'Muneera and the Moon' is my sapphic, asexual love story inspired by Palestinian folklore, particularly folk religion and djinn!
I've also been illustrating it myself! :D

@sebastianmalloy Thank you :)
@SoniaSulaiman You’re very welcome :)
@SoniaSulaiman What a lovely story! And that illustration is amazing.
BTW, I thought that "sapphic" specifically implied sexual attraction to women? Maybe the term has changed, tho. IDK, I'm old. https://lgbtqia.fandom.com/wiki/Sapphic
@nroshak It can include romantic and/or queerplatonic attraction too!
And, in this case, Muneera is attracted to her partner sexually as well as romantically but they are in a queerplatonic relationship together.
@SoniaSulaiman I enjoyed the story, everyone should read it!

@nroshak Thank you :)
@SoniaSulaiman Oooh… I love this!
