Seriously, the independently published trans fiction is where the good fucking shit is at. In addition to Unjust Depths, I also have Read-Only Mind and AO3 rec lists a mile long.
i definitely wouldn't recommend anything from read only minds on here lest the volcel cops get after me but i have a bunch of stuff i've liked on ao3 and scribblehub that i would recommend in a heartbeat. have you read dorley? or the stuff from the great scribblehub egg arms race?
dorley's interesting and generally very good as an examination of the kind of fiction i read a lot of when i was younger that definitely wasn't good for me to be reading
the great scribblehub arms race is how i refer to a trend over the past couple years of trans authors on scribblehub to write stories about very dense eggs. one of my favorites is to own the libs, in which a conservative egg tries to prove that cis men will infiltrate queer spaces and ends up socially transitioning, starting hrt, legally changing her name, realizes that she was super shitty about queer issues and apologizing before realizing she isn't cis. stuff like that. mainly about eggs finding excuses to do increasingly transgender things before realizing they're actually trans.
here's one about an elf egg disguising herself as a woman to escape an arranged marriage and ending up very happy and trying to hide that she's not a woman when everyone around her realized she was trans well before her. another about a school full to the brim with eggs who are all slowly forced to hatch thanks to some sort of magical contest they've been entered in against their will. here's one about an egg making online friends who all think she's trans. she doesn't really know why they keep saying weird things but they believe she's a girl which makes her very happy.
also not part of the egg arms race, but The Harem Protagonist Was Turned Into A Girl!! And Doesn’t Want To Change Back!!!?? is a really fun sendup of classic harem comedy anime like tenchi muyo and the works of rumiko takahashi that just ends up as a polycule centered around the former everyman protagonist who realized she was a woman. i think it's fun
a lot of these are very white and they're mostly very focused on like. upper middle class people in the imperial core (except for the fantasy ones), but they're fun. in contrast unjust depths spends huge amounts of it's word count talking about colonized people rising up against the colonizer and most of them are explicitly non-white, which is one of many reason's it's good. a muslim catgirl gives a speech where she tears apart colonizers for not realizing the extent of the historical injustices inflicted on her people
I see, I continue to be the only one who was not raised on a horrible cocktail of forcefem/genderbender porn. I wanted to read Dorley but the author is connected to a very scuffed individual, so alas.
However I am picking up several of these links for later eating, tyvm. There is indeed a blooming genre of egg-fiction..
I don't actually have that much, just uh a mess of smut from various fic websites. I spent a lot of my time reading published-ass books, so that's where my knowledge is primarily. It's awful! You'd be better off asking Cromalin about it.
Also don't be, I spent a lot of time with weird horrible futa hentai as a kid instead. There are more worms than brain in this skull!

Got me hyped for Unjust Depths also

I know of Dorley. I was fascinated, but special case.
Please however regale me with the tale of The Great Scribblehub Egg Arms Race??

wait, really? who's she connected to?
Could you say more about egg-fiction? I'm curious!
Happy for you ;.;

Ooooh I thought egg-fiction was an emergent trend in 'literary' trans fiction not a smut genre.
No, lmao, you wish. "Literary" trans fiction is just getting up its own ass more, lol
Although there is a bit of transmasc egging in Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt, lol

That you for this. I have so many fun stories to read now.
