In her personal life, Quinn can usually be found relaxing at home with her books, her laptop, and copious amounts of coffee. Becoming an author has been a dream of hers since childhood.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In this episode, Imogen and Piper read "It's Cute What a Mess You Are," Imogen's short story in Yuletide Yearning: A Sapphic Solstice Anthology, and share behind-the-scenes author commentary.

Story Blurb:

Hazel and Adeline have been going at it for 300 years…but not in the way Hazel would prefer.

For the last three hundred years, Hazel and Adeline have met on the solstice for a witches’ duel.

Each year, Adeline sets the rules. Each year, she breaks them.

This year, the rules are simple: “Transfiguration. Animal kingdom only. Nothing fantastical.” But when Adeline inevitably breaks the rules, Hazel’s had enough, pushing her magic to new limits and breaking some rules herself.

Will this centuries-long duel finally come to an end? Or will these two witches continue to ignore their true feelings for each other?

It’s Cute What a Mess You Are is a sapphic, enemies-to-lovers short story between one clueless ice witch and one bratty fire witch.

Warning: This episode contains explicit discussions of sex.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In this episode of Romance Uncensored, author Imogen Knowed is joined by her friend Piper James for a chaotic and candid conversation about the Omegaverse.

They dig into what elements of the Omegaverse have remained consistent throughout the genre's evolution, while discussing the many ways authors have established their own Omegaverse lore.

Yeah, they talk about alphas, betas, omegas, knots, slick, nests, and heats, but this conversation goes much deeper than anatomy and tropes.

They cover the pressure authors can feel when writing in a genre with expectations that aren't clearly defined, as well as the freedom that comes with creating your own universe and your own rules.

Mixed within their enthusiastic appreciation for simpy alphas and dependable betas, there's multiple detours, including: an impromptu Scream Omegaverse fanfic idea (that Imogen very well may write), cats who insist on being part of the podcast conversation, lamentations on perimenopause and ADHD symptoms, and the joys of being a “baby girl” after a long day.

It’s a fun, filthy, and unfiltered conversation about reading and writing books within a fandom that doesn't come with a universal rule book.

Content warning: Explicit sexual discussion and mature themes.
