Where Fantasy and Reality Meet

A Queer Writer's Blog.

Queer as in gay, but also as in unique and weird.

Queer Love, Always

Queer. It’s a word that holds power, history, and identity—and yet, the world doesn’t always greet it with kindness. Some folks, even with good intentions, flinch at it, calling it a slur. Others speak over us, assuming they know our stories better than we do. And then there’s the hate, always loud, cruel, and exhausting.

But here’s the truth: the world spends far too much energy policing love. Who we love. How we love. Why we love. And for what? Love doesn’t harm; in fact, it heals. It uplifts. It connects. So why does it threaten anyone else?

And let’s be real: the fixation on what’s in someone’s pants? That’s not curiosity. That’s invasive. That’s creepy. That’s not okay.

We deserve joy. We deserve safety. We deserve to define ourselves on our own terms. And if the word queer feels like home to us, then let it be a celebration.

What You'll Find Here

Welcome to a space where fantastic means more than just “great;” it means bold, brilliant, and unapologetically weird (in the best way). This blog is a kaleidoscope of queer joy, literary passion, and radical curiosity. You’ll find book recommendations that celebrate LGBTQIA+ voices, musings on the craft of writing, and reflections on activism that challenge the status quo.

Why “fantastic”? Because like the word queer, it carries layers: magic, defiance, wonder, and a touch of the unexpected. We don’t just highlight the rainbow; we revel in the beautifully bizarre, the gloriously offbeat, and the stories that refuse to fit into neat little boxes.

So if you’re here for the heartfelt, the rebellious, the genre-bending, and the gloriously strange, well, you’re in the right place.
