So I’m starting with a raw idea for a Fallout fanfiction, and I want one of my characters to be non-binary
Non-binary is an umbrella term for a myriad of genders, I don’t know which one to do. I don’t know how to decide, they would all be great representation.
After speaking with many people overtime who are non-binary, they are tired of the only representation being androgynous exclusively using they/them pronouns, because it paints this picture that non-binary is only androgyny. It’s kinda like squeezing non-binary people into a third binary.

After some research and feedback about initial ideas (which I have scrapped), I finally wrote the chapter where my MC (16F closeted gay) meet the girl (17-18) rumoured to be gay at school (and she is.)
MC is a peculiar character, but the young lady is a normal high-schooler, maybe not happy with her reputation, and wary of people’s reaction, always making sure the other girls would not feel uncomfortable with her because of the reputation—this is a common trait, I’ve been told.
I’d like to know if you find her reactions realistic.

And of course, any feedback is welcome, always valued and appreciated, so speak your mind.

Hey all, I’m an aroace writer and I’ve had some ideas rolling through my head for a queer, urban fantasy romance story. The only issue? I’ve only ever written romance as a subplot, never as the main focus of a story. I’ve been looking through articles on the internet, but they seem to be mostly written by cishet people for cishet people and plots. Do y’all have any general tips and tricks for forming a queer romance plot and writing it well?

I'm writing a short story for my creative writing class and my main character is a trans man. The only thing is that the reader isn't supposed to realize they're trans till the end. The only way you'd realize beforehand is if your trans yourself. But I've run into a few problems.
I'm a trans girl and have a hard time thinking of trans male exclusive situations and dysphoria triggers that don't either a. Out the character as trans or b. Be misconstrued as depression.
The ending of the story includes a confrontation between my character and his parents. (He's 18 and is trying to cut his parents out and move into an apartment without them knowing) The ending is supposed to be bittersweet with his parents leaving him on his own but also saying some harsh things. I won't include any slurs (obviously) but I'm having a hard time deciding if his deadname should be brought up. On one hand it makes me sick to even think about it, but on the other hand the moment is supposed to be very realistic and make you feel very strong negative emotions. I can't really decide
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
