It& #39;s the last day of #AceAwarenessWeek & I wanted to talk a bit abt the ace rep in #EightKinkyNights (out 12/3)
I& #39;m currently #amediting & just finished honing a scene where the gray ace MC & the stone MC each talk abt the specific challenges of negotiating sex for them.

I& #39;m demigray ace & stone, both of these POVs are ownvoices. I really enjoyed writing this pair & showing how they navigate a rship that& #39;s sometimes sexual, esp as a central aspect of the book is both MCs working on honoring their own needs, desires, boundaries & consent.

It& #39;s rare to find ace spec rep where the ace spec MC has a v active sexual history that& #39;s rather complicated & includes sex that was technically consented to but not actually wanted, where the arc of the story is about honoring your own consent more deeply.

It took me a long time to reconcile my own demigray aceness w/my own complex sexual history, erotica writing & kink & sex education work, & I wanted to write an MC who was grappling w/those same things & with the reality of reworking sexual boundaries in those contexts.

I& #39;m hoping this rep helps other ace spec folks see themselves on the page & esp folks who may have been told that they can& #39;t be ace spec because they& #39;ve been too sexually active/are assumed to be too into or comfortable with sex. Those messages made things v hard for me.

Eight Kinky Nights is complex & it grapples with these things deeply & openly. I need an abundance of stories that do that, & hope mine can be one of many that include these kinds of ace spec representation.

Right now, I can recommend these two contemporary romances as ones that center ace spec MCs who have been substantially sexually active. These books mean a lot to me & I& #39;m very glad they exist.
-That Kind of Guy by Talia Hibbert (m/f)
-Thrown Off Track by Tamsen Parker (m/m)

So, "full length" is a bad way to phrase this. All fiction is "full length" for it& #39;s size. I apologize for the size queen implications. I deeply love short stories & novelettes & novellas & will keep writing them.
What I intended to say was that this is a novel.
