My best friend hated Great Expectations so much that she burned it. She took photos of the book on fire, and posted them in our locker the following year.

What assigned English class book did you viscerally HATE (the most)? I tried to make it general by some authors since curriculums vary.

Any Charles Dickens book

Any Shakespeare Play

Any Greek Epic

The Great Gatsby

1984

A Scarlet Letter

Lord of the Flies

Frankenstein

Other (if it's farenheit 451, I'll burn you)

I didn't viscerally hate any English class book

Say it with me now

You are never late to a fandom. Your fic is never "invalid" for being "late". Your fic doesn't need a high word limit. Your fic does not need a high standard. Your fic does not need to be highly popular. Your fic isn't less valid than a popular author's fic. Your fic isn't inheritly bad. Your fic is amazing. Your fic is valid. The only thing that matters is that you're having fun. Fandom is not consumption and consumerism. Fandom is fun, free and for the people. Fandom is not a popularity contest. We're all nerds at the end of the day.

re-reading my own fic because the author has exactly my taste in tropes, ships the same ships in the right way, and also shares my sense of humour. what a find, what a revelation. i hope they write more of this sort of thing.

Chapter 37 of Intended is posted. Sorry it's late, but I hated it too much to post yesterday.

Above image is a pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Since I haven't been writing lately, I have noticed an uptick in comments on my completed stories and they make me SO HAPPY. I love seeing older stories getting some attention, it's truly the best feeling.

DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON OLD FICS DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON FICS IN A FANDOM THE AUTHOR MAY NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN. IF THE STORY IS STILL UP LET THEM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IT MIGHT JUST BE THE REMINDER THAT MAKES THEIR DAY.

SINCERELY SOMEONE WHO JUST GOT A REPLY THAT MADE ME WANNA MAKE THIS POST

raise a glass to the posts you love that end up deleted. to the fanart and fanfics you lose track of and can’t locate. to the blogs you used to look through that ended up unexpectedly disappearing. to the things you didn’t archive because you always assumed they’d be there.

Chapter 5 of Devil May Care is posted.

Are you putting out any new lucifer stories soon? Do you know when you will be posting another chapter of the story intended. love your stories, find them very interesting and well written. keep up the good work.

Hey there! I'm so happy you enjoy the fruit of my demons, thanks for letting me know. 🥰🥰

I do have a chapter of Devil May Care that I wrote 2 months ago that I still need to proofread and post.

For Intended, I don't know yet when I'll be able to resume posting. My job has required us all to return to office, and that has effectively killed all creative energy I once had. I'm job searching, but for now, while I know what happens in the story, I am lacking the words to effectively tell it. 😢 I hate it, and I have a few more chapters of the story from where I left off posting, but I didn't want to leave it on a cliffhanger, so believe me when I say it's far better resting where it is for now.

I'll post here and on Twitter when I can resume posting, and if you haven't subscribed to the story, I'd recommend that so you'll get a notification when the next chapter does post!

Thanks so much for reading, and for checking in on me. I do appreciate it!

Here's to the people who can't get the words on the page. The people who are too tired after all life throws at them to write. The people who are blocked. The people who are burnt out. The people who can't write because of physical or mental illnesses. The people who don't know why they can't write. And the people struggling with all those other things that get in the way of writing and make it seem or be impossible.

You're still a writer, you're still an artist. And you matter. This world is better since you're in it. Thank you for wanting to write, even if you can't right now. I hope you and your words find each other soon.
