Please read the in-person event guidelines at the bottom of this page to be sure you can participate in the event. Join us for Intimate F[r]agments: A Smutty Queer Open Mic for trans and queer people, hosted by L’or from NYC. This open mic is space for your smuttiest poetry, short fiction, and lil zines! Bring us your recountings of that one night stand you can't stop thinking about, the T4T erotica of our collective dreams, that smutty fanfiction that hasn't made it to AO3 yet, the sex that got better with time, masturbation tales, kinky explorations, and Subaru quickies - we want it all! We will have a sign-up sheet with 3-5 minute slots for readers and performers available at the front at 6:00pm.
