKE" “Stop treating me like a child.” “Stop behaving like one.” Polly backed off the bed and on to the floor. “Look, you made a mistake. Everybody does. You owned up to it, you said you apologised to Ursula.” “I did.” “So, let it go.” Veronica pushed herself up in one smooth motion and landed in front of Polly. “That’s easy to say, Polly,” she said. “It’ll haunt me for the rest of my life.” “Well, don’t dwell on it.” Polly lifted Veronica’s hem and tutted. “Not straight. Let’s get you sorted.” From THE TASTE OF VERONICA by Stephanie Bull (a pen-name of Steve Turnbull), from Book 2 of VERONICA'S LIFE #sapphic #lesFic #writingCommunity #wlw #writing #reading #lesbianVisibilityWeek

#eroticMusings Week 48 (April 26-May 2) Setting PoV (any character): What’s something you think is special about the place you’re in?

Maylees is absolutely delighted to discover that mermaids do, in fact, exist after she rescues one (called Khu) from drowning.

A drowning mermaid? It’s complicated, and ultimately sapphic.

Although it’s on order I don’t yet have a machine capable of rendering Maylees, Khu and the ocean in the same image but here’s a textual taster. (Oh, Khu cannot pronounce Maylees name, it comes out as “Nayee”.)

The soft warmth of Nayee pressed against Khu’s body and she never wanted it to end. Only the slightest boost from her tail kept them both floating, as the ocean rose and fell around them.

Might I offer you some Sword-Lesbians for this visible week? #LesbianVisibilityWeek Fun fact, this is actually how the #KnightsAU, Knights of Mélusine, of my OCs started. By now its the most fleshed out story they have (yes there's multiple). I made a mini comic introducing the story too. 👀 [Jan 2025] #Lesbian #MastoArt #FediArt #Illustration #Sapphic #Yuri #OC #OriginalArt #OriginalCharacter #CreativeToots #Fantasy #Knights #Painting #Art #Artist #SwordLesbian

“You are not ugly, miss.” “Don’t,” said Veronica harshly, then was instantly remorseful at the pain that crossed her maid’s face. “Don’t call me ‘miss’ when we are alone, when we are being like lovers.” “What should I call you then?” “Call me by my name.” Polly hesitated as if the years of conditioning prevented her from uttering her mistress’s name. “Veronica?” “No, that feels wrong, it’s too formal. It sounds like my mother or father. I need a nickname. I’ve never had one. Choose one for me.” Polly pulled a face. “Von? Voni? Roni?” Veronica laughed. “It makes me sound like a Prussian or just a man.” Though that might be interesting. “Nika?” “Yes! I will be Nika for you.” From THE SHAPE OF VERONICA by Stephanie Bull (a pen-name of Steve Turnbull), from Book 1 of VERONICA'S LIFE #SapphicRomance #sapphic #romantasy #lesFic #writingCommunity #wlw #writing #reading

#LesFicFri "WONDER" “Don’t you two ever scare me like that again!” She took another aching breath. “I thought something had got you. I thought you were drowning!” Another breath. “And how in the Mother’s name, are you both able to stay underwater!” The next thing she knew Eftena’s arms were round her, holding her tight. She returned the hug and then Yelantera was there too, though Miralees wondered whether the girl had even the slightest understanding of why she had been shouted at, or why they were now hugging. “And Stupid was worried about you,” she finished without much conviction. On cue, the gryphon’s beak nudged them. They lost their balance and fell to the ground in a damp heap.

#LesFicFri "EXCUSE" It was only two days to the wedding. Polly had been up early for a change, without even a pause for a cuddle and fumble. Just a kiss and she was away. Once dressed, she set about checking through all the clothes she was planning to take, and seeing what needed a needle taking to it. The pile was not insignificant. Leaving Veronica with nothing to do. She lay in bed not wanting to interrupt Polly, but the prospect of dressing herself again did not appeal. Even if she did need more practice. Instead, she dozed for another hour and wished she had a book to read. Later, Polly stopped sewing, helped Veronica dress, and they went down to breakfast. After which Polly excused herself and went back to the bedroom to carry on with the sewing.

#LesFicFri "DELICATE" Polly shrugged her shoulders and the dress fell from her shoulders but stopped halfway down her back since Polly’s arms were still in the sleeves. But Veronica took in her delicately curved shoulders, the bones beneath the skin stood out. And there was her spine. Veronica felt strange. The only spine she was truly familiar with was her own, and it bulged obscenely at the height of her shoulder blades. It was her curse. But now she looked upon a perfect spine. Each vertebra a low hill running straight and elegant from neck down—though the chemise hid it from sight. Polly was perfectly formed. As God intended womankind to be.

#LesFicFri "RUN" “Or what?” “I’ll dismiss you for fornicating with other members of staff, and without references,” said Veronica. “You know how word travels.” Mrs Jenkins cleared her throat. “My apologies, Miss Clifford-Hughes.” “Thank you,” she said. “Everyone knows what goes on between you and him. Even me. That’s how I knew where to find you.” “I see.” “Honestly, Mrs Jenkins, I don’t really care, although you could be a bit more discreet. If you want that man to fuck you—” the housekeeper flinched at the word but said nothing “—every other day, and leave you without resolution each time, it has no bearing on me or my life, as long as the running of the household is not disturbed.” “I would never let it affect my work.” From THE TASTE OF VERONICA by Stephanie Bull (a pen-name of Steve Turnbull), from Book 2 of VERONICA'S LIFE #SapphicRomance #sapphic #romantasy #lesFic #writingCommunity #lesbian #writing #reading
