We are the elders of the sea, travelers, shapeshifters, and creatures that power your furthest exploration of both outer and inner space. Though our stories span relationships, lifetimes, and galaxies, they are also exactly what bring us together and makes us Intergalactic Gaysians.
We are storytellers, artists, and poets, sewing our worlds together into one anthology just for you. You — the world-hopper, the curious, the reader with a far out story of your own that perhaps longs for a home just as ours did. We hope this book teaches you to breathe even when underwater, invites you to love queerly and without a script, and ultimately lands you back home, curious and warm.
With 10 original short stories, 5 art pieces (in color!), and 4 poems, our speculative fiction anthology is unabashedly queer, Asian, and unconventional. There is mature content, including violence, sex, and abuse. However, there is also laughter, love, and (✿ ◠‿◠) !!!
Without giving too much away, here is a short preview of what’s inside:
futuristic technology for traveling through space, time, and memories
cute mechatronics, aquatic souls, and vampires
oppressive mothers who don’t know how to love their strange child
the spirits of our cultures witness our transformations through hardship and strife
friendship and love can hurt, change, and heal us
lots of water and wetness
the fungi are here
We hope this entices you to support our Kickstarter so we can show you what we’ve put together. If you have already pledged, we appreciate and love you! Please keep spreading the word!
🪐🪐🪐 very exciting!
