Writing can be such an elusive high. There's the thrill of being in progress of course, and the cosmic release of actually putting something out into the world, but if you're not careful, you can crash. I'm prone to it -- in 2022 I spent a lot of time feverishly hammering away on something I … Continue reading Being Excited About Writing Again

The Liam Slade 2023 Slate
Hi all, I'm taking time out of my day being Realname to pass along some updates about what I hope to achieve in 2023. I had very high hopes for 2022 and they didn't all materialize. That's okay, I worked hard and pursued a lot of ideas that didn't meet my satisfaction. At the end … Continue reading The Liam Slade 2023 Slate
Taking a breather (and getting back to it)
Somewhere along the way -- maybe amidst some very heartfelt responses to stories like The Fish of the Desert and Cat Fisher -- I found my standards being raised. There are a few stories on this site that maybe don't live up to what I want to do but for the most part everything I … Continue reading Taking a breather (and getting back to it)
Return to the Trading Post and the TG Wiki
Some updates on what I've been up to lately.
Special Teaser Preview: The Princess Awakening
I would love to be able to tell you that I am almost done with my next long work, which is called The Princess Awakening. Unfortunately, you can't rush the creative process and while I would love to be breezing through it, I have to settle for taking consistent, measured paces toward completion. My hope … Continue reading Special Teaser Preview: The Princess Awakening
Smashing it up, various updates
After deciding to part ways with Gumroad (I'm sure they're real broken up about it) I quickly set about finding a new secondary home for my works. It's important to me that Amazon not be the only place you can find stories like Kristi's Mom, I Changed Sexes With My Wife and Partsexchange, since I … Continue reading Smashing it up, various updates
The Next Day
At the begnning of last month (September) I uploaded the finalized version of the novel I had been working on since the launch of this site in spring 2020. There was a kind of funny symmetry to the timing. I could officially round up and say that I had been working toward it for a … Continue reading The Next Day
Keeping Busy
After peppering this site with a lot of short pieces last year, I've been giving more and more time to longer pieces that aren't going to get done in a single weekend. As a result, the content on this site has slowed to almost nothing, but that doesn't mean I've been slacking. As you know, … Continue reading Keeping Busy
Ideas, Ideas, Ideas
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I've been busy -- perhaps too busy. Over the last few months I have really increased the intensity with which I approach my work as Liam Slade, writer of TG/TF Fic. You've seen a couple of stories from me, including Steven: A Love Story (which can … Continue reading Ideas, Ideas, Ideas
Recent Happenings: The Art of Liam
Something I've done lately is launch a Deviant Art account. I don't think I'm a stupendous artist by any means - I enjoy putting pencil to paper and find it soothing to create something that matches, or exceeds, the image in my head, but I am stupendously limited (seriously not looking for compliments or reassurance … Continue reading Recent Happenings: The Art of Liam
