What was it?</p><p>This is the first time I answered a prompt twice in the tags, but this one is too good not to share on its own: For History Exchange 2016 I requested a <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/HarrietTubman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarrietTubman</span></a> fic featuring her narcolepsy disorder, and lirin responded with this great short story! <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/collections/HistoryExchange2016/works/7443532" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archiveofourown.org/collection</span><span class="invisible">s/HistoryExchange2016/works/7443532</span></a> <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/historicalFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historicalFiction</span></a></p>

Disabilities for instance are regularly erased even from the narratives of people you've heard of--did you know Harriet Tubman had seizures and narcolepsy from a head injury, for instance? </p><p>My <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/shortStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shortStory</span></a> A Very Long Malaise, produced into a podcast episode by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@heatherrosejones" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>heatherrosejones</span></a></span> 's wonderful Lesbian Historic Motif project, is a case in point. There are records and allusions to working women in the Korean royal palace falling in love with each other, but none is mentioned by name which was probably best for the safety of these women. My story clothes that premise in the bodies, inner lives, and relationships of hopefully plausible characters for the selected period to tell an untold history. <a href="https://lesbianhistoricmotif.podbean.com/e/a-very-long-malaise-by-lj-lee-the-lesbian-historic-motif-podcast-episode-301/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lesbianhistoricmotif.podbean.c</span><span class="invisible">om/e/a-very-long-malaise-by-lj-lee-the-lesbian-historic-motif-podcast-episode-301/</span></a> The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast's fiction episodes all do this for sapphic people from a range of eras around the world and are well worth checking out. <a href="https://www.alpennia.com/lhmp/essays/lesbian-historic-motif-podcast-index-fiction-episodes" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">alpennia.com/lhmp/essays/lesbi</span><span class="invisible">an-historic-motif-podcast-index-fiction-episodes</span></a></p>

What was it?</p><p>This authoritative portrait of me by my 9 year old :blobcat_love:</p>
Kagan MacTane (he/him)<p>I like the juxtaposition of magic and the modern world that we inhabit, because I like the feeling, and implication, that magic could be around any&nbsp;— or every!&nbsp;— corner, just waiting for us to encounter it. I like the idea that *any* door could be the gateway to another world, and that any occurrence could be the call to adventure.</p><p>To me, that connects with the idea that every moment is an opportunity to choose what kind of future we want. 3/3</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a></p>
Dan Burley<p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> Why do you like your genre(s)/style(s)?</p><p>I like crime fiction because I'm forever disgusted with horrible people getting away with horrible things in real life, and that doesn't happen as often in, say, detective novels. There's usually some kind of punishment, be it legal or otherwise.</p><p>It helps take the sting away from the shit, criminal-glazing world we live in.</p>
Kagan MacTane (he/him)<p>So, okay, what do I like about urban fantasy? I like that it's set in cities. (Because I like cities. Why am I the kind of person who likes cities? Here we go again... 🙄) 2/3</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a></p>
Kagan MacTane (he/him)<p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> day 29: Why do you like your genre(s)/style(s)?</p><p>I've never been a fan of "why do you like X" kinds of questions. I can answer "what do you like about X", but *why* do you like it? That seems to me to just get into, "Why are you the kind of person who likes X?" Which is incredibly deep and philosophical. I like it because that's the kind of person I am. 1/3</p>
Jess Mahler<p><a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> 7/29 Why do you like your genre(s)/style(s)?</p><p>I've loved sci-fi/fantasy for most of my life. As a kid I loved it for the escapism, but the older I got the more I loved the way it explored ideas and possibilities.</p><p>For instance, I can explore what an agender society might look like (Planting Life in a Dying City)</p><p>which I could never do in a contemporary or historical fiction, because those have never (to our knowledge) existed.</p><p>My style is growth-centered queer fiction.</p><p>I am extremely done with the idea that conflict ('traditional' 3/5 act plot) is central to fiction. I write stories without antagonists and without 'central conflict'.</p><p>I love the chance to explore new ways of telling stories, of bring to live queer worlds and queerer characters. Of challenging assumptions and ideas about how stories 'should' work.</p>
Sarah J Hoodlet<p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> 29Jul—Why do you like your genre/style?</p><p>As a writer, I like fantasy because it allows me to explore topics in a safe space. Whether those topics are personal or more generic, it's a place that's in my control, both on page and in my mind.</p><p>Because of this, my style is reflective and emotional, with rich inner thought and introspection from the characters. As an INFJ and wild introvert, this is exactly the kind of story I crave.</p>

My writing is the result of that embrace.</p><p>I don’t slap together various genres/styles, but have stirred them together &amp; kneaded them for 2 decades. There, I can write the acceptance, caring, hope, &amp; love that’s elusive in this world.</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmWriting</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a></p>
GH Learner<p>29. Why do you like your genre(s)/style(s)?</p><p>I don't think I even have a style, I write the only way I can.<br>Genres: SF and Fantasy. I always loved reading or watching for escapism because my childhood wasn't nice. 'Higher education' tried to snob these genres out of me, but eventually I had enough of that and happily read what I want, not what others think I should want.<br>Therefore with the writing: SF and Fantasy all the way, on occasion a bit of horror in drabbles.</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/GL725" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GL725</span></a></p>
Will Elm<p><a href="https://indieauthors.social/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> July 29. Why do you like your genre(s)/style(s)?</p><p>I love fantasy, both reading and writing it, because the worlds there are endlessly creative and it's so much fun to get lost in them. I also think it's a great way to explore issues and life in our world without bringing all the preconceived notions and biases that we already have. Plus magic is pretty awesome.</p>
ClaraBlackInk<p>I like writing stories that offer glimpses into other worlds that aren't required to abide by anything specific to this one even though they draw from it through my senses and experiences.</p><p>For me, art is about escaping the proposition that the rules of this world MUST also dictate the inner world. I don't deny their effect. I just like that I can turn the key and open up my mind &amp; heart. It frees me. And I bring that back into my world. So...yeah...I enjoy the sandbox aspect</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a></p>
ClaraBlackInk<p>Mystery and horror appeal because they connect into behavior and its consequences. Sci-fi is appealing for the optimism and pessimism of imagination enacted on reality.</p><p>I think I'm most interested in something that ressembles "magical realism" but my understanding is that the genre is bound culturally so...as I say...genre is more about marketing and audience expectations.</p><p>So, I call my work "fantasy" because it is more broad and captures the idea that it is outside reality</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a></p>
ClaraBlackInk<p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> July 29: Why do you like your genre(s)/style(s)?</p><p>I think genre is (generally) for marketing and audiences to better categorize a thing than it is for the creator of the thing, except when the creator is purposely engaging with tropes or other creations that define the genre.</p><p>That aside, I enjoy fantasy, mystery, sci-fi and a touch of horror as setting the parameters for my stories. Fantasy's connection to mythology is what appeals most to me...</p>

I create a synthesis of various artistic styles.</p><p>Surrealism, impressionism, romanticism, mixed with symbolism, film noir, fantasy, and gothic aesthetics. </p><p>Which I like for the marvelling of existence through contemplation and especially imagination. I dream, therefore I am.</p><p><a href="https://lydiavvinters.com/the-art-of-ethereal/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lydiavvinters.com/the-art-of-e</span><span class="invisible">thereal/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/mastoart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastoart</span></a></p>

David W. Jones<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> July 28: Has anyone been unsupportive of your creative pursuits? If so, how did you handle that?</p><p>I started my creative pursuits at 13 or 14. I shared things with my parents. They always said nice things about them, but always asked, "But how will you support yourself?"</p><p>So I would listen to the encouragement and ignore the discouragement.</p>
Author-ized L.J.<p><a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> Jul. 28 - Has anyone been unsupportive of your creative pursuits / art? If so, how did you handle that?</p><p>I briefly mentioned to my dad that I write fiction too after he published his own, and he was so uninterested that I never brought it up again. Besides, if we'd started talking about it the very queer subject matter of my work would have come up and that would not have ended well. I simply don't talk about writing with him or most people in my life unless I think they'd be interested, and find supportive people online and elsewhere instead 💖</p>
