Queer Be Dragons discussion

hello funky folks! welcome to my cringy queer book club thing that i started on a whim and will probably regret within 24 hours. slightly off topic note: this club is, atm, for contemporary books, but i might add other genres later depending on the interest. usually when i try to do these they die within less than a week, so.

please introduce yourself with the template or a similar one to mine!

i’m sirius, they/them, a vibing non-binary and obsessor over queer anything. some of my favourite authors are marissa meyer, anna-marie mclemore, nghi vo, akemi dawn bowman, and v.e. schwab. i’m an aspiring writer and professional procrastinator who is very pleased to make your acquaintance! (oh, also i use 🗡 a lot. i’m not actually threatening you, i promise, i’m just an avid 🗡 sword gay 🗡)

Hey everyone! I'm Becky (it's a pen name and a very elaborate in-joke with my family), pronouns she/they (and maybe he? I've used it before and I don't mind it). I am OBSESSED with queer literature with chivalric themes. MXTX's novels are my life. I enjoy writing a ton, especially fairy tale retellings! Happy to meet you all!

Hello all, I'm Sofia (she/her). I'm currently trying to find more f/f fantasy, so that's why I'm here - I know this is for contemporary now, but I hope we can branch out in the future :) My favorite authors are V.E. Schwab, R.F. Kuang, Naomi Novik, and Sarah J. Maas. I'm an aspiring author and a musician who also loves to bake. Thanks for the invite!

Hello everyone, I’m Nox, I’m nonbinary and I use they/them pronouns (or they/he I’m not yet certain). I write poetry sometimes, and am a student trying to figure out what to do with their life. I love all types of queer literature and poetry, but I have a special soft spot for queer fantasy. I have a hard time choosing a favorite author, but some of my favorite books I’ve read recently are Cinderella is Dead, The Cemetery Boys, and the Black Flamingo.

Hi! I'm zaiyah, an absolute fool who thrives with lots of sugar, books and hugs. My pronouns are they/she (i'm girlflux), I like queer middle grade books especially, but really just anything. I'd love to find more a-spec books (I actually am making progress on that, getting out of a half slump). I don't really have any favourite authors or books right now??? I really liked radio silence and dora and the lost city of gold was fantastic. I recommend it to everyone who enjoys having their face split in two from laughter :D

Hi, I’m Mya! (they/she, gender confused) and disaster sapphic. I’m obsessed with all things queer. I love fantasy, contemporary, mystery, sci fi, and poetry. I’m also a really big fan of true crime which you can tell from my YouTube history, which is primarily Buzzfeed Unsolved. I’m always up for screaming about books, buying books, and robbing banks. Though don’t tell the feds about that last one 👀

hey, i’m ella! my pronouns are she/her and i’m bi. my favourite genre is fantasy and anything mythology inspired, but i’m down to read any genre, especially if it’s queer! some of my favourites authors are r f kuang, madeline miller and silvia moreno-garcia :)

Hi! I'm Billy (they/xe), trans and queer. I'm a student and I use books as an unhealthy form of escaping the realities of writing endless amounts of essays and my dissertation. I'm an aspiring researcher in transgender studies and fatherhood.
Right now I'm reading mostly diverse classics and queer non-fiction because I fell out of love with contemporary fiction last year - but some good books have come out and are due to come out so I'm excited!

Hi I am Juhina, (she/her) my favorite author is everybody (jk) I have so many but some are: Lauren Miller, Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Adib Khorram, so on and so on. I am WAITING, REALLY waiting for the new Aru Shah book. That's it :)

hi hi! I'm moony (she/her). I'm a lesbian and I just,,,love queer books. my favorite authors are Adam silvera, Marissa Meyer, and Alice Oseman! I also have anxiety, depression and schizophrenia, so I'm always looking for more mental health rep in books, especially if it's queer as well! I'm excited to be in this book club!

hello! i'm lili (she/they) and i'm bisexual! some of my favorite authors are michelle hodkin and sarah j. maas. i have an unhealthy obsession with kpop and fairytale retellings. i love anything to do with the fae or mermaid fantasy worlds (or any fantasy worlds in general). a guilty pleasure of mine is writing/reading fanfic. i'm excited to be here and meet you all! :)

Hey everyone!!! My name is Madeline (as I'm sure you read lmao). My fav genres are WW2 historical fiction, contemporary (lgbtqia+ is where it's at, there's more flavor), fantasy, manga, and mystery/thrillers. I am bi and I love kpop, indie, rock, and metal music (sometimes classical too). I love the vintage, goth, and dark academia styles. I love mushrooms, but not as foods lmao. I spend my time reading to escape this world and my life! My dreams are to travel the world in an orange volkswagen bus with my bsf. Uhhhhh yuhhhhhhh! (I also use the words POG and SWAG too much )

Hello! I’m Firefly. I’m female, using she/her pronouns, and I really don’t know the term for my sexuality, but I’m asexual with aesthetic and romantic attractions to mostly girls and sometimes enbies. I’m an aspiring author and possible screenwriter who has an almost unhealthy chocolate obsession. Also, mya, I don’t know you, but congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳

KAKSJSKD thank you Becky n Firefly 🥺🥺💕💕

hi everyone! i'm dot (she/they), and am your resident dumbass lesbian and local chaotic gremlin. some of my favorite books are radio silence by alice oseman, the rengades series by marissa meyer, and six of crows by leigh bardugo. i'm also a huge fan of queer cartoons and will literally never shut up about she-ra or catradora, you've been warned ;) i'm also an avid indie music listener, and love artists such as lorde, dodie, and phoebe bridgers! #1 found family fan 😌

Hi, my name is Joy and I'm omnisexual. I don't have a favorite book I kinda just have one depending on the mindset lol. I easily get bored so I make playlists and abandoned them. I listen to pop sad music a d ya I guess that all. I don't listen to gurl in red I haven't really found a good song of hers I really like but if you have one, you can message me :)

hi, im brooklynn (she/they (i think)(gender is confusing)), and I read a lot of ya, but usually ya romance. my favorite authors are Adam Silvera, David Leviathan, and a bunch more that I really don't feel like writing right now. I like to listen to music (my spotify is in my bio if anyone cares), I like to act (currently writing this instead of practicing for a production of clue), and I like to watch a lot of shows. I do listen to girl in red. I'm a gemini and I'm an INFP-T if that tells you anything about me lol

Hello! I'm Xavier, I love nicknames, and I go by neo-pronouns! I'm still trying to find out my exact sexuality and gender but for right now I'll go by Gender-queer and Bi-curious. I'm a Taurus, Slytherpuff, and ENFP if that gives you any idea of who I am, and I LOVE to read!! I usually read fantasy, sci-fi, romance, realistic fiction, etc and I also love to RP! I'm currently trying out some names IRL which is a bit confusing, and MARINA and The Diamonds is my favorite!

oh god you people are so cool i just can't-
hello there, I'm kylee (or ky), she/her, a hopeless romantic for fictional characters, but for my own love life... not so much. my favorite authors are Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristof, Rainbow Rowell, Jandy Nelson, Tui T. Sutherland, Wendy Mass, and a lot more haha. (for some reason I type "haha" and think it's cool, it's weird.)

I like writing stories that never make it out of my brain, reading a lot of webtoons, and listening to cool music (my favorite artists are AJR, mxmtoon, COIN, JORDY, and so much more. I listen to a lot of artists wow) I also enjoy roleplaying on Goodreads and looking at fanarts from various fandoms.

Thanks, Firefly for inviting me and I really hope I'll be able to participate in the reading group stuff.

okay hello hello

i’m ansel/kaz, i use he/they pronouns, and i’m simply a snowbaz stan who wants to be as cool as kaz brekker and simon snow combined. my favourite authors are rainbow rowell, leigh bardugo, marissa meyer, and holly black.
i’m a mediocre writer and artist and i like to vibe out to random shit.
random shit including:
- harry styles
- lady gaga
- mother mother
- kendrick lamar
- tyler, the creator
- and michael buble for some reason.
but yeah, that’s me! i’m kinda actually excited for a group for once!

yes, yes he is.

hi! this is long overdue, but i’m susan (she/her)! i'm still questioning but i currently feel comfy with bi-ace. i read webtoons way more than actual books but i'm trying to change that lol, one of my fave groups is loona, and i like to write sometimes if inspiration hits (usually at like midnight for some reason)

Hey peeps, I’m Aliyah she/her at the moment. I’m just an Australian pansexual teenager who is also a marvel fan trying to figure out whether I want to become an author or an engineer (very counterposing careers, I know).
I read a lot of YA. My fav books are A curse so dark and lonely, Ash princess, crooked kingdom and red white and royal blue.
I joined this group to make some new friends and get queer book recs! From your introductions, you all seem freakin cool.
Oh yeah and I’m a Megan the stallion fan, purrr. 😌💫

Hello, hello! My name is Morgan, but feel free to call me Mo, or Momo, and I currently use they/them and he/him pronouns! :)
I am forever questioning my sexuality/romantic attraction.
I of course enjoy reading and I also occasionally write. I also enjoy drawing. I am currently very into Homestuck, and it consumes basically all my thoughts.
My current favorite books/book series are, I wish you all the best, Felix ever after, our dreams at dusk, toilet bound hanako-kun, radio silence and many others!
I hope this introduction was good, and I'm excited to make some new book friends! :D

Hello, Mo!!(hehe rhymes) It looks like we have a lot in common book wise and constantly questioning our sexuality’s/genders lmao. I don’t really like HP either and I too am a bit bored of straight couples (no hate at straights I’m just sick of it being like all I see unless I purposely look for smth other than it) and I like drawing and occasionally writing. oh! And I’ve read the whole Selection series and hated so much lmao anyway welcome to the group!!

Hi!!! It's very fun that we have a lot in common!! :D
Personally, I do not like to think back on my old reviews of the selection series 0-0 I personally enjoyed it cause I am very much a sucker for reality tv

Also, thank u for welcoming me to the group!! :D
