Hi all, since it’s coming up to Christmas (and ONC starts in two months, aargh!) I thought I’d send a link for the @FreetheLGBT Community Profile, which has a very vibrant Discord server for LGBT+ readers, writers and allies to connect and share books, music, art and queer culture. Pop in to see if you like it! All queer readers, writers and allies are welcome <3
          	
          	https://discord.gg/U7R8EeMamC
          	
          	
          	The @FreetheLGBT Community Profile also runs the *Rainbow Bookclub*. This is a fun and relaxed book club with hundreds of books by LGBT+ writers and allies who are keen to read each other's queer-positive books. No assignments, no mandatory reads - you read what you want and collect points to increase the chances of your books getting read too! Not a writer? No problem! Just join in for the queer-positive reads!

Hey Pixel Mum! I just wanted to drop a heartfelt note of gratitude for all that you've done for my academic research survey on the representation of the Indian lgbtq+ community on Wattpad. 
          
          Your insights and your support have been an incredible motivating factor for me in this endeavor towards equality. Trust me, I wouldn't be where I am without your initial input and invaluable corrections in the beginning. 
          
          THANK YOU!

Hello! Got an aromantic and/or asexual spectrum major character in your book? Want to join a sweet contest celebrating ace-aro spec identities in fiction? Then this contest is for you!  The contest is hosted by the @TripleACommunity Profile, a group of readers and writers showcasing stories with aro-ace spectrum characters. I'm supporting TripleACommunity as a pre-selected judge, along with other senior @FreeTheLGBT Profile community members. Throw in your WIP and join the fun!

Hi everyone, I’ve been away from writing since April but I’m super excited that some of my books got awarded prizes in the recent Halloween contest from the big and queer-friendly Harvest Festival Awards hosted by the @AstaniaCommunity ! 
            
            My ONC entry for this year, “Parasite” got first prize in the science fiction category (many thanks to Astania’s judge @laurendoubleu ) and also “Something Wicked” got second prize in the action category (many thanks to Astania’s judge @DeejayDJ010 ). 
            
            There were tons of excellent books that got prizes in a range of categories, so do go and check them out for some Xmas reads, and have a look at Astania's community book if you're thinking of joining!

This is a cute Halloween contest from the large and well-established @AstaniaCommunity -- it is strongly encouraging queer entries and has dedicated judges (many of them queer) pre-selected from senior Astania Community members, so this contest will be conducted with good organisation, to a strict timeline, and with no concerns for LGBT+ writers' safety!

Hello! No updates lol but I just wanted to say that even though Pride Month is over for another year, your identity is with you 24/7 so celebrate your uniqueness like every month is Pride Month! The most wonderful thing that you can be is yourself! °•♡.•☆°○.
