Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Well, it's on a bit of a sliding scale. At one end you have excellent books like The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet, which has sexy orgy aliens but leaves the details entirely to your imagination ... at the other end you have the Past Imperfect book series (available free from the author's website) which is Star Trek Voyager fan fiction with 10-page-long sex scenes, and lots of them.

My absolute favourite, however, is the Alsea Chronicles, which is somewhere in the middle.

I don't care for anything that doesn't have a good story/characters/plot/worldbuilding, though.

I'm the same i need good writing and plot. I'll start with the Alsea chronicles thanks 😊

I'm quite jealous that you get to read them for the first time :-)

They look like perfect holiday reading mate I've been looking for books to take with me. How spicy are they?

Mild by slash-fic standards, medium spicy by normie standards - IIRC there's one proper fully-described sex scene in each book. But the emphasis is on emotional connection ... to the point where, for me, the most sexy part of the whole 10.5 books is a specific first kiss because of how it was set up.

Oh that I like, a strong emotional connection makes any spice 1000 hotter
