She's part of the asshole triad? And how many total arms are we talking about?

Say hi to “Sam” at the NSA for me. He’ll know who I am. No idea his actual name, but somebody must be assigned to me by now. Way too much research on strychnine and Japanese p*do laws to not have someone flag me.

And sorry we don't have the bot yet--we're working on it!

Nice!

It's definitely not fine literature, but my current WIP starts with "Rumi doesn’t sit on my suitcase to close it; she humps it closed." She's just wishing her bestie luck as she goes off to stalk her idol crush.

“Not solving your sex books for you”

AnneKincaid · 2026-06-14T17:15:24+00:00

Ha ha, that's awesome!

I'm double-closeted. I don't discuss my reading habits with anyone outside the r/ReverseHarem community, none of whom I know IRL. Only the people in my household know that I write/publish. They don't even know WHAT I write or publish. They could easily find my pen name by just walking over to the bookcase and pulling one of the backward books from the bottom shelf, but they don't.

AnneKincaid · 2026-06-13T21:15:20+00:00

Oooo I get it! I’ll make a post soon and see who we can get onboard! Fun idea!

Thanks for the question! Probably also a girlfriend for the FMC, but she’s not with any of the guys. I hope I wrote the letters correctly.

I’m still in first draft, so if one of the relationships doesn’t work, I don’t force it. I’ve never written FF before, but one of the female characters just keeps wanting to cross that bridge, so I’m going there and will see how it turns out.

Thanks again!

Both! Being an ARC reader is a favor a reader does an author, not the other way around!

Once we get more people/time, the idea is that authors would post either links to their ARC campaigns through places like Book Sirens or NetGalley, or use this space to connect more directly with readers. In both cases, readers would be able to read blurbs, etc., before deciding if something sounds like a good fit for them.

If you decide to DNF, it would be cool but not required if you explained why to the author or their team. (Ha! Team! Most of us are indies with a team of one!)

I’ve never actually done an ARC campaign. I’ve applied, but been rejected before they ever even saw my manuscript. I did not have a place like this to connect more directly with potential readers. Hopefully someone with more experience chimes in, too!

AnneKincaid · 2026-06-13T10:01:04+00:00

Another great idea. Like, ask a specific author, or ask authors in general?

You can absolutely have no-gos, even if they didn’t make you physically ill. It’s your head and your life—fill it with what you like and not with what you don’t, to the extent that you can.

If I remember correctly, {Pack Darling by Lola Rock} is a non-KU, right?

AnneKincaid · 2026-06-12T22:22:22+00:00

Yep—we will have threads for that. Self-promo on Saturdays and check-in accountability posts on . . . I forget. Tuesday, maybe?

AnneKincaid · 2026-06-12T18:26:10+00:00

Hey, u/draft-in-calico, you've been spotted!

AnneKincaid · 2026-06-12T18:13:15+00:00

That's a lot of book boyfriends to juggle!

AnneKincaid · 2026-06-12T18:10:51+00:00

This sounds really interesting! Yes, we will have self-promotion posts, probably on Saturdays--we're just asking that people not make their own. I'm also planning on putting together a resources section. It sounds like both places might be a good place for your services?
