Queer Writing for a Queer World
//
Kurt and Louis spend the day together and buy new overalls, ready for the start of college. As they eat lunch, Kurt tells a story of a girl he met while staying at his grandparents’ house on the south coast. Later that day, Ollie came home with some spectacular news.
//
Louis’s wishes for the day are ruined because Conor stays home. He meets Cian in the park, where they talk and behave like lovesick teenagers. But Louis is being pestered by Kurt, his best friend, who is due home very soon.

The opening chapter takes Louis back to Cian, the boy who’s had a crush on him for years and seduced Louis into fucking him. Louis is smitten and confused by Cian. He drops by his house to try to work out his feelings.

Goodbye 2025 and hello 2026! I’m not one for resolutions, but there are a few things I want to do this year: get healthier and cut back on the booze. Both will help me with my continuing battle with depression. But I also want to write more. I have an idea for a story which I tried to start last month, but something didn’t click. Perhaps it was my frame of mind at the time, so I want to try again this year.
I hope to bring you more stories from Cockaigne, both series and short stories, and I want to write more short stories away from Cockaigne.
Whatever you want to achieve this year, I wish you every success.
