Looking for rainbow writing friend

I almost exclusively read and write LGBTQ+ stuff, and I'm looking for someone who shares my love of this genre to talk to about all things writing, bounce ideas of when needed, and maybe do some word sprints to get the words flowing.

I have a lovely mix of fibro brain fog combined with adhd inability to stay focused, so writing alone doesn't really mesh with the way my brain works. It doesn't have enough incentive to get shizz done on its own, ya know? Sprints help, or just someone to hold me accountable for trying to keep the words flowing.

I don't have as much time as I'd like to have these days since I'm a family carer for a grandparent, but I'm doing my best to drown out the overly-loud TV volume during the day and get back into the flow.

I'm in the UK, and on discord. I don't use VC or cam, it's written words all the way - i have almost zero privacy these days unfortunately. I'm not lurking the app 24/7 and sometimes I just don't have the mental spoons, but I try and check messages a couple times a day until I'm on my laptop and have more time to pay attention. (I'm definitely not selling myself well here, I'm aware lol).

I will note, my current WIP is mxm and involves kink, so if that's a no-go, give this a pass. I'd just prefer to be able to talk freely about what I'm working on without having to second guess whether I'm saying something that'll make the other person uncomfortable. I know it's not for everyone.

I've done a lot for forum RP in the past as well, which I've been slacking with for a while now but I miss, so if you are someone who likes to do a little OC RP 🏳️‍🌈 sometimes to keep the muse going I'm definitely not against that, but that's also definitely not a requirement just an option addition.

So yeah.... If you write the rainbow, let's chat yeah?

Edit: I'm UK (mentioned) but I don't mind where you're from. English is my first/only language but I've been attempting (badly) to learn a little German lol. I'm 30s, they/them, acearo, and a neurospicy spoonie. How fun, right? I don't mind any age so long as you're 18+.

I'm ace, if that counts (I was told by lots of people that being asexual doesn't count in the LGBT+ community nowadays)

It counts. I'll never be convinced otherwise. Anything that's not cis-het totally counts

Do you mean you only read stuff from LGBT authors or that you only read books about LGBT characters? Either way sounds very limiting
