Roberta X Pierre - Tumblr Posts
So, guess who tested positive for Covid-19 and gets to be in quarantine until the 7th?
Yep. This girl!
I'm going to try not to think about it and maybe possibly get some writing done.
And thanks to @maghrib-genova I've fallen in love with Roberta/Pierre and have had an idea rolling around in my head for weeks now. Maybe I can get a chance to actually write it.
I'm not going to let this beat me. Or anyone I love. Fuck this virus. Fuck 2020. I'm going to focus on what makes me happy and hopefully this will fly by.
This is an amazing story writen by my friend, Cat. It is a wonderful drama with a beautiful love story. Check it out!!!
So, here we are! I’m really excited to finally share some of this story with you.
I SEE YOU is a romance / thriller set in 1950’s Paris and is the story of Roberta and Pierre.
I have specifically chosen today, 31st March, to share more about Roberta with you - because today is International Transgender Visibility Awareness Day, and that matters because Roberta is a transwoman.
So often in media and literature, people who identify as transgender have very poor representation, and it rarely seems to be positive. Trans characters are often portrayed as sex workers and often meet a nasty end. How many stories have a trans woman as not only the main protagonist, but also one of the romantic leads? I wanted to try and change that.
Here I present the prologue and first 2 chapters (which are still unedited and a work in progress) but as a teaser for the rest of the story to come, hopefully late 2021, or early 2022.
I will state these chapters are rated mature which includes sexual content.
Also, I will add as a trigger warning, that Roberta is in a relationship that falls under “dubious consent”. This will become clearer as to why as the story progresses, however it is not down to her gender identity – if you want to know more, please message me!
Once the full draft is completed, I will be looking for people to complete sensitivity reads. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please message me!
I hope you enjoy the teaser. I SEE YOU is important to me, and I hope this story, when finally released, is able to add some positivity to trans representation in the media.
