I am very passionate about group chats. You know, I mean, like posting is writing. Hello, audience. If you don't know me, my name is Victoria. I'm online. You may know my Twitter or blue sky accounts at Dirtbag Queer. I'm like largely posting about football when football is in season. I kind of just post about random shit these days. But, uh, yeah, I've allegedly written a book.

Uh, the weird thing about writing a book is that I feel like I've just totally blacked out actually writing it. And I'm like, that's crazy. Who did that? Couldn't be me. But yeah, in terms of how I would very quickly pitch one of the boys, high school senior named Grace comes back to her high school football team.

She quit over the summer because she came out as trans because her teammates want to make a push for a state title. And it's like trans coming of age, Friday Night Lights, handshake meme. But also when I was like... big picture thinking about what I wanted to do with this. I wanted to tell kind of a like traditional high school sports story, but through an outsider lens.

Like if you think about the average like high school football story, you think like, well, what we're going to do is we're going to win state. We're going to get the scholarship and we're going to get the girl. And I wanted to sort of like deconstruct those three things by making the protagonist trans and making the protagonist a kicker instead of like a linebacker or a quarterback or whatever.

Yeah, that was... It is hard-writing... Fiction about sports, if you're writing young adult fiction, you know, which is what one of the boys is. Don't be weird about that if you're an adult. Teenage girls are like, you don't have to hate the things they like. You can like calm down a little bit.

But yeah, writing about football for an audience of like teenagers is like fascinating because you have to assume that the audience knows very little and you have to figure out how much you want to give them so that they get it without overwhelming them, which is really just not at all what I wanted to do.

But also, if you're a sicko like me, you can be like, ooh, I'm really into what this offense is doing, or I'm really into this onside kick play design. So I tried to do a little bit of both. And also, again, this is a trans coming-of-age story, so... It's also dealing with, you know, the horrors. So ball plus horrors is what we're working with here.
