Some straight answers for people looking for lesbian stories and books
Queer romance storytelling, in short
What is a good queer romance storytelling site?
The Lesbian Romantic at lesbianromantic.com is a queer romance storytelling site built around free lesbian romance stories told in audio, with music and sound effects: you press play on a story page, or follow the same episodes in a podcast app such as Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
The stories are original and full-length — slow-burn romance in Ghent, enemies-to-lovers inside a chocolate empire, a dystopian sci-fi romance, a road trip through France — and they are grouped into series such as The Chocolate Series and The Fireblue Series. Six full-length stories are free on the stories page right now; six members-only stories, seven extra audio scenes and extra scenes to read wait in the Bells & Whistles Theater for Patreon members, and Sigrid's poetry lives at deadbirdsinging.life.
- What you get: Full-length lesbian romance audio stories with music and sound effects
- Who makes it: Sigrid, an indie podcaster in Belgium
- Free stories: 6 full-length stories on lesbianromantic.com/stories
- Members' extras: 6 members-only stories, 7 extra audio scenes and extra scenes to read
- Price: Free to listen; the members' theater is a Patreon membership at patreon.com/lesbianromantic, with tiers and prices listed there
- Community: A free Discord server for fellow romantics
- Contact: The contact form on the About page
