Hello! I share your interest in SFF with queer and trans characters, although I'll confess to not being especially well-read. I've been reading the Machineries of Empire series lately, which has well-delivered on that front. Do you have any particular recs?

I've also recently been in The Magnus Archives fandom, and The Magnus Protocol has also sparked my interest. I haven't gotten around to backing it (not that it needs my help, clearly!) but it looks like it's going to at least be interesting. I've enjoyed some of the work from some people they're getting in to do guest writing from the rest of the network.

I also enjoyed Our Flag Means Death, although I didn't get very fannish about it, and your fics look interesting, I'll have to give them a read!

Hi! I wish I had a recs list, but I'm always looking for recs from other people. There's a lot more queer sff than there used to be, but a lot of it is by and about queer women, and as a queer man that's not always what I'm looking for. Alas, there doesn't seem to be a parallel increase in the amount of sff by and about queer men.

Hope you enjoy the fics if you give them a read. I've written in a lot of fandoms, so there's probably something in there that might suit you!

That's fair! I've found it hard to find queer books by/about trans men - I remember asking a queer bookshop if they had any, and they didn't, at the time - so my only rec off the top of my head is the Machineries of Empire series by Yoon Ha Lee, which has a broad cast of characters, and is written by a queer trans man. But I also feel like that's a fairly well-known series by the standards of queer SFF? I have no idea.
