About J.J.
Author. Scorpio. Queer storyteller. Pet mom.
I’m an indie author writing sapphic fiction about bold, complex lesbians who take up space and own their stories—no subtext, just main character energy. I got my start in fan fiction, but after a while, I wanted more than borrowed characters. I wanted stories that felt fully ours.
A Bit More About Me
J.J. Arias is my pen name (thanks, day job). I’m married to a wonderful Cancer woman, and together we share our home with a small crew of very spoiled cats and dogs. I’m a Scorpio—yes, that kind—but I promise I’m one of the nice ones.

Gabbin’, Yappin’, and Yammerin’—Over on Patreon
When my friend Quinn and I hit a wall one day, the news was terrible, work felt soul-sucking, and the vibes were completely off. We started swapping voice notes just to decompress. And somehow, in all that mess, we ended up crying laughing. Like, can't-breathe, this-might-kill-me kind of laughing.
That’s when Yappin’ was born.
We figured if we needed that kind of queer joy infusion, maybe others did too. Our Patreon is a space where we gab, yap, and yammer about everything from sapphic stories and pop culture to the deeply unhinged. It’s chaotic good energy and a love letter to queer community.
Each month, we donate a portion of the proceeds to organizations doing the critical work of helping our community survive and thrive. We share who we’re supporting monthly, so you always know where your support is going.
