Hi! I was wondering the same thing, is there an update on your plans for Nadir and Talfa?

R. Cooper Oh man. I love them so much. Well, for a while, my answer was: I don't have the time because Taji took so long to write. But I suppose a second book would go smoother (at least a little) because the universe has been built already. Or the foundation is there, I guess. And when I was in the middle of working on Taji, I thought this would make *such* a fun trilogy. One for Taji, one for Nadir, and one for Lin. (So fucking fun) But then uh, well, Taji has an audience now but it did not for a looong time. Then uh, well, honestly anything I write with any sort of trans or non-cis characters does not sell well. Like at all. Which could just be my writing not appealing to a trans audience. I mean, my f/f stuff doesn't really sell either. (Sorry, Lin. I really wanted you and Mos to have angry sexual tension.) So now, my answer is more along the lines of, if I suddenly got very financially comfortable, I would write my little dream project, or *at least* write Nadir and Talfa being epically in love amid danger and political scheming. Nadir is the most badass and I love him. THE SCENE I IMAGINE I CANNOT.

ahem

However, while I wait on that ship to come in (sigh), I did do a charity drive (a few actually) where someone donated and asked for a bit of Talfa and Nadir in the future, and I wrote a quick version of a scene I envisioned for them. It is on my Patreon, but locked, and on Tumblr, which is a disaster to search. Luckily, I know how to search it. :)

I also found another (sadder) futurefic charity prompt that is just Nadir while I was at it. (And I hope these links work. It's been a while since I've done html)

Hopefully, those help scratches any itches for Nadir (or Talfa) you might have. :)
