Hi! Sending via ask since your dms are restricted-- if I'm interested in a printed community copy, is there an email I should send the request to? (: Thank you ! (Answer privately if you'd prefer)

Oops I didn't even realize my DMs were restricted, so thank you!

My public email is thoughty-bjs (at) outlook, if you send your request (# of copies, name, general location) to that email with the subject line "Turn Community Copy", I will respond to confirm receipt and how many copies I can send and I'll request your mailing address at that time so you don't have to worry about your information going to an unknown inbox. I generally follow up when I send it and ask for a confirmation when you receive it, but there's no other obligation!

Thank you, and I'll fix my DMs! 💙

Starter for @pigeonwheel

Ships ; Abraham Woodhull and Leah Daniels

Abraham Woodhull gently shushed a babbling Thomas. He was surprised that his son was not crying but maybe that was because those tiny arms were reaching impatiently for Leah. Abe chuckles and rubs his back as he stares over at his wife. His beautiful and precious wife. His wife, who can kick anyone's butt if they so much as looked at her wrong. She was Washington's second in command. That meant many times where she was unable to return home. Home was the British controlled town in Setauket. Thomas babbled away, unaware of what was truly going on. The baby giggled and squirmed, wanting Leah.

All of a sudden a loud explosion sounded. The tavern shook. The people gasped and clung to one another or the tables. Thomas started crying at the noise. Abe looked grimly at Leah, silently hoping she had a plan. Caleb gently tapped Ben from the back and the two conversed in low whispers. Caleb nodded and went to relay the conversation to Leah. Abe watched them, biting down on the inside of his cheek. He needed to get the three of them alone.

"Major Hewlette won't surrender." He commented, standing up. He held his sobbing son. "He's a man of honor." Honestly that was maybe one of the few reasons why he liked the British Major.

"Shut that thing up." Roberson hissed while glaring at a still crying Thomas.

"Hey. How about you shut your own trap yeah?" Caleb demanded. He won't let anyone be mean to his god son.

If you, like @companionwolf, want a print copy and you're marginalized in any way (including financial status), please send me a message! I still have a few reserved print copies I saved to ship out as community copies, and I still can afford to ship a few. 💙 I only send them if I get a request (I don't want to directly solicit), but I will ship them out. I also will send them to libraries, schools, and even small queer friendly game shops!

(I have a couple dozen copies I could part with because I don't expect my IPR copies will ever sell out. Since I don't expect I'll ever reprint, I don't know if there will be more later, but I would rather people get copies in their hands than have the books sit here unused on my shelf, and community copies were a big part of my Kickstarter!)

Right before the pandemic, I did a Kickstarter for my TTRPG Turn, which is about playing shapeshifters in small mostly rural towns. I worked with some great people on it and I think it is still an amazing game and wish I could play it more and expand upon it extensively, but I don't think that it will be in the cards for me.

However, it still exists.

This game, where you struggle between your public and private identities, where the rules are mostly focused on avoiding faux pas in human social interactions in order to keep your beast side hidden, where violence is easy but has hard consequences, and where the biggest struggle is finding people who will still love and care for you when you're exposed to be something most people would see as monstrous or freakish & you're struggling to live, it exists. I made that, six years after I first conceptualized it, & now five years after I made it real, no one knows.

I didn't get to take it to tons of conventions & promote it heavily, in part because I was struggling with my health, in part because the pandemic cut short a lot of my plans, in part because I didn't truly have a community that loved & cared for me when I was exposed & struggling. Instead, I lost my community, & I eventually had to give up my dreams, too.

But Turn exists. It's still beautiful and special to me, and I have had experiences with it building community and finding myself that I don't think I will have in real life. It's how I found my name. It mattered. Today, I'm holding on to that.
