4th Street is the kind of con that tickles my brain like that.

Hello! I am a tiny queer author of big queer ideas. My most recent novel is a science fantasy about space elves.

Bi MC, lesbian 2nd character, and gender-diverse rep, botanical tech including FTL treeships and farting ship birds.

It was so soul enriching and heartening to hang out with old beloved friends and make new ones at this year’s @4thstreetfantasy.bsky.social 🖤🦷

as always there were some that I did not see as much as I wanted to but that’s the problem with just having one mushy mammal brain to perceive reality with🤷‍♂️

no YOU’RE awesome 💙

Goobar 4th Street, you are the best

😭 same, we missed you! Hopefully we’ll see you next year?

They are AMAZING.

I love all of these. They feel like @4thstreetfantasy.bsky.social.

Another @4thstreetfantasy.bsky.social is in the record books, and @liesandperfidy.bsky.social has officially declared that this one will be remembered in the annals as 4th Street Under the Circumstances.

Good convention.

Don't want to talk to another human being for at least a week.

The middle book is a Coptic stitch exposed spine bind with blue stitching and a blue and white flower cover. At the bottom of the pile, a full folio-sized text block bound in French link stitch over tapes. It, too, is in need of a case.
